This study shows that ZIP7 is a functional zinc transporter in mammalian cells, facilitating the movement of zinc from the Golgi apparatus to the cytoplasm.

This study found that DEFB1 polymorphisms, specifically the rs1800972 CG and GG genotypes, may predict susceptibility to and severity of alopecia areata.

CRISPR/Cas9 and prime editing can potentially fix skin disorder genes safely and effectively.

In this study, researchers found that oar-miR-377 regulates secondary hair follicle development in sheep by downregulating the SLC24A2 gene, and a specific SNP in oar-miR-377 is significantly associated with wool fiber diameter variation in Chinese Merino sheep.

This study found no significant difference in serum CCL27 levels between patients with alopecia areata and healthy controls, regardless of gender or age.

This study found that the plant-growth-promoting bacteria Azospirillum brasilense enhances root hair development by increasing auxin levels and activating specific transcription factors, highlighting key signaling pathways involved in this process.

This article discusses the structure of the human type II 5 alpha-reductase gene and reports no new experimental results.

This study concluded that CNGC14 is a calcium-permeable channel crucial for polarized tip growth in Arabidopsis root hairs, but other channels may also influence the observed calcium influx.

This study found that a phosphorus starvation-insensitive mutant of Arabidopsis thaliana shows altered root growth and auxin responses under low phosphate conditions compared to wild-type plants, suggesting a role for LPR1 in regulating these traits.

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.

In this case study, a girl with hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets had a novel mutation in the VDR gene that affected hair cycling without causing total alopecia, suggesting ligand-independent VDR function in hair cycling.

This study found that shorter GGN repeat lengths (≤23) in the androgen receptor gene are associated with androgenetic alopecia among Chinese males, whereas two specific SNPs studied were not present in this population.

This study found that the AR-E211 A allele is associated with a lower risk of both metastatic prostate cancer and androgenetic alopecia in an Australian population.

This study found that PNU 157706 is a highly potent inhibitor of human 5α-reductase enzymes, showing a stronger and longer-lasting antiprostatic effect in rats compared to finasteride.

This study identified a cluster of genes on chromosome 17 related to hair keratin-associated proteins, including 37 genes forming seven multigene families, localized in the hair shaft's upper cortex.

This study found that hepatic KRT79 expression is regulated by PPARA and is significantly associated with liver stress, suggesting it may serve as a diagnostic marker for liver diseases.

In this study, researchers identified two significant genetic polymorphisms in the 3'-UTR of the HSP70 gene in Moa buffalo, which may play an important role in heat adaptation, providing insights for conservation and performance improvement in tropical climates.

This study suggests that hair loss disorders like Marie Unna hereditary hypotrichosis may result from mutations that disrupt post-transcriptional regulation of HR protein expression by PCPB2 interacting with Hr mRNA.

This study reported a case of hereditary vitamin D–resistant rickets caused by a single heterozygous missense mutation in the VDR gene, showing dominant-negative effects and reduced response to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3.

CD8+ T cells re-expressing CD45RA may predict treatment resistance in severe alopecia areata.

This study reports that a novel frameshift mutation in the HTRA1 gene in a CARASIL pedigree led to reduced HTRA1 protein and increased TGF-β1 expression, potentially causing severe CARASIL and peripheral small arterial disease.

This study investigated a Labrador Retriever with paw pad hyperkeratosis and identified a unique de novo heterozygous missense variant in the GJB6 gene, suggesting its potential role in the condition, analogous to Clouston syndrome in humans, although differences between species may provide further insights.

In this study, researchers identified seven new genetic loci associated with prostate cancer susceptibility through a multi-stage genome-wide association study.

In this study, researchers reported that the SHBG +5790 G>A polymorphism was associated with an increased risk of developing resistance to hormonal castration in advanced prostate cancer patients.

This study found that the Arabidopsis thaliana protein Formin 2 localizes to plasmodesmata and is crucial for regulating their permeability by anchoring actin filaments, which affects virus susceptibility.

This study found that extracts from the rice variety Bue Bang 3 CMU, particularly the husk and bran, demonstrated antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-androgenic properties, suggesting potential use in treating androgenetic alopecia.

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.
