Human growth factor 20 can boost mouse whisker growth.

In this case report, researchers described a female child with total alopecia due to a mutation in the SNRPE gene, emphasizing the need for updated genetic testing as knowledge advances to avoid diagnostic delays in hereditary nonsyndromic hypotrichosis.

This study concluded that TNFRSF1B is a potential pathogenic factor in androgenetic alopecia, suggesting it as a novel therapeutic target.

This study suggests that IGFBP-2 may play a role in basal cell carcinoma development by mediating epidermal progenitor cell expansion in hair follicles with activated Shh signaling.

This article reviews the structure and regulation of the ITGB6 gene and discusses its role in integrin αvβ6 expression, with no new experimental results reported.

The researchers in this study identified molecular mechanisms involved in frontal fibrosis alopecia, highlighting immune response and fatty acid metabolism, and developed a four-gene diagnostic model showing high accuracy in distinguishing affected individuals from controls.

In this study, researchers observed that spiral ganglion neurites created more branched networks near FGF-1-coupled beads compared to control beads, highlighting FGF-1's role in hair cell innervation development.

This study found a novel nonsynonymous genetic variant in the hHb1 gene of a family with monilethrix, which differs from ten previously reported pathogenic mutations.

This study suggests that Foxn1 acts as a brake on PKC signaling in keratinocytes, thereby modulating the stages of differentiation by controlling PKC activity.

In this study, researchers identified genetic factors associated with frontal fibrosing alopecia, noting a protective effect of a specific CYP1B1 gene variant, which may offer insights into the disease's pathogenesis and future risk mitigation strategies.

This study found that the proteins GDNF, NTN, GFRα-1, GFRα-2, and c-Ret are differentially expressed during various stages of the human hair follicle cycle, with potential implications for hair biology.

In this study, researchers characterized the FGF5 gene in Chinese Merino sheep, identified a new mRNA splicing variant, FGF5S, and noted its restricted expression in the brain, spleen, and skin.

In this study, the CYP 21A2 gene p.V281L mutation was associated with an increased susceptibility to familial frontal fibrosing alopecia, suggesting an antigen-driven mechanism linked to certain human leukocyte antigen haplotypes.

This study observed that antisense oligonucleotides targeting FGFR-1 increased cellular activity in hair follicle cultures from mice, suggesting potential clinical utility for treating baldness.

This study found that DEFB1 polymorphisms, specifically the rs1800972 CG and GG genotypes, may predict susceptibility to and severity of alopecia areata.

This study found that BMP2 and BMPR-IA inhibited, while Noggin promoted, hair follicle growth in yaks by affecting skin epithelial cell activity.

This study discovered that the gene Tfap2b identifies a melanocyte stem cell population in zebrafish, essential for regenerating melanocytes with multi-fate potential into adult pigment cells.

This study identified a novel missense mutation in the FGF5 gene associated with the longhair phenotype in about 3% of Maine Coon cats, suggesting it may be a breed-specific variant.

This study identified collagen XXII as a novel extracellular matrix protein specifically present at tissue junctions, where it functions as a cell adhesion ligand for skin epithelial cells and fibroblasts.

In this study, Flii overexpression in mice enhanced fingertip regeneration and nail formation after both distal and proximal amputations, suggesting a role in digit and hair follicle regeneration possibly involving Wnt signaling.

This study found that over- and ectopic-expression of FoxN1 in early life negatively affected the development of thymic epithelial cells, T and B cells, and skin epithelial cells.

This study found that FPR2 knockout mice experienced excessive hair loss and abnormal hair follicle structures, suggesting FPR2's protective role in hair regeneration through stem cell activity regulation.

This study reports that BMP2 expression in goat skin is higher during late telogen and early anagen phases, indicating a potential role in hair follicle regeneration.

This study identifies a strong association between a 505-bp indel mutation in the FGF5 gene and cashmere growth in goats, suggesting potential use as a genetic marker in breeding programs.

This study identified a 14,883 bp genomic deletion affecting the Plcd1 and Vill genes as likely responsible for the abnormal phenotype observed in snthr-1Bao mice.

In this report, two pediatric cases of solitary basaloid follicular hamartoma, a rare benign skin malformation often misdiagnosed, were documented using dermoscopy, highlighting its clinical diversity and the need for accurate diagnosis.

In this study, researchers found that WNT activation influenced FGF expression in human scalp-derived fibroblasts, with mouse model results showing FGF9 increased hair follicle number and diameter, while FGF7 reduced diameter.

This study found that Foxn1-like genes in fish and mice are functionally equivalent in activating hair keratin genes, whereas changes in the cephalochordate Foxn1-like gene result in inactivity.

In this study, FOL-026, a peptide based on osteopontin, was shown to promote angiogenesis and stimulate vascular cell proliferation and migration through neuropilin-1, similar to VEGF, suggesting potential therapeutic applications in vascular repair and angiogenesis-related conditions.

In this study, FN-based fiber scaffolds designed using Rotary Jet-Spinning were shown to enhance wound healing and reduce scar formation in a mouse model, suggesting potential for regenerating healthy skin structure.
