This study found that the hair interior defect in AKR/J mice is linked to a mutation in the Soat1 gene, which disrupts SOAT1 protein expression and affects lipid metabolism critical for normal hair formation.

This study explored gene expression in Changthangi goats and found that higher expression of keratin-related genes and specific signaling pathways may play a role in the development of Pashmina fiber.

In this study, researchers found that the EDMTFH protein is present in specific layers of the chicken embryo skin and feathers, suggesting its role in feather mechanics and development.

This study found that Hoxc13 gene expression, influenced by melatonin, was associated with hair follicle activity in Cashmere goats, with in vitro evidence suggesting effects on genes relevant to follicle development.

This review examines the diverse roles of SRD5α enzymes across species, focusing on their involvement in steroid synthesis, sexual development, and various physiological processes, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the role of the androgen receptor in breast cancer diagnosis and treatment, and notes a lack of new research results on its therapeutic potential.

This study found significant differences in gene expression between newborn and adult skin, with infant skin notably increasing processes related to ECM organization, cell adhesion, and collagen fibril organization.

This study identified 14 genes affected by copy number variants that may contribute to alopecia areata, including four genes notably involved in autophagy and chromatin remodeling.

This study identified and updated the annotation of 61 keratin genes in dogs and horses, improving the genome annotation in these species through RNA-seq data comparison.

This study found that cetaceans have adapted their fibroblast growth factors to assist in low bone density, hypoxia tolerance, and the development of rigid flippers, reflecting significant evolutionary changes for aquatic life.

This study identified a novel missense MAFB variant in a family with some unaffected members, suggesting incomplete penetrance and the potential influence of modifier genes, epigenetic mechanisms, or environmental factors on MCTO phenotype.

This review discusses recent findings on the epigenetic regulation of adult stem cells and cancer stem cells, highlighting shared and distinct features, and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that deletion of c-Jun and JunB in mouse bulge hair follicle stem cells was sufficient to trigger psoriasis-like skin disease through thymic stromal lymphopoietin signaling.

This study suggests that miRNAs, particularly miR-195-5p, may regulate the loss of hair follicle inductivity in cultured dermal papilla cells by suppressing the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

This study established an androgen-responsive human organ culture model using hair follicles, demonstrating that women's intermediate facial follicles grow more hair in response to men's higher androgen levels.

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 concluded that neither basal nor ACTH-stimulated 17-OHP concentrations effectively indicate carrier status for 21-hydroxylase deficiency among Slovenian hyperandrogenic women, recommending molecular analysis of the CYP21 gene for reliable screening.

This study found that non-Kuwaiti COVID-19 patients in Kuwait had higher odds of death, ICU admission, ARDS, and pneumonia compared to Kuwaiti patients.

This article discusses concerns and recommendations from a French-speaking andrology society regarding COVID-19's potential impact on men's reproductive health and calls for further research in this area.

This study analyzed gene expression changes during the autumn coat color change in mountain hares and found conserved gene regulation with snowshoe hares, highlighting its role in seasonal camouflage adaptation.

In this mouse study, hair growth defects associated with the Gk5 null allele were partially alleviated by simvastatin treatment, suggesting GK5 plays a key role in skin-specific cholesterol regulation.

This study suggests that vitamin D-upregulated protein 1 (VDUP1) might play a unique role in regulating the differentiation of epidermal cells.

In this study, 17β-estradiol increased VEGF production in differentiated THP-1 cells, while dihydrotestosterone counteracted this effect by modulating adenylate cyclase activity.

This study reviews the mechanisms by which SARS-CoV-2 may impact male fertility, noting potential disruptions in spermatogenesis and hormone secretion, and underscores the need for follow-up in recovered men.

This study identified differentially expressed mRNAs and lncRNAs in Hu sheep hair follicles, suggesting certain genes and pathways are involved in the development of wool curvature patterns.

This study found that despite carrying an activating Hras mutation, hair follicle stem cells integrate into normal skin without causing tumors, unlike similar mutations in the epidermis, suggesting unique tumor-suppressing mechanisms in hair follicles.

This study identified a regulatory element necessary for Foxn1 expression specifically in mouse thymic epithelial cells, crucial for thymus development but not affecting hair follicles.

This article argues that lineage labeling with genetic markers is the gold standard for identifying epithelial stem cells, contrary to the view that in vitro methods alone are sufficient.

Finasteride significantly reduced tics and obsessive-compulsive symptoms in patients with Tourette syndrome.

This study found that osteopontin mRNA is abundantly expressed in dermal papilla cells during the catagen phase of hair growth in rats, suggesting a role in this phase.
