research Evidence That the Satin Hair Mutant Gene Foxq1 Is Among Multiple and Functionally Diverse Regulatory Targets for Hoxc13 During Hair Follicle Differentiation
The gene Foxq1, controlled by Hoxc13, is crucial for hair follicle differentiation.
research Comparative Study on Seasonal Hair Follicle Cycling by Analysis of the Transcriptomes from Cashmere and Milk Goats
Cashmere and milk goats have different hair growth cycles and gene expressions, which could help improve wool production.
research Understanding Skin Morphogenesis Across Developmental, Regenerative, and Evolutionary Levels
The article concludes that studying how skin forms is key to understanding skin diseases and improving regenerative medicine.

Higher minoxidil dose helps hair growth in non-responders without side effects.
research Applying FACS-Based Single Cell RNA-Seq to Study Neonatal Mouse Skin
Researchers improved a method to study individual cells in newborn mouse skin and found a way to assess the severity of a skin condition in humans.
research Histologic and Immunohistochemical Evaluation of Lichen Planopilaris and Correlation with Clinical Disease Severity
The study found a link between the severity of Lichen Planopilaris seen by doctors and the details seen under a microscope, and created a new way to measure this severity.
research Function and Underlying Mechanisms of Seasonal Color Molting in Mammals and Birds: What Keeps Them Changing in a Warming World?
Animals that change color with the seasons mainly do so in response to daylight changes, but climate change is causing camouflage problems that may require evolutionary changes.
research Wnt Signaling in Skin Organogenesis
Wnt signaling is crucial for skin and hair development and its disruption can cause skin tumors.
research Fine Structure and Immunocytochemistry of Monotreme Hairs, with Emphasis on the Inner Root Sheath and Trichohyalin-Based Cornification During Hair Evolution
Monotreme hair structure and protein distribution are similar to other mammals, but their inner root sheath cornifies differently, suggesting a unique evolution from reptile skin.
research American Academy of Veterinary Dermatology and American College of Veterinary Dermatology Annual Meeting, Norfolk, Virginia, April 4-8, 2001
The meeting presented findings on effective treatments for various pet skin conditions and insights into the immune responses of dogs with atopic dermatitis.
research Molecular Mechanisms Regulating Hair Follicle Development
Understanding hair follicle development can help treat hair loss, skin regeneration, and certain skin cancers.
research Regionalization of the Skin
Skin varies in thickness, color, and features due to complex genetic and cellular processes.
research Role of Sulfur Metabolism Gene and High-Sulfur Gene Expression in Wool Growth Regulation in the Cashmere Goat
Certain genes related to sulfur metabolism are more active during the growth phase of Cashmere goat wool, and melatonin might help this process.

research Molecular and Cellular Characterization of Avian Reticulate Scales and the Evolutionary Development of Skin Appendages in Foot Soles
Bird foot scales develop differently and can repair but not fully regenerate due to the lack of specialized stem cell areas.
research Deep Hair Phenomics: Implications in Endocrinology, Development, and Aging
A new tool can analyze hair to detect changes due to hormones, genetics, and aging.
research Proceedings of the Ninth World Congress for Hair Research 2015
The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.
