This study found that PGRP-S expression in mouse epidermis is specific to certain hair follicle epithelia, depending on the skin region, and can be transiently induced in flank skin hair follicle epithelium after exposure to Staphylococcus aureus, suggesting a role in environmental surveillance.

This study suggests that MPZL3, a mitochondrially localized protein, may play an integral role in regulating hair follicle cycles, with potential therapeutic implications for hair growth disorders if findings translate to humans.

In this study, researchers identified compound heterozygous variants in the MBTPS1 gene associated with ectodermal dysplasia features in a 14-year-old female, broadening the known disorder spectrum linked to these genetic mutations.

This study found that overexpressing the 14-3-3σ protein in transgenic mice reduced keratinocyte proliferation and migration, leading to thinner epidermis and fewer hair follicles due to IGF-1 pathway inhibition.

This study reveals that CSPG4-positive basal cell keratinocytes show distinct global gene expression from CSPG4-negative cells, despite similar colony-forming efficiency.

This study found that a spontaneous deletion in the Dsg3 gene of mice leads to hypomorphic desmoglein 3 expression, resulting in severe immunodeficiency, cyclic hair loss, and wasting disease, without causing the blistering typical of pemphigus vulgaris.

In this study, sequences upstream of the TGM3 gene were found to regulate epithelial-specific gene expression in keratinocytes, suggesting potential applications in gene therapy.

This study suggests that the Grasp protein may play a role in regulating skin homeostasis following UVB exposure by influencing p53-mediated apoptotic responses in mice.

The Trichodysplasia spinulosa virus protein can cause abnormal hair growth in mice.

This study by Pérez-Oliva et al. explored how Mahogunin Ring Finger-1 (MGRN1) affects melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) signaling, suggesting that MGRN1 competitively inhibits Gαs binding to MC1R, influencing pigment production.

This study explored the structure and function of lipocalin prostaglandin D synthase, revealing its dual role in substrate catalysis and as a lipophilic ligand carrier, potentially informing future drug delivery design.

This study found that while SP did not enhance linear hair growth in cultured hair follicles, it prolonged the anagen phase and altered the expression of growth factors and apoptosis-related molecules, suggesting a stimulatory effect on hair growth.

The researchers reported that the novel MBTPS2 variant p.Glu172Asp found in a male proband is likely pathogenic, consistent with osteogenesis imperfecta symptoms and molecular signatures, including disrupted fatty acid metabolism and collagen production.

This study observed that reduced activation of SMAD2/3 proteins in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma tissue compared to adjacent tissue may indicate a tumor suppressor role in disease progression.

Certain substances can help skin cells become anti-inflammatory, aiding in tissue repair.

In this study, topical application of α-methylspermidine during the telogen phase in mice induced hair growth by increasing the polyamine pool and mimicking the anagen phase's characteristics.

This study found that the NHD domain, but not the PHD domain, of hPygo2 is crucial for Wnt-independent growth of ovarian cancer cells, and identified a key interaction with Treacle protein involved in ribosomal biogenesis.

This study identified a specific hemizygous intronic variant in the MBTPS2 gene associated with IFAP syndrome in a patient, revealing exon skipping and reduced normal transcript expression through long-read RNA sequencing.

This study found that full-length Agouti protein modulates melanocortin receptor signaling through a dual mechanism involving competitive antagonism and receptor down-regulation, whereas the carboxyl-terminal fragment acts solely as a competitive antagonist.

Among in vitro and in vivo models, this study found that Miscanthus sinensis var. purpurascens flower extract may promote hair growth, potentially by modulating growth factor expressions and facilitating earlier hair follicle transitions in treated mice.

This study found that a gain-of-function mutation in the TRPV3 channel leads to altered hair development in DS-Nh mice by affecting the anagen and telogen phases, highlighting TRPV3's role in hair growth regulation.

This study suggests that common proteomic changes, including the expression of the protein S100A6, may occur during the expansion of AD-MSC from different donors.

This study reports that the transgenic expression of Dsg1 in mice rescued the severe B6-Dsg3−/− phenotype and created a syngeneic mouse model of pemphigus vulgaris, which may aid in understanding autoimmunity mechanisms.

This study found that overexpressing Dsg3 in the suprabasal epidermis of transgenic mice resulted in flaking skin and abnormal hair growth, supporting Dsg3's role in regulating epidermal differentiation.

This case report describes a rare occurrence of ectodermal dysplasia features in a 14-year-old with MBTPS1 gene variants, expanding the known spectrum of related disorders.

This study found that minoxidil increases the expression of a reporter gene linked to hair growth in cultured hair follicles from transgenic mice, suggesting a potential model for studying hair biology.

This review focuses on S100A6, a Ca²⁺-binding protein, detailing its role in cell functions, the regulation of its expression, and its potential as a biomarker and therapeutic target in various diseases.

This study found that a mutation in the Tmprss6 gene disrupts hepcidin regulation, leading to iron deficiency and alopecia in mice, highlighting TMPRSS6's vital role in iron absorption.

In this study, elevated mRNA levels for serine-rich ultra high sulfur proteins were observed during active hair growth phases in mice, particularly in the forming hair structures and upper skin layers.
