This case report describes a 7-year-old female from the Middle East with monilethrix, highlighting the disease's rarity in this population, characterized by brittle, sparse hair and keratosis pilaris.

This study found that trichohyalin is expressed in various normal and pathological epithelia beyond hair follicle cells, where it is uniquely associated with filaggrin, suggesting a specific role in aggregating K6/K16-containing intermediate filaments.

This study reported that Indian hedgehog (Ihh) signaling plays a crucial role in regulating tumor progression and metastasis in epithelial cancers, with Ihh deficiency leading to increased malignancy and metastasis in mice.

This study identified a novel CDH3 mutation associated with sparse hair and pigmentary macular changes in two siblings with hypotrichosis but no visual symptoms.

This study suggests that biallelic loss of the Hedgehog signaling repressor Patched alone in Keratin 5+ epidermal cells is insufficient to drive basal cell carcinoma development unless exogenous stimuli trigger accumulation of BCC precursor cells.

This study found that the protein hairless acts as both a corepressor and coactivator of the vitamin D receptor, influencing gene transcription in a ligand-selective manner.

TSH influences keratin expression in human hair follicles.

This study found that the immune-competent B6. Cg‐Tyr c−2J Hr hr /J congenic mouse line had a more pronounced delayed sunburn response and different proliferative skin reactions to UV exposure compared to SKH 1 mice.

This study found that keratin 17 and TNFα play interdependent roles in regulating hair follicle cycling, with TNFα required for the anagen–catagen transition and its ablation partially rescuing hair cycling defects in K17-null mice.

This study identified a genetic locus associated with rhabdomyosarcoma susceptibility in mice and found that specific differentiation markers are linked to the regression of basal cell carcinoma.

This research suggests that the barley protein RACB supports cell polarity functions rather than interfering with immunity, as it aids nucleus positioning during fungal attack rather than affecting early immune responses.

In this study, researchers found that CD4 is expressed on murine K5⁺ keratinocytes, and its expression is crucial for maintaining epidermal stem cell balance and wound repair capacity, particularly during aging.

This abstract provides information about the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery as the only internationally accepted certifying body for hair restoration surgeons, but it reports no new research results.

This article discusses the first international certification examination by the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery, with no new research findings reported.

This review discusses the clinical manifestations and immune response to Rhodococcus equi infection in foals but reports no new clinical results.

This study observed that maize plants, including a root hairless mutant variety, did not exhibit typical root growth or compensatory foraging behavior under severe boron deficiency in soil, indicating atypical responses compared to other plants.

This study identified two single-nucleotide polymorphisms and three haplotypes in the KRTAP7-1 gene across yak, taurine, and zebu cattle, with the BOVIN-KRTAP7-1*A haplotype most prevalent.

Basal cell carcinoma shows keratin patterns similar to undifferentiated hair follicle cells.

In this clinical case report, a man with Birt Hogg Dube syndrome presented with parathyroid cancer, the first such case according to the authors, highlighting a potential link between Folliculin gene mutations and parathyroid cancer development.

This study identified numerous size polymorphisms in the human ultrahigh sulfur KAP4 genes due to intragenic sequence variations, suggesting these polymorphisms may have arisen through deletions and duplications during evolution.

Fibroblasts from healthy donors can prevent changes seen in recessive epidermolysis bullosa simplex.

This study found that the tetracycline-regulated transcription system effectively controls conditional gene expression in the mouse epidermis, allowing suppression and activation of specific genes with doxycycline.

In a mouse model of peripheral vascular disease, this study found that recombinant thymosin β4 treatment increased expression levels of certain proteins, promoting angiogenesis.

This study found that high levels of parathyroid hormone-related protein expression can result in the production of shorter hair shafts, likely through effects on angiogenesis.

In this study, researchers found that the KLHL24-ΔN28 protein variant disrupts hair follicle stem cells in a mouse model, leading to premature hair loss by degrading keratin 15.

This study found that PBX1 enhances the proliferation and reprogramming of hair follicle mesenchymal stem cells by activating the AKT/GSK3β signaling pathway, promoting NANOG expression, and inhibiting apoptosis.

This study found that aged tritiated thymidine breaks down and incorporates into cytoplasmic macromolecules, not DNA, suggesting caution in its use.

This research observed that mutations in the PTCH gene are common in both sporadic and hereditary basal cell cancers, suggesting a critical role of the PTCH signaling pathway in skin tumor development.

This study suggests that a position effect disrupting TRPS1 expression may be linked to hypertrichosis in both Ambras syndrome in humans and a similar phenotype in Koa mice.
