This study found that basal cell carcinoma cells differentiate along hair follicle lineages and may be influenced by hair follicle cycle modulators for potential therapeutic targeting.

This study suggests that heparan sulfate is crucial for regulating hair follicle formation, cycling, and gland morphogenesis, with its ablation leading to continuous hair growth and increased gland activity in mice.

This report details two patients with Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria syndrome who exhibited generalized shiny skin in infancy and had a novel mutation in the LMNA gene.

In this study, beagle dogs treated with hydrocortisone 17-butyrate 21-propionate ointment showed various toxic effects, including acne-like skin changes and organ atrophy, which returned to normal after a recovery period.

This study found that in yak hair follicles, TGF-β2 significantly contributes to the transition from growth to regression phases via inducing apoptosis, whereas HSP70 appears to inhibit follicle regression by protecting epithelial cells from apoptosis.

This study identified a homozygous frameshift mutation in the HOXC13 gene associated with pure hair and nail ectodermal dysplasia in a consanguineous Syrian family, suggesting crucial roles for HOXC13 in hair and nail development.

This study reported that Indian hedgehog (Ihh) signaling plays a crucial role in regulating tumor progression and metastasis in epithelial cancers, with Ihh deficiency leading to increased malignancy and metastasis in mice.

This study found that knockout mice lacking intestinal hephaestin are smaller and anemic compared to wild-type, suggesting other mechanisms may compensate for iron absorption.

This study found that histidine decarboxylase is crucial for the hair-inducing ability of newborn mouse dermal cells, with its expression significantly decreasing in the first few days after birth.

This study reported that heterozygosity for FHIT affects mice's susceptibility to spontaneous alopecia areata and to certain preneoplastic lesions induced by benzo[a]pyrene, but does not change how they respond to budesonide and N-acetyl-L-cysteine.

This study identified a single autosomal recessive gene responsible for hypotrichosis in a mutant rabbit strain, affecting hair growth and causing epidermal and hair follicle abnormalities.

This study suggests that human lymphoblastoid interferon, with or without prednisolone pretreatment, may be an effective and safe treatment option for hepatitis B in Oriental patients compared to placebo.

This report describes a clinical case of a 38-year-old man diagnosed with Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome, confirmed by genetic testing, highlighting the presentation of multiple renal tumors and bilateral lung cysts.

This review discusses phenotypic differences in testosterone production between mice and humans with HSD17B3 deficiency and reports no new findings; the authors highlight potential pathways and enzymes involved in testosterone synthesis.

This study identified a human sequence likely coding for a new ultra-high sulphur protein, which may aid in understanding hair differentiation and the molecular basis of human trichothiodystrophy.

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.

This study found that recombinant hepatitis B vaccine may increase the risk of alopecia areata onset in older predisposed mice but larger trials suggest this effect might lie within normal variation.

This study reports a mutation in the U2HR gene causing Marie Unna hereditary hypotrichosis in a Turkish family and notes eyebrow loss as a diagnostic clue.

This study found that women with idiopathic hyperandrogenemia had higher urinary Bisphenol A levels compared to healthy controls, suggesting a potential role of this chemical in the condition.

This study found that monoclonal antibodies can identify specific immunological characteristics of hair fibrous proteins, with some antibodies reacting only with hair proteins and others showing broader activity with skin and epithelial cells.

This study found that a recessive mutation in the RHD4 gene of Arabidopsis thaliana leads to slower and more variable tip growth in seedling root hairs, resulting in shorter and wider hairs than in wild-type plants.

This study suggests that women with idiopathic hirsutism have increased 5α-reductase activity, indicated by elevated levels of 3α-diol glucuronide; further research is needed to assess its clinical biomarker potential.

This review discusses idiopathic hirsutism and suggests that combination treatment, including androgen suppression and cosmetic methods, is most effective, but notes that its pathogenesis remains unclear.

Women with idiopathic hirsutism and PCOS have higher RBP4 levels, and PCOS is linked to greater insulin resistance; weight management may help both conditions.

This study reports the successful management of acute liver failure in a 25-year-old woman with concurrent Hepatitis B and autoimmune hepatitis, using a combination of steroids, azathioprine, and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate.

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, 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.

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.
