This study found a novel R430Q gene mutation in hHb6, which may be linked to the hereditary hair disorder monilethrix in the examined family.

This study developed a kidney-specific knockout mouse model lacking the Flcn gene, which recapitulates human Birt-Hogg-Dubé kidney tumorigenesis and shows that mTOR pathway inhibition with rapamycin can suppress tumor growth.

This study showed that the zinc finger protein GIS3 is important for root hair growth in Arabidopsis by regulating RHD2 and RHD4 genes, with application of ethylene and cytokinin helping restore root hair presence in mutated variants.

In this study, researchers identified two genetic mutations associated with producing finer and denser wool in fine-wool sheep, involving the genes KRT74 and EDAR, which may guide future breeding efforts to enhance wool quality.

This study found that TPA induces apoptosis in pig renal epithelial cells by affecting cell cycle proteins, and activated ras can prevent this process.

This study found that in Arabidopsis thaliana, the interaction between extracellular leucine-rich repeat extensins and the receptor-like kinase FERONIA helps control vacuolar expansion, crucial for cellular elongation.

In this study, homozygous VDR null mutant mice exhibited nonfunctional vitamin D receptors, leading to growth abnormalities and revealing the limited physiological importance of vitamin D pathways outside the classical receptor.

This study in Arabidopsis thaliana found that exposure to volatile compounds from Penicillium aurantiogriseum promotes root hair growth through signaling involving RALF22, ethylene, auxin, and photosynthesis, and that RALF22 plays a crucial role in the plants' response to these compounds.

This study demonstrated that the FER/MLO signaling module regulates calcium dynamics and ROS accumulation in root hair growth, with the constitutively active MLO (faNTA) able to restore normal development and signaling in specific mutant genotypes, highlighting MLO15's role in root hair tip growth regulation.

This study found that the retinol dehydrogenases SDR16C5 and SDR16C6 in mice play a crucial role in skin retinol dehydrogenase activity, affecting hair growth and gland functions without impacting survival.

This study proposes a model suggesting that the ratio of keratin 15 to keratin 14 in epidermal keratinocytes promotes a progenitor state and opposes differentiation, based on insights from both cell culture and transgenic mouse models.

This study identified the Itpr3 gene as responsible for the tufted hair loss phenotype in the BTBR mouse strain.

The vitamin D receptor helps control hair growth and may protect against certain skin tumors.

In this study, researchers identified a mutation in mice that causes hair loss and immune system issues, located on chromosome 18.

This study found that Polycomb repressive complex 1 is crucial for skin development and stem cell specification, influencing gene activity beyond its known repressor functions.

This study found that Rap1 deficiency in mice may lead to telomere shortening, DNA damage, and impaired mitochondrial function, contributing to cardiac aging and dysfunction.

This study demonstrated that mice lacking skin-specific RXRalpha expression developed hair follicle degeneration and alopecia, indicating the importance of RXRalpha/VDR heterodimers in maintaining hair follicle homeostasis.

This dissertation reveals that FERONIA, a cell wall-binding receptor kinase, plays a crucial role in regulating plant functions such as sugar signaling, pollen tube reception, and RAC/ROP-mediated auxin signaling.

This study found a novel nonsynonymous genetic variant in the hHb1 gene of a family with monilethrix, which differs from ten previously reported pathogenic mutations.

This case report highlights a novel NR5A1 gene variant associated with a severe 46,XY disorder of sex development, stressing the importance of genetic screening in similar cases.

This review discusses the diverse roles of the TRPS1 gene in regulating cartilage, kidney, and hair follicle development, highlighting its functions and interactions, but provides no new experimental results.

This study found that Acvr1b signaling is crucial for both hair follicle development and cycling in mice, with the genetic disruption leading to hair loss and a thickened epidermis.

This study identified a new pathogenic variant, c.1081G>T; p.(Glu361*), in the KRT31 gene as a cause of autosomal-dominant monilethrix, highlighting the role of hair keratin proteins in hair and nail tissue disorders.

In this study, Trf1 genetic deletion in mice, including those with cancer-prone mutations, was shown to not affect overall viability and cause only mild effects, while being necessary for tumor formation, suggesting a potential therapeutic window for Trf1 as an anti-cancer target.

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.
