This study suggests that the vitamin D receptor and hairless gene may directly regulate each other via a transcriptional mechanism, potentially explaining phenotypic similarities between atrichia and VDRRIIa rickets.

This study reported that black hairy tongue can occur after allogeneic stem cell transplantation and may indicate cutaneous graft-versus-host disease, highlighting the need for histopathologic evaluation.

This study found that Krtap11-1 may play an important role in keratin-bundle assembly in the hair cortex, influencing the physical properties of hair.

This study identified a novel human type I hair keratin, hHa3-II, as an isoform of a previously described hHa3 keratin, with distinct sequence differences indicating separate gene encoding.

This study found that the mammalian Hr protein can interact with the p53 pathway by binding to a specific p53 response element, influencing the regulation of genes involved in cell cycle control.

In this case report, a newborn with Conradi-Hünermann-Happle syndrome was diagnosed through early skin biopsy, which revealed unique histopathological features, including dystrophic calcifications, confirming a pathogenic variant in the EBP gene.

This case report identifies a novel nonsense mutation in the CDH3 gene associated with hypotrichosis and juvenile macular dystrophy.

In this study, eight patients with hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets who share a specific VDR mutation showed improved clinical symptoms except alopecia after up to 11 years of treatment.

This study reports a case of GGCX syndrome in a 55-year-old Japanese male, characterized by PXE-like symptoms and coagulation deficiency, with an unreported phenotype of possible spinocerebellar degeneration.

This study identified a radio-resistant population of Krt15+ stem cells in the mouse small intestine that can initiate tumors, suggesting potential targets for colon cancer therapy.

This review discusses the potential roles of prostaglandin D2 and its receptor CRTH2 in various diseases beyond allergies and asthma and reports no new clinical results.

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 found that while most mice lacking MK6a and MK6b genes died from tongue epithelium disintegration, about 25% survived and showed no hair or nail defects due to a newly discovered MK6hf gene.

This study discovered nine human type I hair keratin genes, including a transcribed pseudogene, in a 190 kbp genomic region, revealing three gene subclusters based on sequence homologies.

This study found that the novel bacteriophage Halo KS-7 shows strong antibacterial activity against carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and significantly promotes wound healing in mice, making it a promising biocontrol agent for managing multidrug-resistant infections.

This study found that recombinant human hair keratin proteins K31 and K81 show greater potential for inducing skin cell differentiation compared to natural keratin coatings.

This study observed Malassezia hyphae in the keratotic plugs of healthy individuals, which contrasts with previous findings of these hyphae primarily in lesions of pityriasis versicolor patients.

This article summarizes a meeting of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery's Board of Directors to discuss future plans, but does not report new experimental results.

This study introduces Kalya Research, an AI-driven tool designed to identify and categorize literature on complementary and alternative medicines, showing its effectiveness compared to Medline in finding relevant alopecia research within the context of breast cancer patients.

This study identified ABCB6 as the first gene linked to dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria (DUH) in a large Chinese family, suggesting it plays a role in skin pigmentation.

In this report, two adult patients with Tatton-Brown-Rahman syndrome exhibited new cardiac features, such as atrial fibrillation and ventricular and atrial dilatation, highlighting the importance of cardiovascular follow-up in adults with this condition.

This case report presents a rare subtype of hypomyelinating leukodystrophy linked to a PYCR2 gene mutation, emphasizing exome sequencing's value in diagnosing undiagnosed childhood HLDs with atypical symptoms.

This study details the isolation and characterization of the human type II 5 alpha-reductase gene, which may play a role in male pseudohermaphroditism, prostate cancer, and benign prostatic hyperplasia.

This study found that type II keratins in proliferating epithelial tissues are phosphorylated at a conserved motif during mitosis and stress, impacting keratin solubilization and reorganization.

This study identified a 69 bp deletion in the KRT75 gene as the cause of the frizzle feather trait in chickens, affecting feather curling.

This study found that overexpressing the gene Thymosin β4 (Tβ4) can promote the growth and development of secondary hair follicle dermal papilla cells in cashmere goats, suggesting its potential as a target for increasing cashmere production.

In this study, a novel homozygous mutation in the STAT5B gene was identified in a 17-year-old boy with growth hormone-refractory growth failure, severe eczema, and autoimmune disease, suggesting a similarity to known STAT5B deficiency phenotypes.
