This study identified novel isoforms of the PADI2 and PADI3 proteins, showing that PADI2β inhibits oligodendrocyte differentiation, possibly by opposing the effect of canonical PADI2, while PADI3β modulates the activity of PADI3α, suggesting new regulatory mechanisms of citrullination in tissue development.

In this case report, researchers described a two-year-old girl with Vitamin D dependent rickets Type II, noting elevated 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and alopecia, and observed limited treatment response likely due to poor compliance.

This study found that BBS7 downregulation in occlusal hypofunctional periodontal ligament tissue is associated with reduced Sonic hedgehog signaling activity, potentially playing a key role in maintaining PDL homeostasis.

This study identified a new type II cytokeratin, named K6hf, exclusively expressed in the companion layer of the human hair follicle, distinguishing it from other keratins and suggesting a unique biochemical role.

This study suggests that the activation of box A in mesenchymal cell models may enhance stem cell properties, increasing the expression of stemness markers like OCT4, NANOG, and SOX2.

This study identifies a mechanism where dsRNA activates TLR3 to induce RA production, promoting hair follicle regeneration in mice and suggesting a potential role in human tissue regeneration.

In this study, researchers found that β-catenin directly promotes TERT expression in stem and cancer cells by interacting with the Tert promoter, illustrating a mechanistic link between tumorigenesis and pluripotency.

This study found that preconditioning adipose-derived stem cells with HB-EGF enhanced their ability to promote hair growth in vivo by increasing their motility, paracrine effects, and survival.

In this case study, DDS treatment for LABD was complicated by hemolytic anemia and alopecia, suggesting the need for careful monitoring of these potential side effects.

This study found that the transcription factor HB24 plays a critical role in root hair elongation in Arabidopsis thaliana by promoting the conversion of indole-3-butyric acid to indole-3-acetic acid through regulation of IBR1 expression.

This study reports on an ongoing Phase I/IIa clinical trial of ex vivo gene therapy for treating severe Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa, involving six adult participants with COL7A1 mutations resulting in deficient type VII collagen production.

This study found that HDAC6 plays a crucial role in regulating primordial follicle activation, with its overexpression delaying activation and preserving fertility by reducing NGF levels.

This study observed a strong negative association between the HLA-DQB1*0201 allele and the alopecia totalis/alopecia universalis phenotype in Caucasian individuals, indicating a potential protective role.

This study found that recombinant human ADM2 treatment inhibited cell proliferation and induced apoptosis in human hair follicles, contrasting with the previously documented pro-proliferative and anti-apoptotic functions of ADM2.

This case report highlights the use of microarray analysis to identify cryptic chromosomal rearrangements in a young woman with intellectual disability and multiple congenital anomalies.

This study found that CTIP2 is highly expressed in mouse skin during embryogenesis and adulthood, suggesting it may play a role in skin development and homeostasis.

In this case report, a newborn with Conradi-Hünermann-Happle syndrome was diagnosed through early skin biopsy, which revealed unique histopathological features, including dystrophic calcifications, confirming a pathogenic variant in the EBP gene.

This study demonstrated that lactate dehydrogenase activity is notably high in quiescent hair follicle stem cells within mouse skin using a specific enzymatic activity assay.

This study reports that newly diagnosed patients with Bachmann-Bupp syndrome exhibit a broader phenotype than previously documented, including late-onset seizures, and suggests a possible universal biochemical mechanism involving elevated ODC activity.

In this study, researchers observed elevated levels of epidermal γδ T cells, keratinocytes, and an upregulation of the BST2 gene among immune cells in C3H/HeJ mice with alopecia areata, suggesting a potential role in disease pathogenesis.

This study identified a monoclonal antibody, HKN-2, that recognizes specific cells in human skin and may indicate a common antigenic determinant between hair and other skin epithelial tissues.

This study reports that the near-naked hairless mutation in mice is not an allele of the Hairless gene but may involve a mutation in a linked gene or a regulatory mutation.

This study found that autophagy is impaired in Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome-associated renal tumors and identified that the FLCN protein interacts with key autophagy components regulated by ULK1.

This study identified ABCB6 as the first gene linked to dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria (DUH) in a large Chinese family, suggesting it plays a role in skin pigmentation.

Hair differentiation starts earlier than thought, involving multiple type-II keratins.

This study found pathogenic mutations in genes EDA, EDA1R, and EDARADD in 101 out of 124 hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia patients, revealing 23 novel mutations and indicating genetic variability.

In vivo using the C3H mouse model, this study observed that BST2 expression occurs before hair loss in alopecia areata and is followed by an increase in epidermal γδ T cell numbers.

This study found that BBS7 is crucial for maintaining Sonic hedgehog signaling activity and periodontal ligament homeostasis, with changes in gene expression observed in occlusal hypofunctional PDL.

A specific gene mutation causes sparse, brittle hair in a family.
