In this study, maslinic acid applied topically was observed to stimulate hair growth in mice comparably to minoxidil, primarily activating pathways like Wnt/β-catenin, and suggesting a link between hair growth and cilia activity.

This chapter reviews the recent understanding of carbonic anhydrase VI's functions, including its role in biological processes, but presents no new experimental results.

In this study, α-MSH and cyclic AMP were found to stimulate melanogenesis in hair follicle cultures, while cyclic GMP and melatonin inhibited melanin production but not tyrosinase activity.

This study identified a novel E413K mutation in the hHb6 gene in a Chinese Han family with monilethrix, potentially linked to the characteristic moniliform hair structure.

This study found that differences in skin transcriptomes between juvenile and adult mink, as well as between black and white mink, suggest genes regulating hair color are active during early development rather than adulthood.

This preliminary study found that Melandrium firmum extract may promote hair growth and inhibit 5α-reductase, suggesting potential as a candidate for treating androgenetic alopecia.

This study found that medullary cell content in mammal hair evolves from an amorphous form to a biphasic phase, with human and anthropoid hair containing both macrofibrils and microfibrils.

This study produced and characterized four new monoclonal antibodies that specifically recognize differentiation antigens in human hair follicle and epidermal structures.

This study found that mutations in type I IRS keratin genes disrupt keratin protein complexes in mice, suggesting crucial roles for these genes in proper hair coat formation.

This article describes the synthesis of novel polyamine-modified minoxidil analogs and conjugates to potentially enhance minoxidil's biological activity, selectivity, and water solubility, but reports no new biological results.

This study found that basement membrane components and structures in mouse hair follicles are highly specialized for specific inter-tissue interactions, with laminin α5 playing a crucial role in hair cycle regulation and anchoring.

This study describes a co-dominant E410D mutation in keratin hHb6 associated with severe hair loss and extensive papules in homozygous individuals, with variable expression in heterozygous family members.

This study mapped the curly mutation in mice to a specific region on chromosome 11, identifying it as a candidate model for studying human genetic hair disorders.

This study identified a new type II cytokeratin, named K6hf, exclusively expressed in the companion layer of the human hair follicle, distinguishing it from other keratins and suggesting a unique biochemical role.

This study found that the S100A3 gene is exclusively expressed in hair follicle cells differentiating into hair shaft components in mice, suggesting its important role in hair formation.

This study identified two novel genes, pmg-1 and pmg-2, expressed in various skin and gland tissues and potentially involved in the differentiation of epithelial cells in epidermal appendages.

This study found that OM-X® supplementation effectively prevented adverse biological changes caused by vitamin C deficiency in SMP30/GNL KO mice, improving energy maintenance, antioxidant capacity, and protein synthesis.

This study observed that among patients with Myhre syndrome, those with the SMAD4 gene variant p.Arg496Cys experienced fewer symptoms like hearing loss, while those with the p.Ile500Thr variant often had severe aortic hypoplasia, highlighting the diverse symptom progression and genetic factors of this rare condition.

This study reports on the biochemical characteristics of S100A3 protein in human hair cuticle, notably finding its N-terminal methionine is acetylated and has a slightly lower isoelectric point compared to the recombinant version.

This case report describes a 4-month-old child with symptoms suggesting multiple carboxylase deficiency, which responded well to biotin therapy, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis and treatment to prevent serious health issues in infants with similar unexplained metabolic acidosis and symptoms.

This study examined how melatonin affects cashmere growth in goats, identifying potential molecular targets like ATP6V0A4, DLX3, and SMOC2 for enhancing cashmere yield and quality.

In this study, a specific genetic variant of KRTAP6-2 in Longdong cashmere goats was associated with finer cashmere fiber diameter, suggesting its potential as a molecular marker for breeding improvements.

This study identified that mouse MILL1 and MILL2 are glycoproteins distinct from human MICA/B, primarily due to their association with β2-microglobulin and TAP-independent surface expression.

In this study, researchers identified a recurrent nonsense mutation, c.409C>T (p.Arg137*), in the COL7A1 gene through whole exome sequencing in a family with autosomal recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, demonstrating the importance of this method for diagnosing genetically complex conditions.

This study used a novel fluorescent tagging method in mice to observe collagen IV dynamics during hair follicle development, revealing that alterations in basement membrane turnover can influence epithelial progenitor cell behavior and organ morphology by affecting cell proliferation and movement.

This study identified specific miRNAs and mRNAs involved in the development of secondary hair follicles in cashmere goats, particularly noting a targeted relationship between chi-miR-30e-5p and DLL4.

Matriptase is crucial for skin barrier, hair growth, and may contribute to skin cancer.

This study found that M30 may protect against cyclophosphamide-induced alopecia in mice by enhancing hair growth and preventing abnormal hair, suggesting its potential as a treatment.

This study identified novel mutations in the DSG4 gene in a Japanese patient with monilethrix, affecting protein interactions that may disrupt hair shaft structure.
