This study found that mrp/plf-mRNA expression in murine skin increases in response to different tumor promoters, suggesting its potential as a short-term biomarker for chemical carcinogenesis.

In this study, researchers observed that inhibiting myosin light chain kinase in hair cells reduced stiffness and oscillation in bullfrog hair bundles and increased hearing thresholds in mice.

In this mouse study, researchers found that the absence of laminin-511 in skin delays hair follicle development and disrupts hair shaft differentiation, affecting key transcription factors for hair keratins.

This study identified a missense mutation in the rat Desmoglein 4 gene, causing abnormal hair shaft development in lanceolate hair mutant rats by disrupting a critical calcium binding site.

In this study, researchers found that the SLICK1 allele in cattle may alter local immune regulation, hair growth, and tissue remodeling, as indicated by differential gene expression pathways associated with immune and inflammatory responses in slick vs. nonslick Holsteins.

This case report details the dermoscopic features of bilateral cutaneous larva migrans in an adult male, noting similarities with lymphangioma circumscriptum but highlights that typical dermoscopy magnification may be insufficient for diagnosis.

This review discusses cornea-specific keratin expression patterns in human and mouse development and reports no new experimental results; it highlights the need for investigating keratin mutations' role in pathology.

In these two clinical trials, DS-2325a, a KLK5 inhibitor, was found to be generally safe and well tolerated in healthy volunteers, with mild and non-serious adverse events, suggesting its potential for further development as a treatment for Netherton Syndrome.

This study found that the K14 promoter exhibited higher activity in skin cell lines compared to other cell lines, while both K14 and K5 promoters were active in all tested cell lines.

This study mapped monilethrix, a hereditary hair and nail disorder, to the type II keratin cluster on chromosome 12q, marking the first primary human hair disorder localization and implicating defects in "hard" keratins.

This study identified biallelic variants in the LSS gene as a possible genetic cause of palmoplantar keratoderma-congenital alopecia syndrome type 2, highlighting the role of cholesterol synthesis in skin cornification.

In this study, mice lacking the Mcpip1 gene in their myeloid cells did not develop SCC-like tumors but instead showed increased melanocyte activity and hair loss, indicating a distinct role for myeloid Mcpip1 in skin cancer development compared to keratinocyte Mcpip1.

This study concluded that removing alopecia and mucous membrane components from the CLASI-A score limits the ability to capture crucial clinical information about cutaneous lupus erythematosus activity, recommending their retention.

Low level laser therapy may help with hair loss.

This study identified a radio-resistant population of Krt15+ stem cells in the mouse small intestine that can initiate tumors, suggesting potential targets for colon cancer therapy.

In this study, conditional inactivation of the Mad2l1 SAC gene in mice led to aggressive and lethal acute lymphoblastic leukemia and hepatocellular carcinoma, demonstrating a link between chromosomal instability and cancer development.

In this study, researchers developed EPO-derived peptides that enhanced hair growth by stimulating dermal papilla cells and increasing IGF-1 expression without triggering systemic erythropoietic effects in tested models, indicating a promising approach for treating hair loss.

This review explores clinical studies on low-level laser therapy (LLLT) for alopecia and suggests it may benefit patients unresponsive to conventional treatments, but larger studies are needed to confirm efficacy.

This study identified novel LSS mutations implicated in hypotrichosis simplex with or without neurodevelopmental abnormalities, highlighting the need for careful evaluation of synonymous mutations' potential pathogenic effects.

This study found that while epidermal PLCγ1 is not necessary for keratinocyte differentiation in interfollicular epidermis, it is crucial for normal hair and sebaceous gland formation in mice.

Slug (Snai2) helps regulate hair growth timing in mice.

This article reviews the role of KLF4, a transcription factor, in various cellular processes and its dual function as a tumor suppressor or oncogene depending on the context, but presents no new experimental results.

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 article describes a non-blinded study investigating low level laser therapy for seven patients but reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, researchers overexpressed Lrig3 in mouse skin and observed hair loss linked to changes in skin protein profiles and signaling pathways, suggesting a potential role for Lrig3 in maintaining skin homeostasis.

This study identified the c.1204G to A (p.E402K) mutation in the hHB6 gene as a cause of monilethrix in a Chinese family, highlighting the gene's role in the condition.

This study identified four immune-related signaling molecules (LGR5, PTN, JAG1, and DKK1) associated with keloid, suggesting their potential role in its pathogenesis and as targets for new treatments.

This study found that an ML model incorporating factors like Breslow thickness and age improved cutaneous malignant melanoma prognosis predictions compared to TNM staging, with a C-index of 80% versus 66.6% for TNM alone, suggesting ML's potential for personalized prognostication.

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.
