This study found that hair plucking via waxing led to greying of hair in castrated mice, suggesting that decreased androgen levels may contribute to age-related hair greying in humans.

This study suggests that Foxn1 expression in keratinocytes influences pigmentation in mice, highlighting differences in the molecular mechanisms between mouse and human pigmentation processes.

This study found that a non-scarring alopecia in C3H/HeJ mice resembles human alopecia areata and may serve as a valuable model for studying specific subtypes of the human condition.

This study revealed that Patched receptors establish a Hedgehog signaling gradient in developing hair follicles, which may influence their formation and potentially offer a diagnostic tool for distinguishing Hedgehog-driven tumors.

This study reports the first instance of skin autotomy in mammals, specifically in African spiny mice, and suggests they may possess a greater regenerative capacity than previously understood, possibly offering insights for regenerative medicine.

In this study, researchers developed a pemphigus mouse model expressing anti-Desmocollin 3 antibodies and found it mimicked atypical pemphigus with distinct pathological features compared to the standard Desmoglein 3 model.

This study reports that flaky skin mice exhibit skin and nail features that closely resemble human psoriasis vulgaris, suggesting they may serve as a natural model for this condition.

In this study, introducing the rat OTC gene into spf-ash mice led to increased OTC activity and normalized hair growth and biochemical markers like urinary orotic acid and serum citrulline, partially correcting the symptoms of OTC deficiency.

This study presents an improved reference genome for the African spiny mouse, which may aid in understanding its tissue regeneration at the molecular level.

This study identified a large deletion in the desmoglein 4 gene as the genetic basis of the Iffa Credo "hairless" rat's skin phenotype, linking it to lanceolate hair mutations.

This study described two cases of trichoblastomas in the tactile hair skin of aged house musk shrews, highlighting that their histological structure differs from that in humans and other animals.

This paper discusses two preclinical models for studying alopecia areata and finds that testing new therapeutic agents should involve both the C3H/HeJ mouse model and the humanized mouse model for comprehensive insights.

This commentary highlights the potential of using transgenic and genome-edited mouse models to validate findings from livestock genomic and multi-omic analyses, aiding in the understanding of economically significant animal traits.

This study found that the patchwork mutation in mice affects melanocyte survival in hair follicles, leading to a variegated coat pattern without partially pigmented hairs due to a community effect among melanoblasts.

This study developed the mTurquoise2-Col4a1 mouse model and used fluorescent tagging of collagen IV to offer new insights into basement membrane dynamics during hair follicle budding, revealing that basement membranes are flexible and stable structures in developing skin tissue.

The Celsr1 gene is crucial for normal hair patterning in mice.

This study found no qualitative skin differences during development between mutant hairless USP mice and BALB/c mice, except for enlarged cysts in the hairless strain.

This study found that topical treatment with 7DHC and BM15766 reduced hair growth in mice compared to those treated with Ethanol/DMSO, and hair did not recover after treatment ceased, alongside increased apoptotic cells and decreased expression of specific genes.

This collection reviews various animal models for dermatological research, particularly focusing on genetic mutations in laboratory mice, and reports no original findings.

This study developed a simple and reliable technique to quantify hair loss in mice, potentially enhancing assessment and comparison of new alopecia therapies in preclinical research.

This study found that mimicking the XPD point mutation in mice resulted in trichothiodystrophy-like symptoms, supporting the role of basal transcription and DNA repair defects in the disease.

This article examines microscopic structural differences and pigment distribution in various rabbit hair colors and reports no clinical results.

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 MRL/MpJ mice heal burn wounds with scar formation, experiencing delayed wound closure and impaired myofibroblast development, which contrasts with quicker contraction in BALB/c mice.

This study developed a method to quantify hair loss in mice, aiding the evaluation of new treatments for alopecia.

This study observed that mice with a Cx43 mutation exhibited slower and asynchronous hair regrowth with severe cuticle weathering, mimicking aspects of hair phenotype in some ODDD patients.

In this study, researchers using a mouse model found that the hairlessness in nude mice is likely due to a shared defect in the thymus and skin, not thymic dysgenesis alone.

Mouse hair element patterns vary, making it unreliable for tracking time.

A missing mK6irs1 gene causes hair loss in mice.

This study reported that 39.7% of Amargosa voles had mite-associated lesions, which may severely impact their health and fitness.
