Pyrene excimer nucleic acid probes are promising for detecting biomolecules accurately with potential for biological research and drug screening.
research Knock-Down of Arabidopsis PLC5 Reduces Primary Root Growth and Secondary Root Formation While Overexpression Improves Drought Tolerance and Causes Stunted Root Hair Growth
Changing the amount of PLC5 in Arabidopsis affects root growth and drought resistance, with less PLC5 slowing root growth and more PLC5 improving drought tolerance but hindering root hair growth.
research The Mesenchymal Niche of the Hair Follicle Induces Regeneration by Releasing Primed Progenitors from Inhibitory Effects of Quiescent Stem Cells
The study found that a specific area of the hair follicle helps start hair growth by reducing the blocking effects on certain cells and controlling growth signals.
research Characterization and Chromosomal Localization of Human Hair-Specific Keratin Genes and Comparative Expression During the Hair Growth Cycle
Two specific hair keratin genes are active during hair growth and decline as hair transitions to rest.
research Expression Profiling and Cellular Localization of Genes Associated with the Hair Cycle Induced by Wax Depilation
Researchers found new genes involved in hair growth, which could help develop new hair treatments.
research A Role for the TGF-β/BMP Co-Receptor Endoglin in the Molecular Oscillator That Regulates the Hair Follicle Cycle
Endoglin is crucial for proper hair growth cycles and stem cell activation in mice.
research Telomere Dysfunction Impairs Epidermal Stem Cell Specification and Differentiation by Disrupting BMP/pSmad/P63 Signaling
Telomere damage affects skin and hair follicle stem cells by messing up important growth signals.
