Resident human dermal γδT-cells operate as stress-sentinels: Lessons from the hair follicle
γδT-cells are unconventional T lymphocytes that are only sparsely found in blood and secondary lymphoid organs. Instead, they are enriched in barrier organs such as the skin and can respond to conserved self and non-self antigens to assist in tissue …
UDP-GlcNAc-1-phosphotransferase is a clinically important regulator of human and mouse hair pigmentation
Enzyme involved in lysosomal disorders has surprising role in hair pigmentation. The enzyme UDP-GlcNAc-1-Phosphotransferase (GNPTAB) is shown by the authors of a recent study to be a clinically important enzyme in the control of human hair pigmentation. GNPTAB is an …
