This study found that a genetic model using SNPs can predict early-onset male-pattern baldness with moderate accuracy, which may assist in decisions about interventions.

This study found that among middle-aged Korean women, those with metabolic syndrome had a higher risk of androgenetic alopecia, while no significant association was observed in men.

This study reports a case of bovine besnoitiosis in Germany characterized by specific skin lesions, with diagnosis confirmed through histopathology, serology, and PCR as Besnoitia besnoiti.

In this study using mice with specific gene knockouts, both farnesyltransferase and geranylgeranyltransferase-I were found to be essential for the proliferation and survival of skin keratinocytes.

This study found that chronic exposure to fadrozole or finasteride during frog development induced intersex individuals, which displayed different gene expression profiles depending on the chemical used.

This review discusses recent advances in understanding the genetics of hair and nail disorders and reports no new clinical results.

This study suggests that the HCR risk allele within the PSORS1 locus may contribute to psoriasis susceptibility by altering gene expression related to skin structure and differentiation, although these changes alone might not result in clinical symptoms.

This study identified a nonsense mutation in the zinc-finger domain of the hairless gene associated with congenital atrichia in a Japanese family, indicating a potential genetic cause for this rare form of alopecia.

This review discusses various gene therapy and non-viral delivery methods to promote angiogenesis for chronic wound healing, but it reports no new clinical results.

This review explores the potential of using genetically-manipulated stem cells as both therapeutic agents and gene delivery vehicles for enhanced wound regeneration, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found genetic variations, including de novo variants and copy number variations, that may be associated with phenotypic discordance in monozygotic twins with various clinical conditions.

In this study, Geranium sibiricum L. extract promoted hair growth in vitro with human dermal papilla cells and in vivo in mice, outperforming minoxidil by proliferating cells and stimulating growth factor expression, suggesting its potential as a hair growth treatment.

This article reviews the connection between PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway mutations and heritable skin diseases characterized by tissue overgrowth, but it reports no new clinical results.

This case report describes how discontinuing the EGFR inhibitor gefitinib led to rapid improvement of erosive scalp pustules in a woman with non-small-cell lung cancer, despite previous antibiotic and steroid treatment failures.

The study reported a significant genotype–phenotype correlation in prepubescent males with XLHED, particularly in the severity of skin and hair manifestations between those with different EDA mutations.

This study found that in an Italian population, the HLA-DQB1*03 allele was associated with increased susceptibility to alopecia areata, particularly in cases with more than 50% hair loss.

In this study, researchers identified a cluster of hair-specific keratin-associated protein genes within the 21q22.3 region, revealing a novel transcription mechanism involving TSPEAR/C21orf29 that may bypass typical transcriptional termination sites.

This review discusses advancements in gene delivery to hair follicles and suggests potential gene therapy applications for treating hair loss, but it reports no new experimental results.

This review examines hair removal practices prior to genital gender affirming surgery, noting current variations and offering a practical laser hair removal approach, but reports no new clinical results.

This study demonstrates the use of the CRISPR-Cas9 system to successfully edit the EDAR gene in Cashmere goats, resulting in goats with distinct hair follicle characteristics.

This study found that individuals with early onset extensive androgenetic alopecia have an elevated ratio of DHT to testosterone, but no significant genetic linkage to markers on chromosomes 2 or 5 was detected.

This article states that hormone therapy with estrogens and antiandrogens for transgender females is within an obstetrician-gynecologist's practice scope and involves careful dosing and monitoring to manage short-term thrombotic risks.

This study identified a specific SNP in the CACNB4 gene associated with a higher risk of chemotherapy-induced alopecia in breast cancer patients, which may help develop interventions to improve their quality of life.

In this study, inhibiting the formation of 5α-reduced steroids in pregnant rats shortened gestation time, reduced litter size, and impaired cognitive and neuroendocrine function in their juvenile offspring.

This review discusses the current understanding of genes coding for hair and avian keratins, highlighting gene structure and protein sequences, but reports no new experimental findings.

This study produced a high-coverage genome of the Tyrolean Iceman, revealing no Steppe-related ancestry but significant Anatolian-farmer-related ancestry, and found genetic markers associated with darker skin, male-pattern baldness, type 2 diabetes, and obesity, aligning with observations of his mummified body.
