Hairless mice lack fur due to a genetic mutation affecting skin response, not hormone issues.

This study found that using ectopic expression of CD24 is a promising approach for selecting genetically modified human epidermal stem cells for safe cutaneous gene therapy in cancer-prone conditions.

This study reviewed evidence on the role of specific genes (FKBP12, SAMAHD1, TRF2, CD155, and GATA3) in predicting how breast cancer patients might respond to adjuvant chemotherapy, aiming to monitor these markers in blood or tissue samples.

This study reports that dynamic interactions between stem cells and their niche, influenced by macro-environmental factors, regulate regenerative behavior in integument pattern formation.

This study suggests that the oncogene c-Myc can induce DNA damage by increasing reactive oxygen species, potentially overriding p53 and contributing to genetic instability in cancer cells.

This study found that administering melatonin for 12 weeks to women with PCOS significantly reduced hirsutism, testosterone, and inflammation markers, while enhancing antioxidant levels compared to a placebo.

This study found that sebaceous gland-derived cutaneous adnexal carcinomas exhibited the highest frequency of genomic alterations compared to other tumor types.

In this thesis, researchers explored ways to enhance the management of myotonic dystrophy type 1 by investigating the genetic inheritance patterns, especially small-sized repeat expansions, and assessing cardiac care, energy expenditure, and body composition in affected individuals.

This article discusses a proposed "Darwinian" model of carcinogenesis and emphasizes that cancer prevention involves more than avoiding mutagens, as gene-environment interactions are complex and non-linear.

In this study, conditional inactivation of the Mad2l1 SAC gene in mice led to aggressive and lethal acute lymphoblastic leukemia and hepatocellular carcinoma, demonstrating a link between chromosomal instability and cancer development.

In this study, a photographic scale and questionnaire revealed that extensive central scalp hair loss was observed in 5.6% of African American women, with an association to a history of tinea capitis.

This review highlights recent advancements in lipid nanoparticle technology for delivering genetic material and treating various diseases, but notes challenges in manufacturing, stability, and safety evaluations.

This study suggests a potential genetic link between gut microbiota and androgenetic alopecia, identifying specific microbial taxa associated with either increased or reduced risk.

This abstract reviews hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets, a rare genetic condition causing severe early childhood rickets, and reports no new results; effective treatment typically requires high doses of calcium to address hypocalcemia and secondary hyperparathyroidism.

This study in Saudi Arabia found that 55.9% of participants reported premature graying of hair before age 30, with risk factors including genetic, health, and lifestyle aspects such as smoking, anxiety, nutrient deficiencies, and family history.

This study identified a homozygous frameshift mutation in the HOXC13 gene associated with pure hair and nail ectodermal dysplasia in a consanguineous Syrian family, suggesting crucial roles for HOXC13 in hair and nail development.

This review discusses the use of human-to-mouse xenografting to study human skin processes in vivo, highlighting its importance for understanding skin regeneration and pathology while identifying knowledge gaps and challenges in applying these findings to human skin.

This study reports that a specific transporter protein in Staphylococcus hominis is responsible for transporting a malodour precursor, thereby playing a key role in human body odor production.

This report from SRUC VS highlighted a suspected case of Schmallenberg virus infection in a calf born to an imported heifer, noting consistent clinical signs and seroconversion in the dam.

This study observed that Finnish men aged 63 with androgenetic alopecia had higher rates of hypertension and diabetes compared to those with normal hair status.

This review discusses the potential of organoids in modeling COVID-19 disease and developing therapies, without reporting new results, and highlights opportunities and challenges in their application for research.

This commentary argues that adult stem cells are the "gold standard" in regenerative medicine due to their increasing clinical applications and lack of ethical controversy compared to embryonic stem cells.

This article reviews the types and characteristics of adrenal cortex tumors, including their hormone secretion and detection as incidental findings, but presents no new research results.

In this case report, a late preterm male infant presented with a pathogenic TP63 gene variant, consistent with Rapp-Hodgkin Syndrome, showing symptoms such as ichthyosiform erythroderma, cleft palate, and ankyloblepharon, highlighting the complex management and diagnostic challenges in such cases.

This study found that a missense mutation in the FGF5 gene is associated with hair-length differences among various dog breeds.

Acne is significantly influenced by genetics, and understanding its genetic basis could lead to better, targeted treatments.

This review explores the current understanding of genetic and hormonal influences on male androgenetic alopecia and female pattern hair loss, providing guidance for clinicians but reports no new results.

This study found compelling genetic evidence linking atopic and allergic conditions with the development of alopecia areata, suggesting a need for closer monitoring in affected individuals.

This review summarizes current understanding and genetic insights into androgenetic alopecia, female pattern hair loss, and alopecia areata, noting the potential future role of molecular diagnostics, but it reports no new clinical results.

This systematic review and meta-analysis found 30 genetic loci associated with skin ageing phenotypes, noting shared biological pathways in aspects like pigmentation and wrinkling; researchers suggest further studies targeting the same SNP across populations could clarify these associations.
