This study found that the methylation level at CpG III site 4 of the KRT17 gene promoter significantly influences wool production in Angora rabbits, suggesting its potential as an epigenetic marker for breeding high wool yield.

This study found that type XVII collagen is crucial for regulating epidermal cells' proliferation in mice and may be a promising target for anti-aging skin treatments.

This study identifies two new proteins, CCDC22 and CCDC93, essential for root and root hair growth in Arabidopsis, and demonstrates their genetic link to a VTI13-dependent vacuolar trafficking pathway.

Revertant cell therapy shows promise for treating type XVII collagen deficiency, but better cell selection methods are needed.

This study found that in mice, type XVII collagen is essential for controlling epidermal cell proliferation through Wnt signaling, with its deficiency or altered distribution leading to skin hyperproliferation and aging-like changes.

This study found that homozygous mutant mice with a hypomorphic CD18 mutation developed a chronic inflammatory skin disease resembling human psoriasis, potentially implicating additional genetic factors in disease susceptibility.

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 identified a novel KRT86 mutation associated with autosomal dominant monilethrix, expanding understanding of its genetic basis beyond known motifs.

This study found that type XVII collagen (COL17) regulates interfollicular epidermis proliferation in both neonatal and aged mice through Wnt signaling, suggesting its potential as a target for anti-aging skin strategies.

A new test helps find drugs to treat head and neck cancer by targeting c-Rel.

This article discusses the functions of the enzyme 17beta-HSD10, including its role in steroid metabolism and potential links to Alzheimer's disease, but reports no new experimental findings.

This invention reports piperazine derivatives as potent inhibitors of type 3 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, suggesting potential therapeutic applications in treating prostate cancer, acne, and androgenic alopecia.

This study explored IL-17D's role in skin biology and found no significant difference in disease progression between IL-17D KO and WT mice in skin inflammation models, but IL-17D did promote cell migration and modestly accelerated wound healing, suggesting it may influence tissue repair processes.

This study found that recombinant human type XVII collagen (rhCOL17A1) promotes hair growth by activating the Wnt/β-catenin and SHH/GLI signaling pathways and increasing type XVII collagen expression, with significant effects observed in both cell and mouse models.

This study suggests that the residues Val-889 and Arg-752 in the androgen receptor steroid binding domain are crucial for the intermolecular interaction necessary for receptor dimerization and function.

This study identified the NAC transcription factor RD26 as a critical regulator of drought-induced root hair growth restriction in Arabidopsis thaliana, with a similar mechanism observed in tomatoes, indicating evolutionary conservation.

This study suggests that residues Val-889 and Arg-752 in the androgen receptor's steroid binding domain are crucial for NH2-/carboxyl-terminal interaction, affecting receptor stability and function.

In this study, researchers identified a unique Arg30stop mutation in the vitamin D receptor gene that causes hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets in a young French-Canadian boy by truncating the receptor and causing hormone resistance.

This study characterized two siblings with hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets and a mutation in the vitamin D receptor, finding no immune-related disorders despite a defective T cell response to vitamin D.

Blocking CYP17A1 enzyme may help improve certain brain function issues related to dopamine.

This study found that mimicking the XPD point mutation in mice resulted in trichothiodystrophy-like symptoms, supporting the role of basal transcription and DNA repair defects in the disease.

This study identified a specific LIPH gene mutation (736T>A) as common in Japanese patients with autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis, potentially indicating its role in the condition's manifestation within this population.

This study demonstrated that gene-corrected 3D skin constructs from RDEB patient-derived iPSCs, grafted onto immunocompetent mice, showed normal collagen VII expression after two months.

This study describes a patient with hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets (HVDRR) who, despite having a truncated vitamin D receptor, did not exhibit typical hair or skin abnormalities, suggesting possible compensation via interactions with other proteins.

Loss of COL17A1 causes hair follicle stem cells to age and leads to hair loss.

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 a gene from hamster flank organs is indirectly regulated by androgens, despite lacking direct androgen responsive elements, indicating involvement of androgen-dependent transcription factors.
