This study found that cetaceans have adapted their fibroblast growth factors to assist in low bone density, hypoxia tolerance, and the development of rigid flippers, reflecting significant evolutionary changes for aquatic life.

This study explored the molecular biology of skin adaptations in pangolins, revealing that certain genes for lipid synthesis have inactive patterns, while others related to skin function remain intact, suggesting complex evolutionary changes in their skin physiology.

This study found that a gene from hamster flank organs is indirectly regulated by androgens, despite lacking direct androgen responsive elements, indicating involvement of androgen-dependent transcription factors.

This narrative review discusses the discovery of plasticity in epidermal stem cells using single-cell transcriptomics, but reports no new results; it highlights the potential implications for regenerative medicine.

This study demonstrated that RNA-seq can effectively expand hair follicle transcriptomic profiling in a multi-center study, offering deeper insights than blood transcriptomics alone.

This study investigated pangolin skin genetics, finding that while sweat gland-related genes are not inactivated, several genes related to sebaceous gland function are, which highlights complex evolutionary adaptations in mammalian skin.

This study identified a genetic variant in the SGK3 gene related to hairlessness in Scottish Deerhounds, suggesting a similar role for androgen-independent hair loss in humans.

This study highlights the loss of hair-type keratin genes in cetaceans compared to terrestrial mammals, suggesting a potential adaptive role linked to their hairless phenotype and habitat changes.

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.

This study found that while the KRTAP gene family is unique to mammals, humans have a similar number of these hair gene types as other primates despite having less body hair.

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.
