This study found that the ACE gene I/D polymorphism may serve as a genetic susceptibility indicator for androgenetic alopecia in an Egyptian patient group.

Stress can cause hair to turn gray by depleting stem cells.

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.

This review outlines the advancements in organ and tissue transplantation since the discovery of the human MHC and reports no new clinical results.

This review examines genetic variation in the ovine KRTAP1.1 gene and its potential impact on wool quality, reporting no new findings but suggesting opportunities for developing gene markers for wool and pelt traits.

This study reported that the IL1A 4-bp indel polymorphism is associated with a reduced risk of alopecia areata in Chinese populations, possibly through miR-122 mediated regulation of IL-1α expression.

This study identified a mutation hotspot in the caracul (Ca) locus of mice, implicating the mK6irs1/Krt2-6g gene in hair formation and potentially human hair and skin diseases.

This study identifies a strong association between a 505-bp indel mutation in the FGF5 gene and cashmere growth in goats, suggesting potential use as a genetic marker in breeding programs.

This study identified a novel insertion mutation in the hairless gene that may contribute to the development of congenital atrichia with papular lesions in a Pakistani family.

This case report highlights the growing prevalence and treatability of neurosyphilis, stressing the need to consider it in neurological symptoms such as encephalopathy, facial nerve palsy, and gelastic seizures associated with the frontal lobe.

This study found that TGFbeta is a key pathway causing age-related loss of dermal fat's antimicrobial function, suggesting that targeting TGFBR might help restore skin defense against infections in older age.

This study found that a 22-bp InDel polymorphism in the FGF7 gene was significantly associated with growth traits in goats, with genotypes ID and/or II linked to better growth compared to genotype DD, indicating its potential as a molecular marker in breeding programs.

This study confirms the presence of large structural variations in the genome of Nellore cattle, which may contribute to their environmental adaptation to tropical regions.

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.

This case report describes a 10-month-old boy with VACTERL association and athymia who developed Omenn syndrome, highlighting the complex overlap of these conditions and the challenging clinical course due to profound T-cell immunodeficiency.

Older adults often have skin problems due to aging, and treating these conditions requires attention to both physical and mental health.

Follicular unit hair transplantation is better than Miniflap Hair Restoration due to less scarring and more natural results.

This source provides an overview of the dietary recommendations for macronutrient intake and the benefits of plant-based diets, including meeting essential amino acid needs through combining plant proteins and the advantages of consuming complex carbohydrates and adequate fiber for health.

This study demonstrated that mitochondrial function in keratinocytes is crucial for maintaining skin homeostasis and hair follicle development, as its impairment led to disrupted hair morphogenesis and early death in mice.

This article reviews the clinical manifestations and contributing factors of acute zinc depletion syndrome, reporting no new results but discussing prevention and treatment strategies.

This study found that a genetic deletion causing truncated desmoglein 3 protein in mice led to severe pathologies, including cyclic hair loss and immunodeficiency, suggesting possible implications for human desmosome-related diseases.

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.

In this study, a novel DCAF17 gene mutation was identified in a Chinese family, suggesting a potential role in pancreatic β cell dysfunction and diabetes development in Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome.

This study identified a large deletion in the desmoglein 4 gene as the genetic basis of the Iffa Credo "hairless" rat's skin phenotype, linking it to lanceolate hair mutations.

This review discusses the historical and modern use of silver for reducing infections and aiding healing in burns, wounds, and medical devices, noting its benefits and limitations in various applications.

In a clinical phase I/IIa study, subcutaneous injections of the peptide FOL-005 increased hair growth by 8% and were safe for treating alopecia.

This study found that, despite a major depletion of SOX2-expressing stem cells in the pituitary, there was no effect on endocrine cell homeostasis or response to certain stressors in adult mice.

This study observed that hairless HRS/J mice were resistant to Bacillus anthracis infection at the skin's surface, suggesting resistance may be due to increased dermal neutrophils rather than non-functional hair follicles.

This study found that minoxidil prevents long-term serotonergic toxicity induced by MDMA in rats, primarily by opening mitochondrial KATP channels and involving Akt and MAP kinases in its neuroprotective mechanism.

This study suggests that targeting the increased expression of SIX1 in systemic sclerosis may be a viable strategy for addressing dermal fibrosis.
