This study describes a novel hairless mutant rat strain, F344-Hr(krh), developed via ENU mutagenesis, which provides a model for skin disease and potentially focal glomerulosclerosis due to specific genetic mutations.

This study identified a mutation hotspot in the caracul (Ca) locus of mice, implicating the mK6irs1/Krt2-6g gene in hair formation and potentially human hair and skin diseases.

A new genetic mutation in mice causes permanent hair loss and skin wrinkling.

This study established a mouse model for Cushing's syndrome due to a specific Crh mutation, which may help explore the effects of glucocorticoid excess and evaluate treatments for corticosteroid-induced osteoporosis.

This review classifies mutant mice with hair abnormalities into six categories, providing an annotated table that serves as a reference for understanding the molecular controls of hair growth.

This review presents updated tables of mouse mutants with hair growth abnormalities to aid in understanding the molecular mechanisms of human hair disorders, but reports no new clinical results.

This study reports that two mouse models of scarring alopecia exhibit similar patterns of hair loss progression despite histological differences in inflammatory cell localization and MHC class I expression.

This study identified that a deficiency in the palmitoyl transferase enzyme, due to a mutation in the Zdhhc13 gene, led to severe physiological abnormalities in mice, including skin, bone, and systemic amyloid issues.

This review examines the direct-to-consumer genetic testing market, highlighting the available tests, regulatory issues, and calls for increased oversight, and reports no new results.

This study found that ZDHHC13 deficiency in mice is associated with abnormal liver function, lipid metabolism issues, and impaired mitochondrial function, highlighting ZDHHC13's regulatory role in liver metabolism.

In this study, a high-fat, high-cholesterol diet in atherosclerotic mice led to skin inflammation and hair problems, which could be reversed by inhibiting glycosphingolipid synthesis.

This study found that Gsdma3 mutation in mice allows hair follicles to bypass a typical telogen phase and directly enter the anagen phase, suggesting Gsdma3's role in hair cycle transitions by regulating Wnt signaling.

This study found that NIH hairless mice exhibit abnormalities in hair growth and immune-related pathways, with Pik3r1 and Pik3r3 identified as key genes for further investigation.

Adult hair follicle cells can create new hair follicles from corneal cells with the right support.

This review discusses the essential roles and complex regulation of PP2A in various physiological processes and reports no clinical results; the authors highlight the need for further mouse model research to explore PP2A's therapeutic potential.

This study found that the PP2A-B55α regulatory subunit is crucial for ectodermal development in mice, with knockout embryos displaying severe neural and epidermal defects and failing to survive to birth.

This study found that Gsdma3 mutations in mice led to thicker skin and longer hair infundibula, possibly by negatively regulating β-catenin expression in the epidermis.

This review discusses the pathogenesis and challenges in treating primary cicatricial alopecia, highlighting the need to understand immune protection collapse in hair follicle stem cells; it reports no new clinical results.

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 the hairless gene in mice has a more extensive role in development than previously thought, as indicated by its expression in various tissues and associated abnormalities in hr/hr mutants.

In this mouse study, hair growth defects associated with the Gk5 null allele were partially alleviated by simvastatin treatment, suggesting GK5 plays a key role in skin-specific cholesterol regulation.

This review highlights REV7's crucial roles in maintaining genome stability, its implication in several cancers, and its association with poor prognoses and treatment resistance, while also noting that REV7 suppression may improve chemotherapy sensitivity.

In this study, estradiol was found to increase VEGF expression in cultured dermal papilla cells at physiological levels similar to pregnancy, suggesting that declining estrogen might contribute to female pattern hair loss in older Japanese women.

This study describes a mouse model for Marie Unna Hereditary Hypotrichosis, identifying mutations in the hairless gene that result in sparse or absent hair and cyst-like hair follicles.

This study found that krh/krh rats serve as a suitable model for non-inflammatory acne and that adapalene treatment decreased open comedones and altered lipid metabolism and cytokine production in these rats.

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 a specific mutation in the mouse RXRalpha gene significantly impacts immune responses and causes hair loss and skin cysts.

This study found that mutations in type I IRS keratin genes disrupt keratin protein complexes in mice, suggesting crucial roles for these genes in proper hair coat formation.
