research Analysis of the FGF Gene Family Provides Insights into Aquatic Adaptation in Cetaceans
Whale genes show changes that help them live in water, like less hair and better flippers.
research Tracing Selection Signatures in the Pig Genome Provides Evidence for Selective Pressures on a Unique Curly Hair Phenotype in Mangalitza
Selective breeding caused the unique curly hair in Mangalitza pigs.
research Alopecia Areata Susceptibility Variant in MHC Region Impacts Expressions of Genes Contributing to Hair Keratinization and Is Involved in Hair Loss
A gene variant increases the risk of a type of hair loss by affecting hair protein production.
research Cultivation of Hair Matrix Cells from Cashmere Goat Skins and Exemplified Applications
Researchers found a way to grow cashmere goat hair cells in a lab and discovered that certain conditions improve these cells' growth and characteristics.
research OsPHR2 Is Involved in Phosphate-Starvation Signaling and Excessive Phosphate Accumulation in Shoots of Plants
OsPHR2 gene causes excessive phosphate in rice shoots, affecting plant growth and root development.
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 Endocrinology
The document concludes that inflammation markers can be used in diabetes, vitamin D3 affects immune pathways, hyperthyroidism changes hormone levels, androgen levels help diagnose Adrenocortical Carcinoma, erectile dysfunction is linked to diabetes, hypogonadism is common in HIV-infected males, and hormones can be biomarkers for various conditions.
research An Efficient, Non-Invasive Approach for In Vivo Sampling of Hair Follicles: Design and Applications in Monitoring DNA Damage and Aging
A new painless method to collect hair follicles helps study DNA damage and aging.
research Timing of Expression of the Core Clock Gene Bmal1 Influences Its Effects on Aging and Survival
The timing of when the gene Bmal1 is active affects aging and survival, with its absence during development, not adulthood, leading to premature aging.
research Whole-Genome Sequencing of Eight Goat Populations for the Detection of Selection Signatures Underlying Production and Adaptive Traits
Researchers identified genes linked to coat color, body size, cashmere production, and high altitude adaptation in goats.
research Comparison of the Therapeutic Effect of Allogeneic and Xenogeneic Small Extracellular Vesicles in Soft Tissue Repair
Both human and animal-derived small extracellular vesicles speed up skin healing equally well.
research The Opportunities and Challenges Regarding Induced Platelets from Human Pluripotent Stem Cells
Human pluripotent stem cells could be used to make platelets for medical use, but safety, effectiveness, and cost issues need to be resolved.
research Cloning, Computational Analysis and Expression Profiling of Steroid 5 Alpha-Reductase 1 (SRD5A1) Gene During Reproductive Phases and Ovatide Stimulation in Endangered Catfish, Clarias Magur
The research identified and described a gene important for hormone conversion in endangered catfish, which varies in activity during different reproductive stages and after hormone treatment.
research Hedgehog Signaling Reprograms Hair Follicle Niche Fibroblasts to a Hyper-Activated State
Overactivating Hedgehog signaling makes hair follicle cells in mice grow hair faster and create more follicles.
research Novel Insights Into the Pathways Regulating the Canine Hair Cycle and Their Deregulation in Alopecia X
The study concluded that similar pathways regulate hair growth in dogs and mice, and these pathways are disrupted in dogs with Alopecia X, affecting stem cells and hormone metabolism.
research Differential Molecular Signature of Dermal Papilla Cells from Balding and Non-Balding Scalp in 2D, 3D Culture and Co-Culture with Adipose-Derived Stem Cells
Dermal Papilla Cells grown in 3D and with stem cells better mimic natural hair growth conditions than cells grown in 2D.
research Exosomal MicroRNAs Derived from Dermal Papilla Cells Mediate Hair Follicle Stem Cell Proliferation and Differentiation
Exosomes from dermal papilla cells help hair growth by making hair follicle stem cells multiply and change.
research Specific Inhibition of FGF5-Induced Cell Proliferation by RNA Aptamers
RNA aptamers can specifically block FGF5-related cell growth, potentially treating related diseases or hair disorders.
research Self-Amplifying RNA Approach for Protein Replacement Therapy
Self-amplifying RNA could be a better option for protein replacement therapy with lower doses and lasting effects, but delivering it into cells is still challenging.
