research Safety of Whole-Body Abrogation of the TRF1 Shelterin Protein in Wild-Type and Cancer-Prone Mouse Models
Deleting the Trf1 protein in mice is safe and may help prevent cancer without major side effects.
research Deletion of the MAD2L1 Spindle Assembly Checkpoint Gene Is Tolerated in Mouse Models of Acute T-Cell Lymphoma and Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Deleting the MAD2L1 gene in mice led to rapid tumor growth despite chromosomal instability.
research Alopecia Areata: Animal Models
Alopecia areata is influenced by genetics and immune system factors, and better understanding could improve treatments.
research Evaluation of Animal Models Suitable for Hair Research and Regeneration
Animal models, especially mice, are essential for advancing hair loss research and treatment.
research Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 4 Expression Alters the Number of Keratinocyte Stem Cells in the Mouse Hair Follicle
Changing CDK4 levels affects the number of stem cells in mouse hair follicles.
research Analysis of the Human Diseasome Using Phenotype Similarity Between Common, Genetic, and Infectious Diseases
The study found that diseases can be grouped by symptoms and that the accuracy of predicting disease-related genes varies with the data source.
research Ectodysplasin Research: Where to Next?
Future research on ectodysplasin should explore its role in diseases, stem cells, and evolution, and continue developing treatments for genetic disorders like hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia.
research Mutant Laboratory Mice With Abnormalities in Hair Follicle Morphogenesis, Cycling, and Structure: Annotated Tables
Mutant mice help researchers understand hair growth and related genetic factors.
research The Developmental Basis of Fingerprint Pattern Formation and Variation
Fingerprints form uniquely before birth due to specific genetic pathways and local signals.
research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
research Life Sciences Discovery And Technology Highlights
New technologies show promise in healing wounds, treating cancer, autoimmune diseases, and genetic disorders.
research Stem Cell Identification: In Vivo Lineage Analysis Versus In Vitro Isolation And Clonal Expansion
In vivo lineage labelling is better than in vitro methods for identifying and understanding stem cells.
research The Etiology and Pathogenesis of Alopecia Areata
The cause of alopecia areata is likely a mix of genetics, immune system issues, and environmental factors, with more research needed to understand it fully.
research Lineage Analysis of Epidermal Stem Cells
Skin stem cells maintain and repair the outer layer of skin, with some types being essential for healing wounds.
research Markers of Epidermal Stem Cell Subpopulations in Adult Mammalian Skin
The document concludes that adult mammalian skin contains multiple stem cell populations with specific markers, important for understanding skin regeneration and related conditions.
research From the Microscopic Sweat Gland to Large Datasets: The Power of Quantitative Traits in Dermatology
Using quantitative traits in genetics can improve understanding and management of skin health and conditions.
research Comparison of Alopecia Areata in Human and Nonhuman Mammalian Species
The document concludes that certain rats and mice are useful for studying hair loss in humans and testing treatments.
research Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome: Current Status and Prospects for Gene Therapy Treatment
Gene therapy has potential as a future treatment for Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome.
research What Is Behind the 'Swarm of Bees' in Alopecia Areata
Alopecia areata is caused by immune system issues, and JAK inhibitors might help treat it.
research Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex: A Paradigm for Disorders of Tissue Fragility
Epidermolysis bullosa simplex causes easily blistered skin due to faulty skin cell proteins, leading to new treatment ideas.
research Wounding Induces Dedifferentiation of Epidermal Gata6+ Cells and Acquisition of Stem Cell Properties
Wounded skin cells can revert to stem cells and help heal.
research Type 2-Mediated Oxidative Reprogramming Promotes Macrophage Transition into Repair Mode for Wound Healing
Type 2 inflammation helps wound healing by switching immune cells to repair mode.
research DNA Damage Response Mediates Pressure Overload-Induced Cardiomyocyte Hypertrophy
Targeting ATM could help manage heart cell enlargement due to pressure overload.
