In this study, researchers identified novel LMNA mutations in patients with atypical progeroid syndrome, revealing clinical features distinct from other similar disorders, but unrelated to mutant prelamin A accumulation.

This study reported that knocking out the HR gene in pigs using CRISPR/Cas9 led to hairless eyelids and abnormalities in the thymus and peripheral blood, suggesting pigs as a model for human HR-related hair disorders.

This study found that although progerin expression in mouse skin causes significant nuclear shape changes in keratinocytes, it does not result in alopecia or common skin abnormalities seen in human Hutchinson–Gilford progeria syndrome.

This review discusses the pathogenesis of melasma, including genetic, environmental, and hormonal factors, and highlights potential avenues for new treatments and preventive strategies, but reports no new experimental findings.

This study found that the hairless gene in mice has a more extensive role in development than previously thought, as indicated by its expression in various tissues and associated abnormalities in hr/hr mutants.

This report describes two South Australian Poll Hereford calves with a syndrome of congenital dyserythropoietic anaemia, dyskeratosis, and progressive alopecia, observing specific blood and bone marrow abnormalities.

This study found that the mammalian hairless gene encodes a corepressor protein that interacts with thyroid hormone receptors, providing insights into hair loss syndromes in humans and mice.

This review discusses the roles of the hairless (HR) protein as a corepressor, particularly its impact on RORα-mediated transcriptional repression, and reports no new experimental findings.

This study found that transgenic mice expressing human keratin K8 in the epidermis showed increased progression of skin lesions toward malignancy, suggesting a role for K8 in the development of invasive skin cancer.

This article reviews various topics discussed at a workshop on hair disorders, focusing on hair biology, diagnosis, and challenges in therapy evaluation, without presenting new clinical findings.

This review discusses recent findings on hair follicle morphogenesis and regeneration, focusing on molecular signals and stem cells, and suggests that understanding these processes may aid in developing new strategies for wound healing.

This review discusses potential causes of alopecia and hair overgrowth in pediatric patients, detailing diagnostic techniques and treatments, but presents no new research findings.

This review discusses the interplay between signaling/transcription factor-mediated and epigenetic mechanisms in skin development and regeneration, highlighting the need for further exploration of epigenome reorganization in these processes.

In this study, researchers identified loss of function variants in the HR gene as likely causes of the distinct roaning hair coat seen in lykoi cats.

Acne is a common skin condition linked to diet, hormones, and genetics, and early treatment can prevent scarring.

In this study, high doses of Lepidium sativum seeds extract were reported to cause toxicity and tissue damage in animals, suggesting the need for careful use under medical supervision.

This study found that normal murine hair follicles are direct targets for melatonin bioregulation, expressing receptors that are regulated in a hair cycle-dependent manner, influencing keratinocyte apoptosis.

Eating a balanced diet with the right vitamins and minerals is important for healthy hair, but too many supplements can be harmful.

This study suggests that melanoma tumor cells exhibit intrinsic plasticity, challenging the applicability of the cancer stem cell model to this malignancy.

This review introduces the morphological and molecular principles of hair follicle development but reports no new experimental results, focusing on recent insights and forming a working hypothesis.

This study observed that Cyp27b1−/− mice exhibited growth and skeletal abnormalities similar to those of Vdr−/− mice, despite differences like the development of alopecia in Vdr−/− mice, suggesting that 1α,25D3 may directly influence chondrocyte proliferation and differentiation.

This study assessed breeding value estimation methods for Korean Sapsaree dogs, finding varied accuracy across BLUP approaches and identifying significant genomic regions affecting traits like body height and hair length. The researchers suggest these findings can enhance breeding strategies for this culturally significant breed.

This article outlines methods to study the skin and its molecular traits, focusing on interpretation and techniques applicable to mouse models, including diverse assays and approaches like electron microscopy and large-scale lipid analyses.

This study found that cathepsin L deficiency in mice led to significant abnormalities in hair follicle development and cycling, including disrupted hair shaft outgrowth and premature hair growth phase entry.

This mini-review discusses human hair follicle development and summarizes genetic disorders linked to abnormalities in hair follicle morphogenesis, structure, or regeneration, but reports no new experimental results.

This study found that a mutation causing Stormorken syndrome in mice led to skeletal abnormalities and unusual hair growth, showcasing the STIM1 R304W protein’s role in bone development and cell fate.

This study found that removing PPARγ specifically from mouse adipose tissue led to severe fat loss, insulin resistance, diabetes, and associated metabolic abnormalities.

In this mouse study, severe selenoprotein deficiency in epidermal cells was linked to skin abnormalities, disrupted hair follicle development, and progressive alopecia, highlighting the role of selenoproteins in skin and hair health.

In this study, homozygous VDR null mutant mice exhibited nonfunctional vitamin D receptors, leading to growth abnormalities and revealing the limited physiological importance of vitamin D pathways outside the classical receptor.

This study found that AP-2α and AP-2β transcription factors are crucial for maintaining adult skin homeostasis, with their inactivation in keratinocytes leading to impaired differentiation, hair abnormalities, and inflammation, highlighting their key regulatory roles.
