Plakophilin 1 (PKP1) plays a crucial role in regulating innate immune responses in keratinocytes by sequestering specific dsRNA sensing DExD/H-box RNA helicases, thereby limiting their activation of the MDA5-MAVS signaling axis. This action prevents excessive activation of transcription factors IRF3 and NFκB, reducing the transcription of proinflammatory cytokines like IFN-β1, IL6, and TNFα. Upon dsRNA challenge, PKP1 undergoes proteasomal degradation, releasing the helicases to enable a rapid inflammatory response. PKP1 thus balances epidermal immune homeostasis by providing a barrier against harmful substances and suppressing excessive immune responses, with its loss leading to conditions like ectodermal dysplasia-skin fragility syndrome (EDSFS).
research Human Gene Correlation Analysis: A Tool for the Identification of Transcriptionally Co-Expressed Genes
The HGCA tool helps identify genes that work together by analyzing their co-expression patterns.
research Toll-Like Receptor 3 Agonist, Polyinosinic-Polycytidylic Acid, Upregulates Carbonic Anhydrase II in Human Keratinocytes
A substance called poly(I:C) increases a protein called carbonic anhydrase II in skin cells, which might help with skin defense and healing.
research SARS-CoV-2 Non-Structural Proteins and Their Roles in Host Immune Evasion
SARS-CoV-2 proteins help the virus avoid the immune system, delaying response and increasing inflammation.

Cold shock therapy may promote hair growth by stimulating follicular muscles and affecting stem cells. The exact mechanisms and full range of elements involved are not yet fully understood.
community Cold and Japanese researchers. The Japanese began to suspect something. But they understood the mechanism to some extent. ( Cold shock therapy promotes hair growth in association with upregulation of cold-inducible RNA-binding protein and vascular endothelial growth factor).
Cold shock therapy may promote hair growth, but cold alone is not effective. Combining treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, cold showers, spicy foods, and exercise may enhance results.
community Baldness Breakthrough: microRNA Stimulates Hair Growth in Aging Follicles
miR-205, a tiny RNA, can stimulate hair growth by softening aging hair follicle stem cells in mice. Future tests aim to see if this can work in humans.
community Since there is so much hype for cosmeRNA and HMI-115...
Exploring different treatments for hair loss, such as cosmeRNA and HMI-115 which are small interference messenger RNA that inhibits the DHT receptor and an antibody that binds to the prolactin (PRL) receptor respectively; and researching mechanism and environment of hyperresponders.
community Why does this industry still revolve around 5-AR inhibitors?
Hair loss treatments still rely heavily on minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841, with little innovation. Future treatments like stem cell therapy and RNA technology show promise but are not yet available.
