This study identified ABCB6 as the first gene linked to dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria (DUH) in a large Chinese family, suggesting it plays a role in skin pigmentation.

This review describes the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of adrenomyeloneuropathy, including rehabilitative therapies and spasticity management, and reports no new clinical results.

New ABCA12 gene mutations were linked to a skin condition with scaling and hair loss, and a treatment helped with hair loss in a related case.

This report identified three novel genetic mutations associated with congenital ichthyosis in Italian newborns and emphasized the importance of next-generation sequencing for personalized patient management.

This study identified 11 previously unreported ABCA12 variants associated with varying severities of autosomal recessive congenital ichthyoses and expanded the phenotype spectrum of ichthyosis linked to these variants.

This study found various ABC transporters are transcribed in human hair follicles, suggesting their possible role in HF biology and potential for new therapeutic interventions.

Chemotherapy patients don't all lose their hair due to factors like hair growth rates, age, genetics, and the type of drugs used.

This review discusses the common occurrence of docetaxel-induced hair loss in cancer patients, including permanent cases, and highlights current and experimental strategies like scalp cooling, minoxidil, and new clinical trials for managing and preventing this side effect.

This study identified novel genetic associations with skin phenotypes such as age-spots, freckles, and hair characteristics in Japanese women, providing insights into the genetic basis of these traits.

In this study, human hair follicles showed varying expression of cholesterol transport proteins during the hair cycle, suggesting a potential role of cholesterol in hair growth and cycling.

This study found that hair follicles play a significant role in regulating skin barrier function, with disruptions in the upper hair follicle affecting the epidermis, influencing processes like desquamation and sebum release, and leading to cell movement into the epidermis.

This study identified a new clinical variant of adult adrenomyeloneuropathy characterized by hypoplasia and agenesis of the corpus callosum, associated with a novel ABCD1 gene mutation.

In this mouse study, researchers found that the Jieduquyuziyin prescription may lessen lupus-like symptoms and atherosclerosis by inhibiting TLR9/MyD88 signaling and promoting cholesterol efflux.

Men with Addison disease should be screened for X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy if they have hair loss.

This case report describes a 57-year-old man's late diagnosis of X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy, highlighting the need to consider this condition in patients with non-autoimmune primary adrenal insufficiency and neurological issues.

This literature review reports that mutations in the SASH1 gene are linked to different pigmentation disorders, including dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria and lentiginosis. It further suggests SASH1's significant role in melanocyte processes and its potential as a target for developing treatments for these conditions.

This study explored the molecular biology of skin adaptations in pangolins, revealing that certain genes for lipid synthesis have inactive patterns, while others related to skin function remain intact, suggesting complex evolutionary changes in their skin physiology.

This study investigated pangolin skin genetics, finding that while sweat gland-related genes are not inactivated, several genes related to sebaceous gland function are, which highlights complex evolutionary adaptations in mammalian skin.

Hair follicles are crucial for maintaining skin barrier function.

This study found that Nubian ibex have developed genetic adaptations in response to their desert environment, including enhanced skin barrier, DNA repair, viral response, and metabolism of toxic compounds.

This study found that matrix progenitor cell differentiation in hair growth has distinct early and late phases, and generated a mouse model to explore the hair follicle's role in harlequin ichthyosis.

In this study, researchers observed that TLR3 and scavenger receptors play key roles in skin barrier repair following UVB damage, contributing to our understanding of cellular responses to skin injury.
