This study found that prolactin plays a direct role in regulating the timing of hair growth cycles in mice by affecting the skin, rather than through other endocrine factors.

This study found that the S. epidermidis A/C lineage is more pathogenic due to its metabolic and genomic versatility, which allows it to adapt quickly from a commensal to a pathogenic lifestyle.

This study found that the serine protease BSSP is strongly expressed in mouse skin during carcinogenesis and is upregulated independently of c-Fos and unaffected by glucocorticoids.

In this study, researchers identified a novel KRT74 gene mutation associated with autosomal recessive pure hair and nail ectodermal dysplasia in a Pakistani family, expanding the known genetic causes of the disorder.

The researchers reported that the novel MBTPS2 variant p.Glu172Asp found in a male proband is likely pathogenic, consistent with osteogenesis imperfecta symptoms and molecular signatures, including disrupted fatty acid metabolism and collagen production.

This study reports the first case of mandibuloacral dysplasia syndrome associated with MTX2 gene mutation in the Chinese population, expanding the known spectrum of MTX2 mutations.

This study concluded that both ozonated oil and Centella asiatica extract effectively accelerated wound healing in mice through different mechanisms, with the former enhancing early-stage inflammation and the latter promoting collagen deposition and regenerative healing.

This study reports that hair fibers degrade most in acidic sandy clay, while silicone oil treatment is effective for conserving various hair types and artifacts.

This review examines the genetic factors influencing coat color in horses and donkeys, highlighting key genes like MC1R, TYR, MITF, ASIP, and KIT, and discusses implications for selective breeding and the relationship between coat color and specific equine diseases.

UV radiation may cause DNA changes in skin, certain UVB therapy helps psoriasis, a new gene mutation is linked to mild piebaldism, different immune cells affect psoriasis, a drug promotes hair growth, and some cancer drugs could treat skin barrier issues.

This study identified intramembrane proteolysis as a key feature of Astrotactin2 maturation, providing insights into its role in planar cell polarity hair patterning.

This study found that Neuregulin3 can influence the development and differentiation of mammary glands and epidermal features in mice, potentially by inducing c-Myc and altering cell proliferation and adhesion.

In this study, researchers found that ligand homodimerization controls the receptor binding specificity of the FGF9 subfamily, preventing off-target activation of FGFR "b" isoforms.

This study found a novel PAX9 gene mutation that may cause tooth agenesis and trichodysplasia in a studied family.

This study identifies a likely pathogenic homozygous missense variant in the AEBP1 gene in a patient with symptoms of classical Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, suggesting new perspectives for EDS classification and research.

This study identified a genetic variant in the CTS6 gene associated with a hypotrichosis syndrome, emphasizing the significant role of cystatin M/E in hair and skin health.

This study in a Pakistani family identified a novel ST14 gene variant as the likely genetic cause of autosomal recessive ichthyosis with hypotrichosis syndrome.

This study found that among different subtypes of PCOS based on Rotterdam criteria, group A showed higher androgen levels and hirsutism, while all subtypes had increased LH and LH/FSH compared to controls.

In this study, a Chinese Han family with hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets was found to have a homozygous missense mutation in the VDR gene, and the affected individual uniquely responded well to treatment with oral calcium and low-dose calcitriol.

Mink use L-methionine and L-cystine slightly better than natural amino acids for hair growth, but D-methionine is not effective.

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 study found that EGCG improved the integrity of skin grafts during cryopreservation, suggesting its potential usefulness for skin preservation, though the exact mechanism remains unclear.

This case report describes an adult male from India with Werner's syndrome due to a novel homozygous mutation in the WRN gene, characterized by several premature aging symptoms.

This study found a recurrent nonsense mutation in the HR gene linked to atrichia with papular lesions in two Kashmiri families, suggesting whole exome sequencing as an efficient method for diagnosis and genetic counseling.

In this study, photodynamic therapy was found to achieve permanent reduction of nonpigmented hair in mice, unlike an 800-nm diode laser, by targeting the hair matrix through repeated sessions.

This study reports the first familial case of alopecia linked to a novel homozygous variant in the DSP gene, which did not coincide with heart abnormalities despite prior associations.

This study found that premenopausal women with non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia may have increased cardiometabolic risk compared to healthy women.

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 observed that in privately owned, intact cats, male cats exhibited significantly higher long-term hair cortisol concentrations compared to females, while environmental and behavioral factors did not significantly impact cortisol levels, suggesting individual traits may influence stress markers more than external factors.

This study assessed mice's hematology and serum enzymes under sodium arsenite toxicity and observed that Aegle marmelos fruit extract reduced liver and kidney damage, mitigating the toxin's effects by maintaining normal enzyme levels when both were administered together.
