This study found that a bacterial endophyte from Zea nicaraguensis effectively targets and colonizes plant root hair cells, promoting growth and solubilizing insoluble phosphorus for nutrient uptake.

This study suggests that human evolution involved accelerated changes in the HR gene, affecting its role in mediating postnatal hair cycling.

This study found that Nubian ibex have developed genetic adaptations in response to their desert environment, including enhanced skin barrier, DNA repair, viral response, and metabolism of toxic compounds.

This study reports that hair samples can be used to track chronic hormone levels, revealing stress, reproductive, and sodium regulation patterns in wildebeest related to environmental factors.

This review discusses three aspects of cell fate specification across Metazoa and reports no new experimental results, highlighting the formation of nematode equivalence groups, evolution of echinoderm skeletogenic mesoderm, and adult cell fate regulation.

The p53 protein has complex, sometimes contradictory functions, including tumor suppression and promoting cell survival.

Certain fungi and bacteria help orchid seeds germinate and plants grow better.

In this study, researchers found that the female plumage color variations in the common cuckoo are linked to the female-restricted genome and suggest this pattern is maintained by balancing selection, sharing ancestry with the oriental cuckoo.

In this study, researchers propose that different vertebrate skin appendages, such as hair, feathers, and scales, evolved in parallel from a shared ancestral cell structure associated with teeth, dating back approximately 420 million years ago.

This study identified a human sequence likely coding for a new ultra-high sulphur protein, which may aid in understanding hair differentiation and the molecular basis of human trichothiodystrophy.

This study identified 53 keratins in the yak genome, predicting diverse phosphorylation sites and subcellular localizations, and highlighted strong gene expression correlations during the yak hair follicle development cycle.

This study analyzed the molecular evolution and functional divergence of the Dkk gene family, finding accelerated evolution in Aves and Reptilia and identifying functional differences that may impact hair follicle development via Wnt signaling inhibition.

The research identified six functional hair keratin genes and four pseudogenes, providing insights into hair formation and gene organization.

This review discusses how sex-limited chromosomes can affect non-reproductive traits in various sex determination systems and reports no new empirical results.

This review synthesizes current knowledge on choriogenesis, the final stage of oogenesis in insects, by exploring the role of follicle cells, regulatory mechanisms of gene expression, and the biochemical makeup of the eggshell, while also highlighting structural diversity and adaptations across insect species.

This study found that thyroid-stimulating hormone receptors are functionally expressed in various skin cells, implying potential physiological and pathological roles in skin, especially in conditions like autoimmune diseases.

This study identified potential ceRNA regulatory networks in cashmere goat hair follicle cycling, expanding understanding of lncRNA and miRNA biology and annotation of the goat genome.

This study identified a domain on human chromosome 21q22.1 containing various high glycine-tyrosine and high sulfur keratin-associated protein genes, revealing their diverse expression in hair-forming cells.

This study found that keratin K80, structurally similar to hair keratins, is broadly expressed in various epithelial tissues and is involved in intermediate filament formation with multiple type I partners.

This study found that the HoxC gene cluster plays a critical role in the development of ectodermal organs, including hair and nails, with mammalian-specific enhancers increasing transcription levels during development.

This study reveals that transglutaminase activity is widespread in integumentary structures of mammals and birds, suggesting it plays a significant role in the cornification of hard skin appendages like nails and feathers.

In this study, researchers assessed the genetic diversity of 101 Ginkgo biloba individuals using EST-SSR markers and concluded that there is a high level of genetic diversity in Ginkgo populations, facilitating the construction of a core germplasm collection for breeding purposes.

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 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 observational study identified L. infantum infection in meerkats housed in two zoological parks in Madrid, marking the first such report for this species, though the disease persisted in one individual despite treatment.

In this study, the authors identified and characterized the Get3d protein, conserved across plants and photosynthetic bacteria, which localizes to the chloroplast in Arabidopsis thaliana and potentially plays a role in tail-anchored protein targeting, linked to photosynthesis homeostasis.

This study found that while the KRTAP gene family is unique to mammals, humans have a similar number of these hair gene types as other primates despite having less body hair.

This study found that lower salmon availability was associated with higher stress hormone levels in grizzly and black bears, influencing their physiological responses and competitive behaviors.

This study found that hair-type tissues in hedgehogs show higher enrichment of immune-related genes compared to spine-type tissues, suggesting that spines evolved to protect against injuries and infections.

This study found that irreversible and severe alopecia can occur following docetaxel or paclitaxel chemotherapy in breast cancer patients.
