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.

This study developed a mouse model to monitor hair follicle cycling macroscopically through live bioluminescence imaging, enabling detailed analysis of hair cycle and propagation dynamics influenced by environmental factors.

This study found that primary stem cells from concentrated growth factor can differentiate into adipogenic, endothelial, and neuronal lineages in vitro, suggesting potential for use in regenerative therapies.

This study showed that a 2-kilobase upstream region of the mouse keratin 17 gene enables targeted GFP expression in major epithelial appendages of transgenic mice, indicating sonic hedgehog's involvement in its regulation.

This study found that deleting the CD98hc protein in mouse skin impairs wound healing and homeostasis, resembling aging effects, due to disrupted integrin signaling pathways.

This study found that a lower number of GGC sequences in the androgen receptor gene was associated with better clinical response to finasteride in male androgenetic alopecia patients.

CCCA in women of African ancestry may be caused by PADI3 gene mutations and intense hair grooming.

This study suggests that the activation of box A in mesenchymal cell models may enhance stem cell properties, increasing the expression of stemness markers like OCT4, NANOG, and SOX2.

This study concluded that allele-specific PCR (AS-PCR) is more reliable than tetra-primer ARMS-PCR for genotyping the SNP rs1998076 due to better stability and interpretability.

This study found that loss of the Ptch2 receptor in mice leads to increased incisor growth and enhanced mesenchymal stem cell differentiation, highlighting Ptch2's role in organ regenerative potential.

This study found that glycylglycine treatment improved hair softness by enhancing hair alignment and altering internal fiber properties among Japanese women with typically coarse hair.

This case report highlights that women with nonclassical congenital adrenal hyperplasia should be aware of the risk of having a child with classical CAH if their partner also carries a severe mutation.

This study found that the novel culture condition gHFEM, which includes Y-27632 and bFGF, optimally promotes the proliferation and pluripotency of goat hair follicle stem cells in vitro.

This review discusses how the HSD3B1(1245C) genotype may impact androgen physiology and the progression of castration-resistant prostate cancer, and does not report new experimental results.

This study reports that a homozygous A1103G mutation in DSG 4 is responsible for localized autosomal recessive hypotrichosis in a 2-year-old Chinese girl, resulting in reduced DSG 4 expression and hair defects.

In this study, a Chinese Han family with hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets was found to have a homozygous missense mutation in the VDR gene, and the affected individual uniquely responded well to treatment with oral calcium and low-dose calcitriol.

This study demonstrated that elevated glucocorticoid levels in transgenic mice led to pancreatic exocrine cells transforming into hepatocyte-like cells, resulting in pancreatic dysfunction.

This study identified 4,942 differentially expressed genes between Jiangnan cashmere goats and Changthangi pashmina goats, mainly involving the PI3K-Akt pathway, with 24 key genes potentially affecting cashmere quality, offering insights for future genetic improvements.

This study identified a 195 bp duplication in crested chickens that causes large crest feathers and can be associated with cerebral hernia in some breeds, but not all.

This study identified 4,942 differentially expressed genes between Jiangnan cashmere goats and Changthangi pashmina goats, enriching pathways like PI3K-Akt and thermogenesis, which may influence cashmere fiber quality, offering insights for their genetic improvement.

In this study, injecting chimeric RNA–DNA oligonucleotides into mice skin caused a temporary mutation in keratin 17, altering hair morphology, but the mutation was transient due to genetic compensation or cell replacement.

This study found that a single application of TCDD on the skin of hairless mice altered epidermal differentiation, changing keratin expression patterns similarly to a known tumor promoter.

In this study of four Chinese goat breeds, black goats exhibited significantly higher melanin content, while Inner Mongolian cashmere goats had longer fiber lengths. These findings highlight genetic variations in coat color and fiber length, informing future breeding programs.

Hair shaft changes may be linked to CCCA, but their role is unclear.

This study found that Hoxc13 gene expression, influenced by melatonin, was associated with hair follicle activity in Cashmere goats, with in vitro evidence suggesting effects on genes relevant to follicle development.

This study found that administering calcium blockers verapamil or nimodipine significantly preserved auditory function and hair cell survival in Cx26-cKO mice, suggesting potential protective effects for other inner ear disorders.

This study found that downregulation of Sonic hedgehog signaling may promote HPV replication and wart formation by inducing cell cycle arrest in keratinocytes.

This study found that a young male Maine Coon cat with a tortoiseshell coat, which typically indicates unusual sex chromosomes, was fertile, carrying both XX and XY cell lines. The researchers recommend genetic testing for tri-colored male cats before breeding decisions.
