GLABRA2 represses root hair formation by inhibiting a specific gene.

This study suggests that the MAEG protein may facilitate epithelial–mesenchymal interactions during hair follicle development by binding to RGD-binding integrins like α8β1.

This study examined the morphological features of buffalo lips, finding that their structure includes distinct layers of skin, muscle, connective tissue, and glands.

This study examined the unique structural features of sinus hair follicles in the shrew Sorex unguiculatus, which suggest a specialization for vibration sensing.

Crickets have genetically controlled hair plates that help them sense and move their antennae.

The study found that balding scalps have more thin hairs and larger oil glands, which might contribute to skin conditions related to hair loss.

GLABRA2 gene controls root-hair growth by regulating phospholipid signaling.

In this study, researchers identified a novel congenital skin disorder in Chesapeake Bay retrievers, linked to a plakophilin-1 deficiency due to a genetic mutation, marking the first known occurrence in an animal species.

This study presents the first report on cloning and characterizing the full-length cDNA of SRD5A1 in Indian catfish (Clarias magur), revealing expression differences across reproductive phases and increased expression post-Ovatide administration in ovaries and testis.

This study found that hair cortisol levels in black-tailed prairie dogs, influenced by factors like predation risk and lactation, were associated with reproductive success, supporting the Cort-Adaptation hypothesis.

This study explored the molecular biology of skin adaptations in pangolins, revealing that certain genes for lipid synthesis have inactive patterns, while others related to skin function remain intact, suggesting complex evolutionary changes in their skin physiology.

This study found that, in Japanese patients with androgenic alopecia, sebaceous glands exhibit increased multilobulation which may be significant in the condition's pathology.

This case report describes a diagnosis of cutaneous pilus migrans in a 19-month-old girl, highlighting its rarity and distinction from larva migrans, and confirming it through microscopic examination.

In this study, several dermoscopic features such as hair diameter diversity, brown peripilar sign, and focal atrichia were frequently observed in both male and female androgenetic alopecia patients, highlighting these as potential AGA indicators.

In this study, researchers propose that different vertebrate skin appendages, such as hair, feathers, and scales, evolved in parallel from a shared ancestral cell structure associated with teeth, dating back approximately 420 million years ago.

This research suggests that hair keratins evolved from claw keratins in a hairless ancestor, with Hoxc13 controlling their expression in tetrapods, evidenced by the knockout of Hoxc13 hindering claw formation in Xenopus tropicalis frogs.

This study demonstrates a varied distribution of keratins in the epidermis of the Malayan pangolin, suggesting evolutionary adaptations related to their distinctive scales.

In this study, researchers explored the molecular and cellular traits of avian reticulate scales, finding that they lack localized stem cell niches for regeneration, unlike other scale types, leading to repair but not regeneration after wounding.

In this study, researchers found that AGD1 is crucial for membrane recruitment during root hair development in Arabidopsis thaliana, with its pleckstrin homology domain essential for targeting specific plasma membrane regions.

This article reviews acromegaloid facial appearance syndrome and presents a case in a 57-year-old woman, emphasizing the need for more cases to understand its clinical features and inheritance patterns.

This letter argues that cicatricial pattern hair loss likely represents end-stage androgenetic alopecia and not a variant of lichen planopilaris, as previously suggested.

This article reviews nonscarring and scarring hair loss conditions that may mimic androgenetic alopecia, reporting no new clinical results and highlighting the need for accurate diagnosis in hair restoration surgery.

In this study, transiently activating the sonic hedgehog signaling pathway in chickens transformed reticulate scales on the feet into feathers comparable to body feathers, without ongoing treatment, suggesting this pathway affects the diversity of bird skin appendages.

This case report identified cutaneous epitheliotropic T-cell lymphoma in a 3-year-old male sugar glider after skin biopsies, highlighting the need for thorough diagnostic evaluations in exotic pets.

This study found that distinct spiny hair morphologies in rodents arose independently multiple times but did not link the Ecdysoplasin A receptor gene mutation that affects human hair to these variations.

This retrospective study of 1604 alopecia areata cases reported 13 instances of a potentially new hair regrowth pattern, termed the "androgenetic-like pattern".

This study described the structure of the hair brush on male Endoclita vietnamensis moths' legs, identifying characteristics such as specialized scales and a pheromone gland, which could facilitate the future development of pheromone-based pest control methods for eucalyptus pests in China.

This study suggests that chicken and alligator scales evolved independently through convergent evolution rather than sharing a common origin with avian feathers.
