The Itpr3 gene causes a specific hair pattern in mice.
research Gene Therapy for Alopecia in Type II Rickets Model Rats Using Vitamin D Receptor-Expressing Adenovirus Vector
Gene therapy helped rats with a specific type of rickets grow hair without severe inflammation.
research No Evidence for THAP1/DYT6 Variants as Disease Modifiers in DYT1 Dystonia
THAP1 gene changes do not affect DYT1 dystonia; finasteride may help reduce tics and OCD in Tourette syndrome.
research Molecular and Spatial Design of Early Skin Development
The research reveals how early embryonic mouse skin develops from simple to complex structures, identifying various cell types and their roles in this process.
research The Vitamin D Receptor Is a Wnt Effector That Controls Hair Follicle Differentiation and Specifies Tumor Type in Adult Epidermis
Vitamin D receptor helps control hair growth and could be used to treat certain skin tumors.
research Spontaneous Tumor Regression in Keratoacanthomas Is Driven by Wnt/Retinoic Acid Signaling Cross-Talk
Skin tumor regression is helped by retinoic acid signaling blocking Wnt signaling.
research Identification of a Cyclosporine-Specific P450 Hydroxylase Gene Through Targeted Cytochrome P450 Complement Disruption in Sebekia Benihana
A gene in Sebekia benihana, CYP-sb21, is needed for a specific reaction on the drug Cyclosporine A, which could be important for hair growth without affecting the immune system.
research Mutant Laboratory Mice With Abnormalities in Hair Follicle Morphogenesis, Cycling, and Structure: An Update
The document concludes that mouse models are crucial for studying hair biology and that all mutant mice may have hair growth abnormalities that require detailed analysis to identify.
research The Investigation of the Possible Relationship Between Coxsackie Viruses and Pemphigus
No link found between Coxsackie viruses and pemphigus.
research Autoantigen Screening in C3H/HeJ Mouse Model of Alopecia Areata Revealed High Antigenicity of Melanocyte-Associated Antigen Epitopes
Melanocyte-associated antigens may play a key role in alopecia areata and could be targets for new treatments.
research Polyomavirus-Induced Pilomatricomas in Mice: From Viral Inoculation to Tumor Development
Polyomavirus A2 infection in newborn mice caused hair follicle tumors.
research A Molecular Wound Response Program Associated With Regeneration Initiation in Planarians
Planarian regeneration begins with a specific gene activation caused by injury, essential for healing and tissue regrowth.
research Dermal Papilla Cell Number Specifies Hair Size, Shape, and Cycling, and Its Reduction Causes Follicular Decline
More dermal papilla cells in hair follicles lead to larger, healthier hair, while fewer cells cause hair thinning and loss.
research Cis-Element and Transcriptome-Based Screening of Root Hair-Specific Genes and Their Functional Characterization in Arabidopsis
Researchers found 19 genes important for root hair growth in a plant called Arabidopsis.
research The Silver Locus Product (Silv/gp100/Pmel17) as a New Tool for the Analysis of Melanosome Transfer in Human Melanocyte–Keratinocyte Co-Culture
The new assay can track and measure melanosome transfer between skin cells, confirming filopodia's role in this process.
research Functional Identification of the Phosphorylation Sites of Arabidopsis PIN-FORMED3 for Its Subcellular Localization and Biological Role
Phosphorylation of certain parts of the PIN3 protein is crucial for its role in plant root growth and response to gravity.
research Candidate SNP Markers of Reproductive Potential Predicted by Significant Change in Affinity of TATA-Binding Protein for Human Gene Promoters
Certain genetic markers linked to reproductive potential were identified by their impact on a protein's ability to bind to genes.
research Gene Therapy: Recent Advances and Applications in Dermatology
Gene therapy shows promise for treating skin disorders and cancer, but faces technical challenges.
