This study found that inserting the Tβ4 gene into cashmere goats increased cashmere yield by 74.5% without compromising quality, suggesting potential economic benefits for goat breeding.

This study found that the mK6alpha and mK6beta genes in mice are regulated differently at the mRNA level, with implications for understanding K6 gene evolution and function in mammals.

In this study of Danioninae species, researchers reported that the presence of breeding tubercles on the pectoral fins is conserved in certain species and linked to local androgen conversion, with steroid 5-α-reductase playing a crucial role in their development.

In this study, the researchers identified a third keratin 6 gene in mice and developed a double knockout model that could aid in hair growth research.

In this study, researchers identified a unique Arg30stop mutation in the vitamin D receptor gene that causes hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets in a young French-Canadian boy by truncating the receptor and causing hormone resistance.

This study indicates that ABCG2 expression identifies interfollicular keratinocyte progenitor cells in human epidermis and suggests it could help enrich these stem cells for research and treatment.

This study characterized the intron-exon organization of human keratin 15 and keratin 19 genes to aid future mutation detection analyses related to potential genetic disorders of keratinization.

This case study reports a rare instance of RC11 associated with precocious puberty, severe hyperandrogenism, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes, suggesting a possible link to 11q-syndrome.

This study found that CLK1 is necessary for epidermal differentiation but does not affect sebocyte differentiation in a telogen skin stem cell line.

This study concluded that the hairless protein interacts with the vitamin D receptor to repress transcription crucial for hair cycling, employing multiple protein interfaces and modulating chromatin structure.

This study observed that CDH3-related congenital hypotrichosis with juvenile macular dystrophy presents with childhood-onset progressive chorioretinal atrophy and universally thin and sparse scalp hair.

This case study identified Trichophyton rubrum as the cause of trichophytia profunda acuta in a patient using nested PCR, suggesting an alternative diagnostic approach when KOH tests and cultures fail.

This report describes an infant who was diagnosed with Rothmund-Thomson syndrome, a rare genetic disorder characterized by diverse skin changes, short stature, and other developmental anomalies.

This study suggests that the HCR risk allele within the PSORS1 locus may contribute to psoriasis susceptibility by altering gene expression related to skin structure and differentiation, although these changes alone might not result in clinical symptoms.

This study found that the HS III element in the K14 gene's regulatory sequence promotes gene expression in inner root sheath keratinocytes, highlighting cooperative interactions in keratinocyte-specific gene regulation.

This study used cryo-electron microscopy to reveal the structural mechanisms by which TRPV6 and TRPV3 ion channels open, close, and are regulated, providing insights for potential future research.

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 study found that keratin 19, unlike keratin 14, forms less stable filaments with keratin 5, suggesting distinct assembly properties and potential unique roles in skin basal cells.

This study found that TRPV3 ion channels on human epidermal keratinocytes suppress cell proliferation, induce cell death, and trigger a proinflammatory response, suggesting a role in cutaneous inflammatory processes.

This study identified a new gene involved in woolly hair by linking a homozygous variant in KRT25 to autosomal recessive woolly hair in two Pakistani families.

This study found that basal cell carcinomas show strong expression of vitamin D receptors at both mRNA and protein levels, suggesting a potential role in tumor growth regulation.

This case study suggests that early or significant alopecia in young adults may warrant investigation for underlying congenital conditions like trichorhinophalangeal syndrome.

This study reported an unusual case of nail matrix involvement and trachyonychia in a child with juvenile pityriasis rubra pilaris, showing significant improvement with topical therapy and oral biotin.

This study found that conditional deletion of CD271 in mouse epidermis led to significant disorganization and increased thickness, suggesting CD271's crucial role in regulating skin differentiation and structure.

In this study, researchers found that overexpression of CRABP2 enhanced the proliferation of dermal papilla cells in Hu sheep through activation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, even when the pathway was inhibited.

This study found that the hairless gene product (Hr) suppresses VDR-mediated gene activation by directly interacting with the vitamin D receptor, potentially affecting hair follicle function.

In this study, a novel VDR gene mutation was identified in a child with HVDRR, and the researchers observed that high-dose intravenous calcium therapy led to significant and sustained improvement in rickets symptoms.

This review discusses the role of corticotropin-releasing hormone in human skin, focusing on its regulation, receptors, and functions, and highlights parallels with the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis; it reports no new research findings.

In this study, basal cell carcinoma developed in Ptch-deficient mice only after chemical treatment, not skin wounding, suggesting a second unknown event is necessary for tumor formation.
