This article corrects a duplication error in a previous publication and reports no new research findings.

This study reports that K7 expression patterns observed in mice are similar to those in humans, revealing previously unreported expression in the gastrointestinal tract, tongue, and various "hard" epithelial tissues.

This study found that PTEN regulates the number and genomic stability of hair follicle stem cells in the skin, with its deficiency leading to increased stem cell accumulation and senescence through interactions with BMAL1 and BMI-1.

In this study, overexpression of the gene OsPHR2 in rice led to increased root growth and phosphate accumulation in shoots, suggesting its role in phosphate signaling and homeostasis.

This review highlights the potential of integrating point-of-care testing with allele-specific amplification techniques like AS-PCR, AS-LAMP, and AS-RPA to improve the efficiency, accuracy, and affordability of genotyping single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with human diseases.

In this in silico study, researchers analyzed nonsynonymous SNPs in the LIPH gene linked to hypotrichosis and identified three potentially harmful variants (W108R, C246S, and H248N) out of 215 total, using sequence- and architecture-based bioinformatics techniques to differentiate between harmful and benign SNPs.

This review evaluates the role of the nuclear receptor PPAR- in skin diseases, highlighting its regulation of inflammation, lipid metabolism, and immune response, and suggests that PPAR-agonists could be promising therapies for conditions like psoriasis and atopic dermatitis.

PRSS35 enzyme may help start skin tumors and could be a target for cancer treatment.

This study identified four novel and one recurrent mutation in the AIRE gene among Arab families with APS1, suggesting these contribute to the disorder.

This study found that loss of the Ptch2 receptor in mice leads to increased incisor growth and enhanced mesenchymal stem cell differentiation, highlighting Ptch2's role in organ regenerative potential.

This study found that TPA treatment induced expression of keratins K6 and K16 in mouse epidermis, with K6 expressed across all cell layers and K16 only in post-mitotic cells.

This study describes a method using lentivirus in mouse cells to analyze epithelial-mesenchymal signaling important for hair follicle development, offering a quicker alternative to genetic models.

In this study, the authors reported that AtRXR3, a phosphorus-inducible DUF506 protein, modulates root hair growth under phosphorus stress by interacting with calmodulin and influencing calcium oscillations.

This study suggests that chronic treatment with TPA in mouse skin selectively expands a keratinocyte subpopulation hyperinducible for ODC, which may be a key target for neoplastic transformation.

A new test helps find drugs to treat head and neck cancer by targeting c-Rel.

This review discusses how increased gene copy number for telomerase components may contribute to telomerase up-regulation in cancer cells, although the exact mechanisms are not fully understood.

This study found that upregulated miR-149 restricted hair follicle stem cell differentiation and hair growth by inhibiting the MAPK1/ERK2 pathway, which affects FGF2 and c-MYC expression.

This study found that several genes, including capping protein, palladin, VEGF, and HSPC-related clones, might cooperatively influence the aggregation, proliferation, and cycle control of dermal papilla cells, potentially affecting hair follicle behavior.

This study found that PDCD4 protein expression is reduced in various skin cancers compared to normal skin, suggesting its potential role in preventing or treating certain skin cancers.

This study found that a newly identified gene, mK17n, may explain the lack of nail issues in mK17 null mice by compensating for mK17's function in the nail bed.

In this study, conditional inactivation of the Mad2l1 SAC gene in mice led to aggressive and lethal acute lymphoblastic leukemia and hepatocellular carcinoma, demonstrating a link between chromosomal instability and cancer development.

This study found that the unique functions of keratin 16 are likely determined by its tail domain, challenging the previous hypothesis about the role of the helix 1B subdomain.

This study found that prostasin's proteolytic activity is necessary for normal hair follicle development in mice, but not for interfollicular epidermal development.

In this study using Angora rabbits, researchers found that the FRZB gene inhibits hair follicle development by modulating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, affecting the expression of various genes related to this pathway and altering cell proliferation and apoptosis.

This article reviews extensive genetic polymorphisms in the keratin-associated proteins of human hair, indicating complexity but reporting no new clinical results and calls for further research on their potential impact on hair structure.

This study identified a novel insertion mutation in the hairless gene that may contribute to the development of congenital atrichia with papular lesions in a Pakistani family.

This study cataloged several long non-coding RNAs and microRNAs in cashmere goat dermal papilla cells, suggesting these non-coding RNAs may play a role in hair follicle stem cell activation and hair growth.

In this study, the PLP2 gene was found to promote secondary hair follicle development in Liaoning cashmere goats, with its expression negatively regulated by melatonin and potentially affecting follicle development via the BMP pathway.

This review discusses the potential of polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) for various dermatological treatments and highlights its significant effects on wound healing, anti-aging, acne scars, and hair loss, but emphasizes the need for further clinical studies.

This study identified the expression sites of five KAP5 genes on human chromosome 11q13.5 in scalp skin sections but did not explore their detailed distribution within hair follicles.
