This study found that loss of the folliculin protein delays transferrin receptor recycling, leading to iron deficiency and suggesting a role in the mechanisms of Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome.

This study found that inhibiting C/EBP transcription factors in mouse skin reduced papilloma formation and caused systemic hair loss, suggesting C/EBP may be a potential therapeutic target.

This study observed that β-catenin overexpression in human squamous cell carcinoma cells led to increased CREB expression, which significantly enhanced clonogenic activity, suggesting CREB as a β-catenin-regulated factor promoting cancer characteristics.

This study found that in AGA, the risk allele at locus 2q35 alters WNT10A expression through EBF1, suggesting a potential androgen-dependent regulatory mechanism.

This review discusses the role of acyl-CoA binding protein (ACBP) in the epidermal barrier, noting that its disruption in mice is linked to skin and fur abnormalities; it reports no new clinical results.

This case report identifies a novel LIPH gene mutation linked to autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis in a Japanese boy, expanding the spectrum of known mutations associated with this condition.

In this study, two unique mutations in the RBPJ gene were identified and linked to Adams-Oliver syndrome, confirming impaired DNA binding of mutated RBPJ as a factor in this rare genetic disorder.

This study suggests that basonuclin may act as a tissue-specific transcription factor for ribosomal RNA genes by interacting with the promoter region necessary for high transcription levels in human keratinocytes.

This study developed rat monoclonal antibodies that specifically detect Pax1/PAX1 protein, which could improve diagnostic protocols for conditions involving deregulated Pax1/PAX1 expression.

This study found that autophagy is impaired in Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome-associated renal tumors and identified that the FLCN protein interacts with key autophagy components regulated by ULK1.

This study concluded that allele-specific PCR (AS-PCR) is more reliable than tetra-primer ARMS-PCR for genotyping the SNP rs1998076 due to better stability and interpretability.

GNPTAB gene is crucial for normal hair color in humans and mice.

In liver cancer cells, this study found that upregulating hsa_circ_0002980 inhibits cell proliferation, metastasis, and EMT by modulating the miR-1303/CADM2 axis, suggesting it as a potential therapeutic target.

This study achieved successful cloning of the ovine keratin associated protein 6-1 gene, which may facilitate future research on transgenic animals and hair follicle gene regulation.

This review highlights LTBP1 as a critical integrator in disease processes, showing its dual role in cancer progression and suppression, its pathological influence in fibrosis, and its contribution to various disorders, suggesting its potential as a biomarker and therapeutic target.

This study suggests that the DNMT3B -579 G>T polymorphism may be a genetic risk factor for colorectal cancer in the Azerbaijani population.

This study found that the truncated hHb1-DeltaN transcript in breast cancer cells is produced by a cryptic intron promoter and responds to DNA demethylation, potentially altering cancer cell adhesion.

This study in mutant mice found that Bmpr2 and Acvr2a are individually redundant, but together essential for normal hair follicle development, with their reduction causing rapid hair cycling and graying.

This paper reviews genome-based personalized medicine developments using Web services for analyzing SNPs in reproductive potential but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that FLCN deficiency in mice muscles led to increased mitochondrial biogenesis and a metabolic shift towards oxidative phosphorylation, with a similar advantage observed in FLCN-null kidney cancer cells.

This study found that the circadian clock in mouse skin regulates cell proliferation and affects sensitivity to UVB-induced DNA damage, with potential implications for understanding human skin cancer risk.

In this study, researchers identified two significant genetic polymorphisms in the 3'-UTR of the HSP70 gene in Moa buffalo, which may play an important role in heat adaptation, providing insights for conservation and performance improvement in tropical climates.

In this study, researchers investigated the genetic basis of the feathered foot trait in Guangxi native chickens and found that the gene TBX5 plays a critical role, suggesting it affects feather formation by regulating the proliferation and migration of dermal fibroblasts.

This research found that the microtubule catastrophe factor KIF18B plays a crucial role in promoting spindle orientation in keratinocytes, linking this process to cell fate decisions during hair follicle morphogenesis.

In this study, overexpression of ornithine decarboxylase accelerated basal cell carcinoma in Ptch1+/– mice under UVB exposure, while its inhibition reduced tumor induction, suggesting potential chemoprevention strategies in humans.

In this study, researchers found that most patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia lacked the protective rs1800440 polymorphism in the CYP1B1 gene, suggesting its potential role in the development of this condition, while a significant number carried the rs9258883 polymorphism in HLA-B*07:02.

This study found that BNC2 is critical for hair follicle regeneration and other developmental processes, as Bnc2−/− mice exhibit incomplete hair follicle development and developmental defects, and BNC1 cannot substitute for BNC2.

This case report describes a rare occurrence of ectodermal dysplasia features in a 14-year-old with MBTPS1 gene variants, expanding the known spectrum of related disorders.

This study identified a new PNPLA1 mutation in a Spanish family with autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis.

Mutations in the ACTB gene cause Becker’s nevi and may lead to muscle issues in Becker’s nevus syndrome.
