Adults should not consume more than 255 micrograms of selenium per day to avoid risk of hair loss and other side effects.
research Inhibition of Mitochondrial Respiration Prevents BRAF-Mutant Melanoma Brain Metastasis
Stopping mitochondrial respiration can prevent brain cancer spread in skin cancer patients, and plant compound β-sitosterol could help achieve this.
research Topobiology of Human Pigmentation: P-Cadherin Selectively Stimulates Hair Follicle Melanogenesis
P-cadherin is crucial for hair follicle pigmentation but not skin pigmentation.
research Mutations in the Helix Termination Motif of Mouse Type I IRS Keratin Genes Impair the Assembly of Keratin Intermediate Filament
Mutations in specific keratin genes cause improper hair structure in mice due to faulty keratin protein assembly.
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 Epithelial Expression of the Hormone Leptin by Bovine Skin
Cattle skin has leptin which might control skin and hair growth.
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.
