This study mapped monilethrix, a hereditary hair and nail disorder, to the type II keratin cluster on chromosome 12q, marking the first primary human hair disorder localization and implicating defects in "hard" keratins.

KAP genes are crucial for hair development and show both shared and unique traits in humans, chimpanzees, and baboons.

This study identified a novel mechanism by which dsRNA-induced TLR3 activation and retinoic acid pathways contribute to new hair follicle formation after deep wounds in mice and suggested a similar potential in humans.

In this study, miR-218-5p was found to enhance hair shaft growth and positively regulate the Wnt signaling pathway by targeting SFRP2 during skin and hair follicle development.

This study found that loss of Apc due to K14-cre-mediated gene recombination in mice led to aberrant growth in ectodermally derived squamous epithelia, implicating its critical role in specifying epithelial cell fates during embryonic development.

This study found that deleting Stim1 and Stim2 in mature T regulatory cells disrupts Ca 2+ signaling, preventing their differentiation and leading to severe autoimmune disorders in mice.

This study found that haploinsufficiency of SPINK5 can lead to Netherton syndrome when a single null mutation combines with homozygous G1258A polymorphisms, suggesting it acts as a genuine mutation affecting LEKTI function.

This study suggests that the Grasp protein may play a role in regulating skin homeostasis following UVB exposure by influencing p53-mediated apoptotic responses in mice.

In this study, ritlecitinib showed sustained effectiveness and a favorable safety profile in treating alopecia areata in patients aged 12 and older over 24 months, with improvements observed in hair and eyebrow regrowth and patient satisfaction.

This study found that NF-κB's p65/RelA subunit can directly activate hair keratin genes, suggesting a new role in hair formation that may inform the understanding of ectodermal dysplasias.

Keratinocyte cytokines and genetic variations influence the development of moles and skin pigmentation.

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.

In this study, ritlecitinib treatment for 12 and 24 weeks downregulated immunity-related genes and upregulated hair keratin genes in patients with alopecia areata, correlating with scalp hair regrowth response.

This study found that thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) acts as a potent stimulator of hair growth in human scalp hair follicles, promoting elongation and prolonging the anagen phase.

This article presents a case of a seventeen-year-old female with dermatopathia pigmentosa reticularis and emphasizes the importance of distinguishing its clinical features from other similar disorders, supported by dermoscopic and histopathological findings.

This study analyzed the KRTAP7 gene in four Indian camel breeds and found that the gene sequences were identical across breeds, with no observed SNPs in coding or non-coding regions.

This study found that the development of Merkel cell carcinoma from hair follicles in mice can be driven by in vivo reprogramming with ATOH1 and relies on p53 loss for progression.

This review summarizes the roles of WRKY transcription factors in plant growth and their responses to various environmental stresses, but reports no new experimental findings.

In this study, researchers demonstrated that the Id2 gene acts as a direct target and effector of BMP signaling, playing a key role in maintaining quiescence in hair follicle stem cells in vivo.

In this study, the researchers found that vitamin D and calcium signaling in keratinocytes are essential for normal skin regeneration after wounding, with deficiencies significantly delaying wound closure and re-epithelialization in mice.

Fibroblast bioelectric signaling can promote hair growth and may help treat hair loss.

This study observed that in chicken skin, large-scale differences in gene expression between feathered and scaly skin are controlled by enhancer-driven uniform expression, while small-scale differences within individual feathers are associated with chromatin looping.

In this clinical trial, patients with lichen planopilaris treated with the oral TYK2 inhibitor deucravacitinib showed significant improvement in PGA, LPPAI, and Skindex-16 scores over 24 weeks, with transcriptomic analyses indicating decreased inflammatory and immune pathway activity post-treatment.

This study found that trichocytic cytokeratins, typically found in hair, are also present in nails, filiform papillae of the tongue, and the epithelial reticulum of the thymus.

In this study, researchers explored various aspects of the TRPV3 ion channel, including its novel mechanosensitivity to shear stress, and identified novel agonists while investigating how repeated stimulation affects TRPV3 activity, but found no evidence of GPCRs sensitizing the channel.

This study found that the absence of the stress-responsive protein Sesn2 increased hair cell susceptibility to gentamicin in the inner ear, indicating Sesn2's potential protective role against aminoglycoside-induced damage.

This abstract provides a graphic illustrating that mice lacking the Sgk3 gene exhibit thin coats and abnormal hair, suggesting a role for Sgk3 kinase in hair follicle growth, but reports no new experimental findings.

In this study, YK11 was found to promote osteoblast cell proliferation and differentiation through activation of non-genomic signaling pathways in mouse osteoblast cells.

This research identified a genetic mutation in Brachypodium distachyon that initially allows root hair initiation but fails to elongate them, while also affecting root growth and nitrate sensitivity; the mutation is linked to a previously uncharacterized cyclin-dependent kinase-like gene.
