In this study, deleting the gene Mettl3 in mouse epidermal progenitors resulted in impaired epithelial development and self-renewal, highlighting m⁶A's crucial role in regulating chromatin modifiers and maintaining normal epithelial tissue function.

In this clinical case report, a man with Birt Hogg Dube syndrome presented with parathyroid cancer, the first such case according to the authors, highlighting a potential link between Folliculin gene mutations and parathyroid cancer development.

This study indicates that MPZL3 negatively regulates sebaceous gland size in mice by controlling sebocyte proliferation, with implications for disorders like acne and psoriasis.

This study identified two novel point mutations in the hHb6 gene associated with monilethrix, suggesting these mutations could serve as diagnostic markers for this genetic hair disorder.

Alpha-MSH affects mitochondrial function, and MC1R mutations may increase skin aging.

The AR gene is linked to male-pattern baldness, TNFSF4 to heart disease, SLC19A3 to BBGD, MCT8 to a syndrome, and segmental duplications to genetic variation.

In this study, overexpression of the MtAnn3 gene in Medicago truncatula roots was associated with altered root hair growth polarity in a calcium-free environment.

Bardet-Biedl syndrome may include under-recognized skin problems related to its metabolic disturbances.

This study identified a recurrent mutation in the endothelin receptor type A associated with mandibulofacial dysostosis with alopecia, and proposed a mechanism involving increased ligand affinity due to structural changes.

This study reported a case of hereditary vitamin D–resistant rickets caused by a single heterozygous missense mutation in the VDR gene, showing dominant-negative effects and reduced response to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3.

In this study, researchers observed that a noncanonical mechanism involving the γ-secretase-dependent, RBPj-independent Notch intracellular domain improves survival in Msx2-Cre mice by delaying hair follicle destruction and reducing disease severity.

In this report, two adult patients with Tatton-Brown-Rahman syndrome exhibited new cardiac features, such as atrial fibrillation and ventricular and atrial dilatation, highlighting the importance of cardiovascular follow-up in adults with this condition.

In this study, researchers found that AGD1 is crucial for membrane recruitment during root hair development in Arabidopsis thaliana, with its pleckstrin homology domain essential for targeting specific plasma membrane regions.

This study found that Cutl1 mutant mice experienced retarded lung differentiation and abnormal hair follicle morphogenesis, indicating the vital role of CDP in lung development and hair follicle cell-lineage specification.

This study found that NDRG1 expression increases during the proliferation of infantile hemangioma and may positively regulate its growth, while FOXO1 downregulation plays a role in its pathogenesis.

A new mouse mutation causes skin and hair issues, influenced by another gene.

In this study, human dermal fibroblasts were identified as natural host cells that support productive Merkel cell polyomavirus infection, and the MEK antagonist trametinib was introduced as an effective inhibitor to control the virus.

This study found that deleting all three Desmoglein 1 genes in mice led to impaired skin barrier function, disorganized epidermis, and postnatal lethality, highlighting Dsg1's essential role in epidermal development and maintenance.

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 found that BRG1 is crucial for keratinocyte migration during skin wound healing, as its suppression impairs wound closure by inhibiting migration without affecting cell proliferation or apoptosis.

This study found that disrupting Adam10 in the epidermis led to severe skin and multi-organ abnormalities, implicating Adam10 as crucial for proper Notch signaling and skin maintenance.

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.

Recognizing minor skin lesions can help identify serious cancer syndromes.

This study found dependencies between genetic variants and various phenotypes related to fetal and early childhood growth and neurological development in healthy infants, suggesting significant gene candidates for further investigation.

In this study, researchers explored ear pinna development in two rodent species and identified that BMP5 plays a crucial role in chondroblast proliferation but not in their initial specification, with implications for understanding tissue differentiation and potential impacts on reconstructive surgery.

This study observed that GREM2 was specifically and robustly expressed in the dermal sheath cup of hair follicles during various hair cycle phases, suggesting its significant role in regulating hair cycling processes through BMP signaling.

This study found that hair manganese levels did not vary by acute coronary syndrome or stable coronary artery disease severity, but a modest, non-significant correlation with body mass index suggests a potential link between manganese homeostasis and cardiometabolic status that warrants further investigation.

This case study reports a new LAMB3 mutation linked to junctional epidermolysis bullosa with severe urinary tract stenosis, outlining treatment challenges and expanding knowledge of EB-related urological complications.

This review summarizes current knowledge about Birt–Hogg–Dubé syndrome, discussing recent findings on its pathogenesis and treatment, but reports no new clinical results; the authors emphasize understanding its cutaneous manifestations.

This study found that fibroblasts from Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy patients with certain genetic mutations overexpress markers of fibrosis, and gene correction techniques reduced fibrogenic molecule expression in cell models, suggesting potential therapeutic applications.
