This study found a statistically significant increase in glycosylated hemoglobins among patients with adult-acquired panhypopituitarism undergoing long-term GH replacement therapy, with two developing diabetes requiring treatment.

This study found that in a mouse model with hereditary 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D resistant rickets, a mutant vitamin D receptor lacking hormone-binding ability could restore normal hair cycling and affect parathyroid hormone regulation.

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 mapped gene expression in different skin structures of dogs, finding similarities to humans that support using dogs as models for human skin diseases.

This study explains that while trichothiodystrophy and xeroderma pigmentosum share genetic defects, TTD patients primarily exhibit issues in transcription initiation, not the increased skin cancer risk seen in XP.

Three related Persian cats have a rare, likely hereditary skin condition causing hair loss and poor coat quality, with limited treatment options.

This study found that a heterozygous missense mutation in ATR is associated with a hereditary cancer syndrome, manifested by oropharyngeal cancer and other anomalies, in an autosomal-dominant inheritance pattern across a five-generation family.

This article discusses genetic hair disorders in children, outlining diagnostic approaches and highlighting the significance of distinguishing isolated hair defects from those associated with syndromes, but it reports no new clinical results.

In this study, it was observed that NIPAL4 mutations linked to autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis lead to abnormal skin barrier function due to cytotoxic effects disrupting lipid structure and organization, which topical treatments only partially ameliorated.

This study analyzed scalp hair proteins from healthy children and their mothers, finding that non-structural proteins could serve as promising biomarkers for understanding long-term developmental changes and health status linked to early childhood experiences.

This study identified and characterized a gene called 4C32, which is expressed in the periderm of embryonic mouse skin and has a structure similar to keratin-associated proteins.

This study found that mutations in the hairless gene in mice disrupt hair follicle integrity during catagen, leading to baldness due to disintegrating epithelial structures and loss of normal dermal papilla.

This review explores the diverse physiological roles of the vitamin D endocrine system, discussing current research on receptor structure, transcription details, murine models, and alternative receptors, but reports no new findings.

In this case report, a 38-year-old woman with Parry–Romberg syndrome displayed left-sided facial atrophy and subclinical central nervous system involvement detectable by neuroimaging, suggesting that even symptom-free cases may benefit from systematic brain evaluations.

This review highlights the lack of research on Afro-textured hair, emphasizing the need for better understanding of its genetic traits and molecular structure to develop more effective hair care solutions.

This study found that the lack of expression and deletion of specific hair keratin genes on chromosome 7q36 in Hirosaki hairless rats suggests the crucial role of these genes in hair growth.

This study found that KRTAP2 proteins predominantly express in the hair shaft cortex of humans, interact with hair keratins, and play crucial roles in hair shaft keratinization.

This study found that a keratin mutation may cause diffuse partial woolly hair associated with loose anagen hair syndrome in some families, but other genetic factors could play a role in different cases.

This review examined the role of organoid technology in modeling genetic diseases, highlighting its promise for understanding disease pathology and developing tailored treatments by integrating genetic insights with advancements in regenerative medicine and biological engineering.

This review discusses the classification and diagnosis of hair shaft disorders based on fragility and emphasizes preventive care due to the lack of specific treatments.

This study evaluated a novel, user-friendly approach for detecting hairfall trends over time using machine learning models. The Temporal Fusion Transformer model demonstrated high accuracy in identifying anomalies in hair shedding patterns, potentially aiding in the early detection of health risks related to hormonal fluctuations.

This research suggests that the vitamin D receptor may regulate hair follicle cycling and provide genoprotection against skin carcinogenesis through a mechanism independent of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, based on evidence from mouse models.

The enzyme PA-PLA1α is important for proper hair follicle development.

A new mutation, Glu402Lys, in hair keratin is linked to variable symptoms of monilethrix.

In this study, researchers found that overexpression of the hairless protein in Hr mutant mice disrupts inner root sheath formation by downregulating Dlx3 and associated keratins in hair follicle development.

In this study, researchers identified that the oncomodulin protein lineage, specifically the gene pvalb8, plays a crucial role in the development and function of auditory hair cells in zebrafish by promoting cell proliferation through the Wnt signaling pathway.

This report presents a case of acrodermatitis enteropathica in a 22-year-old female, highlighting the absence of underlying comorbid conditions.

This study found that the hHa1-t protein variant, caused by a genetic polymorphism in the hHa1 gene, forms functional keratin filaments despite lacking a complete nonhelical tail domain, explaining the absence of a pathological hair phenotype.

This study found that AHCC supplementation significantly reduced alopecia severity in Ara-C treated rats and mitigated liver injury-related side effects in mice treated with 6-MP and MTX.

This review discusses the effects of the epidermal growth factor receptor system on skin biology and pathology, relying on animal models to analyze roles in cellular processes, wound healing, and tumorigenesis, but reports no new results.
