In this study, researchers observed that mice with the naked gene showed frequent absence of hair cuticle and cortical cells during follicle growth, with abnormal keratin deposition also noted.

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 found that hair follicle stem cells in the hairpoor mouse, a model for Marie-Unna hypotrichosis, lose their quiescent state, leading to a disordered hair cycle and contributing to alopecia.

This chapter discusses stem cell activity in feather and hair follicles, emphasizing how stem cells maintain their population by cycling between quiescence and activation in specialized niches but reports no new results.

This study found that female Holdobaggy goslings have higher melanin content in their dorsal plumage than males, suggesting that initial plumage color can be used for sex identification.

In this study, Msx-2 knockout mice showed enhanced re-epithelialization and faster wound closure compared to wild-type controls, suggesting Msx-2 may influence skin morphogenesis during wound repair.

This study found that monilethrix in three unrelated European families is linked to the type II keratin gene cluster on chromosome 12q13, with no evidence of defects in type I keratins.

This report details the case of an 11-year-old girl with APECED syndrome carrying a unique homozygous mutation in the AIRE gene, the first of its kind documented.

This study observed that chemically-induced intersex frogs displayed altered brain mRNA profiles, with finasteride increasing certain hormone-related gene expressions and fadrozole reducing aromatase activity without affecting gene transcript levels.

This study found that in Arabidopsis, the MYB30-EIN3 module plays a role in adapting root hair development to phosphate deficiency, potentially enhancing phosphate uptake from soil.

This study reveals that β-catenin and retinoic acid are key regulators in the gene networks controlling the fate of skin appendages, such as scales and feathers.

This study identified a new gene, mrp4, in mice, which suggests it may have a unique role in the growth and development of hair follicles in the ears and tails.

This study described two cases of trichoblastomas in the tactile hair skin of aged house musk shrews, highlighting that their histological structure differs from that in humans and other animals.

The study found that pili bifurcati causes hair to intermittently split into two branches, each with its own outer layer.

This study found that infused mouse epidermal growth factor induced wool follicle involution through a quasi-physiological process similar to catagen and a separate pathological action, resulting in fleece 'break' or shedding.

This case report describes a patient with a rare combination of imperfect osteogenesis and Escobar syndrome, highlighting the genetic complexity and clinical manifestations of these conditions.

This study utilized polarized light microscopy to examine hair shafts in ten children with rare genetic disorders, such as Netherton syndrome and ectodermal dysplasia, providing valuable diagnostic insights into hair thickness, composition, and structural irregularities associated with these conditions.

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 found that the transcription factor Meis2 regulates the maturation and innervation of sensory neurons in mice, affecting their response to light touch.

This case report describes a 6.5-year-old girl with a balanced chromosome translocation involving chromosomes 1 and 6, linked to developmental speech delay and features suggestive of ectodermal dysplasia.

In this case report, a 20-year-old male with tricho-rhino-phalangeal syndrome was found to have a de novo frameshift mutation in the TRPS1 gene, highlighting the challenges in diagnosing this rare disorder.

In this study, researchers observed that mechanosensory neurons initially develop similar morphologies across different skin regions but diverge post-natally, adapting to the type of skin they innervate, with bone morphogenetic protein signaling crucial for forming Meissner corpuscles in glabrous skin.

In this study, researchers created a mutant mouse lacking the first cut repeat in the Cux/CDP protein, resulting in curly vibrissae and wavy hair, supporting the role of Cux/CDP's DNA binding domains in gene regulation during development.

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

This review explores how spiny mice (Acomys spp.) exhibit unique regenerative healing abilities, with findings indicating that these rodents use specialized injury response mechanisms and proregenerative pathways to enhance tissue repair and regeneration compared to scar-forming mammals.

This article reviews acromegaloid facial appearance syndrome and presents a case in a 57-year-old woman, emphasizing the need for more cases to understand its clinical features and inheritance patterns.

Some human genetic markers work for genetic studies in pig-tailed and stump-tailed macaques, which can help in their conservation.

This article reviews the generation of complex integument patterns through genetic, chemical, and environmental influences, with applications in tissue engineering, but reports no new experimental results.

This research observed that the skeletal abnormalities in Noggin null mice varied based on genetic background, and identified haploinsufficiency leading to joint fusions, similar to human conditions associated with NOGGIN deficiency.
