摘要:
The invention provides methods of evaluating a treatment for its effect on skin. The invention also provides non-human transgenic animals, e.g., mice, having a reporter gene coupled to a skin-metabolism promoter.

摘要:
The invention features methods of promoting hair growth in a subject. The methods include inducing or mimicking the effects of Wnt promoted signal transduction, e.g., by increasing the level of Wnt protein or administering an agent which mimics an effect of Wnt promoted signal transduction, e.g., by administering lithium chloride. Methods of inhibiting hair growth are also provided.

摘要:
The present invention provides a method of producing a cell mass capable of serving as a primitive organ-like structure comprised of a plurality of somatic cell types of somatic origin, comprising: preparing cultures containing the plurality of types of somatic cells; mixing the plurality of types of somatic cell cultures followed by adding a Wnt signal activator to the mixed cell culture; subjecting the culture containing the Wnt signal activator to non-plate contact culturing over a predetermined time period; and replacing the medium of the culture cultured by the non-plate contact culturing with medium not containing Wnt signal activator and further culturing for a predetermined time period; wherein, at least one type of the plurality of somatic cells is maintained in an undifferentiated state.
摘要:
The present invention provides a skin test method for predicting the formation of spots in the skin. This method is characterized by judging skin to be susceptible to spot formation in the case expression of genes consisting of MLSTD1, MOGAT1, FADS2, FADS1, HSD3B1, ELOVL3, BG1, PECR, FABP7, FA2H, HAO2, ALOX15B, PDE6A, LZTS1, SEC14L4, BAMBI, CIDEA, TERE1, GAL, THRSP, INSIG1 or CUTL2 in the epidermis is accelerated, or the expression of genes consisting of RBBP6, MSMB, WIF1, ANKRD12, FLG, SYNE2, SCEL, NKTR or AMBP in the epidermis is decreased as compared with normal expression in the epidermis.
