This study identified the FGF5:c.578C>T variant as linked to long hair in Akitas in Japan and suggests that genetic testing could help improve their breeding practices and welfare.

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.

Alloxan diabetes, methylthiouracil, cortisone, and adrenaline affect how white mice hair follicles use glucose and cystine and their cell division.

This study established a murine chronic graft-versus-host disease model with scleroderma features, showing typical skin changes and cellular infiltrates associated with the condition.

This study suggests that the DNMT3B -579 G>T polymorphism may be a genetic risk factor for colorectal cancer in the Azerbaijani population.

This review discusses five genetic fate mapping methods used to study cell behaviors during development and regeneration, detailing the necessary tools and considerations without reporting new experimental results.

This study found that CTCF is crucial for proper skin and hair follicle development in mice, affecting keratinocyte differentiation and gene expression in keratin loci.

This study observed significant differences in hair and cashmere properties among three goat breeds in Southwest China, noting better quality cashmere in Inner Mongolia cashmere goats and their crossbreed compared to Dazu black goats.

This report documents a 14-year-old Chinese boy with mitochondrial encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, stroke-like episodes, and a de novo A3243G mitochondrial DNA mutation, highlighting the condition's multisystem involvement without ragged red fibers in muscle biopsy.

This study observed that post-surgical use of chlorhexidine digluconate mouth rinse in patients may induce a fibrotic transformation in gingival tissue, promoting a scar-like wound healing response.

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.

In this study, the researchers using Shh-GFP^+/- mice found that cyclophosphamide-induced alopecia involves the JAK/STAT1 pathway, where STAT1 binds the Shh gene promoter, decreasing Shh-expressing cells in hair follicles. Treatment with JAK inhibitors helped rescue hair loss, implicating the JAK/STAT1 pathway in this process.

This proof-of-concept study reported that a new, ultra-fast, one-step immunohistochemistry method improved the interpretation of Mohs surgery slides, particularly for poorly differentiated tumors.

This study found no significant difference in CAG repeat numbers of the androgen receptor gene between Han Chinese women with female pattern hair loss and healthy controls, suggesting it may not be a genetic marker for FPHL in this population.

TICE salvage chemotherapy is effective for treating germ-cell tumors with poor prognosis.

In this study, compound glycyrrhizin promoted hair regrowth in a testosterone-induced alopecia mouse model and increased human hair dermal papilla cell proliferation, likely through activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

This study observed that MAA beads improved vascularization in non-diabetic male mice by modulating the Shh signaling pathway in wound granulation tissue, but showed no such effects in females.

In this study, a novel DCAF17 gene mutation was identified in a Chinese family, suggesting a potential role in pancreatic β cell dysfunction and diabetes development in Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome.

This study found that the combination of Stemoxydine® and Resveratrol improved hair density in women with Female Pattern Hair Loss.

This study investigated nanocomposite scaffolds made from alginate, chitosan, and graphene oxide to promote the proliferation of spermatogonial stem cells, finding the ALGCS/GO30 scaffold to be particularly effective due to increased proliferation markers and PLZF protein expression compared to controls.

This study identified a new genotype, V281+I172N/V281L, linked to non-classical 21-hydroxylase deficiency, suggesting it should be considered in genetic panels for the condition.

This case report describes a 12-year-old boy with severe skin scaling due to novel compound heterozygous null truncation mutations in the TGM1 gene, resulting in loss of transglutaminase 1 activity.

This case report presents the first Russian patient with Meier-Gorlin syndrome 5, expanding clinical understanding through the identification of two novel CDC6 gene variants.

In this study, the researchers observed that higher expression of the Sonic hedgehog gene in cashmere goats' hair follicle cycles is associated with increased cell proliferation and reduced apoptosis, suggesting its role in enhancing cashmere quality.

This study found that the K6/ODC transgenic mouse model is highly sensitive to identifying genotoxic carcinogens, showing 100% concordance with traditional rodent bioassays.

This study identified a genetic locus associated with rhabdomyosarcoma susceptibility in mice and found that specific differentiation markers are linked to the regression of basal cell carcinoma.

This article provides an introduction to gender-affirming hormone therapy for transgender and gender-nonbinary patients, designed as a continuing education activity, but does not report new clinical results.

This study observed that gender-affirming hormone therapy differentially affects metabolism in mice, with the specific metabolic impacts dependent on the type of hormonal treatment used.

This study found that mice with a disrupted TGFα gene display a curly whisker-coat phenotype, similar to waved-1 mice, suggesting TGFα's crucial role in skin architecture and hair development.

This study found that CRISPR/Cas9-mediated disruption of the FGF5 gene in goats increased hair follicle numbers and fiber length, suggesting more cashmere production could be achieved.
