This study in male rats identified a unique type of mechanoreceptor, the club-like ending, which responds only to touch and not to self-motion during whisking, contrasting with other receptors that show mixed selectivity.

Caloric restriction improves skin and fur structure but can cause muscle loss and movement issues.

In this report, researchers describe a 13-month-old with neurodevelopmental disorder NEDESBA, confirming a TRAPPC4 gene mutation as the cause after excluding biotinidase deficiency, highlighting the importance of molecular testing for accurate diagnosis in overlapping metabolic and genetic conditions.

This article reviews central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, focusing on its multifactorial etiology and challenges in clinical diagnosis, and calls for more research and better treatment options.

This review discusses recent advances in stimuli-responsive nanoformulations for CRISPR-Cas9 delivery, highlighting their design rationales and potential biomedical applications, but reports no new experimental results.

This case report suggests that in African-American patients, the histology of Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia may resemble lichen planopilaris, indicating a potential diagnostic challenge.

This study reports a novel diagnostic method for latent circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorder using circadian gene oscillations from hair follicle cells to improve sleep disorder differentiation and potential therapeutic intervention.

This study found that the rs3185480 polymorphism in the APCDD1 gene was associated with an elevated risk of developing androgenic alopecia and reduced protein levels, potentially due to altered codon usage affecting translation efficiency.

This study found that local injections of interleukin-4 and neutralizing anti-interferon-γ antibody effectively treated alopecia in a mouse model, suggesting potential therapeutic pathways for human alopecia areata.

This study developed new immortalized keratinocyte cell lines lacking COL7A1 using CRISPR/Cas9 technology, providing a valuable model to explore the biology and treatment options for recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa.

This study found that supplementing pregnant and lactating mice with high dietary copper improved survival and physical traits in mice carrying the crinkled mutation, suggesting copper's role in modulating gene expression.

This article describes a method using the CUBIC protocol to clarify and visualize molecular and cellular interactions in mouse skin biopsies at single cell resolution, but does not provide new biological findings.

This study found that the circular RNA circCOL1A1 influences the formation of superior-quality brush hair in white goats by regulating hair follicle stem cell behavior and interacting with the miR-149-5p/CMTM3/AR axis.

In this study, researchers found that a specific genetic variant in the INSR gene is linked to severe insulin resistance and hyperandrogenemia in type A insulin resistance syndrome, suggesting the benefit of exon sequencing for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

This study examined uncharacterized CYP21A2 gene variants related to non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia and found that several mutations reduce enzyme activity, which may help improve diagnostic and treatment strategies.

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 suggests that PrPC plays a role in the differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells during neurogenesis, impacting neural progenitor cell development.

This review discusses the potential roles of prostaglandin D2 and its receptor CRTH2 in various diseases beyond allergies and asthma and reports no new clinical results.

In this study, researchers identified a recurrent nonsense mutation, c.409C>T (p.Arg137*), in the COL7A1 gene through whole exome sequencing in a family with autosomal recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, demonstrating the importance of this method for diagnosing genetically complex conditions.

This study reports that citrulline, uniquely found in the inner root sheath of hair follicles, can be specifically detected with the carbamido diacetyl reaction, resulting in a bright orange color.

This study found that the small signaling peptide RALF22 plays a key role in root hair growth response to volatile compounds emitted by Penicillium aurantiogriseum through ethylene, auxin, and photosynthesis signaling in Arabidopsis.

This study found that in mice, knockout of Rac1 and Rac3 in keratinocytes led to reduced white adipose tissue and revealed Rac-dependent paracrine pathways affecting pre-adipocyte differentiation.

This review discusses the calcineurin/NFAT pathway's role in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, noting its involvement in tumor development, skin cell behavior, and the tumor microenvironment; it reports no new results.

This study found that AIRE, a usually nuclear protein, is expressed in the cytoplasm of human epidermal and follicular keratinocytes and associates with the intermediate filament protein cytokeratin 17, potentially impacting ectodermal abnormalities in APECED syndrome.

This study reports that the DMI3 gene, essential for nodule formation in legume-rhizobial symbiosis, encodes a calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase, highlighting its role in multiple plant symbioses.

This study found that overexpression of AKR1C3 in prostate cancer cells redirected androgen metabolism towards testosterone production, which facilitated cell proliferation, potentially reducing the effectiveness of finasteride treatment.

This study reported that the anti-γc antibody hC2 restored hair follicle homeostasis and suppressed hair loss in an AA-like mouse model by inhibiting autoreactive T-cell activity, suggesting that hC2 may offer a safer and more effective treatment for alopecia areata compared to current Jak inhibitors.

This study identified a mutation in the keratin 71 gene that causes curly hair in certain rats, advancing our understanding of hair formation.
