This study identified 63 genetic loci associated with male-pattern baldness, uncovering genes and pathways that may help develop treatments and suggesting its connection to other human conditions.

This review discusses infertility in polycystic ovary syndrome and therapeutic options, without reporting new results; it underscores the importance of personalized treatment plans based on patient needs and disease characteristics.

This study found significant gender-based differences in forehead dimensions among 297 participants, with males showing larger vertical measurements, which could inform applications in forensic identification, cosmetic surgery, and anthropological research.

This study identified a new gene in sheep, KRTAP36-2, discovering variants associated with wool yield. Variations in this gene were linked to the efficiency of fleece conversion from greasy to clean, which may enhance wool production.

In this study, researchers identified six unique genetic variants of a sheep gene, KRTAP19-3, with specific variants linked to changes in wool fibre traits, such as increased fibre diameter variability, suggesting these genetic differences affect wool characteristics in Chinese Tan sheep.

This study observed that genetic variation in the ovine KRTAP22-1 gene is linked to increased wool yield and decreased fiber curvature in sheep, indicating its potential use in breeding programs.

This study found that in Merino-Southdown cross sheep, the presence of the C variant of the KRTAP26-1 gene was associated with higher wool quality, including increased wool yield and staple length.

In this study, KRTAP28-1 variants were associated with wool fibre diameter in sheep, suggesting potential as a gene marker for reducing fibre diameter.

This review discusses the role of keratin-associated proteins in the growth and characteristics of wool and hair fibres from sheep and goats, and highlights areas for future research, but it presents no new findings.

In this study, researchers observed that Malassezia species show different lipid metabolism and growth patterns depending on pH, with slightly acidic conditions promoting beneficial lipid bio-conversion for skin health, while neutral pH resulted in lower growth and lipid content, potentially negatively impacting the skin.

This study identified a new ovine KRTAP21-1 gene variant in sheep, with wool yield affected by the variant, suggesting its potential as a genetic marker for improving wool production.

In this study, researchers found that the thickness of various skin layers in Bos indicus cattle varied significantly by body region, with the neck and shoulder being thickest, and that male skin might be more suited for quality leather production compared to female skin.

In this study on Chinese Tan sheep, researchers discovered a variant of the KRTAP19-5 gene associated with decreased curvature of fine wool fibres, highlighting potential genetic markers for improving wool quality.

Among Merino × Southdown cross sheep, this study found that certain variants of the KRT81 gene were associated with differences in fleece weight, but not with staple length or fibre diameter traits.

This study found that genetic variation in the KRTAP21-2 gene among crossbred Merino lambs was associated with differences in wool traits, particularly mean staple length.

This study identified three genes in the ovine KAP13 family on chromosome 1 and found that a specific allele of KRTAP13-2 is associated with improved wool fibre diameter uniformity in Chinese Tan sheep, suggesting its potential use as a marker for enhancing wool traits.

This review discusses the association between emotional stress-related neuropeptides and the pathogenesis of alopecia areata, reporting no new experimental findings.

In this study, a specific genetic variant of KRTAP6-2 in Longdong cashmere goats was associated with finer cashmere fiber diameter, suggesting its potential as a molecular marker for breeding improvements.

In this study, nucleotide sequence variation in the KRTAP13-3 gene was associated with changes in heterotypic hair fibre diameter variation in Chinese Tan sheep.

This study suggests that variations in α-keratin proteins influence the structure and characteristics of wool fibers, indicating that keratin genes could serve as useful markers for identifying different wool traits.

This study identified novel genetic variations in the KRTAP22-2 gene among eight sheep breeds but found no association between these genotypes and wool fibre traits, indicating possible species-specific differences compared to goats.

In this study, researchers found that the keratin-associated protein 36-1 gene (KRTAP36-1) allele C is linked to variations in mean fibre curvature of fine wool in Chinese Tan lambs, suggesting its role in their distinctive curly coat.

This genetic study identified four new keratin-associated protein genes in sheep, revealing significant sequence variation and suggesting complex evolutionary dynamics, with unique variants in some sheep breeds linking them to Romanov sheep ancestry.
