This study found that certain keratin gene mutations associated with pachyonychia congenita are linked to altered enamel structure and increased risk of dental caries.

This study suggests that NBCCS and BFHS may be the same genetic condition, which could help improve identification and management of misdiagnosed cases with specific surveillance strategies.

This case report describes a 57-year-old Japanese female who developed scarring alopecia linked to gefitinib, an EGFR inhibitor, with improvement in hair loss after reducing the drug dosage.

This study introduces genital sex differentiation parameters (GSDP) to analyze sexual differences in external genitalia and perineum development in mice, revealing varied sensitivity to androgen inhibition in genital structures.

This review discusses cross-sex hormone therapy for managing gender dysphoria in transsexual individuals and reports no new clinical results; it highlights the need for education and culturally sensitive training for healthcare professionals.

In this study, heavy nighttime physical exercise delayed the circadian phase of clock gene expression by 2 to 4 hours in a professional fighter, suggesting potential implications for managing circadian disorders.

This study suggests that hair keratin gene mutations in mice may be linked to specific loci on chromosomes 11 and 15, potentially influencing keratin expression or structure.

In this study, researchers observed that mice with the naked gene showed frequent absence of hair cuticle and cortical cells during follicle growth, with abnormal keratin deposition also noted.

This review discusses the current state of research on skin organoids, highlighting their potential for replicating complex skin structures and comparing recent studies on stem cell microenvironments.

This study found significant differences in gene expression between newborn and adult skin, with infant skin notably increasing processes related to ECM organization, cell adhesion, and collagen fibril organization.

This study identified 14 genes affected by copy number variants that may contribute to alopecia areata, including four genes notably involved in autophagy and chromatin remodeling.

In this study, researchers identified a gene expression pre-pattern and implicated the Wnt inhibitor Dickkopf 4 in the formation of color patterns in domestic cat embryos.

This study found that rare germline pathogenic variants in BRCA2, BRCA1, and ATM are associated with increased risk of aggressive prostate cancer.

This review discusses age-related changes in scalp skin and their potential effects on hair follicle aging, but reports no new clinical results, calling for further investigation.

This study suggests that the methylation degree of HOXC8 exon 1 in the hair follicle may influence cashmere fiber growth in Liaoning cashmere goats.

This article reviews potential applications and challenges of using the transfollicular route for drug delivery but does not present new clinical findings; it calls for further exploration and development in this field.

This study suggests that NFIB and STAT5 work together to control cell-specific genetic programs in mammalian tissues, particularly in mammary and hair follicle stem cells.

The document concludes that there are still unknowns about the effectiveness, risks, and detection of performance-enhancing drugs, and doping remains a challenge.

In this study, a transgenic mouse model was used to demonstrate that targeted cell loss in different tissues led to varying degrees of regenerative outcomes, including reversible impaired glucose tolerance, irreversible hair loss, and permanent moderate deafness.

This study found distinct gene expression patterns in the blood of alopecia areata patients, suggesting involvement of immune processes and new pathways like Wnt signaling and apoptosis in disease pathogenesis.

This study found that polymorphisms in the KAP8.2 gene in Chinese Inner Mongolia cashmere goats are associated with variations in cashmere fibre diameter, suggesting its potential as a molecular marker for this trait.

In this case report, a 16-year-old girl developed generalized hypertrichosis after using excessive doses of topical minoxidil for diffuse alopecia, which resolved four months after stopping treatment.
