This study observed that stimulating the cholinergic system via muscarinic receptors in dermal papilla cells and other hair-related tissues promoted hair growth, with mechanisms involving the activation of Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathways in cell cultures and increased hair shaft elongation in mouse vibrissae treated with bethanechol.

This study found a novel R430Q gene mutation in hHb6, which may be linked to the hereditary hair disorder monilethrix in the examined family.

This study found that supplementing Liaoning cashmere goats with HMBi increased cashmere length while decreasing its diameter, attributed to changes in Met-related metabolites and elevated expression of genes related to the Met cycle and cell differentiation pathways such as Wnt and MAPK.

In this study, researchers discovered that the MafB gene, which is important for macrophage differentiation, shows high expression in the pancreas and is influenced by sex steroids, with varied expression patterns in hamster tissues and during reproductive phases.

This study reported that genome sequencing and analysis of mink hair keratin genes reveal the amino acid composition of key proteins and offer insights into fur biosynthesis, potentially aiding conservation efforts through transgenic animal design to produce mink fur and help save endangered mink species.

This study found that the mutation Glu402Lys in keratin hHb6 may be associated with monilethrix, and homozygous patients in a consanguineous family exhibited more severe symptoms.

In this study, researchers found that specific SNPs in the MTR gene are significantly associated with wool production and quality traits in Chinese Merino sheep, suggesting the gene's potential for sheep breeding.

This study suggests that the ANE syndrome mutation in yeast Nop4, analogous to human RBM28, disrupts protein folding and protein-protein interactions, contributing to ribosomal dysfunction.

This study suggests that the MAEG protein may facilitate epithelial–mesenchymal interactions during hair follicle development by binding to RGD-binding integrins like α8β1.

This study found that stem cells derived from spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy patients exhibited reduced androgen receptor levels and HDAC6, providing potential insights into the disease mechanism for future therapies.

This article reviews the role of LMNA gene mutations, particularly in Hutchinson–Gilford progeria syndrome, but does not report new experimental findings.

Scientists identified and cloned specific keratin proteins in mouse hair.

This study demonstrated that in live rodents, actin filaments adjust their structure to facilitate membrane transfer between cellular compartments with different biophysical properties.

This study found that keratin 6hf, a type II keratin, is expressed in specific regions of mouse and human hair and suggests potential interactions with keratin 17, impacting hair development and associated disorders.

This study found that mirex and TPA promote papilloma formation in CD-1 mouse skin through distinct populations of mutant Ha-ras cells, resulting in additive tumor yields.

New mutations in hair keratin genes can change hair structure and cause monilethrix, with nail issues more common in certain gene mutations.

This study demonstrated that the FER/MLO signaling module regulates calcium dynamics and ROS accumulation in root hair growth, with the constitutively active MLO (faNTA) able to restore normal development and signaling in specific mutant genotypes, highlighting MLO15's role in root hair tip growth regulation.

This study reports that a specific transporter protein in Staphylococcus hominis is responsible for transporting a malodour precursor, thereby playing a key role in human body odor production.

In this study, researchers identified two de novo germline missense mutations in the hair keratins hHb1 and hHb6 in patients with monilethrix whose parents were not clinically affected.

This study identified a new keratin, K6irs, as a potential histological marker for the inner root sheath of hair follicles in mice and humans, and as a candidate gene for hereditary hair defects.

This study synthesized and evaluated five 6-mercaptopurine derivatives for anticancer activity against three cancer cell lines, detailing the promising results of compound 1.

In this study, researchers identified the lncRNA MSTRG.14227.1 in cashmere goats and found it inhibits the morphogenesis of secondary hair follicles by interacting with the chi-miR-433/ADAMTS3 signaling axis, affecting cashmere yield and quality.

This study found that the Gsdma3 gene is necessary for normal hair follicle differentiation in mice, with its mutation leading to progressive hair loss and defects in hair structure.

This study found that Mf-rich-fiber in human hair underwent significantly greater degradation by proteases than Ma-rich-fiber, especially when treated with Proteinase K.

In this study, a specific SNP in the A2M gene of Murrah buffaloes was significantly associated with increased fat production and higher fat and protein percentages in milk.

In this study, a novel heterozygous transition mutation in the KRT86 gene was identified, which may be pathogenic for monilethrix in a Chinese family.
