LIPH mutations cause woolly hair in some Chinese people.

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.

Proteomic analysis can identify genetic differences in mouse hair, helping understand hair defects and variations.

This study found that in Lichen Planopilaris, the Microbacteriaceae family was negatively correlated with IL-23 expression, suggesting a role in the disease's inflammation and microbiota composition.

In this review, platelet concentrates were found to show comparable efficacy to steroids and immunosuppressive drugs in treating oral lichen planus, with some studies reporting more benefits and others noting more severe adverse reactions with platelet treatments.

In this case report, a 53-year-old woman with Little-Graham-Piccardi-Lassueur-Syndrome responded well to a treatment regimen of hydroxychloroquine, methotrexate, and other therapies, effectively halting the progression of this rare dermatosis characterized by alopecia and hyperkeratotic eruptions.

This narrative review discusses lichen planus pigmentosus, including its variations, associated triggers, and management strategies, but reports no new clinical results.

This study highlights lichen planopilaris as a form of scarring hair loss with symptoms like shedding and itching, and notes successful treatment options such as topical and oral antiinflammatory medications to preserve hair follicles by early intervention.

Mice hair follicles take in the amino acid cystine.

This study demonstrated that Reverse Protein Engineering can decrease the size of Firefly Luciferase from 550 to less than 80 amino acids, but further research is needed to ensure these smaller peptides retain bioluminescent activity.

This study suggests that analyzing the composition and modifications of hair proteins may provide new biomarkers for assessing hair health, diseases, and aging.

This study highlights that early detection and tailored treatment based on kidney biopsy classification are crucial in managing lupus nephritis to prevent progression to end-stage kidney disease, with a focus on saving nephron cells.

This study identified ISPP-Rb, a novel immuno-stimulatory complex from Royoporus badius, that significantly activates murine macrophage cells and induces multiple proinflammatory cytokines.

A 70-year-old woman with a rare skin condition improved after treatment with topical steroids and acitretin.

This study found that supplementing Angora goats with whole field bean seeds postpartum did not prevent weight and body condition losses but was associated with improved mohair growth and kid weight gain, likely due to better nutrient partitioning towards lactation and hair growth.

This study identified compound heterozygous mutations, c.1101del and c.736 T > A, in the LIPH gene responsible for causing autosomal recessive woolly hair in a child, with c.1101del being a novel frameshift mutation.

This review discusses newly identified non-Edg family lysophosphatidic acid receptors, detailing their roles in vascular development, platelet activation, and hair growth, and reports no clinical results.

This study identified the rough coat mutation in mice, but found that LOXL is not the causal gene, although its downregulation might contribute to related phenotypic changes.

This study reports that PADI4, an enzyme involved in posttranslational protein modifications, regulates progenitor cell transitions in hair follicle development by repressing transcription and interacting with translational and ribosomal processes.

The study suggests that immune privilege collapse in bulge cells and the involvement of pro-inflammatory cytokine interferon-γ contribute to hair follicle stem cell loss in lichen planopilaris.

This study found that WISP-1 plays a key role in ligamentum flavum fibrosis through the Hedgehog-Gli1 pathway, with cyclopamine showing potential to reduce fibrosis effects in a rabbit model.

In this study, prolonged ingestion of linseed in rabbits was observed to be safe, showing no significant weight gain or anatomical anomalies in liver and kidney biopsies.

This study reports that Lichen planus pigmentosus is present in Moroccan patients but remains challenging to treat, with only some experiencing complete resolution of lesions after therapy.

This study identified eight alleles of the caprine KAP13-3 gene in cashmere goats, which could influence gene expression and cashmere fiber characteristics.

This study found that knocking down lncRNA MTC in Liaoning Cashmere goat skin fibroblasts inhibited cell proliferation and increased apoptosis, suggesting its role in facilitating cell growth by regulating specific proteins.

This study found that lncRNA-599554 contributes to the inductive ability of dermal papilla cells in cashmere goats by sponging miR-15a-5p, promoting Wnt3a expression, and potentially influencing hair follicle regeneration.

This report identified a family of Iranian siblings with diverse clinical forms of Lichen Planus, suggesting potential genetic and environmental involvement in its pathogenesis.

This study found that supplementing with 1.5% α-ketoglutaric acid significantly improved the performance, hair follicle density, and antioxidant capacity in Rex rabbits, potentially by enhancing the Wnt signaling pathway and reducing amino acid catabolism.

This study found that all examined biomarkers and clinical features were elevated in systemic lupus erythematosus patients, particularly ANA and Anti-dsDNA autoantibodies, but no single biomarker was sensitive or specific enough for diagnosis.

This study examined proteomic changes in Inner Mongolia cashmere goat skin, finding 631 proteins differentially regulated during hair growth stages; key keratin proteins, crucial for hair follicle development, were localized in secondary hair follicles.
