In this study, researchers identified an autosomal dominant mutation (E402K) in exon 7 of the KRT86 gene as a cause of Monilethrix in a large family from Turkey.

This study found that zebrafish and stickleback fish use similar genetic programs for tooth regeneration, despite differences in their dental structures.

This study discovered that a specific G to C mutation in the ornithine aminotransferase gene is linked to the retarded hair growth phenotype in mice and may serve as a model for human gyrate atrophy.

In this study, researchers found significant links between specific metabolic reprogramming-related genes and alopecia areata risk, highlighting increased SQSTM1 expression in affected hair follicles compared to healthy ones.

This study suggests that a newly identified KRT 71 gene variant may be responsible for curly hair in Curly Coated Retrievers and potentially contributes to follicular dysplasia.

Researchers found a gene mutation responsible for a rare hair loss condition.

This study identified four novel mutations in the C2orf37 gene among Woodhouse–Sakati syndrome patients, doubling known mutations, and found no significant link between isolated symptoms like deafness and dystonia and these mutations.

This review discusses the genetic origins of autosomal recessive woolly hair with hypotrichosis and reports no clinical results; it highlights the link to homozygous variants in the K25 keratin gene.

This article provides a protocol for live imaging of C. elegans germline stem cells, highlighting their potential for studying mitosis and other cell processes, but does not report new experimental findings.

Among Australian fur seals at one colony, this study found that alopecia, primarily affecting juvenile females, is linked to hair shaft fractures associated with low tyrosine and zinc levels, as well as higher pollutant exposure.

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.

This study observed that colorectal cancer tumoroids adapted to an environment without a matrix by developing disordered self-assembly, but their tumor-specific phenotypes and drug sensitivity remained unchanged.

This case report describes a Thai male with TRPS1 who exhibited unique and unreported features such as hypoplastic mandibular condyles, double mental foramina, and distinctive hair abnormalities.

In this study, researchers observed that knocking down the LPA 4 receptor in zebrafish embryos led to vascular and lymph vessel development abnormalities, including edema and decreased heartbeats.

In this study, researchers examined a patient with ZMYM2::FGFR1 fusion-positive leukemia, finding that Pemigatinib showed efficacy, while Ponatinib resistance was linked to a specific FGFR1 mutation. Other FGFR inhibitors demonstrated high effectiveness in ex vivo assays.

This study reported that an HS-associated NCSTN mutation in iPSC-derived skin organoids led to altered hair follicle stem cell differentiation and increased expression of proteins linked to HS inflammation.

In this study on Drosophila wings, researchers identified 435 genes with significant expression changes during wing hair morphogenesis, and found new phenotypes for 9 genes through functional validation.

This case report describes a five-year-old boy diagnosed with nevus comedonicus syndrome, a rare skin condition, characterized by asymptomatic skin lesions and a congenital cataract of the right eye, without inflammation or typical signs of related conditions.

This study identified a small molecule that activates GLI1, suppressing neuroblastoma cell growth, which may aid in developing new treatments for high-risk neuroblastoma cases.

This study identified KLHL24 as a new gene linked to a subtype of epidermolysis bullosa simplex, highlighting its role in unresolved cases by involving a degradation-resistant truncated protein impacting keratin turnover.

This study found that the PPARγ modulator NAC-GED-0507-Levo may protect hair follicles from chemotherapy-induced damage, potentially offering a strategy to address irreversible hair loss in cancer patients.

This article discusses the role of epimorphin as a key morphoregulator for various epithelial cells in tubulogenesis and reports no experimental results on its signaling pathways.

In this study, knockout mice lacking the Cyp4f39 gene showed severe skin barrier dysfunction and high early mortality, suggesting its critical role in skin barrier formation and insights into ichthyosis pathogenesis.

Keratin mutations cause skin diseases and could lead to new treatments.

This research found that nod factor can induce root hair reorientation and gene expression in Medicago truncatula with as little as a single molecule, implicating heterotrimeric G-protein signaling in this process.

This case report describes a 6-year-old girl diagnosed with monilethrix, experiencing hair fragility and loss after a fever, and showing improvement in hair density following treatment, despite persistent symptoms.

This study found that the Florida worm lizard has lost certain genes associated with claw development, which are present in other lizard species with claws, suggesting a link between the evolution of their limbless body and the loss of claw-related genes.

This study in a nine-year-old boy from Lebanon identified a gene mutation (c.1066dup p.(Arg356Profs*16)) associated with a rare inborn error of immunity, characterized by craniosynostosis, jaundice, and several other symptoms, expanding the known genotypic and phenotypic spectrum of this condition.

This study concluded that specific SNPs in the TRPS1 gene significantly alter its protein structure, affecting interactions and contributing to the development of congenital hypertrichosis.
