In this study, researchers found that alpha-keratin homologs similar to those in mammalian hair are present in the claws of the lizard Anolis carolinensis, suggesting a structural role during claw formation.

In this study, researchers found that the pCLCA2 protein is expressed in specific areas of pig skin, but its role in skin structure or function remains unclear.

In this study, nanocapsule-based preparations containing hinokitiol promoted hair growth in mice comparably to Minoxidil solution, as indicated by photographic and histological analysis.

This study identified a new mouse mutation associated with noninflammatory proliferative skin disease and hair abnormalities, drawing parallels to human conditions like Netherton's syndrome and monilethrix.

This study suggests a potential genetic component in CFA among Ridgeback dogs, but MLPH genotyping did not identify the MLPH gene as a contributing factor.

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 reports new monilethrix cases in Venezuela, the Netherlands, Belgium, and France, expanding the known mutational spectrum of the disorder with novel mutations in KRT81, KRT83, and KRT86 genes.

In this study, topical inhibition of casein kinase 1 in mice was found to enhance melanocyte precursor migration and eumelanin production, suggesting potential applications for treating vitiligo and graying hair through KitL/c-Kit signaling pathway activation.

In this study, Mpzl3-/- mice developed severe seborrhea-like dermatitis with skin inflammation, indicating MPZL3's role in the skin condition's development, independent of adaptive immunity.

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

This study identified a new mutation in SELH/Bc mice causing distinctive whisker and body hair abnormalities, mapped near the type I keratin cluster on chromosome 11.

Krt6a-Cre transgenic mice help study gene effects on hair follicle development and tumor suppression.

In this study, Fructus Ligustri Lucidi extract was found to promote the proliferation of human hair dermal papilla cells by activating the ERK and Akt pathways.

In this study, low-level light therapy increased the proliferation and activation of dermal papilla cells, which in turn may enhance the growth of outer root sheath keratinocytes, suggesting potential mechanisms for improving hair follicle interaction.

This study presents a new classification of adult human scalp hair patterns based on high-resolution photographs, which may assist hair restoration surgeons and dermatologists in determining appropriate punch size for follicular unit extraction.

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 study found that prolactin is a key regulator of keratin expression in human hair follicles, enhancing specific keratin types and influencing epithelial stem cell-associated keratins.

This review discusses the benefits and applications of low level laser therapy in cosmetic dermatology, particularly for skin conditions and pigmentation disorders, but reports no new clinical results.

Scientists identified and cloned specific keratin proteins in mouse hair.

This study found that the mK6alpha and mK6beta genes in mice are regulated differently at the mRNA level, with implications for understanding K6 gene evolution and function in mammals.

In this study using mice, simultaneous deficiencies in claudin-1 and claudin-3 were associated with hair loss and altered hair follicle architecture during the telogen phase, suggesting a role in hair retention.

In this study, researchers used NIH hairless mice to uncover genetic markers associated with hair loss and identified a Lama3 point mutation as a potential genetic contributor, creating a mutant mouse model that may advance the study of androgenetic alopecia.

This study reports that LL-37 treatment enhances cell proliferation, migration, and secretion of regenerative factors in adipose-derived stem cells, potentially promoting hair growth in vivo.

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 found that IL-9 influences the behavior of human primary keratinocytes by promoting motility while reducing invasion potential through a novel mechanism independent of matrix-metalloproteinases.

In this study, researchers developed a new classification system for anterior hairline types among Asian males without androgenetic alopecia, finding MM, RM, and ML to be the most common types.

Delta1 is crucial for controlling skin cell growth and preventing tumors in mice.

In this study, Akt2 and the oncogenic protein Tcl1 were found to be essential for early blastomere proliferation and embryo development in preimplantation mouse embryos.

This study identified a novel mutation, R430Q in the KRT86 gene, in a Han family with monilethrix, which may contribute to the disease's pathogenic mechanism.
