In this study, single nucleotide polymorphisms in the RAB5B gene were linked to an increased risk of polycystic ovary syndrome and associated with specific microRNA binding sites.
research Regulatory T cells in dominant immunologic tolerance
Regulatory T cells help prevent autoimmunity and have potential for treating autoimmune diseases.
research MC4R variants rs12970134 and rs17782313 are associated with obese polycystic ovary syndrome patients in the Western region of Saudi Arabia
This study found that two MC4R gene polymorphisms are associated with higher BMI in women with PCOS in western Saudi Arabia, but are not linked to PCOS itself.
research Identification of 736T>A mutation of lipase H in Japanese siblings with autosomal recessive woolly hair
This study identified a specific LIPH gene mutation (736T>A) as common in Japanese patients with autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis, potentially indicating its role in the condition's manifestation within this population.
research Genomic Analysis of Trichotillomania
In this case-control study, researchers did not find genome-wide significant genetic variants for trichotillomania, but cases had higher polygenic risk for psychiatric disorders and certain neuropsychiatric-associated copy number variants.
research DcR3 reprograms macrophage plasticity to promote wound healing and hair regeneration
This study suggests that DcR3 can reprogram macrophages towards a reparative state, enhancing wound healing and hair follicle regeneration, making it a potential target for treating chronic wounds and alopecia.
research Clinicopathologic and molecular characterization of a series of sporadic trichoblastic neoplasms
This study examined 16 sporadic trichoblastic tumors and found that although one showed malignant transformation, clinical follow-up revealed no residual or metastatic disease. RNA sequencing indicated a high tumor mutational burden and absence of a UV-related signature, helping to distinguish these tumors from similar growths.
research A cluster of 21 keratin-associated protein genes within introns of another gene on human chromosome 21q22.3
In this study, researchers identified a cluster of hair-specific keratin-associated protein genes within the 21q22.3 region, revealing a novel transcription mechanism involving TSPEAR/C21orf29 that may bypass typical transcriptional termination sites.
research CBL1‐CIPK26‐mediated phosphorylation enhances activity of the NADPH oxidase RBOHC, but is dispensable for root hair growth
In this study, researchers identified the CBL1-CIPK26 Ca 2+ sensor-kinase complexes as key modulators of the NADPH oxidase RBOHC crucial for root hair differentiation in plants.
research News in brief
Scientists found key proteins and genes that affect skin and hair health, and identified potential new treatments for hair loss, skin disorders, and wound healing.
research Highly Conserved Keratin-Associated Protein 7-1 Gene in Yak, Taurine and Zebu Cattle
This study identified two single-nucleotide polymorphisms and three haplotypes in the KRTAP7-1 gene across yak, taurine, and zebu cattle, with the BOVIN-KRTAP7-1*A haplotype most prevalent.
research p75 Neurotrophin Receptor Antagonist Retards Apoptosis-driven Hair Follicle Involution (Catagen)
In this study, a synthetic antagonist of the p75 neurotrophin receptor was found to significantly inhibit hair follicle regression in murine skin cultures, suggesting a potential role in treating hair disorders characterized by premature catagen entry.
research Cellular localization of retinoic acid receptor-gamma expression in normal and neoplastic skin.
This study found that RAR-gamma 1 mRNA is present in multiple skin layers and structures, suggesting a role in maintaining and differentiating normal epidermis and skin appendages.
research Genomic Organization and Amplification of the Human Keratin 15 and Keratin 19 Genes
This study characterized the intron-exon organization of human keratin 15 and keratin 19 genes to aid future mutation detection analyses related to potential genetic disorders of keratinization.
research Optogenetically Controlled TrkA Activity Improves the Regenerative Capacity of Hair‐Follicle‐Derived Stem Cells to Differentiate into Neurons and Glia
This study found that using the OptoTrkA system to control TrkA activity with blue light enhanced proliferation, migration, and differentiation of hair-follicle-derived stem cells into neuronal and glial cells.
research The therapeutic potential of CRTH2/DP2 beyond allergy and asthma
This review discusses the potential roles of prostaglandin D2 and its receptor CRTH2 in various diseases beyond allergies and asthma and reports no new clinical results.
research Dynamic regulation of retinoic acid-binding proteins in developing, adult and neoplastic skin reveals roles for β-catenin and Notch signalling
This study found that cellular retinoic acid-binding proteins and fatty acid-binding proteins are dynamically expressed in skin development and respond differently to retinoic acid, β-catenin, and Notch signaling.
research Identifying the Target Cells and Mechanisms of Merkel Cell Polyomavirus Infection
In this study, human dermal fibroblasts were identified as natural host cells that support productive Merkel cell polyomavirus infection, and the MEK antagonist trametinib was introduced as an effective inhibitor to control the virus.
