New research has found 14 genes linked to the risk of developing alopecia areata, improving understanding and treatment options.
research Implication of MicroRNA Regulation in Para-Phenylenediamine-Induced Cell Death and Senescence in Normal Human Hair Dermal Papilla Cells
Hair dye ingredient PPD causes cell death and aging in human hair cells by altering microRNA levels.
research How Our Microbiome Influences the Pathogenesis of Alopecia Areata
Our microbiome may affect the development of the hair loss condition Alopecia Areata, but more research is needed to understand this relationship.
research Abnormal Fingerprints and Immigration Delay Disease
Many adult women experience unexplained excessive hair shedding, often starting before age 40.
research Hair Shedding in Women: A Study on Frequency and Causes
About 30% of women feel they lose too much hair, often starting before age 40, and most can't find a reason for it.
research Epigenetic Control of Adult Stem Cell Function
Epigenetic changes control how adult stem cells work and can lead to diseases like cancer if they go wrong.
research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
research Differences in Reproductive Toxicology Between Alopecia Drugs: An Analysis on Adverse Events Among Female and Male Cases
Finasteride has a higher risk of reproductive side effects than minoxidil.
research Sterol Intermediates of Cholesterol Biosynthesis Inhibit Hair Growth and Trigger an Innate Immune Response in Cicatricial Alopecia
Cholesterol-related compounds can stop hair growth and cause inflammation in a type of scarring hair loss.
research Single-Cell Transcriptomics Reveals Lineage Trajectory of Human Scalp Hair Follicle and Informs Mechanisms of Hair Graying
The study found new details about human hair growth and suggests that preventing a specific biological pathway could potentially treat hair graying.
research Identifying Molecular Targets for Reverse Aging Using Integrated Network Analysis of Transcriptomic and Epigenomic Changes During Aging
Curcumin may help reverse aging by targeting specific genes.
research The Pioneer Factor SOX9 Competes for Epigenetic Factors to Switch Stem Cell Fates
SOX9 helps determine stem cell roles by interacting with DNA and proteins that control gene activity.
research Abstracts
The document reports findings on genetic research, including ethical concerns about genome editing, improved diagnosis of mitochondrial mutations, solving inherited eye diseases, confirming gene roles in epilepsy, linking a gene to aneurysms, and identifying genes associated with age-related macular degeneration.
research Unlocking the Genetic Secrets of Dorper Sheep: Insights Into Wool Shedding and Hair Follicle Development
This study explores the genetic mechanisms behind wool shedding and hair follicle development in Dorper sheep, known for their natural wool shedding. Researchers conducted transcriptome analysis on skin tissues from adult Dorper ewes, identifying thousands of differentially expressed transcripts and key signaling pathways such as Rap1, estrogen, PI3K-Akt, and MAPK involved in hair follicle development. Core genes like DBI, FZD3, KRT17, ZDHHC21, TMEM79, and HOXC13 were found to be influential. The study also highlights the role of alternative splicing, particularly the isoforms of ZDHHC21, in hair follicle development. These findings provide insights into the genetic basis of hair follicle development in sheep and have potential implications for understanding human hair growth.
research The Rho GTPase Exchange Factor Vav2 Promotes Extensive Age-Dependent Rewiring of the Hair Follicle Stem Cell Transcriptome
Vav2 changes how hair follicle stem cells' genes work as they age, which might improve regeneration but also raise cancer risk.
research All Roads Lead to the Nucleus: Integration of Signaling, Transcription Factor-Mediated, and Epigenetic Regulatory Mechanisms in the Control of Skin Development and Regeneration
The nucleus is key in controlling skin growth and repair by coordinating signals, gene regulators, and epigenetic changes.
research The Developmental Basis of Fingerprint Pattern Formation and Variation
Fingerprints form uniquely before birth due to specific genetic pathways and local signals.
research Wound Regeneration Deficit in Rats Correlates with Low Morphogenetic Potential and Distinct Transcriptome Profile of Epidermis
Rats can't grow new hair follicles after skin wounds, unlike mice, due to differences in gene expression and response to WNT signaling.
research Pili Torti: A Feature of Numerous Congenital and Acquired Conditions
Pili torti is a rare condition where hair is twisted and breaks easily, often linked to genetic disorders or other health issues.
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.
