This article discusses features, genetics, and diagnostic challenges of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in African American women but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that inhibiting Wnt/β-catenin signaling disrupted hemidesmosome organization in keratinocytes, suggesting potential therapeutic targets for HD-defective diseases like epidermolysis bullosa.

This study identified genetic variants in the Trichohyalin gene that account for approximately 6% of the variance in hair morphology among Australians of European descent.

This study found that in Arabidopsis, the CLE14 peptide regulates root hair growth by promoting elongation, an effect that requires CLV2 and CRN proteins and involves ethylene signalling along with hydrogen peroxide and nitric oxide pathways.

This report describes a three-generation family with Cantú syndrome linked to a novel ABCC9 gene variant, featuring acromegaloid appearance and hypertrichosis without growth hormone abnormalities, and suggests a potential association with pituitary adenomas.

People with X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia have no sweat ducts and less, thinner hair.

In this study, researchers identified hair follicle stem cells in the bulge region of canine hair follicles, suggesting potential applications for future translational research.

Hair follicle dermal stem cells help control hair growth timing by regulating signals at the hair germ–dermal papilla interface.

This study found that claudins CLDN1 and CLDN3 are crucial for maintaining proper hair follicle structure in mice, and their dysregulation may lead to telogen hair loss.

A 4kb fragment of the desmocollin 3 promoter targets gene expression to specific skin and hair follicle areas.

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 suggests that deregulation of sonic and desert hedgehog signaling in mouse skin can lead to altered epidermal stem cell activity and lesions similar to human basal cell carcinoma, indicating these cancers may originate outside the stem cell population.

In this case report and literature review, researchers identified a novel mutation in the CLDN1 gene linked to neonatal ichthyosis-sclerosing cholangitis syndrome and found that its phenotype varies widely, suggesting a multidisciplinary approach is crucial for management.

This study found that Dab2 conditional knockout mice experienced delayed hair follicle cycles and reduced hair follicle stem cell activity, suggesting Dab2's crucial role in regulating stem cell activation and anti-aging process in hair follicles.

This study found that disruptions in planar cell polarity signaling are implicated in congenital heart defects and cardiomyopathy in developing mouse hearts, associated with early cardiomyocyte disorganization and improper heart looping.

This study indicates that CD4 protein may have a functional role in basal cell-like keratinocytes through TCR/CD3-independent signaling, affecting their proliferation, differentiation, and migration.

This study found that the deletion of Med1 in dental epithelia causes a shift from dental to hair tissue development, suggesting the importance of Med1 in maintaining tissue-specific lineage.

This study found that transgenic mice with keratinocyte-specific overexpression of CtBP1 exhibited abnormal hair follicle development, suggesting CtBP1 may play a pathogenic role in hair morphogenesis.

This study identified a novel mutation and confirmed a previous mutation in the LIPH gene in a woman with autosomal recessive woolly hair, expanding the mutation spectrum for this condition.

This study identified a novel human type I hair keratin, hHa3-II, as an isoform of a previously described hHa3 keratin, with distinct sequence differences indicating separate gene encoding.

This research observed that mutations in the PTCH gene are common in both sporadic and hereditary basal cell cancers, suggesting a critical role of the PTCH signaling pathway in skin tumor development.

This case report describes a 40-year-old woman with Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome diagnosed with multiple chromophobe renal cell carcinomas, highlighting the importance of recognizing associated dermatologic lesions for early intervention.

This study found that Wnt5a regulates hair follicle differentiation in mice by mediating epithelial-mesenchymal interactions and influencing dermal papilla cell activities.

This study reports a rare cluster of four patients with ectodermal dysplasia, highlighting its typical dental and dermatological manifestations and the necessity of multidisciplinary management.

This study found that Hoxc13-/- rabbits exhibit complete hair loss on the head and dorsum, providing a potential model for understanding human ECTD-9 and related dermatological conditions.

This article updates a prior work on pharmacophore modeling and highlights the advances in 3D database searching technologies for drug design, without presenting new research findings.

This study found that the ACE gene DD genotype and D allele are linked to an increased risk of hypertensive IHD complications, with dyslipidemia also identified as a significant risk factor for ischemic heart disease.

This study found that in Arabidopsis, the MYB30-EIN3 module plays a role in adapting root hair development to phosphate deficiency, potentially enhancing phosphate uptake from soil.

This study found that human fetal CD133+ progenitor cells and their conditioned medium accelerated wound healing and promoted angiogenesis in a mouse model of ischemic diabetic ulcers through paracrine mechanisms involving Wnt signaling.

A common mutation in the hHb6 gene is linked to monilethrix, but other factors may also play a role.
