This study evaluated skin and hair color variations in different mouse strains, highlighting the association between hair cycle stages and skin pigmentation to better understand these features and their implications.

This study found that the absence of the vitamin D receptor disrupts hair follicle structure during the first catagen in mice, linked to increased expression of the hairless gene.

This study found that while most mice lacking MK6a and MK6b genes died from tongue epithelium disintegration, about 25% survived and showed no hair or nail defects due to a newly discovered MK6hf gene.

This paper highlights advances in Developmental Dynamics, noting how epoa-deficient zebrafish can model Diamond-Blackfan anemia like disorders for drug screening, Alx4 mouse models offer insights into craniofacial development, and mTORC1 signaling is crucial for retinal development.

This study found that hairless mice with homozygous mutations developed significantly more aggressive basal cell carcinomas and a heightened inflammatory response to UVB exposure compared to their haired littermates.

This study in mice found that a zinc-deficient diet suppressed body weight gain and increased kidney and cecum tissue weight without decreasing serum alkaline phosphatase activity. Additionally, zinc deficiency caused alopecia and intestinal changes in C57BL/6J mice, potentially affecting nutritional status.

This study found that the Lim-homeodomain transcription factor Lhx2 regulates Sonic Hedgehog signaling during early retinal neurogenesis in mice by controlling the expression of pathway genes in retinal progenitor cells.

This study in mutant mice found that Bmpr2 and Acvr2a are individually redundant, but together essential for normal hair follicle development, with their reduction causing rapid hair cycling and graying.

In this study, D6D knockout mice showed severe deficiency in AA and DHA, leading to unexpected effects on skin health, fertility, and immune cell development.

This study reports the development of the first rodent model for androgenetic alopecia, demonstrating that overexpression of androgen receptors in mice delays hair regeneration and can be used to test new treatments.

This review discusses phenotypic differences in testosterone production between mice and humans with HSD17B3 deficiency and reports no new findings; the authors highlight potential pathways and enzymes involved in testosterone synthesis.

In this study using mice, simultaneous deficiencies in claudin-1 and claudin-3 were associated with hair loss and altered hair follicle architecture during the telogen phase, suggesting a role in hair retention.

This study showed that knocking out the Ppp2ca gene in the epidermis of mice led to significant hair loss and disrupted hair follicle morphogenesis and regeneration.

This study concluded that the frizzy mutation in mice is linked to a T to A transversion in Prss8 and is orthologous to the 'hairless' mutation in rats.

This study describes a novel hairless mutant rat strain, F344-Hr(krh), developed via ENU mutagenesis, which provides a model for skin disease and potentially focal glomerulosclerosis due to specific genetic mutations.

In this study, brindled mutant mice with clinical features similar to kinky hair syndrome showed marked improvement and prevention of neuronal degeneration after receiving cupric chloride injections, with timing of administration being crucial.

This study found that the absence of unliganded vitamin D receptor significantly impairs cWnt and hedgehog signaling pathways necessary for hair cycle initiation in VDR-null mice.

This study found that pelage abnormalities in Harlequin mutant mice are linked to severe AIF deficiency and associated with altered expression of genes related to hair structure.

This study found that modulating BMP activity in transgenic mice affects the development and characteristics of several ectodermal organs, such as skin, hair, and claws, highlighting a stage-dependent influence on organogenesis.

The study reported that mice receiving dynamized Melatonin 6 cH and Lissotriton 6 cH for 14 days exhibited improved coat health and increased endurance in forced swimming tests, with Melatonin-treated mice swimming 2.5 times longer and Lissotriton-treated mice 4 times longer than controls.

This study observed that K5Cre +/+ transgenic mice develop a distinct phenotype characterized by wavy hair, curly whiskers, and an increased rate of papilloma malignant transformation.

In this study, the researchers reported that altering β-catenin signaling in a transgenic mouse model led to changes in skin cell fate, notably converting hair follicle cells into epidermal cells and forming cysts instead of follicles.

In this study, transgenic mice altered to express a Clim-inhibiting molecule under a keratin promoter showed corneal degradation and hair follicle failure, highlighting Clim proteins' role in maintaining these tissues.

This study observed that, contrary to common belief, aged Balb/C mice showed better wound healing than younger mice despite greater weight loss, possibly due to increased T regulatory cells.

This study found that Fgf5 mutant mice exhibited longer hair, particularly in males, likely due to a prolonged anagen phase in the hair cycle.

In this study, a methanol extract of Eclipta alba was found to have dose-dependent hair growth-promoting activity in C57BL6 mice.

This study found that the loss of a functional hr gene in mice leads to premature and abnormal hair follicle regression, disrupting normal hair cycling and architecture.
