This study found that specific genetic changes in both coding and noncoding regions may have independently driven the evolution of hairlessness in various mammalian species through accelerated evolution.

In a real-world registry study, ripretinib showed effectiveness with a median progression-free survival of 7.70 months and a tolerable safety profile in Chinese patients using it as a fourth-line treatment for advanced GIST, particularly benefiting those with non-gastric tumors.

In this study, a young Chinese male with a specific mitochondrial mutation was reported to have proteinuria and renal dysfunction, with stable kidney function after treatment over 23 months.

In this study involving genetically modified rats, researchers observed that specific mutations in the vitamin D receptor affect calcium levels and bone formation, emphasizing the receptor's role in maintaining healthy bone density and its importance in regulating hair cycle and skin health.

This study demonstrated that gene-corrected 3D skin constructs from RDEB patient-derived iPSCs, grafted onto immunocompetent mice, showed normal collagen VII expression after two months.

This study revealed that Patched receptors establish a Hedgehog signaling gradient in developing hair follicles, which may influence their formation and potentially offer a diagnostic tool for distinguishing Hedgehog-driven tumors.

This study reports a case of GGCX syndrome in a 55-year-old Japanese male, characterized by PXE-like symptoms and coagulation deficiency, with an unreported phenotype of possible spinocerebellar degeneration.

This article proposes that the combined genetic factor of filaggrin deficiency and environmental factor of staphylococcal biofilms contribute to the development of eczema and ichthyosis vulgaris, but reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, researchers discovered that the HrasG12V oncogenic mutation in murine skin epithelial cells initially promotes progenitor cell renewal but later leads to a balanced differentiation, stabilizing clone growth.

This review examines the adaptive value and mechanisms of seasonal coat colour moulting in birds and mammals, highlighting the challenge of camouflage mismatch and the necessity for evolutionary adaptation under climate change.

This review discusses the structure and function of steroid nuclear receptors, particularly focusing on androgen receptor dysregulation in prostate cancer and androgen insensitivity syndromes, without reporting new experimental results.

This study found that overexpression of Gsdma3 in mice led to epidermal hyperplasia, skin inflammation, and hair growth defects, suggesting gain-of-function mutations in Gsdma3 cause these conditions.

This study suggests that male sex and androgenic steroid use increase the risk of atrial arrhythmias in individuals with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, especially those with desmosomal gene mutations.

This study found a significant overlap between gene expression signatures of alopecia areata and certain chronic inflammatory skin disorders, suggesting shared biological processes may drive their co-occurrence and providing a foundation for future research into distinct comorbid subtypes.

In this review, researchers detail how immunosenescence and chronic neuroinflammation contribute to Parkinson's disease progression, exploring potential therapeutic strategies targeting this axis, such as senolytic agents and immune rejuvenation, while highlighting associated challenges and future research needs.

This study suggests that typical skin lesions in Carney complex may originate from the pro-melanogenic activity of a specific dermal fibroblast population influenced by PKA signaling.

This review discusses advances in forensic DNA profiling, highlighting new genetic markers and methods for identifying unknown individuals, but reports no new research findings.

Understanding where cancer cells come from helps create better prevention and treatment methods.

This review discusses the role of jumonji family proteins in chromatin regulation and development, highlighting their involvement in transcriptional repression and histone demethylation, but reports no new experimental findings.

This review discusses the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, but reports no new research results.

This review explores the role of Foxn1 in mammalian skin biology, discussing its influence on hair follicle function and the potential for further research to enhance understanding of epithelial differentiation.

This review summarizes existing knowledge on the role of FOXN1 as a key regulator of thymic epithelial cell lineage and function, reporting no new experimental results.

AGD1 is important for root hair development in Arabidopsis, working with phosphoinositide signaling and the actin cytoskeleton.

This study found that local refinement of hair follicles into higher order patterns can occur without the core planar cell polarity system, but global alignment with body axes requires its function throughout development and regeneration.

In this study, researchers found that alkylating chemotherapy causes hair follicle stem cells to lose their regenerative ability by initially triggering proliferation followed by apoptosis, leading to permanent regeneration loss.

This review discusses the association between WNT10A gene variants and various ectodermal disorders, highlighting their clinical relevance in dermatology and dentistry, but reports no new findings.

This study reports that a new nude allele, nu(StL), encodes a truncated Whn transcription factor affecting T-cell development and keratin gene expression, with notable differences from the original Whn(nu) mutation.

This study found that deleting FoxN1 in specific thymic epithelial cells disrupted the 3D thymic structure and led to age-dependent formation of 2D epithelial cysts, highlighting FoxN1's critical role in thymic morphogenesis.

This review discusses the development of targeted therapies for basal cell carcinoma that interfere with Hedgehog signaling and reports no new research findings.

This study found that the vitamin D receptor, but not its ligand, regulates genes involved in hair cycle progression, suggesting a role in integrating hormone signaling pathways for hair and epidermal functions.
