This study found that mutations in the FGF5 gene are the primary genetic factor causing long hair in domestic cats through an autosomal recessive mechanism.

In this study, researchers identified four novel variants in the FGF5 gene associated with the long-haired phenotype in dogs, suggesting additional unexplored genetic factors contribute to this trait beyond the known Lh1-Lh5 alleles.

This study conducted a genome-wide analysis in Tianzhu white yaks, identifying differential genes associated with hair growth between long-haired and normal-haired individuals.

This study identified genetic loci and pathways associated with long hair growth in the Tianzhu white yak, providing new insights into the genetic mechanisms of this trait.

This study found that Fgf5 mutant mice exhibited longer hair, particularly in males, likely due to a prolonged anagen phase in the hair cycle.

This study examined the genetic basis for the curly hair trait in Mangalitza pigs, finding two specific genetic variants that contribute to this distinctive phenotype through autosomal dominant inheritance.

This study found that Swiss cattle exhibiting rat-tail syndrome are heterozygous for genetic variants linked to pigmentation and color dilution, likely due to Holstein introgression in the Simmental breed.

This review discusses the role of tissue mechanics and extracellular matrix in skin aging processes and highlights potential therapeutic strategies, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, selenium-rich diets enhanced antioxidant activity in aged mice, suggesting potential biological benefits, although further trials are needed to fully understand long-term risks and benefits.

This study identified the FGF5:c.578C>T variant as linked to long hair in Akitas in Japan and suggests that genetic testing could help improve their breeding practices and welfare.

This study suggests that the curly hair phenotype in Mangalitza pigs may involve complex gene interactions related to calcium signaling and lipid metabolism, rather than changes in TRPM2 or CYP4F3 expression.

This study analyzed the transcriptome of the Tianzhu white yak, identifying differential transcripts that shed light on the molecular mechanisms influencing hair length growth variation in this species.

This study found an association between a splice site variant in the KRT71 gene and curly hair in Selkirk Rex cats, identifying a significant locus on chromosome B4.

This study found that Hoxc13 mutations in mice cause defects in hair, nail, and tongue structures, with the most noticeable issue being brittle hair leading to alopecia.

This review discusses studies on hair growth and protein synthesis in hair follicles, highlighting the differing responses of mohair and cashmere goat follicles to signaling molecules, biotin, and amino acids, but contains no new results.

This review explores the role of Foxn1 in mammalian skin biology, discussing its influence on hair follicle function and the potential for further research to enhance understanding of epithelial differentiation.

This study identified a large deletion in the desmoglein 4 gene as the genetic basis of the Iffa Credo "hairless" rat's skin phenotype, linking it to lanceolate hair mutations.

This article reviews loose anagen hair syndrome, an inheritable hair disorder affecting children and sometimes adults, but does not report any new clinical results.

This research suggests that mouse mutants and genomics can help study hair biology and epithelial differentiation by focusing on the role of the Foxn1 gene.

This study found that the hairless gene in mice has a more extensive role in development than previously thought, as indicated by its expression in various tissues and associated abnormalities in hr/hr mutants.

This study demonstrates that exfoliative cutaneous lupus erythematosus in German short-haired pointers involves a cellular and humoral immune response against the epidermal basement membrane, with poor response to immunosuppressive therapy.

In this study, a square pulse, low-fluence IPL device used at home significantly reduced terminal hair count by 87% six months post-treatment, with evidence of hair miniaturization similar to professional laser treatments.

This study explored how long non-coding RNA mediates the effects of FGF5 on the hair follicle development and villus growth of Liaoning cashmere goats.

This study identified a genetic locus associated with coat type in domestic dogs, showing certain variants linked to single-coated breeds and suggesting potential regulatory roles.

This study observed that Japanese women experience diffuse central hair loss after age 40, characterized by reduced hair density and thicker hair ratio rather than vellus-like hairs.

DNA can predict physical traits like eye and hair color accurately, especially in Europeans, but predicting other traits and in diverse populations needs more research.

This study identified the location of the genetic locus for the slick hair coat trait in cattle on bovine chromosome 20, which may contribute to heat tolerance.

This study found that a specific genetic mutation in the Fgf5 gene may contribute to the long-hair trait in Angora rabbits by reducing the binding capacity of the FGF5 protein.

This meta-analysis found a consistent positive association between glucocorticoids in hair and obesity measures, with the relationship between hair cortisone and waist circumference being particularly clinically relevant.

This study reported that topical ω‐0‐acylceramide improved skin barrier function in Jack Russell Terriers with TGM1-deficient autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis, normalizing skin pH and reducing transepidermal water loss.
