This study found several microRNA-related genetic variants linked to epithelial ovarian cancer risk, with a notable association at the 17q21.31 region, suggesting potential new susceptibility genes.

In a mouse model of chemotherapy-induced alopecia, this study found that enhancing ETV2 expression improved angiogenesis and hair regrowth following 5-fluorouracil treatment.

This review discusses the structure, expression, regulation, and potential roles of NcoA4 in cancer and other pathologies, reporting no new experimental findings.

This study found that male 5α-reductase 2 knockout mice showed deficits in social dominance behaviors and reduced dopamine receptor binding in a brain region related to social ranking.

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 found that overexpression of the calcium sensing receptor in transgenic mice accelerates epidermal differentiation and hair growth, suggesting its role in enhancing calcium signaling and interaction with other pathways.

This study found that BNC2 is critical for hair follicle regeneration and other developmental processes, as Bnc2−/− mice exhibit incomplete hair follicle development and developmental defects, and BNC1 cannot substitute for BNC2.

This study found that neurotrophin-4 regulates Cav3.2 T-current expression in D-hair neurons via TrkB receptor activation, highlighting its role in mechanosensitive function.

This study identified a subpopulation of neural crest-derived progenitor cells in human corneal endothelial tissue from normal and Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy donors, which may have potential for future cell therapy development.

This study identified NM_026333 as a potential anti-aging gene that, when induced, may alleviate proton-induced aging symptoms in CF6-overexpressing and high salt-fed mice.

This study found that a positive feedback loop involving RHD2, reactive oxygen species, and calcium ions helps maintain root hair growth sites and influences cell shape in Arabidopsis thaliana.

This case report describes a 61-year-old Italian man with a rare, localized variant of junctional epidermolysis bullosa linked to the R795X mutation in the COL17A1 gene, highlighting the importance of precise diagnosis for effective management of rare genetic disorders.

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 found that in a mouse model with hereditary 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D resistant rickets, a mutant vitamin D receptor lacking hormone-binding ability could restore normal hair cycling and affect parathyroid hormone regulation.
