This study developed an efficient method for isolating and enriching multipotent ovine hair follicle stem cells, which may aid in research on the ovine hair cycle and future wool production.

This review discusses recent advances in molecular genetics and their impact on the accuracy and understanding of diagnosing inherited skin diseases but reports no new results.

This study suggests that decorin may help maintain hair follicle stem cells and its reduced expression could contribute to age-related hair loss.

This study identified a missense mutation in the keratin 71 gene as the cause of autosomal dominant woolly hair/hypotrichosis in a Japanese family, marking the first human mutation in KRT71 linked to a hair disorder.

This study reports a semidominant inheritance of epidermolytic ichthyosis due to a KRT1 mutation, which was previously thought to be only inherited dominantly.

This paper presents a protocol for differentiating human-induced pluripotent stem cells into keratinocyte progenitor cells and keratinocytes, suggesting potential applications for hair follicle restoration and burn or ulcer therapy.

This review explores epidermolysis bullosa simplex subtypes caused by mutations in KRT5 or KRT14 and summarizes gene expression patterns and molecular mechanisms, without presenting new experimental results.

This study demonstrated that keratin K124 is specific to equine hoof lamellar tissue and established monoclonal antibodies that can specifically recognize K124 without cross-reacting with other tissues.

This review discusses the complexity and genetic organization of human keratin gene clusters and addresses the ongoing need for an updated unified naming system; it reports no new clinical results.

This report describes a case of epidermolytic hyperkeratosis in a newborn and her mother, both possessing a specific KRT1 gene mutation known to cause this skin disorder.

This study mapped gene expression in different skin structures of dogs, finding similarities to humans that support using dogs as models for human skin diseases.

This study identified 53 keratins in the yak genome, predicting diverse phosphorylation sites and subcellular localizations, and highlighted strong gene expression correlations during the yak hair follicle development cycle.

This study of Liaoning cashmere goats identified nine keratin proteins as markers of the secondary hair follicle cycle, providing insights that may enhance cashmere quality and production.

This study validated the HS 3D-SeboSkin model as a reliable tool for preclinical research, effectively preserving the structure and biomarker expression of lesional and perilesional HS skin ex vivo.

This article reviews the clinical features of dermatopathia pigmentosa reticularis, highlighting its characteristic triad of symptoms, but provides no new research results.

This study developed a mouse model lacking keratin 16 to replicate palmoplantar lesions, which may help uncover the molecular mechanisms driving these lesions in pachyonychia congenita and focal non-epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma.

This study reports the first cases of recessive KRT17-related pachyonychia congenita involving all ectodermal derivatives in seven members of two consanguineous Pakistani families.

This study suggests that the CXCL8 gene may regulate cashmere fineness in Liaoning cashmere goats, providing new insights into the cellular mechanisms of cashmere growth and quality.

This study developed a method to culture and maintain chicken feather follicles in vitro, preserving structure and biology similar to their in vivo state, though some gene expression was altered.

This study found that a quinazoline derivative, SH-340, increased skin barrier-associated factors and inhibited TSLP expression and STAT6 phosphorylation in human primary keratinocytes, suggesting potential benefits for alleviating inflammation and improving skin barrier function in atopic dermatitis.

This study identified genes potentially involved in the development and differentiation of skin appendages in Atelerix albiventris, noting significant enrichment of immune-related genes in hair-type tissues.

This report presents a case where multiple steatocystomas appeared in a psoriatic patient during ustekinumab treatment, suggesting the drug may unmask a genetic predisposition to steatocystoma multiplex.

The authors concluded that steatocystoma multiplex is a rare dermatological condition with poor treatment outcomes, emphasizing the importance of early recognition and psychological support for affected individuals.

This study found that Prdm1 is crucial for whisker development in mice, affecting multiple signaling pathways and possibly playing a role in primates' evolutionary loss of vibrissae.

This study found that the finer fibers of Alpas cashmere, compared to ordinary cashmere, are associated with the down-regulation of specific keratins and keratin-associated proteins, suggesting a molecular target for breeding cashmere goats with improved fiber quality.

This study found that hair-type tissues in hedgehogs show higher enrichment of immune-related genes compared to spine-type tissues, suggesting that spines evolved to protect against injuries and infections.

In this case report, half-siblings with bullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma were found to have a susceptibility to Trichophyton rubrum infection, successfully treated with oral terbinafine.

This study investigated the genetic factors influencing cashmere quality differences between Jiangnan cashmere goats and Changthangi pashmina goats, identifying 4,942 differentially expressed genes and highlighting 24 key genes related to hair follicle development and cashmere fiber formation.

This study on Dorper sheep identified important genetic factors influencing hair follicle development, finding that expression patterns and genes like DBI, FZD3, and ZDHHC21 play a crucial role in wool shedding, which could help improve understanding of mammalian skin-related traits and human hair advancement.

In this study on Angora rabbits, researchers identified genetic factors influencing wool fiber diameter by analyzing hair follicle proteins, highlighting keratin family members and other proteins as key contributors to fiber differences between coarse and fine wool.
