This study found that a novel missense mutation in the vitamin D receptor caused hereditary 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-resistant rickets with alopecia by disrupting protein function, highlighting the importance of DNA binding in hair development.

This review highlights that microscopic analysis of human scalp hair remains crucial in forensic science for crime scene investigations, despite limitations such as subjectivity and potential misidentification, and notes that integrating DNA analysis and digital imaging could enhance accuracy.

This study suggests that degraded human hair shafts are highly resistant to contamination by exogenous DNA, making them a valuable source for forensic and ancient DNA analysis.

In this study, researchers identified a putative ovine KAP24-1 gene in sheep, revealing four unique DNA sequences with some similarity to KRTAP24-1 sequences from other species.

This pilot study found that night shift workers showed fewer signs of wrinkle formation compared to day workers, but there were no significant differences in DNA amplification or collagen percentage.

This case report describes an 8 cm giant pilomatricoma on a 67-year-old man's scalp, revealing distinct transcriptional patterns related to hair follicle factors and keratin through spatial gene expression analysis.

This study identified that the ND1 gene sequence of the Asian black bear's Sichuan subspecies shares high similarity with those of other bear species, raccoons, and Ailurus fulgens.

This review discusses current research on epigenetic changes in autoimmune skin diseases like vitiligo and alopecia areata, noting that the field is still developing and lacks extensive analysis.

This review highlights the potential for using the Y chromosome in epigenetic analyses to better understand male-specific aging and disease mechanisms.

In this study, researchers found that massively parallel sequencing of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) can improve information recovery from forensic samples, with successful full region amplification possible from as few as 2,000 mtDNA copies, albeit with variability in heteroplasmy among hair samples from the same donor.

This study found evidence of increased DNA methylation of the androgen receptor gene in occipital hair follicles from men with androgenetic alopecia.

In this study, feeding Gymnocypris eckloni with Flammulina velutipes residues enhanced foregut morphology and beneficially altered gut microbiota, highlighting potential improvements in intestinal health for aquaculture use.

This study investigated the secretome of adipose mesenchymal stem cells and fibroblasts used in skin care products, finding 16 therapeutic pathways involving numerous signaling mechanisms, which may offer skin benefits through anti-inflammatory and regenerative effects.

This paper discusses methods for distinguishing viable microbial communities in hair follicle dysbiosis studies and reports no new clinical results, suggesting potential improvements in sample analysis.

In this study using C57BL/6 mice, the researchers observed that combining minoxidil with exosomes and DNA polynucleotides improved hair follicle density and promoted gene expression linked to hair growth, suggesting enhanced hair growth potential over minoxidil alone.

In this study, researchers found that the loss of SETDB1 in epidermal keratinocytes led to altered chromatin states, increased ERV expression, and activation of immune responses, while inhibiting these effects with certain antiviral drugs reduced skin inflammation and hair loss in a mouse model.

This study found that deleting all three Tet genes in mice led to shorter hair shafts and altered hair types, with associated changes in gene expression and DNA hydroxymethylation.

This review highlights how the development of forensic DNA phenotyping systems like IrisPlex, HIrisPlex, and HIrisPlex-S has advanced criminal investigation by accurately predicting physical traits such as eye, hair, and skin color from DNA, thereby improving the precision and relevance of forensic applications.

This research highlights significant advancements in forensic DNA phenotyping, enabling predictions of physical traits, ancestry, and age from crime scene DNA, but notes that further research and validation are needed for greater accuracy and reliability.

This study found that somatic mosaic mutations in the doublecortin gene may cause subcortical band heterotopia in male patients, and molecular analysis using hair roots is a useful detection method.

This chapter reviews surface plasmon resonance (SPR) methodology and its applications in basic science and human disease without reporting new clinical results.

This study found that eyebrow follicles, as opposed to buccal swabs or nails, are the most reliable tissue for post-HSCT germline genetic testing due to lower donor DNA contamination.

In a comparative genomic study, researchers observed significant genetic differences among the three chemical races of the alga Botryococcus braunii, leading them to propose reclassifying these races as distinct species based on their unique genomic characteristics.

This review discusses techniques for analyzing the cell cycle, highlighting emerging tools for measuring cell cycle speed at single-cell resolution in live animals, and reports no new results.

This case study identified Trichophyton rubrum as the cause of trichophytia profunda acuta in a patient using nested PCR, suggesting an alternative diagnostic approach when KOH tests and cultures fail.

In this study, the researchers identified CEP135 as a biomarker linked to poor sarcoma survival and suggested PLK1 as a potential therapeutic target for sarcoma patients with high CEP135 expression.

This research identified that the constitutive and inducible expression of the Keratin 6 gene in transgenic mice skin is controlled by multiple regulatory elements spread throughout its 5' flanking region.

This study investigated genetic and epigenetic markers for prostate cancer, reporting that certain genotype combinations may influence cancer risk or protection and identifying GSTP1 promoter methylation as a strong prognostic and diagnostic marker linked to tumor aggressiveness.

This study found that non-pigmented hair follicles have significantly lower expression of nucleotide excision repair genes, which may be associated with reduced melanin production capacity in these follicles.

This study demonstrated that elevated GABA levels can worsen stress-induced hair growth inhibition in mice, while GABAA antagonists like ginkgolide A may help alleviate these effects.
