Lack of TrkC receptor delays hair follicle development.

In this study, researchers found that the NUDT15 R139C gene variant is a significant genetic risk factor for azathioprine-induced severe myelotoxicity in Japanese patients with dermatological conditions, suggesting that screening for this variant may help prevent adverse reactions in East-Asian populations.

This study found that human peptidylarginine deiminase type III is the predominant isoform in hair follicles and may modulate structural proteins during hair and hair follicle formation.

This study found that mice with a specific loss of DNA methyltransferase 1 showed uneven epidermal thickness, reduced hair regeneration, and progressive alopecia, emphasizing DNA methylation's role in stem cell homeostasis.

This study found that ablating cyclin D3 in a Ras-dependent skin carcinogenesis model increased apoptosis in hair follicles, reducing papilloma development but potentially facilitating malignant progression when CDK6 is overexpressed.

This study identified molecular differences between dysplastic nevi and common melanocytic nevi, including altered keratinocyte differentiation, increased hair follicle-related molecule expression, and distinct immune microenvironment characteristics in dysplastic nevi.

This case report describes a 32-month-old girl with a newly identified pediatric disorder linked to a de novo mutation in the ODC1 gene, mirroring symptoms seen in a transgenic mouse model.

This study found that hair from mice with the Naked trait mutation has significantly lower levels of glycine and tyrosine, suggesting a deficiency in a specific protein fraction.

In this study, researchers found that mosaic PLCD1 hotspot variants, even without the recognized germline "risk allele," may be a rare but significant genetic cause of nevus trichilemmocysticus, warranting DNA testing and sensitive sequencing technologies for accurate diagnosis.

This study suggests that the ANE syndrome mutation in yeast Nop4, analogous to human RBM28, disrupts protein folding and protein-protein interactions, contributing to ribosomal dysfunction.

This study reports that a homozygous A1103G mutation in DSG 4 is responsible for localized autosomal recessive hypotrichosis in a 2-year-old Chinese girl, resulting in reduced DSG 4 expression and hair defects.

This study identified novel mutations in the DSG4 gene in a Japanese patient with monilethrix, affecting protein interactions that may disrupt hair shaft structure.

Increasing m6A levels can improve skin cell growth and wound healing.

This study identified a new gene, mrp4, in mice, which suggests it may have a unique role in the growth and development of hair follicles in the ears and tails.

In this study, NuMA's microtubule-binding domain was found to be crucial for correct spindle orientation and skin differentiation, with its loss leading to neonatal lethality in mice.

This article reports that mutations in the PADI3 gene, affecting its activity or localization, cause uncombable hair syndrome and are linked to central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, particularly among women of African ancestry.

This study found that knocking down lncRNA MTC in Liaoning Cashmere goat skin fibroblasts inhibited cell proliferation and increased apoptosis, suggesting its role in facilitating cell growth by regulating specific proteins.

This study identified two novel mutations in the CDH3 gene causing HJMD in a Chinese patient, expanding the genetic and phenotypic understanding of the disorder.

This case report describes a novel mutation in the CDH3 gene in an 11-year-old Iranian boy with sparse scalp hair and macular dystrophy, leading to altered P-cadherin synthesis.

This study identified a 14,883 bp genomic deletion affecting the Plcd1 and Vill genes as likely responsible for the abnormal phenotype observed in snthr-1Bao mice.

In this study, researchers identified the lncRNA MSTRG.14227.1 in cashmere goats and found it inhibits the morphogenesis of secondary hair follicles by interacting with the chi-miR-433/ADAMTS3 signaling axis, affecting cashmere yield and quality.

This study suggests that prenatal genetic diagnosis of MELAS syndrome using amniotic cells may not reliably predict fetal outcomes due to phenotypic diversity observed in siblings with similar levels of mutant mtDNA.

This study identified specific lncRNAs and mRNAs differentially expressed in miniaturized follicles compared to normal follicles in patients with androgenetic alopecia, with AL136131.3 potentially inhibiting hair growth and accelerating follicle transition to catagen through effects on glycolysis-related genes.

This study identified a recurrent mutation in the endothelin receptor type A associated with mandibulofacial dysostosis with alopecia, and proposed a mechanism involving increased ligand affinity due to structural changes.

This study suggests that the NCSTN knockout mouse could serve as an HS animal model, with tamoxifen potentially used for gene deletion in mice.

In this study, researchers purified and cloned rat peptidylarginine deiminase type III, demonstrating its activity and specific expression in the epidermis and hair follicles.

This study reports the discovery of mutations in the PADI3, TGM3, and TCHH genes as molecular genetic causes of uncombable hair syndrome in children, indicating an autosomal-recessive inheritance pattern.
