This study describes a mouse model for Marie Unna Hereditary Hypotrichosis, identifying mutations in the hairless gene that result in sparse or absent hair and cyst-like hair follicles.

This study found that keratin 17 expression is initially down-regulated and later strongly up-regulated by ionizing radiation in a rat model, with p53 repressing early transcription.

A genetic mutation caused severe rickets and alopecia in an Indian patient, but high-dose calcium and phosphate treatment improved their condition.

This case study describes a Doberman Pinscher with a unique alopecic variant of chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus that progressed to systemic lupus erythematosus, highlighting a rare autoimmune alopecia form in dogs.

This study identified a new genetic variant in the KRT71 gene responsible for a breed-specific form of hypotrichosis in Hereford cattle, potentially serving as a model for similar human conditions.

In this study, researchers used NIH hairless mice to uncover genetic markers associated with hair loss and identified a Lama3 point mutation as a potential genetic contributor, creating a mutant mouse model that may advance the study of androgenetic alopecia.

This study observed that maize plants, including a root hairless mutant variety, did not exhibit typical root growth or compensatory foraging behavior under severe boron deficiency in soil, indicating atypical responses compared to other plants.

This review compiles existing research on infrared radiation's effects on human skin, noting both its potential harmful thermal impacts and encouraging therapeutic applications, but reports no new clinical results.

In this case report, a 25-year-old woman with VKHD experienced an unusual occurrence of vellus-like hair growth on her normally hairless palm, observed twice over two years, expanding the known integumentary manifestations of VKHD.

In this clinical study, the researchers found that a standardized wheat polar lipid complex, in both oil and powder form, significantly reduced hair shedding and improved hair growth in 99 women with acute telogen effluvium over 56 to 84 days.

This study reports a rare case of amyloid-associated alopecia, confirmed through histologic analysis, as a scalp manifestation in a patient with primary systemic amyloidosis.

This review summarizes recent advances in understanding the molecular mechanisms of hair follicle formation and discusses potential future clinical applications for treating hair loss and skin tumors, but it reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the critical role of BMP signaling in the development and regulation of skin and hair follicles and notes that further research could aid therapeutic advances; it presents no new clinical results.

Phospholipase Cδ1 is crucial for normal skin and hair development.

This study found that disrupting the Sox21 gene in mice led to progressive hair loss and regrowth, identifying Sox21 as a key regulator of hair shaft cuticle differentiation.

This study reports that LL-37 treatment enhances cell proliferation, migration, and secretion of regenerative factors in adipose-derived stem cells, potentially promoting hair growth in vivo.

In this study, the researchers identified a temperature-sensitive mutant in Arabidopsis thaliana, showing disrupted root hair formation and altered responses to plant hormone treatments at elevated temperatures.

This study found that transcription factors HOXC13, LEF1, and FOXN1 repress DSG4 transcription, with the Notch pathway possibly involved in maintaining DSG4 expression in hair follicles.

This study observed that maize plants enhance phosphorus acquisition by promoting both root hair growth and lateral root development in response to localized nutrient patches, highlighting a complementary root trait trade-off.

This study found that microwave-assisted Opuntia humifusa extract improved antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties to counteract particulate matter's harmful effects on HaCaT keratinocytes.

This study found that osthole, a coumarin derivative, demonstrated significantly higher skin accumulation and potential skin irritation compared to coumarin, which showed negligible alterations in protein biomarkers.

This review article highlights the potential of mesenchymal stem cells, their exosomes, and non-coding RNAs in repairing aging skin tissues due to their ability to secrete beneficial compounds, suggesting their promising role in photoaging treatment without causing immune rejection or granuloma formation.

This review discusses the role of proteomics in understanding skin diseases such as cancers and psoriasis, with findings suggesting cell death and metabolism as major areas of focus, but reports no new experimental results.

This study found that overexpression and knockdown of DKK4 influence genes involved in hair follicle growth and development in Angora rabbits and identified specific SNPs in DKK4 associated with wool quality, notably showing that the TT/GG haplotype combination relates to higher fibre diameters.

This paper reviews existing studies on the role of environmental humidity in skin health, highlighting that low humidity can impair the skin's barrier function and trigger inflammatory responses, though the precise mechanisms remain to be fully explored.

This study identified a gene variant in the TRPV3 gene that may explain the suri alpaca phenotype, characterized by longer and less crimped fleece, suggesting this variant's involvement in the development of these hair characteristics compared to the huacaya phenotype.

This study observed that in a mouse model of androgenetic alopecia, treatments with LTF, 5% minoxidil, and LTF-DPC-EXO significantly promoted hair regeneration compared to the model group, potentially through modulation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

This study identified that in pig embryos, the miR-29a-5p/EDAR/lncRNA627.1 ceRNA complex plays a critical role in inhibiting hair placode precursor cells proliferation and regulating hair placode formation through the suppression of EDAR expression, which may provide insights into similar mechanisms affecting human hair conditions.

Hair follicles in people with alopecia have lower levels of a key blood vessel growth protein.

This study found that systemic ovalbumin–aluminum sensitization followed by cutaneous challenge in mice induced thermal hyperalgesia, increased spinal cord gliosis, and sprouting of nociceptive fibers, along with elevated mast cell and nerve profile densities in the skin compared to controls.
