research Haplotypes spanning centromeric regions reveal persistence of large blocks of archaic DNA
This study found that human centromeric regions exhibit large-scale haplotypes with significant diversity, including entire Neanderthal haplotypes, which may affect chromosome transmission.
research Transgenic mouse models support HCR as an effector gene in the PSORS1 locus
This study suggests that the HCR risk allele within the PSORS1 locus may contribute to psoriasis susceptibility by altering gene expression related to skin structure and differentiation, although these changes alone might not result in clinical symptoms.
research The hairless gene mutated in congenital hair loss disorders encodes a novel nuclear receptor corepressor
This study found that the mammalian hairless gene encodes a corepressor protein that interacts with thyroid hormone receptors, providing insights into hair loss syndromes in humans and mice.
research Human Trichohyalin Gene Is Clustered with the Genes for Other Epidermal Structural Proteins and Calcium-Binding Proteins at Chromosomal Locus 1q21
This study demonstrates that the trichohyalin gene is located at chromosomal region 1q21, where several other genes related to epidermal differentiation also map.
research Chrousos syndrome: from molecular pathogenesis to therapeutic management
This review discusses Chrousos syndrome, a rare condition caused by NR 3C1 gene mutations leading to glucocorticoid resistance, and reports no new clinical results; early identification and genetic testing are recommended for diagnosis.
research A novel calmodulin‐interacting Domain of Unknown Function 506 protein represses root hair elongation in Arabidopsis
In this study, the authors reported that AtRXR3, a phosphorus-inducible DUF506 protein, modulates root hair growth under phosphorus stress by interacting with calmodulin and influencing calcium oscillations.
research Association Between Retinoid X Receptor Gene Variants and Dyslipidemia Risk in an Iranian Population
This study found that the rs1128977 SNP in the RXRG gene may be linked to altered clinical characteristics such as higher HDL-cholesterol levels and increased body mass index in individuals with dyslipidemia.
research PRX102 Participates in Root Hairs Tip Growth of Rice
This study found that PRX102, a peroxidase with a unique polar localization pattern, plays a role in root hair growth by aiding the transport of materials to the tips of growing root hairs.
research In situ detection of retinoid-X receptor expression in normal and psoriatic human skin
This study found that RXR-alpha is strongly expressed in both normal and psoriatic human skin, suggesting it may play a role in the transition from proliferation to differentiation in epidermal keratinocytes.
research An essential role for Rxrα in the development of Th2 responses
This study found that a specific mutation in the mouse RXRalpha gene significantly impacts immune responses and causes hair loss and skin cysts.
research Expression of retinoid-X receptors (-Æ,-a,-a) and retinoic acid receptors (-Æ,-a,-a) in normal human skin: an immunohistological evaluation
This study found that RXR and RAR proteins were detectable in normal human skin, suggesting they may play a role in epidermal cell differentiation and hair and gland physiology.
research Collagen triple helix repeat containing-1 promotes functional recovery of sweat glands by inducing adjacent microvascular network reconstruction in vivo
This study found that CTHRC1 is crucial for sweat gland function and vascular network integrity in mice, and its administration improved sweat gland performance by reconstructing nearby blood vessels.
research A homozygous single T deletion found in the GGCX gene with PXE-like phenotypes
This study reports a case of GGCX syndrome in a 55-year-old Japanese male, characterized by PXE-like symptoms and coagulation deficiency, with an unreported phenotype of possible spinocerebellar degeneration.
research Hairless: A nuclear receptor corepressor essential for skin function
This review discusses the roles of the hairless (HR) protein as a corepressor, particularly its impact on RORα-mediated transcriptional repression, and reports no new experimental findings.
research Skin regional specification and higher-order HoxC regulation
This study found that the unique crest feather formation in Polish chickens is driven by a 195-bp duplication in the HoxC10 gene region, which alters gene expression by modifying the genomic structure, suggesting a mechanism for diverse integumentary appendages in birds.
research Primary Generalized Glucocorticoid Resistance or Chrousos Syndrome: Allostasis Through a Mutated Glucocorticoid Receptor
This review examines the clinical features, causes, diagnosis, and treatment of Chrousos syndrome but reports no new experimental findings on this condition.
research Hox demarcates regional regeneration of adult hair follicle stem cells
Hox genes control hair follicle stem cell regeneration in different body regions.
research Molecular and functional aspects of the hairless (hr) gene in laboratory rodents and humans
This review provides an overview of the hairless gene in mice and humans, discussing its structure, expression, and implications for understanding skin physiology and human disorders related to gene disruption, but it reports no new empirical findings.
research The abnormal, mis-localizated HR bmh protein associates with members of the protein processing machinery in the cytoplasm
This study found that the mutant hairless rhino bald protein in mice interacts with the vitamin D receptor but cannot repress its transactivation and shows abnormal cellular localization.
research Identification of the Rat Rex Mutation as a 7-bp Deletion at Splicing Acceptor Site of the Krt71 Gene
This study identified a mutation in the keratin 71 gene that causes curly hair in certain rats, advancing our understanding of hair formation.
