This paper explores the diverse patterns and social significance of Black hair, approaching it as an art form, mathematical pattern, and ethnomathematic entity, and seeks to dispel myths while highlighting its vast possibilities.

This study reports that a specific transporter protein in Staphylococcus hominis is responsible for transporting a malodour precursor, thereby playing a key role in human body odor production.

This study found that a novel R343H mutation in the vitamin D receptor gene impairs its transcription activity, contributing to hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets and alopecia in the affected family.

This study observed that gene expression differences in Rex rabbits with varying wool densities suggest the involvement of specific genes and signaling pathways, including Shh and Eph, in hair follicle development.

This study found that topical bortezomib increased cell proliferation in hair follicles and sebaceous glands in mice and may activate hair keratin gene expression through GATA-3 transcription factors.

This study found that a truncated region of the K5 promoter directs expression in stratified epithelia, particularly in epidermis, hair follicles, and tongue, potentially involving specific keratinocyte nuclear proteins in regulation.

This study found that as few as 90 base pairs of the K5 promoter directed keratinocyte-preferred expression in stratified epithelia, especially in epidermis, hair follicles, and tongue, showing cell type specificity.

This research reports that the polyG fragment within the Hoxc13 protein alters its gene regulatory functions, which could have influenced mammalian hair evolution by affecting pathways related to hair follicle development.

In this study, researchers found that sesamin, a component of sesamum, modulated the AR-MAPK-Wnt signaling pathway in DHT-stimulated HaCaT keratinocytes, demonstrating potential multi-target activity against molecular events in androgenetic alopecia.

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.

This study used in silico analysis to identify 4-[2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethylcarbamoyl]benzenesulfonyl as a potential inhibitor of the EGFR mutant associated with NSCLC, highlighting the need for further in vitro and in vivo validation.

This study identified ectodin as a novel BMP inhibitor that modulates BMP signaling in ectodermal development by interacting with SHH and FGF pathways.

This study identified a missense mutation in the rat Desmoglein 4 gene, causing abnormal hair shaft development in lanceolate hair mutant rats by disrupting a critical calcium binding site.

This study found that Foxn1-like genes in fish and mice are functionally equivalent in activating hair keratin genes, whereas changes in the cephalochordate Foxn1-like gene result in inactivity.

In this case study, a girl with hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets had a novel mutation in the VDR gene that affected hair cycling without causing total alopecia, suggesting ligand-independent VDR function in hair cycling.

This review discusses the use of platelet-rich plasma for treating various types of alopecia, reporting promising preliminary hair regrowth results but noting a lack of quantitative evidence from well-designed clinical trials.

This study reports that 14 of 19 patients with erythema nodosum leprosum had C3 deposits in vessel walls when examined using direct immunofluorescence.

This study found that, despite the unchanged total level of 18-MEA, deletion of the Sox21 gene disrupts its attachment to the hair cuticle, increases cholesterol sulphate levels, and differentially affects ceramide composition.

In this study, researchers identified a temperature-sensitive mutation in the FERONIA gene of plants that prevents root hair formation at elevated temperatures, highlighting its role in maintaining root hair growth and response to plant hormones.

This study assessed vitamin E and a combined oral contraceptive's impact on continuous light-induced PCOS in female rats, finding they reduced testosterone levels and modified oxidative stress, suggesting benefits via melatonin-related pathways.

This study investigated adenosine-to-inosine RNA editing in the hair follicle cycle of Tianzhu white yak, identifying numerous editing sites and suggesting their involvement in pathways related to hair growth.

This article discusses the complex pathogenesis of hirsutism and reports no new clinical results; further research is needed for better diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

This study suggests that perforin/granzyme-B might play a role in the interaction of sex hormones in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome.

This study found that escin acts as a natural agonist of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in cultured human dermal papilla cells by promoting the degradation of GSK-3β, highlighting its potential therapeutic use for conditions like androgenetic alopecia and vitiligo.

This paper reviews several dermatological studies, including findings on hair growth, skin damage, bullous pemphigoid, and psoriasis treatments, and reports no new clinical results.

This study identified a mutation in the steroid-binding domain of the androgen receptor gene associated with complete androgen insensitivity syndrome, impairing male sexual development due to altered androgen receptor protein function.

This study found that dermal papilla cells from balding scalp follicles secrete significantly less insulin-like growth factor-1 and its binding proteins, suggesting a mechanism contributing to male pattern baldness.

In this study, CRISPR/Cas9-engineered Arabidopsis mutants revealed diverse functional differences among expansin proteins essential for root hair growth, highlighting variability in protein trafficking, cell wall binding, and evolutionary changes in critical residues affecting wall loosening.

This study found that compounds extracted from Cucurbita maxima seeds at 50 °C for 2 hours demonstrated significant binding affinities against breast cancer-related proteins, suggesting potential anticancer activity needing further in vitro and in vivo evaluation.

This study in rats suggests that combining the 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor 4-MA with the antiandrogen Flutamide may enhance prostate cancer therapy by additively inhibiting prostatic growth and mRNA levels of androgen-sensitive prostatic binding proteins.
