RNAi-based biopesticides could be safe and effective for pest control with careful development and risk assessment.
research Biology of the Wool Follicle: An Excursion into a Unique Tissue Interaction System Waiting to Be Rediscovered
The article concludes that the wool follicle is a valuable model for studying tissue interactions and has potential for genetic improvements in wool production.
research Keratin Disorders: From Gene to Therapy
New treatments targeting specific genes show promise for treating keratin disorders.
research Ectopic Expression of the Nude Gene Induces Hyperproliferation and Defects in Differentiation: Implications for the Self-Renewal of Cutaneous Epithelia
The nude gene causes skin cell overgrowth and improper development, leading to hair and urinary issues.
research Organization and Expression of Hair Follicle Genes
Hair growth is controlled by specific gene clusters and proteins, and cysteine affects hair gene expression in sheep.
research CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ Regulatory Tregs Inhibit Fibrocyte Recruitment and Fibrosis via Suppression of FGF-9 Production in the TGF-β1 Exposed Murine Lung
Special immune cells called Tregs can help prevent lung scarring by blocking a specific growth factor.
research Body Composition Changes and Inhibition of Fat Development In Vivo Implicate Androgen in Regulation of Stem Cell Lineage Allocation
Androgen is important in controlling stem cell differentiation, reducing fat development, and increasing lean mass.
research Mouse Models for the Study of Human Hair Loss
Mice are useful for researching human hair loss and testing treatments, despite some differences between species.
research Parathyroid Hormone-Related Protein and the PTH Receptor Regulate Angiogenesis of the Skin
PTHrP and its receptor can control blood vessel growth and hair development in mouse skin.
research A Humanized Mouse Model of Hereditary 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D–Resistant Rickets Without Alopecia
Researchers created a mouse model of a type of rickets that does not cause hair loss.
research Morphogenesis and Maintenance of the 3D Thymic Medulla and Prevention of Nude Skin Phenotype Require FoxN1 in Pre- and Post-Natal K14 Epithelium

research Oil Body-Bound Oleosin-rhFGF-10: A Novel Drug Delivery System That Improves Skin Penetration to Accelerate Wound Healing and Hair Growth in Mice
A new drug delivery system using oil body-bound oleosin-rhFGF-10 improves wound healing and hair growth in mice.
research Cell Density-Dependent Upregulation of PDCD4 in Keratinocytes and Its Implications for Epidermal Homeostasis and Repair
PDCD4 is important for controlling skin cell growth and healing.
research Progranulin, A Secreted Tumorigenesis And Dementia-Related Factor, Regulates Mouse Hair Growth
Progranulin overexpression leads to shorter, thinner hair and increased cell death in mouse hair follicles.
research A Study of Patterns of Androgenetic Alopecia in Men: An Indian Perspective
Indian men have 62.1% hair loss, mostly grade II vertex, and less extensive than other populations.
research Transcriptome Analysis of Improved Wool Production in Skin-Specific Transgenic Sheep Overexpressing Ovine β-Catenin
Genetically modified sheep with more β-catenin grew more wool without changing the wool's length or thickness.
research Inducible, Reversible Hair Loss in Transgenic Mice
Scientists made a mouse that can be made to lose hair and then grow it back.
research Connexin 43 Expression in the Testes During Postnatal Development of Finasteride-Treated Male Rat Offspring
Finasteride treatment changes Cx43 in rat testes, possibly causing fertility issues.
research AP-2α/AP-2β Transcription Factors Are Key Regulators of Epidermal Homeostasis
AP-2α and AP-2β proteins are essential for healthy adult skin and hair.
research Dysregulation of Grainyhead-Like 3 Expression Causes Widespread Developmental Defects
Not having enough or having too much of the protein Grainyhead-like 3 leads to various developmental problems.
research Efficient Genome Editing Using CRISPR/Cas9 Ribonucleoprotein Approach in iPS Cells for Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa
Researchers fixed gene mutations causing a skin disease in stem cells, which then improved skin grafts in mice.

Activating Wnt in skin cells controls the number of hair follicles by directing cell movement and fate.
research Mature Adipocytes Inhibit the Antimicrobial Function of Dermal Adipogenic Stem Cells: An Explanation for Impaired Cutaneous Defense in Obesity
Obesity can weaken the skin's ability to fight infections because fat cells stop and reduce the infection-fighting properties of nearby stem cells.
research Transgenic Mice Display Hair Loss and Regrowth Overexpressing Mutant Hr Gene
Mice with a changed Hr gene lose and regrow hair due to changes in the gene's activity.
