This case report documents the first known instance of FOXN1 duplication linked to congenital hypertrichosis.

This study identified that in Japanese patients with autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis, the c.736T > A LIPH mutation is associated with a mild phenotype, while the c.742C > A mutation may lead to severe baldness.

This study suggests that m6A-circHECA may influence the physiology of cashmere goats' SHFs both through miRNA pathways and interactions with target proteins, with promoter methylation potentially inhibiting its gene expression.

This study found that erythrocytes can be generated from human hair follicle mesenchymal stem cells with OCT4 expression, potentially serving as an alternative source for transfusions.

Adding human hair to cement can make it tougher and better insulated but also more porous.

This study successfully developed and characterized a monospecific monoclonal antibody, LHTric-1, that specifically localizes to the pre-cortical region of the hair follicle and can aid research on hair and nail formation.

This study found that expanding hair follicle keratinocytes with a fibroblast feeder followed by short-term coculture with dermal papilla cells could restore their ability to form new hair follicles.

In this study, the researchers observed that higher expression of the Sonic hedgehog gene in cashmere goats' hair follicle cycles is associated with increased cell proliferation and reduced apoptosis, suggesting its role in enhancing cashmere quality.

This study found that overexpression of the FA2H gene in cashmere goats' hair follicle cells may enhance hair proliferation and regulate genes affecting cashmere fineness.

This study identified two types of hard alpha-keratin filament assemblies in developing human hair follicles, which may help investigate the structural framework of mammalian keratin appendages.

This study describes a patient with hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets (HVDRR) who, despite having a truncated vitamin D receptor, did not exhibit typical hair or skin abnormalities, suggesting possible compensation via interactions with other proteins.

Mouse hair cells respond to male hormones by growing less, and this can be stopped by certain blockers.

Scientists made glow-in-the-dark dots from human hair that can detect iron, prevent counterfeiting, and reveal fingerprints.

This article presents a comprehensive guide for classifying human hair follicle cycle stages in vivo using scalp xenografts on immunocompromised mice, offering valuable resources for researchers in the field.

Hoxc13 is important for hair and tongue development by controlling hair keratin genes.

This study in hairless rats suggests that the deletion of specific hair keratin genes contributes to hypotrichosis and highlights the strain's potential as a model for hair follicle research.

This study found that targeting HSP70 can suppress basal cell carcinoma growth, underscoring the importance of tumor microenvironment interactions in cancer progression.

This study used phase contrast hard x-ray microscopy to capture detailed images of healthy human hair, revealing distinct structures such as the medulla, cortex, and cuticular layer.

This study found that combining human dermal papilla fibroblasts with hair matrix cells formed organoids capable of limited hair follicle development in ex vivo skin, but not fully formed hair follicles.

This study found that coculturing human hair follicle keratinocyte stem cells with dermal papilla cells increased expression of the hair-specific keratin 6hf gene, which requires β-catenin/lef-1 signaling for hair differentiation.

This study reports that high-purity rHFSCs with strong proliferation and high VEGF165 expression can be efficiently obtained, facilitating tissue engineering applications like artificial hair follicles and skin construction.

In this study, inactivating the TAF4 subunit of transcription factor TFIID in mouse epidermis disrupted gene expression linked to skin and hair function, and increased tumor risk.

This study found that the protein hairless acts as both a corepressor and coactivator of the vitamin D receptor, influencing gene transcription in a ligand-selective manner.

This study identified a cluster of genes on chromosome 17 related to hair keratin-associated proteins, including 37 genes forming seven multigene families, localized in the hair shaft's upper cortex.

Intense pulsed light with radiofrequency showed mixed results in improving quality of life for hidradenitis suppurativa patients, with no clinical improvements.

This study cataloged human type II hair keratins, detailing their expression and differentiation roles in hair follicles and comparing them with type I keratins to explore keratin-pairing principles.

This study demonstrated that enhancing human skin constructs with hair follicles through engineered cell organization and vascularization improved hair growth in immunodeficient mice, suggesting potential advances for treating alopecia and chronic wounds.

This study reported that Indian hedgehog (Ihh) signaling plays a crucial role in regulating tumor progression and metastasis in epithelial cancers, with Ihh deficiency leading to increased malignancy and metastasis in mice.

This study identified a novel V26M mutation in the vitamin D receptor as the cause of hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets in a patient, characterized by severe rickets and an unusual pattern of alopecia.

This study observed that mice with a whole-body deficiency of Cystathionine-β-synthase developed severe hyperhomocysteinemia and related mild symptoms without increased mortality, indicating HHCy may not directly cause end organ damage.
