research RSPO1-Mutated Keratinocytes From Palmoplantar Keratoderma Display Impaired Differentiation and Invasiveness: Implications for Squamous Cell Carcinoma Susceptibility in Patients With 46XX Disorder of Sexual Development
RSPO1 mutations in certain patients lead to skin cells that don't develop properly and are more likely to become invasive, increasing the risk of skin cancer.
research Stress-Sensing in the Human Greying Hair Follicle: Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated (ATM) Depletion in Hair Bulb Melanocytes in Canities-Prone Scalp
Hair greying is linked to reduced ATM protein in hair cells, which protects against stress and damage.
research Differential Expression of Keratin and Keratin Associated Proteins Are Linked with Hair Loss Condition in Spontaneously Mutated Inbred Mice
Abnormal gene expression related to keratin causes hair loss in certain mice.
research APCDD1 Is a Novel Wnt Inhibitor Mutated in Hereditary Hypotrichosis Simplex
A gene called APCDD1, which controls hair growth, is found to be faulty in a type of hair loss called hereditary hypotrichosis simplex.
research Differential Expression of Keratin and Keratin-Associated Proteins Linked with Hair Loss in Spontaneously Mutated Inbred Mice
Hair loss in certain mice is linked to changes in keratin-related genes.
research Skin Organoids Derived From NCSTN Mutated Patient-Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Recapitulate Hidradenitis Suppurativa Pathogenic Hallmarks
Skin organoids with NCSTN mutation show changes in hair follicle development and higher inflammation, key features of Hidradenitis Suppurativa.
research SRD5A3 Is Required for Converting Polyprenol to Dolichol and Is Mutated in a Congenital Glycosylation Disorder
Mutations in the SRD5A3 gene cause a new type of glycosylation disorder by blocking the production of a molecule necessary for protein glycosylation.
research Primary Generalized Glucocorticoid Resistance or Chrousos Syndrome: Allostasis Through a Mutated Glucocorticoid Receptor
Chrousos Syndrome is caused by mutations that make the body less sensitive to glucocorticoids, leading to various symptoms and requiring high-dose treatment.
research Pseudo Pemphigus Phenotypes in Mice with Inactivated Desmoglein 3
Mice with a mutated Dsg3 gene showed severe symptoms but not the typical blistering of pemphigus vulgaris.
research The Accelerated Aging Skin in Rhino-Like SHJHhr Mice
The SHJH hr mice with a mutated Hr gene show signs of faster skin aging due to poor antioxidative protection.
research An Epistatic Effect of KRT25 on SP6 Is Involved in Curly Coat in Horses
The genes KRT25 and SP6 affect curly hair in horses, with KRT25 also causing hair loss. If both genes are mutated, the horse gets curly hair and hair loss. KRT25 can hide the effect of SP6.
research The In Vitro Assembly of Hair Follicle Keratins: Comparison of Cortex and Companion Layer Keratins
Different conditions affect how hair proteins assemble, and certain mutations can change their structure.
research Abstracts from the 4th Annual Student Medical Summit
The document concludes that more research is needed to reduce frequent hospital visits, addiction medicine education improves with specific training, early breast cancer surgery findings are emerging, nipple smears are not very accurate, surgery for older melanoma patients doesn't extend life, a genetic condition in infants can often be treated with one drug, doctors are inconsistent with blood clot medication, a certain gene may protect against cell damage, muscle gene overexpression affects many other genes, and some mitochondrial genes are less active in mice with tumors.
research Modulation of Murine Hair Follicle Function by Alterations in Ornithine Decarboxylase Activity
Ornithine decarboxylase is crucial for hair growth regulation in mice.
research Impairment of Notch 1 Signaling Is a Common Defect in Lesions From Patients With Hidradenitis Suppurativa
Notch1 signaling is impaired in hidradenitis suppurativa, affecting skin and hair cells.
research Two Novel MBTPS2 Missense Mutations Impairing S2P Proteolytic Activity Lead to IFAP Syndrome With New Phenotypic Anomalies
New mutations in MBTPS2 reduce its function and cause IFAP syndrome with unusual symptoms.
research P120-Catenin Regulates Epidermal Inflammation in a Cadherin-Dependent Manner
p120-catenin helps control skin inflammation by regulating cadherin levels.
research A Direct Link Between Prss53, Hair Curvature, and Skeletal Dysplasia
The gene Prss53 affects hair shape and bone development in rabbits.
research Acne-Associated Syndromes: Models for Better Understanding of Acne Pathogenesis
The document concludes that certain genetic mutations and dietary factors are involved in acne development, and treatments like isotretinoin and diet changes can help manage it.
