A specific gene mutation causes sparse, brittle hair in a family.

This review discusses the intracellular activity of β-thymosins and their role in modulating the actin cytoskeleton, but it reports no new experimental results.

This study indicates that CD4 protein may have a functional role in basal cell-like keratinocytes through TCR/CD3-independent signaling, affecting their proliferation, differentiation, and migration.

In this study, researchers identified the CBL1-CIPK26 Ca 2+ sensor-kinase complexes as key modulators of the NADPH oxidase RBOHC crucial for root hair differentiation in plants.

This study suggests that hemoglobin α expression in the epidermis is induced by oxidative stress and may function as an antioxidant, contributing to skin barrier function.

This study found that brindled mottled mice, a model of Kinky hair syndrome, exhibited abnormal development of catecholamine neurons, with increased TH-immunoreactive neurons and altered neurochemical profiles compared to controls.

This study found that mutations in exon 3 of the hr gene are strongly associated with congenital hypotrichosis in Valle del Belice sheep, suggesting a potential genetic link to the disorder.

In this study, thymosin beta4 was found to stimulate hair growth in normal rats and mice by affecting key processes in the hair follicle cycle, such as stem cell migration and extracellular matrix remodeling.

This study reported variable expression levels of TRα and CRABPII genes during the prenatal development of cashmere goats, contributing to an understanding of hair follicle formation in these animals.

This study found that trichoblastic fibroma and basal cell carcinoma cannot be differentiated by cytokeratin expression patterns, while trichoepithelioma lacks CK7 expression, distinguishing it from the other two neoplasms.

This study found that 5-bromo-3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde (BDB) promoted hair growth in rat vibrissa follicles by activating Wnt/β-catenin and autophagy pathways and inhibiting the TGF-β pathway in dermal papilla cells.

hHb1, hHb3, and hHb6 mRNAs start expressing at the same time in hair follicles.

This article reviews the role of Kremen proteins as regulators in the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, highlighting their significance in development and cancer, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that cupric chloride treatment may partially correct delayed maturation and abnormal arborization of Purkinje cells in the cerebellum of hemizygous brindled mice, a model for Kinky hair disease.

In this study, researchers identified two types of potassium channels, BK and Kv4.2, in rat Merkel cells and reported that these channels play important roles in repolarizing action potentials and maintaining resting membrane potentials, potentially influencing tactile encoding in these cells.

This study establishes a catalog of human type I hair keratins and identifies their specific roles and expression patterns during hair differentiation and growth in scalp follicles.

In a case report, this study identified a new genetic variant in a six-year-old girl from Saudi Arabia with hypotrichosis and juvenile macular dystrophy, expanding the understanding of the genetic spectrum of this rare condition in the region.

This study found that systemic treatment with DS77754007, a KLK5 inhibitor, improved skin symptoms in a mouse model of Netherton Syndrome more effectively than certain antibody treatments, suggesting KLK5 inhibition as a promising therapeutic approach for this condition.

This study found that the lack of expression and deletion of specific hair keratin genes on chromosome 7q36 in Hirosaki hairless rats suggests the crucial role of these genes in hair growth.

In this study, the researchers cloned and analyzed the CRABP I gene in Inner Mongolian cashmere goats, finding its highest mRNA expression at 90 days in embryo skin compared to later stages.

This study identified and characterized a murine type II hair keratin, demonstrating its presence in specific cells of hair and tongue tissues.

This piece marks the tenth anniversary of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery and highlights the addition of 14 new diplomates from diverse countries, while reporting no new clinical findings.

This research investigates apoptosis and bcl 2 expression in hair follicles cultured with and without biotin, but it reports no new results.

This research found that a monoclonal antibody (MAb 17) specifically reacts with certain subunits of trichocyte keratin in rats, and discovered that trichocyte keratin expression in hair and whiskers begins at different embryonic stages.

This study demonstrated that both HR isoforms are expressed in keratinocytes, but HRDelta1072-1126 lacks corepressor activity and may act as a coactivator by inhibiting HDAC recruitment to the VDR transcriptional complex.

This review discusses the role of the hairless protein (HR) in alopecia and cancer, noting its potential importance in cancer cell growth and survival, and reports no new experimental results.

This study observed that β-catenin overexpression in human squamous cell carcinoma cells led to increased CREB expression, which significantly enhanced clonogenic activity, suggesting CREB as a β-catenin-regulated factor promoting cancer characteristics.
