This review highlights recent advances in CRISPR-based lineage tracing methods that can improve our understanding of skin stem cell behavior, regeneration, and disease, with potential applications in organoids and model organisms.

This study found that selecting Angus cattle for early puberty reduced their prolactin levels, which may indicate a response to changing day length.

This study found that using trait prevalence-informed priors may improve the prediction accuracy of appearance traits in Bayesian models, but their application is limited by sparse knowledge on trait prevalence.

This study found that structural defects in the hair shafts of sighthounds with bald thigh syndrome are related to a downregulation of genes and proteins essential for hair shaft formation.

In this study, heritability analyses in twins and siblings revealed that genetic factors predominantly influence hair diameter and curvature, with notable sex differences in their genetic impact.

This article discusses the late presentation of myotonic dystrophy but reports no new clinical findings.

This study reported a previously undescribed form of hereditary hypotrichosis in a family, characterized by childhood-onset hair loss, morphea, and probable autosomal dominant inheritance.

This study found that hypospadias in male children is significantly associated with genetic polymorphisms in the Steroid 5 alpha reductase type 2 gene, higher parental age, consanguinity, rural residence, and preterm labor, with maternal age and rural residence being the strongest independent predictors.

Certain genes influence the direction of hair whorls on the scalp.

In this study, serum omentin-1 levels were significantly higher in females with idiopathic hirsutism compared to those with PCOS and healthy controls.

This abstract reports funding sources for ongoing research and does not present any study results.

This study found that wire brush hair snares collected the most hair from Eurasian Lynx in controlled enclosures, suggesting potential for sampling genetic material from similar felid species.

This study offers genetic evidence supporting a causal relationship between thyroid dysfunction and alopecia areata, which may help in managing and treating AA patients.

This review discusses the association between oxidative stress and alopecia areata while proposing antioxidants as a potential supplementary therapy, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study developed new genetic prediction models for male pattern baldness with improved accuracy by utilizing a large set of markers and independent datasets, making them the most reliable available for this trait.

This study reports the first cases of recessive KRT17-related pachyonychia congenita involving all ectodermal derivatives in seven members of two consanguineous Pakistani families.

This study concluded that hair pigmentation, as measured by eumelanin-to-pheomelanin ratio, is not a risk factor for developing alopecia areata when compared to androgenetic alopecia patients.

In this study, the researchers reported that patient impacts and symptoms of hidradenitis suppurativa, as assessed by HSIA and HSSA measures, are associated with clinical characteristics such as the number of abscesses and inflammatory nodules.

This study reports that a young man with severe testotoxicosis maintained spontaneous fertility despite suppressed FSH levels, underscoring the importance of high intratesticular testosterone levels for spermatogenesis.

This study identified genetic variations in the DSG4 gene among sheep, revealing valuable markers for assessing their impact on wool traits.

This study examined genetic risk factors for alopecia areata in the Jordanian population but found no significant association between the 21 targeted risk loci and the condition, emphasizing variability in genetic predisposition across ethnic groups and potential non-genetic triggers.

In this genetic study, the researchers found that variants in the CLEC4D gene are significantly associated with the development of alopecia areata among individuals in the Jordanian population, pointing to a potential genetic influence on the disease's pathogenesis.

This review explores the complex biological process of hair graying, highlighting oxidative stress, genetic factors, and interventions like antioxidants and genetic therapy as key aspects affecting the preservation of hair pigmentation.

In this study, researchers found that male and female APCHi mice exposed to ionizing radiation showed near-normal lipid and metabolite levels, suggesting activated protein C may offer some protective effects against radiation-induced damage affecting organ systems.

This study identified specific genetic markers related to wool quality in Rambouillet sheep, which may aid breeders in making informed selection and breeding decisions for improved fine wool production.

This review covers androgenetic alopecia's epidemiology, pathogenesis, current management options, and research trends, concluding that no definitive cure exists despite extensive interest and ongoing genetic research efforts.

This article reviews the prevalence, causes, and associated conditions of hidradenitis suppurativa, a chronic inflammatory skin disease, but reports no new clinical findings.

This review found that while forensic DNA phenotyping and health applications for pigmentation genetics show potential, factors like phenotype definition and population diversity present challenges to accurate genotype-to-appearance predictions.

This narrative review analyzed the literature on premature hair graying, identifying potential contributors such as nutrient deficiencies, oxidative and emotional stress, smoking, genetic factors, autoimmune diseases, and medication side effects, but reported no effective treatment to reverse it, underscoring the necessity for further research.

In this study, young female medical students at King Saud University reported a higher prevalence of physician-diagnosed PCOS compared to similar Western populations, and hirsutism was notably associated with the condition, highlighting the need for early screening and health education.
