In this study, microarray and proteomic analyses indicated that genes involved in immune response, receptor binding, and growth factor activity might influence wool fibre diameter in sheep.

This review discusses potential causes of alopecia and hair overgrowth in pediatric patients, detailing diagnostic techniques and treatments, but presents no new research findings.

This study reported discovering a novel missense variant in a case of autosomal recessive woolly hair in a 31-year-old Chinese woman, which significantly reduced secretion of the encoded protein, likely leading to disease by impairing its hydrolytic function.

This review summarizes recent discoveries of GPCRs for lysophosphatidylserine and lysophosphatidylinositol, detailing their roles as lipid mediators, but reports no new experimental results.

In this in silico study, researchers analyzed nonsynonymous SNPs in the LIPH gene linked to hypotrichosis and identified three potentially harmful variants (W108R, C246S, and H248N) out of 215 total, using sequence- and architecture-based bioinformatics techniques to differentiate between harmful and benign SNPs.

This review discusses the characteristics, extraction strategies, and potential applications of plant and algal lipid droplets but reports no new empirical findings.

This review discusses using human follicular fluid in metabolomic analysis as a diagnostic tool and predictor of success in assisted reproductive technology for PCOS patients, reporting no new results.

A specific gene mutation causes woolly hair and hair loss.

A mutation in the KRT74 gene causes tightly curled hair.

This review discusses the role of the endocannabinoid system in skin health and disease, highlighting its potential for future research and applications, but reports no new experimental results.

This study found that mice lacking sPLA2-IIE had distinct skin abnormalities, particularly affecting hair follicles, highlighting the differing roles of sPLA2 isoforms in mouse skin.

This review discusses the roles of various PLA2 enzymes in skin health and disease, highlighting potential pathways for future diagnosis and therapy, but it reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses how dysregulated levels of eicosanoids, which are metabolites of phospholipids, may contribute to skin diseases like psoriasis and atopic dermatitis, suggesting the importance of targeted eicosanoid control in diagnosis and treatment.

In this study, finasteride was found to reduce cholesterol levels and delay atherosclerosis in LDL receptor-deficient mice, and men using finasteride reported lower cholesterol levels, suggesting potential cardiovascular benefits by improving lipid profiles.

In this study, BP201, derived from porcine lung phospholipids, promoted hair growth in mice, especially when combined with minoxidil, and increased hair follicle numbers and dermal papilla cell proliferation.

In this study, a new emulsion containing CBD and ginger root extract significantly reduced symptoms of dry and eczema-prone skin, such as erythema and itching, in a clinical trial.

This case report describes a rare genetic mutation causing congenital hypotrichosis, where a 2-year-old girl showed some improvement in hair growth with topical minoxidil treatment, supporting its potential use for this condition.

This review discusses the role of acyl-CoA binding protein (ACBP) in the epidermal barrier, noting that its disruption in mice is linked to skin and fur abnormalities; it reports no new clinical results.

This study identified N-acyl arylsulfonamides, particularly N-(Boc-piperidine-4-carbonyl)-benzenesulfonamides, as steroid sulfatase inhibitors with improved cellular potency compared to previous compounds.

In this study, Far2-/- mice were observed to develop focal alopecia with altered sebaceous gland morphology and lower skin lipid levels compared to wildtype mice.

This study found that SRD5a-3 is a highly efficient enzyme for converting hormones into androgens, with dutasteride being a much more potent inhibitor of SRD5a-3 than SRD5a-2.

This study found that the hair interior defect in AKR/J mice is linked to a mutation in the Soat1 gene, which disrupts SOAT1 protein expression and affects lipid metabolism critical for normal hair formation.

This article reviews the therapeutic use of carnitine derivatives for re-establishing mitochondrial functionality in aging and reports no new clinical results.

In this study, researchers observed that dandruff involves altered keratinocyte activity and a low-grade inflammatory response characterized by increased interleukin-17-producing T-cells and CCL17 levels, but without significant changes in immune cell populations or skin barrier lipids.

This study found that the acyl-CoA binding protein is essential for the production of very long chain free fatty acids in the stratum corneum and maintaining normal epidermal barrier function in mice.

Mutations in Far2 mice cause hair loss due to sebaceous gland issues.

This study reports new fluorogenic ceramidase substrates and highlights RBM14C24:1 as an efficient substrate for neutral ceramidase, while RBM15C18:1 is the best probe for measuring ACER1 and ACER2 activities, potentially aiding high-throughput screening for ceramidase inhibitors.

This review discusses the acyl-CoA synthetase very-long-chain (ACSVL) enzyme family, including its biochemical characteristics, tissue expression, and involvement in lipid metabolism, but presents no new experimental results.

This study demonstrates that human skin is capable of steroid hormone synthesis, but its role in androgenic skin disorders like acne and alopecia is yet to be clarified.

This study reports that 2-(1-Adamantyl)-4H-thiochromen-4-on-6-O-sulfamate is the most potent steroid sulfatase inhibitor identified so far, exhibiting 170-fold higher activity than the lead compound estrone sulfamate.
