Human hair keratin can help repair fat tissue.

In this study, mutations in the vitamin D receptor were identified in Brazilian children with rickets and alopecia, leading to impaired receptor activation and reduced 24-hydroxylase expression.

This study identified and characterized a murine type II hair keratin, demonstrating its presence in specific cells of hair and tongue tissues.

This study found that humanized mouse models expressing mutated or reduced levels of the vitamin D receptor were able to maintain normal mineral homeostasis and prevent typical symptoms of vitamin D resistance.

This article reviews the clinical aspects and potential mechanisms of chronic graft vs host disease skin manifestations, describing a novel form of premature skin aging, but presents no new research findings.

Fibroblasts from healthy donors can prevent changes seen in recessive epidermolysis bullosa simplex.

This study identified KLHL24 as a new gene linked to a subtype of epidermolysis bullosa simplex, highlighting its role in unresolved cases by involving a degradation-resistant truncated protein impacting keratin turnover.

In this study, homozygous VDR null mutant mice exhibited nonfunctional vitamin D receptors, leading to growth abnormalities and revealing the limited physiological importance of vitamin D pathways outside the classical receptor.

This study identified a new pathogenic variant, c.1081G>T; p.(Glu361*), in the KRT31 gene as a cause of autosomal-dominant monilethrix, highlighting the role of hair keratin proteins in hair and nail tissue disorders.

This article discusses quality control systems for graft preparation in hair restoration procedures at Bosley's surgical offices and does not present any new research findings.

This case study and literature review describe eruptive vellus hair cysts as uncommon, potentially inherited or acquired lesions, associated with other skin conditions, and challenging to treat despite being benign.

This discussion provides a historical overview of modern hair restoration surgery and proposes a standardized graft classification system, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that both the natural ligand 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) and the synthetic agonist LG190178 bind similarly to the vitamin D receptor's coregulator motifs, suggesting similar biological functions.

This study reported that mSKPs and DMSCs share similarities in biological characteristics but exhibit distinct transcriptome profiles, with mSKPs being more immune-related and DMSCs more associated with differentiation and disease pathways.

This abstract contains no research findings and pertains only to website navigation and policies.

This study identified a novel nonsense mutation in the VDR gene in two patients with hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets and alopecia, leading to resistance to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3.

In this study, PKC ε transgenic mice exposed to ultraviolet radiation showed increased hair follicle stem cell frequency and altered gene expression compared to wild-type mice, suggesting a potential role in skin cancer susceptibility.

This study demonstrated that a CNN-based model using VGG-16 architecture achieved a 94.5% accuracy in classifying ten types of hair diseases, implying a promising tool for aiding health professionals in diagnosing hair conditions accurately.

This study identified a distinct gene near the hairless locus on chromosome 8p that is responsible for hereditary Marie Unna type hypotrichosis in a German family.

This study identified the expression sites of five KAP5 genes on human chromosome 11q13.5 in scalp skin sections but did not explore their detailed distribution within hair follicles.

This study found that daily scalp massage with Bhringraj oil significantly reduced hair fall, dandruff, and itching in patients with diffuse hair loss over a four-week period, without any adverse reactions reported.

This study reported that anti-Ku-positive patients exhibited heterogeneous muscular features, primarily characterized by necrotizing fibers and vacuolar changes, and suggested that autophagy could be a significant mechanism involved in the pathogenesis.

This study found that among the two highly homologous K16 genes on chromosome 17, only one produced a functional protein due to stronger promoter activity.

In this case study, alopecia was observed as a possible side effect in a patient taking oral acyclovir for herpetic keratouveitis, which resolved after discontinuing the medication.

This study found that reduced cytokinin levels allow plants to adapt to low potassium conditions by enhancing root hair growth, reactive oxygen species accumulation, and expression of a key potassium transporter gene.

This report describes a case of epidermolytic hyperkeratosis in a newborn and her mother, both possessing a specific KRT1 gene mutation known to cause this skin disorder.

This study reported the development of reliable discriminative models using anthropometric and somatotypological indicators to classify Ukrainian women as typical for healthy individuals or those with urticaria, as well as distinguishing between mild or severe acute urticaria, with high accuracy in most cases.

This study found that vitamin D receptor expression is associated with proliferating keratinocytes, while retinoid X receptor α is linked to differentiating keratinocytes, suggesting differential targeting by vitamin D metabolites.

This study suggests that keratin 15 and Id3 proteins play distinct roles in epithelial and dermal cell activities during the regeneration stages of rat vibrissae hair follicles.

This study suggests that Rushton’s hyaline bodies form through both epithelial changes leading to hair keratin production and hemorrhage supplying erythrocytic substances, resolving previous debates about their origin.
