This study suggests that mouse keratin 6 isoforms, K6a and K6b, have overlapping but distinct expression profiles, differing notably in their expression in suprabasal cells and response to phorbol esters.

In this study, researchers reported that specific gene polymorphisms in Jiangnan cashmere goats, particularly SNPs in the HOXC13 and WNT4 genes, were significantly associated with key economic traits like birth weight and yearling weight, providing molecular markers for breeding and enhancing economic trait stability.

This is the first report of the FOXN1 p.R255X mutation from India, demonstrating the global spread of this genetic mutation previously found only in an Italian community.

This study identified the NAC transcription factor RD26 as a critical regulator of drought-induced root hair growth restriction in Arabidopsis thaliana, with a similar mechanism observed in tomatoes, indicating evolutionary conservation.

This study found that periodic red light exposure in aged mice increased histone acetylation and activated metabolic processes in keratinocytes, mitigating cellular aging through enhanced fatty acid oxidation and altered gene expression related to lipid metabolism.

This study observed that mature neutrophils and their extracellular traps inhibit wound-induced hair follicle neogenesis in mice, despite being stimulated by pro-regenerative cues.

This study identified a novel MTS24-positive murine keratinocyte population with increased colony-forming ability, suggesting these cells may serve as a new reservoir of proliferative progenitor or stem cells in hair follicles.

This study suggests that canonical BMP signaling, particularly involving Smad1 and Smad5, plays a critical role in hair follicle stem cell regulation and hair morphogenesis, with distinct roles from pSmad8.

This study found that the type IV collagenases, MMP-2 and MMP-9, play significant roles in the hair cycle, potentially through their influence on VEGF, IGF-1, and TGF-β expression.

This study found that selectively targeting HDAC4 and HDAC7 in mice can reduce Th17 cell-mediated intestinal inflammation, suggesting a potential treatment approach for Th17-related inflammatory diseases like ulcerative colitis.

Nephronectin helps attach muscle cells to hair follicles.

This study suggests that the DORN1 receptor may play a role in eATP-induced changes in stomatal aperture in Arabidopsis thaliana, but not in the eADP signaling pathway.

This study found that a positive feedback loop involving RHD2, reactive oxygen species, and calcium ions helps maintain root hair growth sites and influences cell shape in Arabidopsis thaliana.

This study reports that transgene insertion in homozygous transgenic mice causes irreversible hair loss and impaired immune function, linked to interruption of the hairless locus on Chromosome 14.

This study explored the role of the histone modification H3K4me3 in cashmere goat dermal papilla cells, finding that increased levels enhanced cell proliferation and activated Wnt signaling genes, suggesting H3K4me3's involvement in hair follicle development through regulation of the gene RSPO3.

This study found that overexpressing Rps14 in supporting cells promoted hair cell regeneration in the organ of Corti by facilitating cell proliferation and differentiation.

In this study with mice, simultaneous inactivation of Smad4 and PTEN genes led to rapid development of invasive forestomach squamous cell carcinomas, mirroring human esophageal SCCs.

Rat hair follicle stem cells have functional oxytocin receptors, useful for studying neuropsychiatric disorders.

This study found that the protein CCN2 in dermal papilla cells is a physiologically relevant suppressor of hair follicle formation by destabilizing β-catenin, which may help maintain stem cell quiescence.

This study found that prolonged Nrf2 activation in mouse keratinocytes led to enlarged sebaceous glands, hair loss, and cysts, suggesting a role for Nrf2 in conditions like MADISH.

This study found that transient hypomethylation of histone H3 K4/9/27me3 is crucial for the proper dynamics of adult skin epithelial stem cells and effective tissue repair in mice.

In this study, upper-bulge epidermal stem cells in mouse hair follicles were shown to play a role in forming tactile sensory units by creating an extracellular matrix that supports nerve interactions.

This study suggests that hair-follicle afferent axons can be presynaptically inhibited by boutons containing the enzyme glutamic acid decarboxylase, which is linked to the synthesis of γ-aminobutyric acid.

This study found that the desmosomal protein desmoplakin is crucial for proper epidermal morphogenesis and radial intercalation in developing Xenopus embryos, affecting keratin organization and ectodermal structures.

This study found that a combination of botanical extracts from jasmine, Longoza, peony, and lily significantly increased a6 and b4 integrin protein expression in human skin cells, suggesting complementary effects that could enhance skin quality.

This study found that single-nucleus RNA sequencing identified more relevant keratinocyte clusters and specific markers than single-cell RNA sequencing, offering a new perspective on skin cell differentiation and function.

In this study, researchers identified a gene expression pre-pattern and implicated the Wnt inhibitor Dickkopf 4 in the formation of color patterns in domestic cat embryos.

This study found that activating β-catenin signaling in embryonic epidermis promoted hair follicle characteristics at the expense of normal epidermal differentiation, leading to early pigmentation and innervation.

This study suggests that the GDNF signaling pathway may enhance skin regeneration, as observed in axolotls and Spiny mice, indicating potential for similar processes in humans.
