research Modulation of Murine Hair Follicle Function by Alterations in Ornithine Decarboxylase Activity
The study investigated the role of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) in hair follicle function using transgenic mice that overexpressed a mutated ODC transgene in hair follicle keratinocytes. These mice experienced normal initial hair growth but lost their hair completely 2-3 weeks after birth, coinciding with the onset of ODC overexpression and the development of follicular cysts. The study found that the ODC inhibitor 2-difluoromethylornithine could prevent hair loss and partially restore normal skin histology if administered early, and it could also reactivate hair growth in mice with complete hair loss. The results suggested that ODC played a crucial regulatory role in mouse hair follicles.
research Inductive Properties of Hair Follicle Cells
Hair growth can be induced by certain cells found at the base of hair follicles, and these cells may also influence hair development and regeneration.

research Therapeutics for COVID-19 and Post COVID-19 Complications: An Update
New treatments for COVID-19 show promise, but more effective antiviral drugs are needed.
research Ornithine Decarboxylase Expression Leads to Translocation and Activation of Protein Kinase CK2 In Vivo
The study explored the impact of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) overexpression on protein kinase CK2 activity in Balb/MK cells and K6/ODC transgenic mice, revealing that increased ODC expression elevated polyamine levels, which enhanced CK2 activity and caused its translocation to the nucleus. This suggested that polyamines regulated CK2 by affecting its distribution and activity, potentially contributing to tumor development. The use of an ODC inhibitor reduced polyamine levels and CK2 activity, supporting the regulatory role of polyamines. Despite increased CK2 protein levels, the rise in enzyme activity was modest, indicating a complex relationship between protein levels and activity.
research Pitx2, A β-Catenin-Regulated Transcription Factor, Regulates The Differentiation Of Outer Root Sheath Cells Cultured In Vitro
