This study identified a genetic variant in the SGK3 gene related to hairlessness in Scottish Deerhounds, suggesting a similar role for androgen-independent hair loss in humans.

This study found that Cutl1 mutant mice experienced retarded lung differentiation and abnormal hair follicle morphogenesis, indicating the vital role of CDP in lung development and hair follicle cell-lineage specification.

This study found that IL-7 is crucial for the survival of memory regulatory T cells in the skin of mice, whereas IL-2 is essential for their initial generation but not for their maintenance.

In a keratinocyte-specific knockout mouse model, this study found that deleting GRK2 disrupted hair follicle homeostasis, causing cyst-like structures, abnormal growth patterns, and eventual hair loss, suggesting potential links to immune-mediated alopecias.

This study reviews the mechanisms by which SARS-CoV-2 may impact male fertility, noting potential disruptions in spermatogenesis and hormone secretion, and underscores the need for follow-up in recovered men.

This review discusses the roles and mechanisms of chromatin remodelers and their subunits in mammalian development, but reports no new experimental results.

This study found that the HoxC gene cluster plays a critical role in the development of ectodermal organs, including hair and nails, with mammalian-specific enhancers increasing transcription levels during development.

This study demonstrates that Rac1 activity is essential for normal hair follicle formation but influences hair structure and pigmentation, in terminal differentiation, through alterations in hair shaft, cuticle, and pigmentation organization.

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 review discusses the various skin changes, pregnancy-specific dermatoses, and medication management related to dermatologic health during pregnancy, aiming to provide clinicians with an evidence-based guide for diagnosis and treatment.

Genetic factors affecting skin health and body weight may increase the risk of dermatophytosis.

This study found that back skin mesenchyme from mouse embryos can induce hair follicle formation even before dermal condensate formation, but R-spondin-1 alone or with a Bmp receptor inhibitor was not sufficient for hair follicle induction.

This study found that distinct spiny hair morphologies in rodents arose independently multiple times but did not link the Ecdysoplasin A receptor gene mutation that affects human hair to these variations.

This article reviews the pathogenesis, genetic basis, and recent treatment breakthroughs for androgenetic alopecia but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that parents of women with PCOS have a higher prevalence of insulin resistance and Type II diabetes than parents of healthy women.

This review summarizes recent genetic research on hidradenitis suppurativa, highlighting potential therapeutic targets and genetic mutations, but reports no new clinical findings.

This article reviews two cases of monilethrix in siblings, detailing their clinical and dermatoscopic characteristics, but reports no new findings.

This article discusses the rationale, design, and significant findings of the long-running Rotterdam Study but reports no new clinical results.

This article outlines the rationale, design, major findings, and updated objectives of the ongoing Rotterdam Study, without presenting new research data.

Skin stem cells maintain and repair the outer layer of skin, with some types being essential for healing wounds.

This article discusses the MendelVar webserver, which integrates Mendelian disease data with GWAS findings to prioritize candidate genes for complex traits and reports no new experimental results.

This study found that specific genetic variations in the IRF2BP2 gene influence fleece structure in sheep, with one variant completely determining coat type and another significantly modifying fiber characteristics, providing valuable insights for improving fleece quality through selective breeding.

Keratins are crucial for cell structure, growth, and disease risk.

This review discusses various stem cell compartments in adult murine and human epidermis, examining their expressed markers and characterization assays, and reports no new experimental results.

This study found that deleting the miRNA processing enzymes Drosha and Dicer from mouse skin epithelial cells disrupted normal hair follicle development and maintenance, leading to follicular degradation and stem cell loss during the growth phase.

This study found that the VEGF +405G/C polymorphism may be an inheritable risk factor for polycystic ovary syndrome in south Indian women.

This study found that Piezo2 channels are primarily located on sensory axon membranes in mechanosensory end organs, supporting a model where mechanical stimuli activate Aβ RA-LTMR neurons via axon protrusions.

This study explored professionals' insights on eyebrow transplantation, finding that while the procedure can enhance appearance and confidence, it also carries risks such as potential complications and costs, emphasizing the need for thorough pre-operative consultations.

This study identified pathogenic or likely pathogenic gene variants in 70.1% of Russian families affected by hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, expanding knowledge of causative mutations.

This review describes the genetic and phenotypic diversity of Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome, highlighting new DCAF17 gene variants and their varying clinical implications.
