In this study using the C3H/HeJ mouse model of alopecia areata, researchers found that hyperexpanded CD8⁺ T cell clones were sufficient to initiate disease, establishing a causal link between T cell clonality and pathogenicity.

In this study on Chinese Tan sheep, researchers discovered a variant of the KRTAP19-5 gene associated with decreased curvature of fine wool fibres, highlighting potential genetic markers for improving wool quality.

This study found that unique genomic regions in Korean long-tailed chickens may contribute to their long tail feathers, offering potential for genetic advancements in ornamental chicken breeding.

This study found that the lncRNA lncRNA2919 is involved in hair follicle regeneration by downregulating growth-related genes, inhibiting cell proliferation, and promoting apoptosis in rabbit dermal papilla cells.

This review explores whether SARS-CoV-2 could trigger or worsen α-synucleinopathies, like Parkinson's disease, by affecting α-synuclein misfolding and aggregation, potentially linking COVID-19 with the development of parkinsonism-like symptoms.

This review explores how recombinant protein hydrogels, employing molecular engineering and crosslinking strategies, offer advanced applications in regenerative medicine by mimicking extracellular matrix dynamics and providing enhanced mechanical, environmental, and biological properties.

This study found that the unique crest feather formation in Polish chickens is driven by a 195-bp duplication in the HoxC10 gene region, which alters gene expression by modifying the genomic structure, suggesting a mechanism for diverse integumentary appendages in birds.

This study found that maize root hairs respond differently to cold stress based on severity, with mild cold allowing limited growth through adaptive remodeling, while severe cold causes more pronounced inhibition and prioritizes stress defense, affecting transcriptome and morphology.

This study analyzed the genetics of the patchiness phenotype in New Zealand rabbits and found that the gene KRT82, with identified SNPs in its promoter, may serve as a potential biomarker for breeding these rabbits.

This study suggests that keratinocytes derived from hair follicles of patients with atopic dermatitis provide a useful model for investigating AD-related inflammation, as they showed greater expression changes of AD markers when stimulated with type 2 cytokines compared to those from healthy donors.

This review discusses current knowledge about the TRPV3 ion channel's role in skin functions and diseases, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target for pain and itch, though suitable ligands are limited.

This study found that both natural and environmental selection have significantly influenced the goat genome, revealing genetic loci tied to adaptation, fitness, and productive traits, more so than artificial selection, across various goat populations.

This source describes wound healing as a complex biological process that requires precise regulation and coordination among various cells, cytokines, and signaling pathways to achieve tissue repair, although specific findings or results are not provided in the abstract.

In this study, researchers identified that three homologous genes—ZmSPL10, ZmSPL14, and ZmSPL26—are crucial for the development of stigmatic papilla in maize, with triple knockout mutants lacking these genes showing almost no stigmatic papilla and significantly reduced kernel setting.

This study found that manipulating Wnt/β-catenin signaling in embryonic mammary glands impacted their development, with high activity levels hindering branching and potentially redirecting cells toward hair follicle identity instead of mammary tissue.

This study identified miRNAs within the Dlk1-Gtl2 region on chromosome 18 as potential epigenetic regulators of lamb fur traits, with possible implications for the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway.

This research suggests that autism's genetic links are partially related to factors influencing physiological sex differences, with rare variants interacting with placental sex differences and common variants affecting steroid-related traits.

This study reported that alopecia in giant pandas may be linked to abnormal expression of several hair-related genes and pathways, providing insight for potential prevention and treatment strategies.

This review discusses the role of the ectodysplasin A2 receptor as a biomarker and driver of ageing related to inflammation, and its potential therapeutic implications, but reports no new clinical findings.

Changes in genes FGA, VWF, and ACTG1 may contribute to pemphigus vulgaris.

This review discusses the role of zebrafish as a model for studying human hereditary pigmentary disorders and reports no new experimental results, emphasizing their genetic similarities and the genetic tools available.

In this study, researchers performed a genome-wide characterization of the Wnt gene family in domestic donkeys, identifying 19 genes and highlighting their evolutionary conservation among mammals, along with tissue-specific expression patterns potentially linked to reproductive regulation and tissue homeostasis.

In this study, researchers found two non-synonymous SNPs in the TERT gene associated with mean wool staple strength in sheep, suggesting TERT as a potential candidate gene for improving wool traits.

This review summarizes how single-cell omics technologies have advanced understanding of cellular regulatory programs in sheep and goats, but highlights limitations in genomic annotation and integration with population genetics for molecular breeding.

This study found that in stretch-mediated tissue expansion, fibroblasts adopt an embryonic-like, low-collagen state that enhances epidermal stem cell renewal, supporting coordinated skin expansion crucial for reconstructive surgeries.

This research observed that translation initiation shifts from cap-dependent to IRES-mediated pathways varied across tissues and cell types under stress and differentiation conditions in mice, with low IRES/Cap ratios signaling high stemness and potential multipotency, mediated by the RNA processing protein PTBP1.

The researchers reported finding a recessive nonsense variant in the EGFR gene responsible for perinatal lethality in the "Blonde d'Aquitaine" cattle breed, prompting the development of a screening test to help eradicate this genetic flaw.

In this study, fibroblasts from long-term skin biopsy cultures retained their ability to reprogram into induced pluripotent stem cells after 16 months, despite undergoing transcriptional changes and decreased proliferation rates over successive generations.

In this study, researchers developed a DNA/GelMA-based cryogel platform that uses phototherapy to combat MRSA infection and promote scarless wound healing, showing enhanced bactericidal activity, tissue regeneration, and anti-inflammatory effects in vivo, suggesting a promising approach for treating infected skin wounds.
