research Fadrozole And Finasteride Exposures Modulate Sex Steroid- And Thyroid Hormone-Related Gene Expression In Silurana (Xenopus) Tropicalis Early Larval Development
Fadrozole and finasteride change gene expression related to sex hormones and thyroid hormones in frog larvae development.
research Exposure of Xenopus Laevis Tadpoles to Finasteride, an Inhibitor of 5-Alpha Reductase Activity, Impairs Spermatogenesis and Alters Hypophyseal Feedback Mechanisms
Finasteride exposure harms tadpole reproduction and hormone balance.
research Role of FOXN1 in Xenopus Laevis Thymopoiesis
FOXN1 is crucial for thymus development and immune response in Xenopus laevis.
research Effects of Dobutamine on Cyclic AMP Accumulation Induced by the Stimulation of Dopamine Receptors in Rabbit Retina In Vitro
Dobutamine does not mimic dopamine at therapeutic doses but may at very high concentrations; microfilaments, not microtubules, are important for wound healing in Xenopus embryos.
research Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone Promotes Wound Re-Epithelialisation in Frog and Human Skin
Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone helps heal wounds in frog and human skin.
research Deletion of Hoxc13 in Frogs Reveals Key Steps in the Molecular Evolution of Cornified Skin Appendages
Deleting the Hoxc13 gene in frogs shows its crucial role in developing skin structures similar to hair.
research The Organizer And Beyond
Cells from certain embryo parts can induce head formation in another embryo, involving complex signaling pathways.
research Nerve Dependence in Tissue, Organ, and Appendage Regeneration
Nerves are crucial for the regeneration of various body parts in many animals.
research Graying of Hair Produced by Ingestion of Phenylthiocarbamide
Eating phenylthiocarbamide made all the rats' hair go gray, but some returned to their original color after stopping.
research Identification and Characterization of an Antisense RNA Transcript (GFG) from the Human Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor Gene
Researchers found an RNA transcript that might help control a growth factor linked to tumor development.
research Three-Dimensional Imaging of Tight Junction Network Across Multiple Layers of Human Epidermis by Array Tomography Using Backscattered Electron-Mode Scanning Electron Microscopy
The study found that tight junctions reach the top layer of the skin's stratum granulosum, not just the second top layer as previously thought.
research Nociceptive and Non-Nociceptive Roles of TRPV3 and Its Druggability
TRPV3 could be a target for treating pain, skin disorders, and hair problems, but more research is needed to create effective drugs.
research APCDD1 Is a Novel Wnt Inhibitor Mutated in Hereditary Hypotrichosis Simplex
A gene called APCDD1, which controls hair growth, is found to be faulty in a type of hair loss called hereditary hypotrichosis simplex.
