In this study, treatment with DHEA induced mild to moderate hyperplasia of sebaceous glands in ovariectomized rats, which was prevented by the antiandrogen Flutamide but not by the antiestrogen EM-800.

This study in mice found that WWP2 facilitates odontoblast differentiation and dentin formation by targeting PTEN for degradation, thereby enhancing KLF5 activity, which may suggest its crucial role in dental development.

This study found that CTIP2 is highly expressed in mouse skin during embryogenesis and adulthood, suggesting it may play a role in skin development and homeostasis.

This study found that 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3/VDR inhibits β-catenin's role in keratinocyte proliferation but enhances its role in hair follicle differentiation.

This report describes a novel mutation in the CDH3 gene in an 11-year-old Iranian boy with hypotrichosis and juvenile macular dystrophy, indicating a new genetic variant associated with the disorder.

This study sequenced a related gene to KRT2.9 called KRT2.13, which encodes a type II keratin protein not expressed in the hair follicle, and found significant sequence homology suggesting possible gene conversion or conservation of functional sequences.

This study observed that 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 restored rickets symptoms in genetically modified rats, suggesting its direct action through vitamin D receptor pathways.

This study found that overexpression of a mutated ornithine decarboxylase transgene in mice led to complete hair loss, which could be prevented or reversed with an ODC inhibitor.

In this study, no significant change in androgen receptor gene expression was found in females with recurrent spontaneous abortion, but a mutant genotype may offer some protection against the condition.

In this study, baricitinib was evaluated for its effectiveness in promoting concurrent regrowth of scalp hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes in patients with severe alopecia areata, showing clinically meaningful responses compared to placebo.

This study found that elevated tissue RBP4 levels correlate with disease severity in alopecia areata and decrease after effective baricitinib treatment, while the rs3758539 polymorphism is linked to disease susceptibility but not to treatment response.

This quiz presents educational questions about alopecia areata, including its diagnosis and underlying mechanisms, but reports no new clinical outcomes.

This study found that two unrelated domestic shorthair cats had novel DSG4 gene mutations causing defective hair shafts, representing the first report of pathogenic DSG4 variants in domestic animals.

This study found that SSEA-4 is a marker that distinguishes eccrine from apocrine ductal cells in human sweat glands, suggesting its potential use in diagnostic applications.

This study found that DHHC13 is crucial for hair anchoring and skin barrier function, with its deficiency in Zdhhc13(skc4) mice leading to cyclic alopecia and skin abnormalities due to cornifelin deficiencies.

This study found that LDE225, a novel Smo antagonist, shows potential as a topical treatment for basal cell carcinoma due to its high affinity binding and effective inhibition of tumor growth in preclinical models.

This study found that specific polymorphisms in the VDR gene, Taq1, and Cdx1, were significantly associated with increased risk of chronic telogen effluvium in women.

This study identified a 582-bp deletion upstream of LHX2 in cashmere goats, likely linked to hair follicle development and cashmere production, providing insights into genetic factors in cashmere trait selection.

This study identified a new FAK isoform, FAKΔe4, which is regulated by ECM stiffness and affects cell migration, invasion, and mechanosensing in human-derived data and engineered models.

This study found that skin exposure to toluene diisocyanate in mice creates immune-recognition reservoirs in the skin's stratum corneum and hair follicles, potentially leading to sensitization and allergic reactions.

In this study, neoadjuvant treatment with durvalumab combined with albumin-bound paclitaxel and carboplatin in patients with driver gene-negative stage III NSCLC showed a 65% objective response rate and was associated with high pathological response rates and improved immune function, with most adverse events being mild.

This study found that the Gsdma3 gene is necessary for normal hair follicle differentiation in mice, with its mutation leading to progressive hair loss and defects in hair structure.

This study shows that BMP2 and BMP7 play complex, necessary roles in feather development by regulating dermal condensation formation, with BMP7 acting early as a chemoattractant and BMP2 halting cell migration.

This study found that nerve-mediated HDAC1 expression is necessary for blastema formation and limb regeneration in axolotls, and that inhibiting HDACs delays or inhibits this process.

This study found that the transcription factor HB24 plays a critical role in root hair elongation in Arabidopsis thaliana by promoting the conversion of indole-3-butyric acid to indole-3-acetic acid through regulation of IBR1 expression.

This study provides the first crystal structure of the human SRD5A2 enzyme, revealing key insights into its function and inhibition which may aid future drug development.

This study characterized the intron-exon organization of human keratin 15 and keratin 19 genes to aid future mutation detection analyses related to potential genetic disorders of keratinization.

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 case report describes a 44-year-old patient with late-onset partial lipodystrophy, mental retardation, epilepsy, ichthyosis, and glomerulonephritis, linked to a 10 Mb duplication of chromosome region 5q31.3-5q32.1.

This research suggests that the barley protein RACB supports cell polarity functions rather than interfering with immunity, as it aids nucleus positioning during fungal attack rather than affecting early immune responses.
