GNPTAB gene is crucial for normal hair color in humans and mice.

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 article reviews keratosis follicularis squamosa, a keratinizing disorder predominantly found in the Japanese population, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that overexpression and knockdown of DKK4 influence genes involved in hair follicle growth and development in Angora rabbits and identified specific SNPs in DKK4 associated with wool quality, notably showing that the TT/GG haplotype combination relates to higher fibre diameters.

This study demonstrated that dominant mutations in mouse gasdermin A3 disrupt mitochondrial oxidative stress regulation, suggesting a gain-of-function effect on epidermal differentiation.

This study found that disrupting the inturned gene in developing mouse epidermis halted hair follicle formation due to impaired keratinocyte differentiation, highlighting primary cilia's role in tissue-specific planar cell polarity signaling.

In this study, researchers identified PSENEN mutations that can lead to a form of Dowling-Degos disease, characterized by follicular hyperkeratosis and an increased susceptibility to acne inversa, especially in the presence of certain trigger factors.

This study found that mimicking the XPD point mutation in mice resulted in trichothiodystrophy-like symptoms, supporting the role of basal transcription and DNA repair defects in the disease.

This review discusses diffuse unpatterned alopecia (DUPA) as an understudied variant of androgenetic alopecia, summarizing its presentation and management while calling for further research to better understand its distinct characteristics.

This study demonstrates that Sox2+ dermal papilla fibroblasts exhibit properties of adult stem cells, including the ability to induce hair follicle formation and contribute to dermal regeneration.

This study found that circ 0020938 suppresses hair follicle stem cell proliferation by interacting with the miR-142-5p/DSG4 axis, which aids in the hair follicle cycle's proper progression.

This study found that desmocollin 1 is crucial for strong adhesion and barrier maintenance in the mouse epidermis, with its absence leading to skin and hair issues resembling chronic dermatitis.

This study found that immune-mediated destruction of bulge stem cells is a key factor in the alopecia observed in AE mice, suggesting it as a model for studying primary cicatricial alopecias, particularly lichen planopilaris.

This study found that mutations in the Sgk3 gene cause defective hair follicle development and altered hair cycling in mice, with variable phenotypic outcomes depending on different dysfunction patterns of the SGK3 protein.

In this study, the researchers discovered that specific polyamine depletion enhances stemness in hair follicle stem cells through a mechanism independent of mRNA translation.

This study found that a genetic deletion causing truncated desmoglein 3 protein in mice led to severe pathologies, including cyclic hair loss and immunodeficiency, suggesting possible implications for human desmosome-related diseases.

The research found that while Dnmt3a and Dnmt3b are not necessary for skin homeostasis in mice, the loss of Dnmt3a increases squamous tumor formation from carcinogens, and combined deletion of both results in more aggressive and metastatic tumors.

This study developed a pemphigus model in mice showing that anti-Desmocollin 3 and anti-Desmoglein 3 antibodies lead to more severe disease, suggesting diverse antigens contribute to varying human pemphigus phenotypes.

Mouse Scube3 affects teeth, tongue, vibrissae, and eye development, but not facial structure or limb growth.

In this study, researchers identified exosomal miR-199a-3p as a key factor in the regulation of melanogenesis by dermal papilla cells, finding that it enhances melanocyte proliferation and melanin production, suggesting potential therapeutic targets for pigmentation disorders.

This study reports a novel homozygous mutation in the DST gene causing a unique form of epidermolysis bullosa simplex with prurigo papules in a 39-year-old Syrian man.

Mutations in the Sgk3 gene cause fuzzy hair in mice.

This study provides genetic evidence that desmoglein-1 can compensate for the loss of desmoglein-3 in hair adhesion, supporting the desmoglein compensation hypothesis.

This study found that the interaction between heat shock protein 90 and lamin A/C is crucial for the growth, migration, and self-aggregation of dermal papilla cells, suggesting a potential role in alopecia areata mechanisms.

In this study, researchers created a mutant mouse lacking the first cut repeat in the Cux/CDP protein, resulting in curly vibrissae and wavy hair, supporting the role of Cux/CDP's DNA binding domains in gene regulation during development.

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.
