This case report documents the first known instance of FOXN1 duplication linked to congenital hypertrichosis.

This study identified that patients with compound heterozygous mutations in FOXN1 exhibited severe T-cell lymphopenia but retained normal hair and nail development, indicating a distinct clinical phenotype from classic FOXN1 cases.

This study found that BAF200, a subunit of the PBAF chromatin remodeling complex, is crucial for heart development and coronary artery formation in mice, as its absence led to embryonic lethality with severe cardiac defects.

This study suggests that NBCCS and BFHS may be the same genetic condition, which could help improve identification and management of misdiagnosed cases with specific surveillance strategies.

This report suggests that patients with primary spontaneous pneumothorax should be evaluated for FLCN mutations, as they may indicate Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome and associated cancer risks.

BTNL2 helps protect hair follicles from immune attacks.

This study identified a novel missense MAFB variant in a family with some unaffected members, suggesting incomplete penetrance and the potential influence of modifier genes, epigenetic mechanisms, or environmental factors on MCTO phenotype.

This study found that applying a formulation derived from Bacopa procumbens significantly promoted hair growth, pigmentation, and follicular cycle acceleration in mice compared to minoxidil, potentially offering a new therapeutic approach for hair health.

Basonuclin helps identify and track hair follicle development and cycling in mice.

This case report describes a rare co-existence of Becker nevus and plexiform neurofibroma in a child with genetically confirmed neurofibromatosis type 1, offering insights into the potential cellular and molecular links between these lesions.

Folliculin slows hair growth, and blocking it might help treat hair loss.

Basonuclin is crucial for hair follicle development and cycling in mice.

This review discusses recent insights into Birt–Hogg–Dube syndrome, including the functions of the FLCN gene and clinical recommendations for screening and treatment, but it reports no new experimental results.

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.

This study suggests that specific mutations in the MFN2 gene, including the p.Arg707Trp allele, can result in tissue-selective mitochondrial dysfunction leading to excessive upper body fat growth and low leptin levels.

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 overexpression of the FA2H gene in cashmere goats' hair follicle cells may enhance hair proliferation and regulate genes affecting cashmere fineness.

This study reported that patients with specific Foxn1 mutations exhibited severe T-cell lymphopenia without the hair and nail abnormalities usually associated with these mutations.

This study found that Basonuclin 1 knockdown in human primary keratinocytes significantly reduces cell proliferation and affects migration, indicating its role in coordinating the re-epithelization phase of wound healing.

This review covers the molecular basis of Birt–Hogg–Dubé syndrome and its implications for potential therapeutic targets, but it does not report new experimental results.

This study found that fibronectin is crucial for hair follicle stem cell function and regeneration, with its deletion impairing regeneration but restoration by dermal injection of exogenous fibronectin.

This study suggests that basonuclin may act as a tissue-specific transcription factor for ribosomal RNA genes by interacting with the promoter region necessary for high transcription levels in human keratinocytes.

This study found that subcutaneous injections of basic fibroblast growth factor in neonatal mice delayed the development and hair growth cycles of hair follicles compared to controls.

In this study, researchers found that ligand homodimerization controls the receptor binding specificity of the FGF9 subfamily, preventing off-target activation of FGFR "b" isoforms.

This study found that upregulation of NFIC may enhance proliferation and osteogenic/cementogenic differentiation in rat dental follicle cells.

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 observed that in human scalp hair follicles, BTNL2 expression is lower in stressed conditions, which correlates with increased cytotoxic activity by gamma/delta and CD8+ T cells, suggesting a possible role for BTNL2 in controlling immune responses relevant to alopecia areata.

This study reports that patients with specific MFN2 mutations, including p.Arg707Trp, exhibit significant upper body fat overgrowth with suppressed leptin production, suggesting tissue-selective mitochondrial dysfunction and potential therapeutic targets.

Fibronectin is essential for hair follicle regeneration and may help rejuvenate aged skin.
