This chapter reviews the skin's structure and its clinical relevance, highlighting connective tissue diseases and the potential for novel treatments like protein, cell, or stem cell transfer, but reports no new findings.

This study concluded that specific SNPs in the TRPS1 gene significantly alter its protein structure, affecting interactions and contributing to the development of congenital hypertrichosis.

Understanding skin structure and development helps diagnose and treat skin disorders.

The document concludes that the skin is a complex organ providing protection, sensation, and healing, with challenges in treating conditions like itchiness.

In this study, researchers observed that mice with the naked gene showed frequent absence of hair cuticle and cortical cells during follicle growth, with abnormal keratin deposition also noted.

This study analyzes the fine structure and protein distribution in monotreme hairs, finding similarities with other mammals and detailing unique immunocytochemical features in their inner root sheaths.

This paper explores how hair functions as a geographical lens to redefine the body's borders, influencing perceptions of identity and power.

This review discusses the development and role of corneodesmosin in skin and hair follicle integrity, highlighting findings from mouse models and its connection to genetic diseases, with no new experimental results included.

Curly and straight hair differ in how their internal fibers are arranged.

In this study, oil body-bound oleosin-rhFGF-10 was more efficiently absorbed through the skin and enhanced wound healing and hair growth in mice, compared to prokaryotically-expressed rhFGF-10.

In this study, young Ukrainian men with alopecia areata were found to generally have higher body circumference measurements, particularly in the upper limbs, lower limbs, and trunk, compared to healthy controls, suggesting potential markers for the disease and aiding personalized diagnosis and treatment approaches.

This review summarizes evidence indicating that body image issues in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus should be addressed with the same importance as physical symptoms like pain and disability.

This study reveals that overexpression of Wnt3 in transgenic mouse skin leads to a short-hair phenotype and cyclical balding due to structural defects in hair shafts, highlighting a role for WNT signaling in hair growth regulation.

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 utilized a sequence-structure alignment approach to improve the characterization of Class A Rhodopsin GPCR superfamily, including orphan and unclassified receptors, through evolutionary analysis.

This review presents updated tables of mouse mutants with hair growth abnormalities to aid in understanding the molecular mechanisms of human hair disorders, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that Florida manatees have unique types of specialized nerve endings in their vibrissae, which assist in their sensory and manipulative functions in aquatic environments.

This narrative review discusses the structure and functions of the skin, focusing on its barrier role, self-repair, thermoregulation, and immune functions, and reports no new experimental results.

In this study, experimentally induced weight loss in merino sheep led to a decrease in wool fiber diameter and increased expression of certain high sulfur and glycine-tyrosine proteins, potentially impacting wool quality and industry preferences.

This study provides the first crystal structure of the human SRD5A2 enzyme, revealing key insights into its function and inhibition which may aid future drug development.

This study found that Merkel cell clusters require Frizzled6 signaling for their polarity information, while other hair follicle-associated structures align their orientation based on the hair follicle itself.
