This study found that Plakophilin 1 regulates innate immune responses in keratinocytes by controlling RNA helicase activity, balancing inflammation during epidermal immune challenges.

In this study, disrupting the epidermal growth factor receptor in mice led to abnormal hair and skin development, characterized by disorganized hair follicles and systemic disease, providing a model for understanding EGFR's role in skin biology.

Hair follicles are crucial for maintaining skin barrier function.

This study found that transgenic mice overexpressing human H-ferritin showed mild growth retardation and a temporary hairless phenotype, highlighting H-ferritin's physiological roles.

This study identified a new PNPLA1 mutation in a Spanish family with autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis.

This study observed that gene expression differences in Rex rabbits with varying wool densities suggest the involvement of specific genes and signaling pathways, including Shh and Eph, in hair follicle development.

In this study, mouse models with EGFR deficiency showed that disrupted hair follicle cycling leads to increased mast cell numbers and inflammation, suggesting EGFR's role in managing hair cycle transitions and preventing folliculitis.

In this study, Tmem30b was identified as a key regulator of outer hair cell structure in mice, and its modulation may offer a therapeutic approach for certain types of hearing loss.

In this in silico study, researchers analyzed nonsynonymous SNPs in the LIPH gene linked to hypotrichosis and identified three potentially harmful variants (W108R, C246S, and H248N) out of 215 total, using sequence- and architecture-based bioinformatics techniques to differentiate between harmful and benign SNPs.

This study developed an in vitro model using NTERT keratinocytes expressing AEC-related TP63 mutations, which replicated skin defects observed in AEC patients and offers a valuable tool for understanding the disorder and developing new treatments.

This study utilized a pigmented human epidermal equivalent model to incorporate melanocytes into the epidermis and found enhanced differentiation potential compared to conventional in vitro systems, reflecting in vivo cellular trajectories and highlighting melanocyte-to-keratinocyte communication pathways.

In this study, researchers developed EPO-derived peptides that enhanced hair growth by stimulating dermal papilla cells and increasing IGF-1 expression without triggering systemic erythropoietic effects in tested models, indicating a promising approach for treating hair loss.

This study found that a specific genetic mutation in the Fgf5 gene may contribute to the long-hair trait in Angora rabbits by reducing the binding capacity of the FGF5 protein.

This study found that neutrophil-rich hair follicle inflammation caused by a monoclonal antibody targeting murine EGFR in mice involved TNFα and interleukin-1, suggesting these cytokines play a role in EGFR antibody-induced rashes in cancer patients.

This study demonstrates that human epidermal stem cells can adapt to environmental temperature changes through mTOR signaling, and prolonged inhibition of mTORC1 supports stem cell maintenance, which may be vital for regenerative medicine.

This study suggests that BBS7 is crucial for maintaining PDL homeostasis by supporting Sonic hedgehog signaling activity, with occlusal hypofunction leading to its downregulation and associated tissue changes.

This study found that the mutant hairless rhino bald protein in mice interacts with the vitamin D receptor but cannot repress its transactivation and shows abnormal cellular localization.

This study found that isolated human scalp hair follicles express PGE2 genes and EP2 protein, suggesting PGE2 may play a crucial role in regulating hair growth.

This study successfully established a transgenic sheep fibroblast cell line expressing the spider dragline silk protein gene, laying groundwork for developing transgenic sheep with this capability in hair follicles.

This study reports a case of a child with congenital skin fragility, alopecia, and cardiomyopathy due to compound heterozygous mutations in the DSP gene causing desmoplakin deficiency.

This study found that AIRE, a usually nuclear protein, is expressed in the cytoplasm of human epidermal and follicular keratinocytes and associates with the intermediate filament protein cytokeratin 17, potentially impacting ectodermal abnormalities in APECED syndrome.

This study found that the Bioengineered Exosomal Hair Growth Factors Complex (BEHC™) enhanced human follicle dermal papilla cell proliferation and reduced inflammatory markers in vitro, while significantly decreasing hair shedding and increasing hair density among participants with androgenetic alopecia in an open-label clinical study.

Ectodysplasin-A1 is crucial for developing hair, teeth, and glands.

This study found that HIF-P4H-2 function in FoxD1-lineage cells is crucial for normal hair follicle development and homeostasis in mice, implicating disrupted HIF, TGF-β, and Notch signaling pathways in associated defects.

This study found that transgenic mice expressing HPV E6/E7 in the outer root sheath experience continuous hair follicle cycling due to delayed catagen entrance and insensitivity to telogen resting signals.

Blocking EGFR in mice causes hair loss and skin changes.

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.
