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

This study identified a genetic locus associated with rhabdomyosarcoma susceptibility in mice and found that specific differentiation markers are linked to the regression of basal cell carcinoma.

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 article discusses the crucial role of root hairs in water and nutrient uptake from soil and reports no new findings.

This study reported a significant association between the SNP rs2479106 in the DENND1A gene and PCOS in Saudi Arabian females, while no association was found for SNPs rs10818854 and rs10986105.

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

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 study found that different stabilizing mutations in Aux/IAA proteins affect root hair development in Arabidopsis by disrupting the auxin response and suggest a model where the relative abundance of these proteins determines root hair initiation.

In this case report, researchers described a 6-year-old girl with severe mandibuloacral dysplasia type A, noting unique physical deformities and a rare homozygous LMNA gene mutation not commonly associated with the condition.

This study identified a new genotype, V281+I172N/V281L, linked to non-classical 21-hydroxylase deficiency, suggesting it should be considered in genetic panels for the condition.

This case report illustrates how SNP array testing helped identify a DCAF17 mutation linked to Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome in consanguineous Qatari siblings with shared features including alopecia and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.

This study describes the expression patterns of type I inner root sheath keratin proteins K25–K28 in human hair follicles, highlighting their distinct distribution within different layers.

This study reports on an ongoing Phase I/IIa clinical trial of ex vivo gene therapy for treating severe Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa, involving six adult participants with COL7A1 mutations resulting in deficient type VII collagen production.

This study identified that in pig embryos, the miR-29a-5p/EDAR/lncRNA627.1 ceRNA complex plays a critical role in inhibiting hair placode precursor cells proliferation and regulating hair placode formation through the suppression of EDAR expression, which may provide insights into similar mechanisms affecting human hair conditions.

This study found that RSL4 in Arabidopsis thaliana regulates genes necessary for root hair elongation by controlling proteins involved in cell signaling, cell wall modification, and secretion.

This study found that PRX102, a peroxidase with a unique polar localization pattern, plays a role in root hair growth by aiding the transport of materials to the tips of growing root hairs.

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 mutations in type I IRS keratin genes disrupt keratin protein complexes in mice, suggesting crucial roles for these genes in proper hair coat formation.

This study identified several genetic variants associated with cattle hair coat length, which may help breed more heat-tolerant animals by facilitating efficient heat loss.

This study used whole-genome resequencing to analyze genetic diversity and selection in 17 rabbit breeds, identifying genes linked to traits like coat color and body size, which could inform breeding and conservation efforts.

Using testosterone-stimulated weanling rats can effectively replace castrated rats for anti-androgen testing, reducing animal stress.

This article reviews the role of LMNA gene mutations, particularly in Hutchinson–Gilford progeria syndrome, but does not report new experimental findings.

In this study, researchers identified a cluster of hair-specific keratin-associated protein genes within the 21q22.3 region, revealing a novel transcription mechanism involving TSPEAR/C21orf29 that may bypass typical transcriptional termination sites.

This study identified complex regulatory elements and interactions involving the Hr gene and HR protein that are crucial for hair follicle formation and cycling in mammals.

This study found that Arabidopsis thaliana mutants with altered AtRBOHC/RHD2 enzyme function showed abnormal protein regulation linked to increased drought sensitivity due to disrupted plasma membrane protein balance and cytoskeleton changes, as revealed through proteomic analysis and advanced microscopy.

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.
