This study identified a novel homozygous EDNRA variant linked to Oro-Oto-Cardiac Syndrome and showed that EDNRA signaling is essential for normal craniofacial and cardiovascular development.

This study found that JunB, a transcription factor, is crucial for maintaining epidermal-pilosebaceous stem cell homeostasis by regulating progenitor cell behavior and preventing sebaceous gland dysfunction.

This study found that maternal PPARγ is essential for preventing the production of inflammatory lipids in mouse milk, which can otherwise cause inflammation, alopecia, and growth retardation in nursing pups.

This study found that the microRNA miR-22 is a key regulator of the hair cycle, influencing hair loss by promoting the transition from growth to rest phases and repressing keratinocyte differentiation.

This study found that STAT5 activation in the dermal papilla acts as a key switch to trigger anagen entry in postdevelopmental hair follicle cycling.

FGF18 controls hair growth rest phase.

This article reviews the structure and regulation of the ITGB6 gene and discusses its role in integrin αvβ6 expression, with no new experimental results reported.

This study found that disrupting Sox21 in developing teeth leads to severe enamel hypoplasia, regional osteoporosis, and abnormal hair formation, with impaired dental epithelial differentiation and regulation of hair follicle cell fate.

This review discusses the roles of store-operated Ca 2+ entry proteins in skin cell function and their links to various skin diseases, but it reports no new results.

The researchers reported finding a recessive nonsense variant in the EGFR gene responsible for perinatal lethality in the "Blonde d'Aquitaine" cattle breed, prompting the development of a screening test to help eradicate this genetic flaw.

This review summarizes recent research on the molecular properties and functions of L-PGDS and PGD2, but reports no new findings, highlighting their pathophysiological roles and guiding future studies.

This study found that the PP2A-B55α regulatory subunit is crucial for ectodermal development in mice, with knockout embryos displaying severe neural and epidermal defects and failing to survive to birth.

This study found that OM-X® supplementation effectively prevented adverse biological changes caused by vitamin C deficiency in SMP30/GNL KO mice, improving energy maintenance, antioxidant capacity, and protein synthesis.

This study found that premature hair loss due to stress does not occur in NK-1 receptor knockout or mast cell deficient mice, suggesting a key role for neurokinin substance P and mast cell interaction in stress-related hair follicle changes.

This study found that reducing HDAC1 activity in the skin of mice led to defects in hair follicle structure and pigmentation, highlighting HDAC's role in skin and hair maintenance.

This review summarizes how genetic studies using conditional β-catenin loss- and gain-of-function mice have advanced understanding of canonical Wnt signaling's role in embryonic development, adult stem cell maintenance, and cancer modeling.

This study found that mice lacking the Vitamin D receptor showed disrupted hair follicle cycling, which was partially restored with hedgehog signaling pathway activation, suggesting a role for this pathway in follicle regulation independent of vitamin D.

This study found that progesterone's antiseizure effects in mice occurred primarily through conversion to allopregnanolone, rather than through the progesterone receptor, as evidenced by results in PR knockout mice.

This study found that dual inhibition of BACE1 and BACE2 in mice affects melanosome maturation and causes dose-dependent hair depigmentation without altering retinal morphology.

This study found that IL-6 knockout mice exhibited increased wound-induced hair neogenesis compared to wild-type mice, likely due to enhanced STAT3 activation facilitated by compensatory cytokine activity.

This study found that knocking out STAT5 expression in specific mouse hair follicles after tamoxifen treatment initiated uniform hair growth, highlighting STAT5's role in regulating the hair growth cycle.

This study found that vitamin C deficiency in SMP-30/GNL-KO mice affected gene expression related to hair growth and cell growth, resulting in delayed hair growth compared to those with adequate vitamin C.

In this study, researchers found that inhibiting inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) promoted hair growth in diabetic mice, suggesting iNOS-derived nitric oxide contributes to hair loss under diabetic inflammatory conditions.

This study found that mice lacking myelin protein zero-like 3 (Mpzl3) had reduced body weight and adiposity despite increased food intake, which was linked to higher energy expenditure and improved glycemic control.

This study observed that mice with a whole-body deficiency of Cystathionine-β-synthase developed severe hyperhomocysteinemia and related mild symptoms without increased mortality, indicating HHCy may not directly cause end organ damage.

IL-1 receptor absence in mice leads to skin cysts and changes in immune response after UVB exposure.

This study found that alopecia in VDR-null mice persists despite undetectable vitamin D levels, indicating a defect in epithelial-mesenchymal communication due to the absence of ligand-independent receptor function.

This study found that biallelic LSS mutations lead to congenital hypotrichosis and cataracts, with each tissue-specific loss of function observed in mouse models.

In this study using mouse models, researchers found that elevated IL-17a in aged olfactory epithelium impairs olfactory function, while IL-17a inhibition promotes regeneration and mitigates age-related decline.

This study found that progesterone and its metabolite, allopregnanolone, provided anti-anxiety and anti-depressive effects in female mice, potentially independent of nuclear progestin receptors but requiring 5α-reduction and estradiol's influence on brain-derived neurotrophic factor.
