This study identified mutations in the FGF5 gene as a cause of extreme eyelash growth in Pakistani families, highlighting a potential target for regulating eyelash growth.

This study found that loss of the folliculin protein delays transferrin receptor recycling, leading to iron deficiency and suggesting a role in the mechanisms of Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome.

This article discusses the structure of the human type II 5 alpha-reductase gene and reports no new experimental results.

Researchers found an RNA transcript that might help control a growth factor linked to tumor development.

This study found that mutations in exon 3 of the hr gene are strongly associated with congenital hypotrichosis in Valle del Belice sheep, suggesting a potential genetic link to the disorder.

This study found that GLI2 plays a key role in activating follistatin, an activin/BMP antagonist, in response to hedgehog signaling in human epidermal cells, with implications for hair follicle development and basal cell carcinoma.

This study found that the protein Formin 2 helps regulate cell-to-cell transport in thale cress by stabilizing actin filaments at plasmodesmata, with its absence leading to increased permeability and vulnerability to viral infections.

Human hair keratin genes hHa2 and hHb1 are located on chromosomes 17 and 12.

In this study, the researchers identified a temperature-sensitive mutant in Arabidopsis thaliana, showing disrupted root hair formation and altered responses to plant hormone treatments at elevated temperatures.

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 the Arabidopsis thaliana protein Formin 2 localizes to plasmodesmata and is crucial for regulating their permeability by anchoring actin filaments, which affects virus susceptibility.

This study found that FGF5-/- rabbits exhibited a significant long hair phenotype by prolonging the anagen phase, suggesting FGF5 acts as a negative regulator of hair growth.

This study sequenced a related gene to KRT2.9 called KRT2.13, which encodes a type II keratin protein not expressed in the hair follicle, and found significant sequence homology suggesting possible gene conversion or conservation of functional sequences.

Researchers found a new area on chromosome 2 linked to a genetic hair loss condition.

This study identified a novel missense mutation in the hairless gene in a Polish family, which may contribute to congenital atrichia with papular lesions by affecting the gene's function.

This study found that mutations in the FGF5 gene are the primary genetic factor causing long hair in domestic cats through an autosomal recessive mechanism.

This research found that deleting the SLC3A2 gene in hair follicle stem cells disrupts their maintenance and proper differentiation, leading to hair follicle growth defects and altered skin regeneration through a YAP/Taz-dependent pathway.

This study found that the absence of Hif-p4h-2 in specific mouse skin cells disrupted hair follicle development, leading to hair loss due to irregular keratin formation and pathway signaling.

In this study, researchers found that the FOS gene may play a significant role in promoting hair follicle development in Tan sheep between birth and the Er-mao period.

This study found that specific genetic variations in the IRF2BP2 gene influence fleece structure in sheep, with one variant completely determining coat type and another significantly modifying fiber characteristics, providing valuable insights for improving fleece quality through selective breeding.

This study found that a missense mutation in the FGF5 gene is associated with hair-length differences among various dog breeds.

In this study, transient transfection of the HIF-1α gene into fibroblasts led to increased VEGF expression, which may enhance the growth and anagen phase of human hair follicles in vitro.

This study found that the LEF-1 binding site acts as an enhancer element for the wool keratin intermediate filament gene promoter in hair follicle cortex, with specificity regulated by additional factors.

This study found a novel R430Q gene mutation in hHb6, which may be linked to the hereditary hair disorder monilethrix in the examined family.

This study found that the hHa1-t protein variant, caused by a genetic polymorphism in the hHa1 gene, forms functional keratin filaments despite lacking a complete nonhelical tail domain, explaining the absence of a pathological hair phenotype.

In this study, researchers identified a temperature-sensitive mutation in the FERONIA gene of plants that prevents root hair formation at elevated temperatures, highlighting its role in maintaining root hair growth and response to plant hormones.

This study found that a 22-bp InDel polymorphism in the FGF7 gene was significantly associated with growth traits in goats, with genotypes ID and/or II linked to better growth compared to genotype DD, indicating its potential as a molecular marker in breeding programs.

This study identified the c.1204G to A (p.E402K) mutation in the hHB6 gene as a cause of monilethrix in a Chinese family, highlighting the gene's role in the condition.

This study identified FP-1 as a highly specific extracellular matrix protein in follicular papilla cells, which may play a role in hair growth regulation during specific hair cycle phases.
