This study details the isolation and characterization of the human type II 5 alpha-reductase gene, which may play a role in male pseudohermaphroditism, prostate cancer, and benign prostatic hyperplasia.

In this study, specific genetic polymorphisms in the KRT71 gene were associated with hairless and curly phenotypes in Sphynx and Devon Rex cats.

This study identified that a deficiency in the palmitoyl transferase enzyme, due to a mutation in the Zdhhc13 gene, led to severe physiological abnormalities in mice, including skin, bone, and systemic amyloid issues.

This study found that blue light at a wavelength of 453 nm promoted hair growth ex vivo, potentially through interacting with OPN3 receptors in human hair follicles.

This study found that beta-caryophyllene enhanced re-epithelialization in cutaneous wounds of female mice, suggesting its potential for improving wound healing through multiple pathways.

This review examines the mechanisms of lung fluid imbalance in COVID-19-related pulmonary edema and suggests potential drug targets to improve management and reduce mortality.

This study found that overexpression of Hoxc13 in GC13 mouse models affects hair follicle differentiation by interacting with medulla-specific genes, particularly Foxq1, suggesting a regulatory pathway for medulla differentiation.

This study located a potential genetic link for androgenetic alopecia on chromosome 3q26, marking an early step in identifying new susceptibility genes for male pattern baldness.

Certain fungi and bacteria help orchid seeds germinate and plants grow better.

This review discusses the progress and challenges in delivering CRISPR/Cas9 systems for in vivo genome editing, highlighting current methods and opportunities for future therapeutic applications.

This study suggests that a position effect disrupting TRPS1 expression may be linked to hypertrichosis in both Ambras syndrome in humans and a similar phenotype in Koa mice.

Graft-versus-host disease is a complication where donor immune cells attack the recipient's body, often affecting the skin, liver, and gastrointestinal tract.

In this study, reduced androgen receptor gene methylation and shorter CAG repeats in children with premature pubarche may lead to increased hair follicle sensitivity to steroid hormones, potentially causing early pubic hair development.

This review presents updated tables of mouse mutants with hair growth abnormalities to aid in understanding the molecular mechanisms of human hair disorders, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses common skin appendage diseases, including their pathophysiology and treatments, but does not report new results.

This study suggests that the HDAC9 gene is a third susceptibility gene for male-pattern baldness, with significant associations found in both German and Australian samples.

This article discusses the emotional and psychological impact of severe alopecia areata on patients, emphasizing feelings of loss, vulnerability, and self-identity changes, and reports no new results.

This article reviews the genetic and protein interactions involved in hair growth, highlighting regulatory sequences, expression patterns, and potential genetic modifications, but presents no new experimental findings.

This study identified a novel G207E STING mutation associated with severe inflammatory symptoms and suggested that common polymorphisms in TMEM173 and IFIH1 may modify the phenotype in affected individuals.

This study found that Acvr1b signaling is crucial for both hair follicle development and cycling in mice, with the genetic disruption leading to hair loss and a thickened epidermis.

This review examines acneiform eruptions, often drug-induced, highlighting that they differ from acne vulgaris in causes and characteristics, with no new clinical results reported.

In this study using zebrafish, four bisbenzylisoquinoline derivatives were found to protect hair cells from aminoglycoside-induced damage without reducing antibiotic efficacy, potentially leading to therapies for patients undergoing such treatments.

This study observed that Ptprq mutant mice exhibit significant abnormalities in hair bundle structure and vestibular dysfunction, suggesting similar issues may contribute to hearing loss and vestibular problems in humans with PTPRQ mutations.

This study found that Hoxc gene expression can reprogram mesenchymal dermal papilla cells, enhance epithelial stem cell regenerative potential, and promote region-specific hair follicle regeneration through Wnt signaling.

This study found that the signaling peptide CLE40 and receptor proteins CLV2 and CRN regulate root meristem differentiation through two distinct, antagonistic pathways activated by CLE40 in a dose-dependent manner.

This study found an association between a splice site variant in the KRT71 gene and curly hair in Selkirk Rex cats, identifying a significant locus on chromosome B4.

This review found topical ketoconazole to be highly effective against Malassezia-related skin conditions, though other treatments may outperform it for Tinea and Candida infections.

This review discusses nonsurgical techniques for facial masculinization and feminization in transgender patients and reports no new clinical findings, utilizing data from analogous procedures in cisgender individuals.

This study examined 27 DRESS patients diagnosed in Thailand, identifying phenytoin, allopurinol, and nevirapine as common causes, with a 3.7% mortality rate and systemic corticosteroids being a common treatment.

This review discusses findings from genetic studies on acne, highlighting progress in understanding its molecular pathogenesis without reporting new clinical results.
