This article reviews extensive genetic polymorphisms in the keratin-associated proteins of human hair, indicating complexity but reporting no new clinical results and calls for further research on their potential impact on hair structure.

This study identified a mutation hotspot in the caracul (Ca) locus of mice, implicating the mK6irs1/Krt2-6g gene in hair formation and potentially human hair and skin diseases.

This study identified multiple mutations in the 5 alpha-reductase-2 gene among male pseudohermaphrodites in the Dominican Republic, suggesting they do not share a common ancestry.

This study found that KRTAP2 proteins predominantly express in the hair shaft cortex of humans, interact with hair keratins, and play crucial roles in hair shaft keratinization.

Injecting lentiviral vectors into early gestation mice effectively targets skin stem cells for potential gene therapy.

This review discusses the identification and classification of different wrinkle types based on histological features and microanatomy, emphasizing their varying responses to treatments, and reports no new clinical results.

In this study, researchers identified a putative ovine KAP24-1 gene in sheep, revealing four unique DNA sequences with some similarity to KRTAP24-1 sequences from other species.

This study found that penile and clitoral differentiation in mice is influenced by androgen exposure, with penile features developing postnatally requiring prenatal and ongoing androgen presence.

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 review outlines the genetic basis of GABEB, highlighting reduced type XVII collagen as a distinguishing marker from Herlitz JEB, and discusses potential therapeutic avenues without presenting new results.

Genes and hormones cause hair loss, with four genes contributing equally.

This study found associations between genetic predictors of increased testosterone and cardiovascular risk factors, but the implications for testosterone supplementation are unclear due to uncertainties in genetic variant functions.

This study identified a missense mutation in the rat Desmoglein 4 gene, causing abnormal hair shaft development in lanceolate hair mutant rats by disrupting a critical calcium binding site.

This article reviews the regulation of gene expression and assembly of intermediate filaments but presents no new findings.

This review examines alopecia, its causes, the impact of micronutrients, and the role of the Mediterranean diet, noting conflicting data and a need for more research on diet's effect on hair loss.

This study found that C. obtusa oils promoted hair growth in shaved mice and increased the expression of a hair growth regulator, VEGF, in a cell line.

Type I keratin genes are closely linked to the rex locus on mouse chromosome 11, affecting hair development.

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 reports the creation of rat liver stem cell lines that can differentiate into hepatocytes and suggests they might be useful for pharmacological and regenerative medicine applications.

This article reviews gender differences in skin disorders, highlighting variations in disease prevalence and type between sexes, but reports no new findings, emphasizing potential implications for prevention and treatment strategies.

In this study, researchers found no significant association between the D19S884 marker near the insulin receptor gene and polycystic ovary syndrome in women from Spain and Italy.

This study suggests that variations in PCOS phenotypes observed across different ethnic groups may be due to a genetic gradient resulting from historical human migrations and genetic drift.

This systematic review and meta-analysis reported potential risk variants for acne in genes related to inflammation and sebaceous gland function, including TNF, CYP17A1, and FST, across diverse populations.

This study provides evidence supporting a regulatory relationship between the transcriptional regulator Hoxc13 and Krtap16 genes, which are crucial for proper hair growth in mice.

In this study, decreased expression of BMP2 and ephrin A3 and increased NT-4 gene expression were observed in dermal papilla cells from androgenic alopecia-affected skin, suggesting potential roles in hair growth regulation.

This study suggests that down-regulation of vasculature-related genes in dermal papilla cells from balding scalps might contribute to the development of androgenetic alopecia.

This review discusses the genetic research developments in androgenetic alopecia, reporting no new clinical results, and highlights the potential for discovering novel therapeutic targets.

This study demonstrated that a specific 9-kbp fragment of the bovine keratin 6 gene effectively directs tissue-specific and inducible expression in transgenic mice, suggesting potential applications for targeted gene therapy in hyperproliferative skin conditions.

This review discusses the molecular mechanisms of masculinization involving androgen signaling and their roles in male embryonic development and conditions like hypospadias and prostate cancer, and reports no clinical results.

This study found that using 3D Gel-C6S-HA scaffolds seeded with VEGF165-modified rat hair follicle stem cells enhanced angiogenesis and vascularization in tissue-engineered skin, improving wound healing.
