research NF-κB in Biology and Targeted Therapy: New Insights and Translational Implications
NF-κB signaling is crucial in many diseases and can be targeted for new treatments.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
research Vitamin D: More Than a Bona Fide Hormone
Vitamin D is important for bones, hair, blood pressure, and breast development.
research A Novel Point Mutation in the Ligand-Binding Domain of the Human Glucocorticoid Receptor Causing Generalized Glucocorticoid Resistance: The Importance of the C Terminus in Conferring Transactivational Activity
A new mutation in the human glucocorticoid receptor reduces its function and causes resistance to glucocorticoids.
research Physiological Functions of PP2A: Lessons from Genetically Modified Mice
Mice studies show that Protein Phosphatase 2A is crucial for cell growth, development, and disease prevention.
research Modulation of Glucocorticoid Action and the Treatment of Type-2 Diabetes
Targeting glucocorticoid action might help treat type-2 diabetes, but human trials are needed.
research Expression and Function of Nuclear Receptor Co-Activator 4: Evidence of a Potential Role Independent of Co-Activator Activity
NcoA4 may have roles beyond helping control gene activity, possibly affecting cell behavior and stability.
research Fibroblasts: Origins, Definitions, and Functions in Health and Disease

research Rosmarinus Officinalis and Skin: Antioxidant Activity and Possible Therapeutic Role in Cutaneous Diseases
Rosemary may help treat various skin conditions due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
research Targeting the Hippo/YAP/TAZ Signalling Pathway: Novel Opportunities for Therapeutic Interventions into Skin Cancers
Blocking YAP/TAZ could be a new way to treat skin cancer.
research Skin Cancer: Understanding the Transformation from Conventional to Advanced Treatment Approaches
New treatments like nanotechnology show promise in improving skin cancer therapy.
research Skin-Specific Expression of a Truncated E1a Oncoprotein Binding to p105-Rb Leads to Abnormal Hair Follicle Maturation Without Increased Epidermal Proliferation
In this study, researchers investigated the effects of a mutant Adenovirus E1a oncoprotein, NTdl646, on keratinocyte growth and differentiation in transgenic mice. The protein was expressed specifically in the skin using a keratin 5 promoter, resulting in two lines of mice with abnormal hair phenotypes, including short, crooked hair shafts and dystrophic or absent inner root sheaths. Despite these hair follicle maturation disturbances, the interfollicular epidermis remained normal, and there was no increase in spontaneous or chemically induced skin tumors. The study concluded that while the transgene disrupted keratinocyte maturation, it did not lead to increased epidermal proliferation or neoplastic growth.
research NDRG1 Regulates Proliferation of Endothelial Cells of Infantile Hemangioma
NDRG1 protein helps infantile hemangioma, a common infant tumor, to grow, and its mismanagement by FOXO1 protein plays a big role in causing the tumor.
research The Role of Histone Demethylases in Disease
Histone demethylases play a key role in the development of many diseases and may be targets for treatment.
