This study observed that hairless HRS/J mice were resistant to Bacillus anthracis infection at the skin's surface, suggesting resistance may be due to increased dermal neutrophils rather than non-functional hair follicles.

This review provides an overview of the hairless gene in mice and humans, discussing its structure, expression, and implications for understanding skin physiology and human disorders related to gene disruption, but it reports no new empirical findings.

This study identified a novel insertion mutation in the hairless gene that may contribute to the development of congenital atrichia with papular lesions in a Pakistani family.

TR3 is mainly found in hair follicle stem cells and may be involved in hair loss.

This study in hairless rats suggests that the deletion of specific hair keratin genes contributes to hypotrichosis and highlights the strain's potential as a model for hair follicle research.

This article reviews the case of a patient diagnosed with basal cell nevus syndrome and reports no new research findings.

This report discusses a potentially underdiagnosed form of multisystem Langerhans cell histiocytosis in infants, demonstrating the use of thymic sonography for staging, highlighting a case where thymic and cutaneous involvement was confirmed, and suggesting thymic ultrasound may aid in better diagnosis and management of LCH.

This article reports on the 5th meeting of the AAHRS and Live Surgery Workshop, held in a scenic location but does not provide new research findings.

This study found that in a mouse model of Focal Dermal Hypoplasia, treatment with lithium carbonate improved skin disease symptoms compared to controls, though disease severity varied and posed interpretation challenges.

In this study, ectoderm-targeted transgenic mice with glucocorticoid receptor overexpression exhibited multiple epithelial defects, suggesting the role of NF-kappaB and p63 dysfunction in ectodermal dysplasia syndromes.

In this case study, the researchers reported that treating a woman with type B insulin resistance using rituximab, dexamethasone, and cyclophosphamide greatly reduced her insulin needs, but her hyperandrogenic state persisted, suggesting ovarian hyperthecosis.

In this case study, a 26-year-old woman with hypothyroidism experienced significant improvements in energy, emotional balance, and physical discomfort after individualized homeopathic treatment with Kalium carbonium, demonstrating the potential benefits of a holistic approach to care.

This study provided new insights into the complex and heterogeneous architecture of keratin filaments, revealing their dynamic and flexible structure through cryo-electron microscopy analysis.

This study reported that 5 alpha-reductase type 2 is the predominant enzyme in pubic skin fibroblasts across normal men, women, and hirsute patients, suggesting potential treatment options for idiopathic hirsutism.

This study found that the transcription factor HB24 plays a critical role in root hair elongation in Arabidopsis thaliana by promoting the conversion of indole-3-butyric acid to indole-3-acetic acid through regulation of IBR1 expression.

This study suggests that structural changes in the TRPV3 channel are linked to severe skin conditions like Olmsted syndrome, with differences observed between heat-activated and resting states.

This study found that among the two highly homologous K16 genes on chromosome 17, only one produced a functional protein due to stronger promoter activity.

This study found that the unique functions of keratin 16 are likely determined by its tail domain, challenging the previous hypothesis about the role of the helix 1B subdomain.

This case study describes the clinical presentation and diagnostic findings of an 80-year-old woman with Cronkhite-Canada syndrome.

This study identified the transcription factor Elf5 as a novel regulator of keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation in skin, with expression elevated in stem/progenitor cell populations, suggesting its potential role in determining cell fate during skin and hair development.

This study suggests that human trichohyalin may function as a flexible rod linking keratin intermediate filaments and as a scaffold protein in hair follicle and epidermis cell envelopes.

This case study reports a rare combination of primary hyperparathyroidism with Klinefelter syndrome in a 44-year-old male, highlighting an unusual KS mosaicism with a mild phenotype.

This study identified a new 65 kD and 48 kD keratin pair expressed in specific mouse epithelial sites, suggesting a unique evolutionary branch of hair-related keratins.

This study found that DermaCult™ Keratinocyte Expansion Medium allows for significantly extended growth of human epidermal keratinocytes while maintaining their differentiation potential.

This study found that Hoxc13-/- rabbits exhibit complete hair loss on the head and dorsum, providing a potential model for understanding human ECTD-9 and related dermatological conditions.

In this case study, a girl with hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets had a novel mutation in the VDR gene that affected hair cycling without causing total alopecia, suggesting ligand-independent VDR function in hair cycling.

This study cataloged human type II hair keratins, detailing their expression and differentiation roles in hair follicles and comparing them with type I keratins to explore keratin-pairing principles.

In this study, the researchers successfully cloned and sequenced the hairless gene cDNA of Kunming mice, revealing high conservation and functional significance among various mammalian species.
