GLABRA2 represses root hair formation by inhibiting a specific gene.

This research identified a genetic mutation in Brachypodium distachyon that initially allows root hair initiation but fails to elongate them, while also affecting root growth and nitrate sensitivity; the mutation is linked to a previously uncharacterized cyclin-dependent kinase-like gene.

This study identified mutations in the STUB1 gene linked to hereditary cerebellar ataxia with cognitive impairment, revealing potential effects on protein function and patient symptoms, including accelerated aging.

This study found that the restoration of CD103⁺γδ T cells in humans is associated with sustained remission in inflammatory bowel disease, suggesting a conserved role for these cells in limiting disease progression.

In this study, no significant change in androgen receptor gene expression was found in females with recurrent spontaneous abortion, but a mutant genotype may offer some protection against the condition.

This study found that CTHRC1 is crucial for sweat gland function and vascular network integrity in mice, and its administration improved sweat gland performance by reconstructing nearby blood vessels.

In this study, researchers found that IGFBP‐rP1 levels were lower in individuals with androgenic alopecia compared to healthy controls, and subcutaneous injection of IGFBP‐rP1 showed potential in slowing hair loss progression in a mouse model by affecting the hair cycle transition.

In this study, researchers found that the cell surface protein Lrig1 plays a crucial role in regulating the suppressive function of regulatory T cells, suggesting it as a potential target for treating autoimmune diseases, as evidenced by experiments in mouse models.

In this study, EREG promoted hair growth by activating specific receptors in cell and animal models, indicating it may be a potential treatment for hair loss.

This study found that CRABP1, Nestin, and Ephrin B2 are expressed in both the tumor stroma and invasive front of skin adnexal tumors and basal cell carcinomas.

GLABRA2 gene controls root-hair growth by regulating phospholipid signaling.

This study found a rare germline mutation in the Birt–Hogg–Dubé gene in a Japanese patient with renal cell carcinoma, suggesting distinct biological features and challenging current renal tumor classifications.

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.

This study suggests that CTHRC1, a protein expressed in cardiac fibroblasts, may improve wound repair and prevent cardiac rupture after myocardial infarction by activating a specific signaling pathway.

This study in mutant mice found that Bmpr2 and Acvr2a are individually redundant, but together essential for normal hair follicle development, with their reduction causing rapid hair cycling and graying.

This review assessed the role of scalp hair Survivin protein in individuals with premature graying, exploring its potential involvement in graying-related processes and highlighting its overexpression in autoimmune diseases that may influence the survival of specific immune cell clones.

In this study, transgenic mice expressing a truncated form of latent transforming growth factor-β-binding protein exhibited altered hair cycles due to increased active transforming growth factor-β, impacting keratinocyte proliferation and hair cycle phases.

This study found that topical ginsenoside Rg1 may protect skin from UVB-induced damage in mice by reducing pathological changes and modulating cytokine mRNA expression associated with inflammation and immune response.

This study found that expression of GDNF and GFR α-1 proteins in human skin decreases with age, particularly in the epidermis, suggesting that their signaling pathways may be altered as people grow older.

This study found that sustained ERK activity during tissue regeneration in spiny mice is linked to fibroblast growth factor and ErbB signaling, while inhibiting ERK shifted regeneration toward scarring.

This study found that mouse FLRG protein, a secreted glycoprotein, is expressed in certain tissues and plays a role distinct from follistatin during wound healing, suggesting different functions in vivo.

This study found that RSPO1 mutations in patients with a 46XX disorder of sexual development contribute to impaired skin integrity and increased risk of squamous cell carcinoma in areas subject to friction.

This study observed a significant increase in cellular retinol-binding protein-1 expression in lesional skin of patients with alopecia areata compared to healthy controls, suggesting its potential role in the disease's pathogenesis.

This study found that cellular retinoic acid-binding proteins and fatty acid-binding proteins are dynamically expressed in skin development and respond differently to retinoic acid, β-catenin, and Notch signaling.

In this study, researchers reported that a keratinocyte growth factor-Ig fusion protein could specifically detect and localize KGFRs in epithelial tissues, suggesting a method for histochemical detection of growth factor receptors.

This study reports a novel homozygous mutation in the DST gene causing a unique form of epidermolysis bullosa simplex with prurigo papules in a 39-year-old Syrian man.

This study found that GLI2 plays a key role in activating follistatin, an activin/BMP antagonist, in response to hedgehog signaling in human epidermal cells, with implications for hair follicle development and basal cell carcinoma.

In this case report, a three-generation family with Gorlin-Goltz syndrome showed a heterozygous PTCH1 splice-donor variant associated with the disease, and two affected relatives benefited from individualized, side-effect-guided dosing of the drug sonidegib, experiencing regression of basal cell carcinoma lesions.
