In this study using mice, simultaneous deficiencies in claudin-1 and claudin-3 were associated with hair loss and altered hair follicle architecture during the telogen phase, suggesting a role in hair retention.

This study observed that the hair loss in homozygous rhino mice is associated with widening of the hair canal due to hyperkeratosis, leading to insufficient support for hair anchoring.

Isolated patchy heterochromia with pili annulati can occur without other health issues.

This study found that chronic stress may inhibit hair follicle growth and melanogenesis in mice through modulation of the central HPA axis, with C57BL/6 mice appearing most sensitive to these effects.

This research observed that the skeletal abnormalities in Noggin null mice varied based on genetic background, and identified haploinsufficiency leading to joint fusions, similar to human conditions associated with NOGGIN deficiency.

This study found that a mutation causing Stormorken syndrome in mice led to skeletal abnormalities and unusual hair growth, showcasing the STIM1 R304W protein’s role in bone development and cell fate.

This study observed that the catagen phase in hairless mice displayed a slower shortening of the mutant epithelial column, resulting in longer total follicle length and abnormalities in the connective tissue sheath and glassy membrane.

This study found that the development and differentiation of Merkel cells in C57BL mouse embryos' dorsolateral skin are linked to tylotrich follicle formation rather than to neural influences.

This study found that mutant mice with the we/we wal/wal genotype exhibit significant defects in hair shaft structure and epidermis stratification, correlating with postnatal alopecia symptoms.

Ovariectomy in mice affects hair growth and skin thickness, suggesting potential for obesity treatment research.

This study found that the hairless mutant gene in C 57BL/6 mice affects the hair follicle cycle and leads to early thymus degeneration and distinct skin changes.

This study suggests that inducible transgenic mice showing hair follicle changes similar to telogen effluvium in humans might serve as a useful model for understanding this type of hair loss.

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 observed that, contrary to common belief, aged Balb/C mice showed better wound healing than younger mice despite greater weight loss, possibly due to increased T regulatory cells.

This study found that the pituitary gland is crucial for normal pelage color cycles in weasels, with certain hormones influencing regrowth of pigmented or white hair after molting.

In this study, ob/ob mice were found to have a prolonged telogen hair cycle phase from 10 to 24 weeks, suggesting their potential as a model for studying telogen effluvium.

This study in mice found that MEIS2 expression in mesenchymal dermal cells is crucial for the formation of whiskers and the initial steps of epithelial placode development, independently of sensory nerve innervation or Foxd1 expression.

This research identified two genetic variants that influence the white-spotted coat patterns in Holstein-Friesian cattle, involving regulatory changes in the MITF and KIT genes, confirmed through mouse models, along with possible effects on coat patterns in other cattle breeds.

This study developed a pemphigus model in mice showing that anti-Desmocollin 3 and anti-Desmoglein 3 antibodies lead to more severe disease, suggesting diverse antigens contribute to varying human pemphigus phenotypes.

This review explores how spiny mice (Acomys spp.) exhibit unique regenerative healing abilities, with findings indicating that these rodents use specialized injury response mechanisms and proregenerative pathways to enhance tissue repair and regeneration compared to scar-forming mammals.

This article discusses the impact of the tabby mutation on secondary vibrissae and hair follicle patterns in mice and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that SHJH hr mice, with a Hairless gene mutation, exhibit accelerated skin aging potentially due to poor antioxidative protection, highlighting the Hr gene's role in skin aging.

This study identifies a new mutation in the Scd1 gene in a strain of Kunming mice, causing skin and hair defects with the mildest impact among similar mutations.

This study describes the use of a genetically engineered mouse model, mTurquoise2-Col4a1, to fluorescently label collagen IV and observe basement membrane dynamics during skin development, revealing its stability and pliability during rapid growth phases.

This study reports that treatment with X-rays or procarbazine induced dose-dependent mutations in melanocytes in mouse hair follicles, showing similar mutation rates to previous methods.

This study found that Frizzled genes Fzd3 and Fzd6 are redundantly involved in controlling hair follicle polarity in mice, but operate through distinct mechanisms, highlighting their complex role in hair orientation.

This study found that mink pelts with "singe" and "red hip" defects often exhibit split hair tips and altered cuticle structures, which may contribute to their undesired metallic sheen.
