Humans lost body hair relatively recently in evolution.
research An Update on Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia is a genetic disorder with two forms, causing symptoms like early puberty and severe acne, but can be identified through screening and treated with glucocorticoids.
research The Immune Functions of Keratinocytes in Skin Wound Healing
Keratinocytes help heal skin wounds by interacting with immune cells and producing substances that kill pathogens.
research Increased Copy Number of the TERT and TERC Telomerase Subunit Genes in Cancer Cells
Cancer cells often have more copies of TERT and TERC genes, which helps them grow and could affect patient outcomes.
research WNT Signaling in Disease
The WNT signaling pathway is important in many diseases and targeting it could offer new treatments.
research Historical and Current Adenosine Receptor Agonists in Preclinical and Clinical Development
