This study established a Krt24-CreERT2 mouse line targeting outer bulge hair follicle stem cells, finding these cells crucial for hair follicle development and repair, particularly following ionizing radiation exposure.

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.

In this study, researchers identified two distinct homozygous mutations in the KRT85 gene among consanguineous Pakistani families with pure hair and nail ectodermal dysplasia, highlighting variations in severity and potential impacts on the K85 protein function.

A mutation in the KRT25 gene causes a rare hair disorder with thin, woolly hair.

In this study, the ablation of Tet2/Tet3 genes in mouse skin epithelial cells led to altered hair shape and length, highlighting their role in regulating hair follicle gene expression and chromatin structure.

This study demonstrated that Tet2 and Tet3 enzymes are crucial for controlling gene expression related to hair differentiation in mice, suggesting DNA demethylation could be a new method for managing hair growth.

In this study, researchers found that overexpression of the hairless protein in Hr mutant mice disrupts inner root sheath formation by downregulating Dlx3 and associated keratins in hair follicle development.

This study found that mutations in certain keratin genes significantly affect wool traits in Chinese Merino sheep, suggesting these genes could be important for sheep breeding to improve wool quality.

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.

In this study, researchers identified nine new sheep keratin genes, highlighting species-specific differences in the expression and compartmentalization of wool-related keratin genes compared to humans.

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.

In this study, researchers created a comprehensive transcriptome map of human hair follicle compartments, identifying compartment-specific genes and providing a resource for potential therapeutic interventions.

This study found that ablation of Tet2/Tet3 genes in skin epithelial cells altered hair shape and length, leading to hair loss, by affecting chromatin accessibility and gene expression related to hair follicle regulation.

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.

In this study, researchers explored hair follicle development in Qianhua Mutton Merino sheep, identifying key genes like KRT27 and IGF-2 that impact this process, with findings suggesting significant molecular changes as sheep mature from newborn to one year old.

This study demonstrated that RNA interference targeting mutant keratin genes can effectively correct hair shaft structural defects in a mouse model by reducing mutant gene expression.

Gene expression in wool follicles changes with growth cycles, offering insights into wool and human hair growth.

In this study, researchers developed a method to differentiate human iPSCs into cells that can generate all lineages of hair follicles, potentially aiding treatments for hair loss and skin disorders.

In this study, the researchers identified key genes with differential m6A methylation involved in cashmere fiber growth, suggesting these modifications may play a significant role in this process.

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 found that mutations in type I IRS keratin genes disrupt keratin protein complexes in mice, suggesting crucial roles for these genes in proper hair coat formation.

In this study, significant differences in the expression of type I IRS keratin genes were observed in the groins of three sheep breeds during wool growth, related to hair follicle density.

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.

This study identified key genes and pathways related to wool follicle development in coarse wool lambs, suggesting epigenetic factors may influence wool sheep domestication and breeding.

This study suggests that topical minoxidil may be a promising treatment for isolated autosomal recessive woolly hair due to LIPH mutations, although effective treatments are not yet established.
