This study found that germ-free mice on a biotin-deficient diet exhibited significant weight loss and severe alopecia, unlike conventional mice on the same diet.

LRIG1 protein affects hair growth by regulating skin receptors, leading to hair loss when overexpressed.

CD8+ virtual memory T cells may cause hair loss in alopecia areata.

Monilethrix is a rare, inherited condition causing fragile hair and hair loss, with no cure but some treatments may help.

This study found that local injections of interleukin-4 and neutralizing anti-interferon-γ antibody effectively treated alopecia in a mouse model, suggesting potential therapeutic pathways for human alopecia areata.

A man had an unusual type of hair loss that didn't match known patterns and didn't improve with treatment.

Hair loss can happen after severe H1N1 flu but usually grows back in 4 months.

This study found that ICAM-1 expression in murine skin is developmentally regulated and crucial for skin and hair follicle remodeling beyond its recognized role in immune responses.

A missing mK6irs1 gene causes hair loss in mice.

This study reported discovering a novel missense variant in a case of autosomal recessive woolly hair in a 31-year-old Chinese woman, which significantly reduced secretion of the encoded protein, likely leading to disease by impairing its hydrolytic function.

This study found that mice with a mutant CDP/Cux protein lacking the homeodomain showed severely impaired growth, high postnatal mortality, and reduced fertility, highlighting CDP/Cux's role in developmental regulation.

This study found that Pik3r1 Y657* mice, which model human SHORT syndrome, show increased energy expenditure despite insulin resistance, but this is not due to changes in locomotion, thermoregulation, or Ucp1-dependent thermogenesis, suggesting a different metabolic mechanism may protect against lipotoxicity.

In this case report, veterinarians observed a 16-year-old mare with symptoms including chronic weight loss, pruritus, muscle atrophy, and lameness, which gradually progressed to neurological issues despite initial treatment.

This study observed that hairless mice of different strains initially grow hair but soon develop alopecia and other skin and pigmentation changes with age.

This study identified a regulatory element necessary for Foxn1 expression specifically in mouse thymic epithelial cells, crucial for thymus development but not affecting hair follicles.

This study found that the unique crest feather formation in Polish chickens is driven by a 195-bp duplication in the HoxC10 gene region, which alters gene expression by modifying the genomic structure, suggesting a mechanism for diverse integumentary appendages in birds.

This report describes a rare case of papular atrichia in a 4-year-old girl, highlighting the absence of effective treatment to stimulate hair growth for this condition.

In this study, researchers developed a new murine model for transplanting vibrissae that mimics human hair transplantation, achieving successful hair growth in immune-deficient nude mice.

This study identified the Itpr3 gene as responsible for the tufted hair loss phenotype in the BTBR mouse strain.

In this study, the researchers reported extensive gene loss and high pseudogenization rates of α-keratin genes in cetaceans compared to terrestrial mammals, likely linked to hair loss and aquatic adaptations.

This report identified longitudinal grooves in the hair shafts of four children, diagnosing them with uncombable-hair syndrome.

This study developed and analyzed a mathematical model for alopecia areata involving interactions among immune cells and cytokines, establishing conditions under which hairless patches can become stable and pervasive, particularly with certain biological rate levels and chemotactic sensitivities.

This study reports the first keratin gene mutation affecting the tail domain, leading to a unique cytoskeletal abnormality and severe epidermal hyperkeratosis, highlighting the tail domain's critical role in keratin organization.

This study found that ILK deficiency disrupts hair follicle development by impairing cell polarity and laminin-511 assembly, but these defects can be partially reversed with exogenous laminin-511.

This study identified a mutant in Arabidopsis with shorter root hairs due to early growth cessation, implicating the IRE gene in regulating root hair growth duration.

In this study, inducing zinc deficiency in recently weaned female Tan rabbits led to reduced food consumption, weight loss, and reproductive issues, including inactive uterine and ovarian changes.

This case report describes the first known instance of loose anagen hair syndrome in a Southeast Asian child, a 13-year-old Thai boy with hair thinning and excessive shedding on the frontal scalp.

This article suggests that male pattern hair loss might have historically served as an evolutionary signal for women to choose younger male partners, potentially improving population fitness.

This study describes a new imaging platform for the adult Drosophila midgut, facilitating real-time observation of cell behaviors and dynamics involved in organ renewal.
