Two siblings had a rare immune disorder caused by a FOXN1 gene mutation.

Scientists found a gene in mice that causes early hearing loss.

Inactive stem cells in hair follicles and muscles can avoid detection by the immune system.

In vivo lineage labelling is better than in vitro methods for identifying and understanding stem cells.

Basonuclin 2 is vital for the development of facial bones, hair follicles, and male germ cells in adult mice, and its absence can lead to dwarfism and abnormal follicles.

The document concludes that understanding how the skin's immune system and inflammation work is complex and requires more research to improve treatments for skin diseases.

Both vitiligo and alopecia areata involve an immune response triggered by stress and specific genes, with treatments targeting this pathway showing potential.

Animal models have helped understand hair loss from alopecia areata and find new treatments.

The congress highlighted new gene therapy techniques and cell transplantation methods for treating diseases.

Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase (L-PGDS) is a protein that plays many roles in the body, including sleep regulation, pain management, food intake, and protection against harmful substances. It also affects fat metabolism, glucose intolerance, cell maturation, and is involved in various diseases like diabetes, cancer, and arthritis. It can influence sex organ development and embryonic cell differentiation, and its levels can be used as a diagnostic marker for certain conditions.

Certain proteins, caspases-1 and -11, are important in the early development of skin inflammation in mice.
