This study found that VR1 activation in human hair follicles inhibited hair growth by suppressing proliferation and promoting apoptosis, suggesting VR1 plays an important role in hair growth regulation.

This study reports that Lef1 plays a crucial role in promoting bulge stem cell differentiation towards hair fate by activating β-catenin and downstream signaling pathways during hair follicle development.

In this study, researchers identified a recurrent MBTPS2 splice-site variant as a mutational hotspot in IFAP syndrome across diverse families, with phenotype severity suggesting the influence of additional modifiers.

This study suggests that an in ovo injection of CHIR-99021 promoted feather growth and follicle development in goose embryos by activating the Wnt signaling pathway.

This study found that manipulating AKR1D1 expression in human liver cells effectively regulates glucocorticoid clearance and receptor activation, highlighting its role in liver-specific steroid hormone regulation.

This study found that the ARL15 gene affects adipocyte differentiation and adiponectin secretion, and suggests that ARL15 haploinsufficiency may predispose individuals to lipodystrophy.

This study found that a phosphorus starvation-insensitive mutant of Arabidopsis thaliana shows altered root growth and auxin responses under low phosphate conditions compared to wild-type plants, suggesting a role for LPR1 in regulating these traits.

This study found that blocking LFA-1 signaling completely prevented the development of alopecia areata in C3H/HeJ mice, suggesting that LFA-1 plays a crucial role in the disease's pathogenesis and could be a target for new therapies.

This study found that 17β-estradiol was the most powerful hormone for inducing APE1/Ref-1 secretion in cultured vascular endothelial cells, with secretion occurring through exosomes dependent on estrogen receptors and intracellular calcium.

This review discusses the human Nude/SCID phenotype and FOXN1 gene's role in immunological disorders affecting T-cell development but reports no new clinical findings.

A new genetic mutation in mice causes permanent hair loss and skin wrinkling.

This study found that mutations in the Foxn1 gene in nude mice affect not only hair but also nail structure and differentiation, offering insights into nail hypergranulosis pathogenesis relevant to human nail diseases.

This study found that Twist1 and Tcf4 synergistically regulate the hair follicle induction ability of dermal papilla cells by forming a complex with β-catenin, enhancing their biological properties.

This study found that the AR-E211 A allele is associated with a lower risk of both metastatic prostate cancer and androgenetic alopecia in an Australian population.

This article discusses Fluxactive Complete, a natural supplement for prostate health, and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that the Arabidopsis thaliana protein Formin 2 localizes to plasmodesmata and is crucial for regulating their permeability by anchoring actin filaments, which affects virus susceptibility.

This study found that epidermal-specific deletion of integrin α3β1 significantly reduces papilloma formation in a skin carcinogenesis model by modulating HB stem cell behavior and CCN2 expression.

This study identified "HTLV-1-associated lichenoid dermatitis" as a skin condition in HTLV-1-infected individuals, characterized by reactive eruptions associated with increased immunity toward infected CD4+ T cells.

This study reports that the same androgen receptor gene mutation within a family can lead to both complete and partial androgen insensitivity syndromes, suggesting that genetic defects alone may not predict clinical phenotype.

In this study, researchers found that recombinant human HAPLN1 promoted hair growth in mice and human hair matrix cells by activating specific signaling pathways, suggesting it may offer a potential hair loss treatment with fewer side effects than existing medications.

Genetic defects in the Wnt/PCP pathway may cause congenital yellow nail syndrome.

This case report documents the first confirmed mutation-proved instance of Clouston syndrome in a large Chinese-Malaysian family, linked to the c.263C>T (A88V) mutation in the GJB6 gene, with no available treatment but highlighting the importance of genetic counseling.

This study found that CTHRC1 is crucial for sweat gland function and vascular network integrity in mice, and its administration improved sweat gland performance by reconstructing nearby blood vessels.

This study found that BRG1 is crucial for keratinocyte migration during skin wound healing, as its suppression impairs wound closure by inhibiting migration without affecting cell proliferation or apoptosis.

This study found no significant difference in CAG repeat numbers of the androgen receptor gene between Han Chinese women with female pattern hair loss and healthy controls, suggesting it may not be a genetic marker for FPHL in this population.

This study identified a nonsense mutation in the zinc-finger domain of the hairless gene associated with congenital atrichia in a Japanese family, indicating a potential genetic cause for this rare form of alopecia.

In their research, Yucel and colleagues found that CaV1.2 is expressed in hair follicle stem cells, facilitating anagen re-entry in a way not dependent on calcium flux.

EBF1 controls hair type and length.

This study found that GPC1 is a key regulator of angiogenesis in human dermal microvascular endothelial cells, influenced by factors secreted by keratinocytes, and may be a target for alopecia treatment research.

This case report identifies a novel AR gene mutation in an adolescent with primary amenorrhea, suggesting that CAIS should be considered when evaluating patients with a female phenotype and breast development.
