Genetic testing for hairless gene mutations is crucial to correctly diagnose and treat atrichia with papular lesions.

IL-13 protein is much higher in the skin of atopic dermatitis patients than in healthy skin.

This study identified two major antibody-binding sites on tyrosine hydroxylase in vitiligo and alopecia areata patients, suggesting that their immune response is heterogeneous and can target multiple epitopes.

In this study, researchers confirmed linkage of a form of hair-nail ectodermal dysplasia to chromosome 12 in a Pakistani family, suggesting a possible non-coding mutation in KRTHB5 or a mutation in an unknown gene.

This study identified a specific LIPH gene mutation (736T>A) as common in Japanese patients with autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis, potentially indicating its role in the condition's manifestation within this population.

Human hair follicles have their own thyroid hormone system.

This article reviews the structure and regulation of the ITGB6 gene and discusses its role in integrin αvβ6 expression, with no new experimental results reported.

This case report details a 13-year-old Thai boy with Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome, who presented with cardiovascular complications, including coronary artery calcification and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.

This article discusses the history and understanding of Tay syndrome, recognizing it as a distinct condition related to ichthyotic erythroderma, mental retardation, and brittle hair but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the molecular mechanisms and clinical applications of thymosin β4, highlighting its potential benefits for inflammation, wound healing, tumor metastasis, and other medical conditions but reports no new experimental results.

This study on Antirrhinum trichomes found that stickiness in A. hispanicum is due to a recessive allele and mapped it to a specific region on Chromosome 1, while baldness in A. siculum likely involves a novel hairy allele.

This study reports the cloning and sequencing of two type II hair-specific keratin genes, ghHb1 and ghHb6, located on chromosome 12q13, which are expressed during hair growth.

This study found that HtrA2 inactivation in mnd2 mice is associated with delayed hair cycle phases and growth retardation of adipocytes, suggesting HtrA2's role in regulating adipogenesis-related hair growth.

This study observed a strong negative association between the HLA-DQB1*0201 allele and the alopecia totalis/alopecia universalis phenotype in Caucasian individuals, indicating a potential protective role.

This study found that hemoglobin α is upregulated in epidermal keratinocytes after UV exposure and may function as an antioxidant, particularly for hair follicle stem cells.

Abatacept may help some people with alopecia areata regrow hair.

This study found that the AabHLH112 transcription factor positively regulates the biosynthesis of β-caryophyllene, epi-cedrol, and β-farnesene in Artemisia annua.

This study found a previously unreported ST14 gene mutation in a patient with ichthyosis-hypotrichosis syndrome, highlighting novel skin and hair characteristics and emphasizing the critical role of the Asp482 amino acid in matriptase activation.

This study found that adults with β-thalassemia major had a significantly higher prevalence of skin, hair, and nail disorders compared to healthy controls, influenced by factors like age, gender, and ferritin levels.

This study identified the Itpr3 gene as responsible for the tufted hair loss phenotype in the BTBR mouse strain.

In this study, researchers identified a novel and two previously reported pathogenic mutations in the HR gene associated with atrichia with papular lesions in five Pakistani families.

This study developed a novel monoclonal antibody, TYHF-1, which specifically reacts with hair keratins but not with epidermal keratins or various other tissue cells.

This study discovered that a specific G to C mutation in the ornithine aminotransferase gene is linked to the retarded hair growth phenotype in mice and may serve as a model for human gyrate atrophy.

In this study, novel mutations in the BTD gene were identified in a patient with profound biotinidase deficiency, highlighting the importance of biotinidase activity measurement and mutation analysis for early diagnosis.

This study demonstrated that AtVLN4 plays a role in root hair growth by regulating actin organization in a calcium-dependent manner.

This study indicates that MAGE-11 modulates androgen receptor transcriptional activity through F-box interactions, independent of the activation function 2 pathway, revealing a novel mechanism for androgen receptor regulation.

This study suggests that an immune response to trichohyalin and keratin 16 may contribute to the pathogenesis of alopecia areata.

This study demonstrates that the trichohyalin gene is located at chromosomal region 1q21, where several other genes related to epidermal differentiation also map.

HGF combined with ADA is highly accurate for diagnosing tuberculous pleural effusion, especially in younger females.
