ATP-sensitive potassium channels are important for hair growth.

This study found that ablating cyclin D3 in a Ras-dependent skin carcinogenesis model increased apoptosis in hair follicles, reducing papilloma development but potentially facilitating malignant progression when CDK6 is overexpressed.

This study characterized the intron-exon organization of human keratin 15 and keratin 19 genes to aid future mutation detection analyses related to potential genetic disorders of keratinization.

This study found that overexpression and knockdown of DKK4 influence genes involved in hair follicle growth and development in Angora rabbits and identified specific SNPs in DKK4 associated with wool quality, notably showing that the TT/GG haplotype combination relates to higher fibre diameters.

This study found that altering CDK4 expression in mice affects the population of keratinocyte stem cells, suggesting a correlation with susceptibility to skin papillomas.

This study identified a 14,883 bp genomic deletion affecting the Plcd1 and Vill genes as likely responsible for the abnormal phenotype observed in snthr-1Bao mice.

In this study, the researchers successfully cloned and sequenced the hairless gene cDNA of Kunming mice, revealing high conservation and functional significance among various mammalian species.

This study identified a new pathogenic variant, c.1081G>T; p.(Glu361*), in the KRT31 gene as a cause of autosomal-dominant monilethrix, highlighting the role of hair keratin proteins in hair and nail tissue disorders.

This study found that digital droplet PCR (ddPCR) outperformed qPCR in detecting replication competent lentivirus in CAR-T products by offering better sensitivity, specificity, and reproducibility, making it a reliable and rapid method for ensuring patient safety.

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.

In this study, researchers identified a causal link between Epstein-Barr virus infection and clear cell renal cell carcinoma, highlighting GBP1 as a key target and suggesting finasteride as a potential inhibitor, offering a new direction for treatment strategies.

This study identified a specific genetic variant in the CCHCR1 gene that may contribute to alopecia areata through impaired keratinization, suggesting an alternative mechanism beyond autoimmune causes.

This study found that Basonuclin 1 knockdown in human primary keratinocytes significantly reduces cell proliferation and affects migration, indicating its role in coordinating the re-epithelization phase of wound healing.

This case report documents a female toddler with novel compound heterozygous mutations in the VDR gene causing hereditary 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-resistant rickets, expanding the known mutation spectrum for this disease.

This study found that adipose-derived stem cells with DKK1 knocked out using CRISPR/Cas9 promoted hair growth in an alopecia areata model more effectively than untreated stem cells, suggesting DKK1 is a potential therapeutic target for this condition.

In a neonatal rat model, this study found that topical CDK2 inhibitors reduced chemotherapy-induced hair loss in 33 to 50% of the animals, suggesting a potential strategy for preventing alopecia in cancer patients.

This study observed that disrupting the Pnkp gene in adult mice resulted in a premature aging-like phenotype, suggesting PNKP's vital role in maintaining normal growth and survival of certain progenitor cell populations.

This study found that a mutation in the seventh exon of the KRT86 gene plays a major role in the pathogenesis of monilethrix in a Chinese family.

This study found that the truncated hHb1-DeltaN transcript in breast cancer cells is produced by a cryptic intron promoter and responds to DNA demethylation, potentially altering cancer cell adhesion.

A specific gene mutation is linked to a hereditary form of dystonia that responds well to certain medications.

This study identified a cluster of genes on chromosome 17 related to hair keratin-associated proteins, including 37 genes forming seven multigene families, localized in the hair shaft's upper cortex.

This study found that specific SNPs in the CXCL1 and CXCL2 genes may be associated with increased susceptibility to alopecia areata in the Korean population.

This study reports that the monoclonal antibody BKN-1 specifically stained basal cell epithelioma cells and certain normal skin structures, indicating a similarity in keratin expression between the tumor and follicular epithelium below the isthmus portion.

This study reports that the recombinant expression vector pcDNA3.1-KK demonstrates specific expression in the skin of newborn mice.

This study presents the first reported Spanish case of Hypotrichosis with Juvenile Macular Dystrophy, identifying a new CDH3 mutation and highlighting the importance of clinical and genetic evaluation for accurate diagnosis.

This study found that variations in the genes PDCD4, miR-21, and miR-449b may significantly influence breast cancer progression, with higher PDCD4 serum levels linked to increased breastfeeding.

This study found a novel nonsynonymous genetic variant in the hHb1 gene of a family with monilethrix, which differs from ten previously reported pathogenic mutations.
