This study found that a novel R343H mutation in the vitamin D receptor gene impairs its transcription activity, contributing to hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets and alopecia in the affected family.

This study found that the vitamin D receptor in lampreys, which lack bones and hair, binds 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and may function to induce enzymes for detoxifying substances.

In this study, researchers observed that inhibiting myosin light chain kinase in hair cells reduced stiffness and oscillation in bullfrog hair bundles and increased hearing thresholds in mice.

This study found that Epiprofin acts as a negative regulator of parathyroid hormone transcription, with potential implications for controlling PTH production in hyperparathyroidism.

In this study, mutations in the vitamin D receptor were identified in Brazilian children with rickets and alopecia, leading to impaired receptor activation and reduced 24-hydroxylase expression.

This workshop reviewed various roles of endoplasmic reticulum chaperones, including calreticulin, in cellular signaling, disease states, and potential markers, but reports no new experimental findings.

This review compiles current research on the role of long non-coding RNAs in regulating muscle growth and regeneration processes, particularly their influence on Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that Rab5c is crucial for proper HSPC development in zebrafish embryos by regulating Notch and AKT signaling through endocytic trafficking, with both deficiency and overactivation leading to production defects.

This study identified complex regulatory elements and interactions involving the Hr gene and HR protein that are crucial for hair follicle formation and cycling in mammals.

This study found that sensory and sympathetic innervation in the mystacial pads of mice is governed by a balance of neurotrophin signaling, highlighting the roles of NGF/trkA and NT-3/trkC pathways.

This review discusses the potential roles of prostaglandin D2 and its receptor CRTH2 in various diseases beyond allergies and asthma and reports no new clinical results.

This study identified a new subset of Ret-positive sensory neurons involved in itch perception, characterized by their unique expression profile and response to specific itch-inducing molecules.

This study identified a genetic locus associated with coat type in domestic dogs, showing certain variants linked to single-coated breeds and suggesting potential regulatory roles.

In this study, gene therapy using a VDR-expressing adenoviral vector significantly improved hair growth and reduced cyst formation in Vdr -KO rats with alopecia linked to type II rickets, whereas control treatments did not show these effects.

This study found that RANKL promotes the regeneration of type II alveolar epithelial cells in lung tissue, suggesting it may play a role in lung repair processes for diseases like COPD and fibrosis.

This study found that the AR-E211 A allele is associated with a lower risk of both metastatic prostate cancer and androgenetic alopecia in an Australian population.

A genetic mutation caused severe rickets and alopecia in an Indian patient, but high-dose calcium and phosphate treatment improved their condition.

This study found that the vitamin D-VDR system is crucial for mineral and bone metabolism post-weaning and identified missense mutations in 1alpha-hydroxylase causing type I rickets.

This study identified that dominant mutations in the KLHL24 gene cause epidermolysis bullosa through dysregulated autoubiquitination, leading to excessive degradation of keratin 14.

Activating Nrf2 can improve wound healing by increasing hair follicle stem cells.

This study suggests that residues Val-889 and Arg-752 in the androgen receptor's steroid binding domain are crucial for NH2-/carboxyl-terminal interaction, affecting receptor stability and function.

This study found that the small signaling peptide RALF22 plays a key role in root hair growth response to volatile compounds emitted by Penicillium aurantiogriseum through ethylene, auxin, and photosynthesis signaling in Arabidopsis.

This study found that strontium ranelate may promote cartilage regeneration by enhancing chondrogenic differentiation and inhibiting the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in rat models of cartilage defects.

This study observed that 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 restored rickets symptoms in genetically modified rats, suggesting its direct action through vitamin D receptor pathways.

This study observed that in an ex vivo setting, 17β-estradiol increased CB1 expression in human hair follicles, suggesting possible sensitivity to endocannabinoids and a potential mechanism for hair therapy.

This paper highlights advances in Developmental Dynamics, noting how epoa-deficient zebrafish can model Diamond-Blackfan anemia like disorders for drug screening, Alx4 mouse models offer insights into craniofacial development, and mTORC1 signaling is crucial for retinal development.

Isolation stress in rats reduces brain enzyme levels, affecting dopamine function.

In this study, researchers found that a PER3 gene SNP may be pathogenic for a new subtype of dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria, especially when combined with a SASH1 mutation.

Repetin is a protein involved in skin and hair development, binding calcium and compensating for other proteins when needed.
