This study describes three new cases of MCOPS6 with BMP4 variants, noting expanded phenotypic variability but no clinically apparent microphthalmia in these individuals, which is commonly reported in the disorder.

This study found that in Liaoning cashmere goats, the BMP4 gene shows increased transcription from the anagen stage to telogen, and higher gene methylation correlates with reduced expression in skin tissue.

This study mapped gene expression in different skin structures of dogs, finding similarities to humans that support using dogs as models for human skin diseases.

This review highlights the significance of animal fibers, examining the molecular mechanisms influencing hair follicle development and their impact on fiber quality and quantity, with a focus on studies involving Angora and cashmere goats.

This case report identifies a 32-year-old woman with undiagnosed PHPT-1a who exhibited complete pseudo-anodontia and persistent patchy alopecia areata, suggesting these may be new nonclassical features of a GNAS pathogenic variant.

This study found that DNA methylation changes in granulosa cells from PCOS patients affect gene expression related to insulin resistance, fat cell differentiation, and steroid metabolism, suggesting an epigenetic contribution to PCOS pathogenesis.

This study discovered that lambs with coarse, ancestral-like wool in a population of modern fine wool sheep exhibited overexpression of the SOSTDC1 gene, linked to epigenetic changes, which helps understand the development and diversification of wool types in sheep breeding.

This study found that structural defects in the hair shafts of sighthounds with bald thigh syndrome are related to a downregulation of genes and proteins essential for hair shaft formation.

This paper considers fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva as a segmental progeroid syndrome, which may help uncover mechanisms of normal aging and suggest targets for new treatments.

In this study, transcriptome analysis suggested that lipid metabolism and apoptosis may be key factors influencing hair length differences between short-hair and long-hair rabbits.

This study demonstrated that FGF5s acts as an inhibitor of FGF5 in regulating hair growth cycles in cashmere goat dermal papilla cells.

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

In this study, the expression of certain hair follicle-related genes differed between growth phases in Angora goats, with HOXC13 showing overexpression during the anagen phase, potentially influencing the mohair's shine and texture.

This study found that in sheep, the microRNA oar-miR-377 regulates hair follicle development by targeting the SLC24A2 gene, and identified a genetic variation associated with wool quality, suggesting potential markers for breeding.

This study found that HOXC13 gene expression was significantly higher during the anagen phase in Angora goats, potentially contributing to the mohair's shiny and silky nature.

This study found that genetic ablation of Tet genes in mice led to changes in hair structure and keratin gene expression, indicating a role for Tet-mediated 5hmC DNA oxidation in hair follicle development and cycling.

In this study, decreased expression of BMP2 and ephrin A3 and increased NT-4 gene expression were observed in dermal papilla cells from androgenic alopecia-affected skin, suggesting potential roles in hair growth regulation.

This study identified candidate genes related to hair follicle development in Merino sheep, providing insights for improving sheep wool quality and potentially understanding human hair growth mechanisms.

This study identified three genes with significantly higher expression in androgen-sensitive beard dermal papilla cells compared to androgen-insensitive scalp cells, suggesting potential novel signaling pathways in hair follicles.

This study generated FGF5-knockout Dorper sheep using the CRISPR/Cas9 system, resulting in significantly increased fine-wool and active hair-follicle density, and explored downstream signaling pathways for potential applications in androgen alopecia treatment.

This study reports that dynamic interactions between stem cells and their niche, influenced by macro-environmental factors, regulate regenerative behavior in integument pattern formation.

This study compiled an archive of 684 genes associated with monogenic hair disorders, identifying previously unrecognized components of Hippo signaling and proposing a new biologically-grounded disease taxonomy.

This study found that Cutl1 mutant mice experienced retarded lung differentiation and abnormal hair follicle morphogenesis, indicating the vital role of CDP in lung development and hair follicle cell-lineage specification.

This genetic study identified a potential interval for the Marie Unna hypotrichosis gene but found no mutations in the nearby hr gene, suggesting its involvement remains unconfirmed.

In this study, researchers identified novel long non-coding RNAs related to cashmere fineness in goats, highlighting a potential regulatory network involving lncRNA XLOC_008679 and its target gene KRT35.

This review discusses the roles and mechanisms of chromatin remodelers and their subunits in mammalian development, but reports no new experimental results.

Male hormones affect COVID-19 severity and certain drugs targeting these hormones could help reduce the risk.

This review classifies mutant mice with hair abnormalities into six categories, providing an annotated table that serves as a reference for understanding the molecular controls of hair growth.

This study suggests that down-regulation of vasculature-related genes in dermal papilla cells from balding scalps might contribute to the development of androgenetic alopecia.

This review discusses the role of microRNAs in skin function and potential therapeutic applications, emphasizing their importance in wound healing and disease management, though it reports no new experimental findings.
