This research observed that, in domestic cats like Maine Coon and Rex breeds, a "piebald" coat color pattern is likely influenced by the Silver locus, although the specific mutations involved are yet to be published.

In this study, the researchers found that deleting ceramide synthase 4 in the skin's epidermis alters stem cell differentiation, disrupting hair follicle structure and barrier function, potentially leading to immune responses similar to atopic dermatitis.

This study found that AP-2α and AP-2β transcription factors are crucial for maintaining adult skin homeostasis, with their inactivation in keratinocytes leading to impaired differentiation, hair abnormalities, and inflammation, highlighting their key regulatory roles.

This study identifies key transcriptomic features and a necessary dermal niche for eccrine gland development, advancing potential regenerative approaches for these vital skin appendages.

This study found that Wnt7a protein expression increased after corneal epithelial injury and promoted human corneal epithelium cell proliferation by upregulating fibronectin and enhancing cell adhesion.

This study presents evidence that hair matrix progenitors and the enzyme Stearoyl CoA Desaturase 1 may play a role in maintaining the dermal papilla niche via autocrine Wnt and paracrine Hedgehog signaling in mice.

This study found that overexpressing Rps14 in supporting cells promoted hair cell regeneration in the organ of Corti by facilitating cell proliferation and differentiation.

This study found that the PON1 192 R allele was associated with an increased risk of psoriasis and altered lipid profiles in patients from Western Mexico.

This study suggests that PKCß plays a critical role in modulating the dermal inflammatory microenvironment in response to dietary lipids in mice.

This study demonstrates that genome-edited epidermal stem cells can continuously monitor blood glucose levels in vivo and potentially aid in diabetes treatment through skin somatic gene therapy.

This study suggests that mutation-targeted siRNA therapy could potentially treat keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness syndrome by selectively reducing harmful GJB2 mutant gene expression in patient-derived keratinocytes.

This study identified that dominant mutations in the KLHL24 gene cause epidermolysis bullosa through dysregulated autoubiquitination, leading to excessive degradation of keratin 14.

This study identified altered neurological pathways and potential drug targets involved in androgenetic alopecia, suggesting areas for future research and possible therapies.

This study shows that ZIP7 is a functional zinc transporter in mammalian cells, facilitating the movement of zinc from the Golgi apparatus to the cytoplasm.

This study found that Frizzled genes Fzd3 and Fzd6 are redundantly involved in controlling hair follicle polarity in mice, but operate through distinct mechanisms, highlighting their complex role in hair orientation.

This study found that zebrafish with a mutation in the GDP-fucose biosynthesis gene exhibited enhanced and faster regeneration of mechanosensory hair cells, implicating the importance of this gene and Notch signalling regulation in hair cell regeneration mechanisms.

This study suggests that egfl6 expression in the pharyngeal pouches is not essential for craniofacial development in zebrafish.

This paper reviews the emerging role of FGF-7 signaling in hair regeneration, highlighting its potential as a target for new therapies despite limited clinical trial data.

This study found that dysregulation of the folliculin-p0071 interaction may lead to changes in cell adhesion and signaling, contributing to conditions like emphysema and renal cell carcinoma.

This study suggests that the interaction between folliculin and plakophilin-4 (p0071) may play a role in folliculin's tumor suppressor function by regulating RhoA signaling, impacting cell migration and junction formation.

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.

In this study, researchers found that Fgf21 knockout mice exhibited delayed hair follicle cycling compared to wild-type mice, potentially due to altered miRNA interactions affecting Vezf1 and Map3k1 expression, providing insights into the molecular regulation of hair growth.

In this study, XZYFD, a Traditional Chinese Medicine formulation, was found to improve androgenetic alopecia in a testosterone-induced mouse model by promoting hair regrowth, restoring follicular morphology, and modulating androgen metabolism, MAPK signaling, and lipid metabolism pathways, suggesting potential benefits for patients with metabolic dysfunction.

In this study using Angora rabbits, researchers found that the FRZB gene inhibits hair follicle development by modulating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, affecting the expression of various genes related to this pathway and altering cell proliferation and apoptosis.

This study found that FZD2 is crucial for hair follicle formation and postnatal growth in mice and has a novel role in regulating early epidermal development, including stratification and cornification.

Mutations in the Sgk3 gene cause fuzzy hair in mice.

In this study, researchers observed that knocking down the LPA 4 receptor in zebrafish embryos led to vascular and lymph vessel development abnormalities, including edema and decreased heartbeats.

This study found that a 22-bp InDel polymorphism in the FGF7 gene was significantly associated with growth traits in goats, with genotypes ID and/or II linked to better growth compared to genotype DD, indicating its potential as a molecular marker in breeding programs.

This study highlights that ZNF750, a zinc-finger transcription factor, is crucial for epidermal differentiation and barrier formation in skin by activating genes involved in lipid processing and stratum corneum development, and links ZNF750 sequence variations to skin inflammatory diseases like psoriasis.
