This study identified a new cis-regulatory element in the mouse Hr gene that influences its expression in skin and brain cells, highlighting a complex molecular network involved in hair follicle formation.

This study developed a foxn1-deficient Xenopus laevis model using CRISPR/Cas9, observing reduced T-cell markers and altered immune responses in tadpoles, providing a nonmammalian model for immunological research.

This study found that transgenic expression of COX-2 in mouse basal keratinocytes causes epidermal hyperplasia and certain dysplastic features at specific body sites.

This study found that Msx2-deficient mice exhibit skull and bone formation defects similar to those seen in human MSX2-related conditions, highlighting the gene's importance in skeletal and organ development.

This study describes a co-dominant E410D mutation in keratin hHb6 associated with severe hair loss and extensive papules in homozygous individuals, with variable expression in heterozygous family members.

This study found that WWOX deficiency in mice leads to impaired skin development, reduced epidermal thickness, and significant hypothermia due to disrupted cell proliferation and homeostasis.

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.

In this study, LHX2 and SOX9 were found to mark distinct epithelial progenitor cell populations within human hair follicles, suggesting roles in maintaining the hair follicle epithelium.

This study identified a critical NF-κB-LHX2-TGFβ2 signaling pathway essential for primary hair follicle development in mice, revealing new insights into the underlying mechanisms of morphogenesis.

This study found that the hairless gene in mice has a more extensive role in development than previously thought, as indicated by its expression in various tissues and associated abnormalities in hr/hr mutants.

This study suggests that the COX-2 enzyme plays a role in hair follicle biology, as transgenic overexpression in mice induced hair follicle cycling disturbances and alopecia, which was mitigated by COX-2 inhibition.

This study found that the transcription factors Msx2 and Foxn1 are crucial for maintaining Notch1 expression in the hair follicle matrix, which is necessary for proper hair differentiation.

This study found that over- and ectopic-expression of FoxN1 in early life negatively affected the development of thymic epithelial cells, T and B cells, and skin epithelial cells.

This study found that Runx1 in hair follicle stem cells modulates lipid metabolism, impacting membrane organization and enhancing signal transduction for cell proliferation in both normal and cancer epithelial cells.

This study found that PBX1 enhances the proliferation and reprogramming of hair follicle mesenchymal stem cells by activating the AKT/GSK3β signaling pathway, promoting NANOG expression, and inhibiting apoptosis.

This review provides an overview of the hairless gene in mice and humans, discussing its structure, expression, and implications for understanding skin physiology and human disorders related to gene disruption, but it reports no new empirical findings.

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.

This study identifies iRhom2 as a crucial regulator of hair follicle differentiation, showing that the iRhom2Uncv mutation leads to dysplasia and reduced TACE maturation, resulting in a hairless phenotype in mice.

This review discusses the roles of the hairless (HR) protein as a corepressor, particularly its impact on RORα-mediated transcriptional repression, and reports no new experimental findings.

This study found that PBX1 overexpression reduces hair follicle-derived mesenchymal stem cell senescence and apoptosis by alleviating ROS-mediated DNA damage, rather than enhancing DNA repair.

This study found that the hair interior defect in AKR/J mice is linked to a mutation in the Soat1 gene, which disrupts SOAT1 protein expression and affects lipid metabolism critical for normal hair formation.

This study found that Krox20 marks a diverse stem cell population in mouse hair follicles, which significantly contributes to the interfollicular epidermis and regulates epidermal homeostasis.

This study found that Hoxc13-/- rabbits exhibit complete hair loss on the head and dorsum, providing a potential model for understanding human ECTD-9 and related dermatological conditions.

This study found that during amelogenesis in Msx2 null mice, a dysfunctional enamel organ developed due to abnormal epithelial transformation and lacked proper enamel formation.

In this study, ozenoxacin was found to inhibit sebum production in insulin- and 5α-DHT-differentiated hamster sebocytes in a dose-dependent manner, suggesting potential benefits in acne management by combining antimicrobial activity against C. acnes with reduced sebum production.

This research suggests that hair keratins evolved from claw keratins in a hairless ancestor, with Hoxc13 controlling their expression in tetrapods, evidenced by the knockout of Hoxc13 hindering claw formation in Xenopus tropicalis frogs.

This study found that Hairless (HR) and putrescine form a negative regulatory network that impacts epidermal homeostasis and hair follicle cycling, linked to the MYC superfamily's regulation of ODC expression.

In this study, Msx-2 knockout mice showed enhanced re-epithelialization and faster wound closure compared to wild-type controls, suggesting Msx-2 may influence skin morphogenesis during wound repair.
