This study found that a new method using enzymatic laundry powder effectively extracts DNA from hair shafts, showing promise for genome-wide DNA analyses.

This study found that specific gene expressions during different stages of hair follicle development in Merino sheep are linked to wool-related traits, and may also be relevant to human skin, metabolic, and immune traits.

This study found significant variation in tissue mutant load in individuals with the T8993G mutation, which complicates genetic counseling and may inform genotype-phenotype correlations, especially using hair bulb mtDNA analysis.

This study sequenced and analyzed the goat skin transcriptome, revealing genes involved in signal transduction and cell communication that are differentially expressed during hair growth phases, providing insights for Cashmere goat breeding.

This review discusses various methods for processing and separating human skin samples for research purposes, evaluating factors like processing time and cell viability, but reports no new experimental findings.

This study suggests that the structural integrity and physical proximity of Whn's DNA binding and activation domains are crucial for hair keratin gene activation and may explain the nude phenotype.

This article argues that lineage labeling with genetic markers is the gold standard for identifying epithelial stem cells, contrary to the view that in vitro methods alone are sufficient.

This case report from Qatar highlights the failure of traditional diagnostic approaches in a young woman with severe hair loss, emphasizing the potential benefits of DNA-guided nutrigenomics and the importance of compassionate communication in addressing psychosocial distress.

In this in vitro study, pretreatment with Dead Sea water and saline magnetized water reduced UVB-induced DNA damage and inflammation markers in human keratinocyte cells, primarily through autophagy activation, suggesting potential use in topical products to prevent skin damage from UV exposure.

This study investigated the use of spironolactone in patients with estrogen-dependent cancers, aiming to determine if it is linked to increased cancer recurrence risk, but results are not reported.

This study identified specific genes that are more abundantly expressed in black hair than in gray hair, with black hair displaying higher expression of pigment-related proteins and gray hair showing increased expression of keratin-related genes.

This study found that high exposure to air pollutants like SO2, NO, NO2, NOx, and PM2.5 was linked to a significantly increased risk of developing PCOS in women.

Researchers found a gene mutation responsible for a rare hair loss condition.

This study found that wire brush hair snares collected the most hair from Eurasian Lynx in controlled enclosures, suggesting potential for sampling genetic material from similar felid species.

This review discusses various forensic applications of hair analysis, such as species identification and drug addiction testing, and reports no new study results.

In this study, DNA analysis of patients with androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata indicated potential differences in treatment response based on genetic makeup across Romanian and Brazilian populations, notably involving genes like GR-alpha and SULT1A1, which may guide personalized treatment strategies.

This study evaluated genetic differences in hair loss patients from Romania and Brazil, finding that specific gene variations were more common in Brazilian patients. The researchers suggest certain drugs may be more effective based on these genetic markers, but most genes showed no population differences.

This review discusses the integration of omics analyses in androgenetic alopecia research, reporting no new clinical results but suggesting that collaborative multi-omics studies may enhance understanding of AGA's pathomechanisms.

This study highlights the need for a comprehensive andrological assessment at diagnosis, including semen and hormonal analysis, to guide fertility preservation strategies, and found that post-orchidectomy semen samples showed improved DNA integrity for assisted reproductive technologies.

This study confirmed linkage of Clouston syndrome in a large Indian family to the 13q11-12.1 region, suggesting it shares a genetic basis with French Canadian cases.

This case report highlights a novel NR5A1 gene variant associated with a severe 46,XY disorder of sex development, stressing the importance of genetic screening in similar cases.

The study found that sonication washing of hair roots with fewer than 50 visible nuclei could reduce the number of nuclei available for DNA extraction and STR typing, suggesting that for laboratories focused on nuDNA analysis, a gentler washing method might be adequate.

This study found that ginsenoside Rg3 up-regulates vascular endothelial growth factor expression in human dermal papilla cells and mouse hair follicles, suggesting its potential role in promoting hair growth.

This study reports that the near-naked hairless mutation in mice is not an allele of the Hairless gene but may involve a mutation in a linked gene or a regulatory mutation.

This study found that gene expression changes in hair bulb cells are linked to graying hair, affecting processes like melanogenesis and cell-cell interaction.

This research identified fluphenazine as a novel agent that induced hair growth in mice, with iloprost further enhancing this effect, through gene expression analysis and connectivity mapping.

This review discusses the role of hair follicle bacterial colonization in immune responses and the pathogenesis of alopecia but reports no new clinical results.

This study concluded that the process of mummification disfigures facial features, making identification challenging, but commercial shrunken heads retain more defining features compared to ceremonial ones.

This review presents the practice of using hair bioelement analysis to assess nutritional status or environmental exposure, proposing complex interactions and hypotheses regarding depression and autism but reports no new clinical results.

This case report describes a patient with primary cutaneous natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type, where monoclonal Epstein–Barr virus genome expansion was associated with terminal aggressive behavior after an indolent clinical course.
