This study discovered nine human type I hair keratin genes, including a transcribed pseudogene, in a 190 kbp genomic region, revealing three gene subclusters based on sequence homologies.

CaBP1 and CaBP2 are important for maintaining hearing by supporting continuous calcium currents and nerve signaling in the ear.

This article reviews the role of LMNA gene mutations, particularly in Hutchinson–Gilford progeria syndrome, but does not report new experimental findings.

In this study, researchers developed a responsive bilayer hydrogel for diabetic wounds that delivers drugs and oxygen in sync with healing stages, achieving a 99.1% wound closure rate in 14 days by integrating anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anti-fouling functions.

In this preliminary study, HBOT appeared to improve subjective measures of hair and scalp health in healthy adults, but objective changes in follicle density and hair properties were not statistically significant.

In this case study, a 26-year-old female with PLEC mutations and features of muscular dystrophy and myasthenia gravis showed significant improvement in symptoms following steroid treatment.

This study describes a novel hairless mutant rat strain, F344-Hr(krh), developed via ENU mutagenesis, which provides a model for skin disease and potentially focal glomerulosclerosis due to specific genetic mutations.

In this study, dried Gambhari fruit extract was found to increase cell viability and growth of human follicle dermal papilla cells in vitro, showing potential hair growth-promoting activity comparable to Minoxidil 5% at selected concentrations.

This study found that incorporating CTA2-BADG, a modified hair-rebonding compound, into damaged hair significantly improved surface morphology and tensile strength by using charge-conversion chemistry to enhance penetration into the hair shaft.

This study found that modulating BMP activity in transgenic mice affects the development and characteristics of several ectodermal organs, such as skin, hair, and claws, highlighting a stage-dependent influence on organogenesis.

This report documents a 14-year-old Chinese boy with mitochondrial encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, stroke-like episodes, and a de novo A3243G mitochondrial DNA mutation, highlighting the condition's multisystem involvement without ragged red fibers in muscle biopsy.

In this case study, a 68-year-old woman with hyperandrogenism and presumed ovarian origin responded well to GnRH agonist therapy, normalizing testosterone levels and stabilizing blood pressure, suggesting its effectiveness as a non-surgical treatment option.

This study explores premature graying of hair, outlining potential causes such as genetic factors, nutritional deficiencies, and autoimmune disorders, and evaluates various management strategies including nutritional supplements, pharmacotherapy, and addressing underlying conditions.

This study identified a genetic variant in the SGK3 gene related to hairlessness in Scottish Deerhounds, suggesting a similar role for androgen-independent hair loss in humans.

This study found that C57BL/6 mice and Sprague–Dawley rats show distinct distributions of eccrine sweat glands and hair follicles in their volar skin, suggesting these models should be selected according to research focus on skin appendages.

In this study, researchers developed an electrochemical method using gold nanostructures on a glassy carbon electrode to detect minoxidil levels in hair lotions, and found it effectively quantified minoxidil in commercial products, revealing discrepancies in their labeled versus actual concentrations.

This study diagnosed a group of six girls with various ectodermal abnormalities, identifying cranio-skeletal malformations consistent with focal dermal hypoplasia (Goltz syndrome), and found heterozygous mutations in the PORCN gene in two children.

This study found that HFV70 cryogels, made from Flammulina velutipes extract and hydroxyethyl cellulose, effectively promoted rapid hemostasis and tissue regeneration in full-thickness skin defects in rats, demonstrating improved hemocompatibility, cytocompatibility, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties.

The compound (NH4)2Mn0.17Cu0.83Cl4.2H₂O has a specific structure, shows weak magnetism at low temperatures, and undergoes phase changes at high temperatures.

In this study, researchers evaluated how subjects perceive the effectiveness of three FDA-cleared photobiomodulation devices for home use in treating androgenetic alopecia, though specific outcomes or comparative effectiveness are not reported in the abstract.

This study found that the MsPG3-GFP fusion protein accumulates at the growing root hair tips in Medicago plants, suggesting its role in tip growth during symbiosis.

This study found that hair from mice with the Naked trait mutation has significantly lower levels of glycine and tyrosine, suggesting a deficiency in a specific protein fraction.

This study found that Gyungohkgo-gamibang extract and minoxidil both significantly stimulated hair growth and increased hair density and thickness in C57BL/6 mice compared to a vehicle treatment.

Researchers found a new area on chromosome 2 linked to a genetic hair loss condition.

This study observed that the catagen phase in hairless mice displayed a slower shortening of the mutant epithelial column, resulting in longer total follicle length and abnormalities in the connective tissue sheath and glassy membrane.

This study found that MBN, an herbal extract fermented by Lactobacillus plantarum, promoted hair growth and increased related gene expression in C57BL/6 mice.

This study determined the broad class and molecular species of glycerophospholipids in Eastern red bat sebum, highlighting differences from previous bat lung surfactant studies.

This article discusses the pulmonary manifestations of Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome, noting diagnostic challenges in differentiating it from other lung conditions, and underlines the need for further research on folliculin's role in cyst formation.
