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 found that chronic exposure to fadrozole or finasteride during frog development induced intersex individuals, which displayed different gene expression profiles depending on the chemical used.

This study found that cetaceans have adapted their fibroblast growth factors to assist in low bone density, hypoxia tolerance, and the development of rigid flippers, reflecting significant evolutionary changes for aquatic life.

This case report describes a presumptive case of ichthyosis fetalis in a cross-bred lamb and highlights the need for this rare condition in sheep to be considered by veterinarians in the differential diagnosis of dermatopathies.

This study found that resveratrol and fisetin promoted hair growth in mice by inducing telomerase reverse transcriptase expression, which activates hair follicle stem cells and transitions follicles from a resting to a growth phase.

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 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.

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 FLCN deficiency in mice muscles led to increased mitochondrial biogenesis and a metabolic shift towards oxidative phosphorylation, with a similar advantage observed in FLCN-null kidney cancer cells.

This study identified a fungal sulfotransferase enzyme, FgSULT1, from *Fusarium graminearum*, expanding the sulfotransferase superfamily and offering new biocatalytic methods for producing bioactive sulfates.

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.

This study found that fisetin, a dietary flavonoid, significantly improved psoriasiform skin lesions in mice by promoting cell differentiation, inhibiting proliferation, and modulating inflammatory responses.

This study found that protein hydrolysates from mealworms, especially those derived using flavourzyme, significantly enhance adipogenic differentiation in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, suggesting their potential as sustainable ingredients for glycemic control, skin health, and tissue regeneration products.

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 found that essential fatty acid deficiency in rabbits leads to significant degeneration of gonadal tissue, possibly due to impaired anterior pituitary gland function.

In this study, a ferret with multiple health issues was diagnosed with a malignant apocrine gland adenocarcinoma on the prepuce, highlighting the aggressive nature of such tumors in this species and suggesting further investigation into cytologic features could provide insights into tumor behavior.

This study found that overexpression of the enzyme spermidine/spermine N1-acetyltransferase in mice was associated with increased fat oxidation and a leaner phenotype, while knock-out mice exhibited increased fat accumulation.

This study suggests that fusaric acid at nontoxic concentrations may activate signal transduction in plants which could aid in the plant-defense responses against Fusarium spp.

In this study using mice with specific gene knockouts, both farnesyltransferase and geranylgeranyltransferase-I were found to be essential for the proliferation and survival of skin keratinocytes.

This study reports that the loss of the protein Memo in mice leads to a reduced lifespan and suggests that Memo is a key regulator of FGFR signaling and vitamin D production.

This study found that FGF signaling is necessary for the initiation of feather placode development in chicken embryos, with FGF10 being implicated as an early dermal signal in the process.

This study found that the Abyssinian and Sphynx breeds have significantly higher felinine:creatinine ratios in their urine compared to several longhaired cat breeds, suggesting hair growth may influence felinine production.

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 article discusses finasteride's use for male pattern alopecia and highlights the positive experiences and observations by hair restoration surgeons but reports no new clinical results.

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 demonstrated that biochemical analysis of proteins from fetal skin biopsies is feasible, potentially enhancing prenatal diagnostic capabilities for protein-related disorders.

This study confirms that zebrafish engineered with Cantú Syndrome mutations in ABCC9 and KCNJ8 genes exhibit gain-of-function characteristics in their cardiovascular KATP channels, similar to mammalian counterparts.

This study found that overexpression of an enzyme in transgenic mice led to distorted polyamine levels, resulting in permanent hair loss and female infertility.

This article reviews the regulation and roles of spermidine/spermine-N(1)-acetyltransferase (SSAT) in polyamine metabolism and its potential as a target in cancer and other diseases, without reporting new experimental results.
