This study found that the wavy coat trait in Nakano cataract mice is polygenic, involving major and minor genes, and resembles human curly scalp hair associated with the PRSS53 gene alteration.

This study found that impaired TCF/Lef1 signaling in mice leads to significant skin barrier defects due to altered lipid metabolism and epidermal differentiation.

This study found that deleting the Mof gene in mouse skin leads to severe defects in skin cell self-renewal, differentiation, and hair follicle growth, indicating that MOF is crucial for mitochondrial and ciliary gene expression and essential for skin development.

This study found a direct correlation between the testicular feminization gene and decreased androgen receptor activity, potentially explaining the androgen insensitivity in affected individuals.

This study found that NFI-C plays a crucial role in the transition from the telogen to anagen phase of the hair follicle cycle, affecting hair growth initiation in mice.

This study found that the fuzzy mutation in mice is linked to both structural hair defects and accelerated hair follicle cycling, influencing the regulation of hair cycle phases such as catagen and anagen.

This case report identified a 6-month-old girl with congenital generalized hypertrichosis and gingival hyperplasia, where a de novo CNV on chromosome 17q24.2-24.3 was associated with reduced expression of ABCA5 and SOX9.

This review investigates the relationship between certain gene polymorphisms associated with obesity (FTO and MC4R) and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, reporting no new results but suggesting a potential genetic link.

This study found that mice with a mutant CDP/Cux protein lacking the homeodomain showed severely impaired growth, high postnatal mortality, and reduced fertility, highlighting CDP/Cux's role in developmental regulation.

This study identified a new heterozygous missense variant in CST6 associated with autosomal dominant keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans in an Austrian family, affecting epidermal differentiation and hair formation.

This study suggests that inactivation of β-catenin is necessary for chick retina regeneration, as it allows cells to enter the cell cycle during injury and promotes regeneration without needing FGF2.

This study revealed distinct cellular and transcriptomic differences among various subtypes of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, particularly highlighting characteristics unique to folliculotropic mycosis fungoides.

This study identified a germline variant in PLCD1 as a major risk allele for familial trichilemmal cysts, requiring a subsequent somatic mutation in the same allele for cyst formation.

This study found that the L457(3.43)R mutation in the human luteinizing hormone receptor increases phosphodiesterase activity, reducing hormonal response despite elevated basal cAMP levels.

This study suggests that the C-terminal of AHF is crucial for its binding to keratin bundles and modulating the keratin meshwork in hair follicles.

5α-Reductase helps regulate hormone action in toad testes, especially during breeding season.

This study observed that β-catenin overexpression in human squamous cell carcinoma cells led to increased CREB expression, which significantly enhanced clonogenic activity, suggesting CREB as a β-catenin-regulated factor promoting cancer characteristics.

This review discusses the role of the CXXC5 protein as a transcription factor and signaling coordinator, noting its involvement in embryonic development, tissue homeostasis, and diseases such as tumorigenesis, but reports no new experimental findings.

This study reports that a novel frameshift mutation in the HTRA1 gene in a CARASIL pedigree led to reduced HTRA1 protein and increased TGF-β1 expression, potentially causing severe CARASIL and peripheral small arterial disease.

In this study, researchers found that the efflux of calcium in root hairs of Arabidopsis thaliana, particularly through the ER-localized ACA2 and ACA7, is crucial for modulating cytoplasmic calcium signals and enabling proper root hair growth, with disruptions leading to impaired elongation.

This review discusses the role of the TRPV4 channel in both normal and diseased intestinal functions and suggests that targeting TRPV4 may have clinical significance for treating intestinal diseases due to its involvement in intestinal barrier dysfunction.

This study found that upregulation of NFIC may enhance proliferation and osteogenic/cementogenic differentiation in rat dental follicle cells.

This study found that Ift20 is essential for hair follicle stem cell identity and hair regrowth, and it regulates keratinocyte migration during wound healing through focal adhesion integrin recycling, independently of ciliogenesis.

This study found that Fos protein expression is closely linked to epithelial cell differentiation, particularly during cornification and cell death, with overexpression observed in keratinization-blocked mutant epidermis.

This study found that mutant glucocorticoid receptors have defective transcriptional activity and dynamic motility issues in the nucleus, likely due to impaired interactions with nuclear molecules necessary for gene activation.

This review explores the potential role of caveolin-1 in cicatricial alopecia, particularly frontal fibrosing alopecia, and discusses possibilities for targeted therapies without providing new research results.

This study identified a novel SCF mRNA splice variant in white merino sheep skin, which may play a role in hair follicle melanogenesis.

In this study, FCE 28260 showed greater potency than finasteride in inhibiting 5α-reductase enzymes and reducing prostate DHT levels in rats.
