This study produced a high-coverage genome of the Tyrolean Iceman, revealing no Steppe-related ancestry but significant Anatolian-farmer-related ancestry, and found genetic markers associated with darker skin, male-pattern baldness, type 2 diabetes, and obesity, aligning with observations of his mummified body.

This study identified a gene variant in the TRPV3 gene that may explain the suri alpaca phenotype, characterized by longer and less crimped fleece, suggesting this variant's involvement in the development of these hair characteristics compared to the huacaya phenotype.

This study identified novel biomarkers through gene expression differences between keratinocytes and fibroblasts in newborn mice, which may aid in developing therapies for skin conditions.

This study found that dandruff-afflicted individuals had a less integrated microbial network on the scalp and hair surface compared to healthy individuals, with more positive interactions and unstable connections.

This study observed that a combination of micro-needling and low-level light/laser therapy significantly increased hair density in patients with mild to moderate androgenic alopecia, showing an increase of 12 hairs/cm² after 16 weeks, compared to baseline.

This study suggests that the CXCL8 gene may regulate cashmere fineness in Liaoning cashmere goats, providing new insights into the cellular mechanisms of cashmere growth and quality.

In this study conducted in female mice, maternal Faecalibacterium pathobionts combined with a low-fiber diet increased systemic inflammation and skin problems in offspring, suggesting a link to atopic dermatitis and the influence of dietary trends on chronic conditions.

This study identified several significant genetic variants associated with alopecia universalis, including a novel association with HLA-DRB5, which may play a hidden role in the disease.

This study reported that exosomes derived from human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells (hAMSC-exo) accelerated hair growth in androgenetic alopecia mice by enhancing signals between hair follicle cells and improving cellular environments, particularly protecting against dihydrotestosterone-induced damage via Wnt/β-catenin signaling.

In this study of Zhexi Angora rabbits, researchers found that the fine-wool group exhibited lower fiber diameters and a higher hair follicle density than the coarse-wool group, and they identified key candidate genes potentially regulating wool quality through RNA-seq and genome resequencing techniques.

In this study, researchers found that massively parallel sequencing of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) can improve information recovery from forensic samples, with successful full region amplification possible from as few as 2,000 mtDNA copies, albeit with variability in heteroplasmy among hair samples from the same donor.

In this study, supplementing low-protein diets with 0.75% methionine maintained growth performance, improved fur quality, enhanced nutrient utilization, and supported intestinal microbiota balance in blue foxes, with significant results on several biochemical parameters and nutrient digestibility observed.

This study found that human skin melanocytes with low mutation burdens are smaller, less dendritic, and exhibit stem-like features, often residing in UV-protected hair follicles, suggesting their role in replenishing sun-damaged epidermis.

In this study, whole-genome sequencing of Lanping black-boned sheep identified ERBB4 and ROR1 genes as potentially important in their distinctive hyperpigmentation, enhancing understanding of their genetic evolution from Lanping normal sheep.

This study found that cetaceans have adapted their fibroblast growth factors to assist in low bone density, hypoxia tolerance, and the development of rigid flippers, reflecting significant evolutionary changes for aquatic life.

This review outlines drug repurposing as an efficient, low-cost strategy to identify new uses for existing drugs, highlighting various computational and experimental approaches as well as publicly available databases to aid in personalized pharmacotherapy.

In this study, researchers used high-throughput sequencing to explore lncRNA interactions in cashmere goat hair follicles during embryonic development, finding lncRNAs potentially regulate genes in the Wnt and PI3K-Akt pathways related to hair follicle growth.

This study identified 47 genetic variants with a higher frequency in centenarians compared to young controls in the Bulgarian population, suggesting potential associations with longevity.

In this study, a clear pattern of selective sweep was observed for the SLC24A5 gene, with high linkage disequilibrium and low haplotype diversity, but no clear correlation with UV radiation intensity was found.

In this study of patients with androgenetic alopecia, botulinum toxin type A was found to significantly increase hair counts and improve hair density and coverage, with enhanced results observed when combined with oral finasteride, revealing a safe and effective treatment approach without adverse effects.

This article discusses facelift surgery, highlighting its refinement, outpatient use, low complication rates, and ease of mastery for advanced dermatologic surgeons, and reports no new clinical results.

This study examined 16 sporadic trichoblastic tumors and found that although one showed malignant transformation, clinical follow-up revealed no residual or metastatic disease. RNA sequencing indicated a high tumor mutational burden and absence of a UV-related signature, helping to distinguish these tumors from similar growths.

This study found that the elimination of the tampon tax in New Jersey was fully passed on to consumers, benefiting low-income consumers more than high-income consumers.

This study found that eyebrow follicles, as opposed to buccal swabs or nails, are the most reliable tissue for post-HSCT germline genetic testing due to lower donor DNA contamination.

In this study, researchers used mRNA sequencing to identify and categorize over 49,000 contigs in goat skin, revealing significant gene activity related to metabolism, cell cycle, and cell division during hair growth.

This study identified a wide range of differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs in the hair follicles of Hetian sheep, which may be useful for further research on improving carpet wool quality.

This review summarizes advancements in forensic DNA phenotyping for appearance, ancestry, and age prediction from crime scene samples, reporting no new research findings but highlighting areas needing further research and validation.

This study reported that the Undiagnosed Disease Program at Ghent University Hospital successfully provided definite diagnoses for 18% of referred adults with suspected rare diseases, primarily through genomic technologies.

This study reports the discovery of mutations in the PADI3, TGM3, and TCHH genes as molecular genetic causes of uncombable hair syndrome in children, indicating an autosomal-recessive inheritance pattern.

This review discusses the relationship between skin microbiome changes and conditions such as ageing and skin disease, emphasizing the need for further research, but reports no new findings.
