In this study of Danioninae species, researchers reported that the presence of breeding tubercles on the pectoral fins is conserved in certain species and linked to local androgen conversion, with steroid 5-α-reductase playing a crucial role in their development.

This study reports a unique case of common variable immunodeficiency with autoimmunity linked to a heterozygous S250C variant in the autoimmune regulator gene, suggesting a potential molecular basis for this combination.

This study suggests that Mcl-1 has a non-apoptotic role in promoting keratinocyte proliferation and Wnt/β-catenin signaling, potentially indicating a novel oncogenic activity.

A missing mK6irs1 gene causes hair loss in mice.

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.

This study found that the truncated hHb1-DeltaN transcript in breast cancer cells is produced by a cryptic intron promoter and responds to DNA demethylation, potentially altering cancer cell adhesion.

This study found genetic variations, including de novo variants and copy number variations, that may be associated with phenotypic discordance in monozygotic twins with various clinical conditions.

This study discovered that a specific G to C mutation in the ornithine aminotransferase gene is linked to the retarded hair growth phenotype in mice and may serve as a model for human gyrate atrophy.

This case report describes a 46,XY female patient with a novel homozygous nonsense mutation in the LHCGR gene, highlighting the need for molecular analysis in disorders of sexual development.

A new genetic mutation causing Xeroderma Pigmentosum was found in an 8-year-old girl, affecting her DNA repair.

In this study, the researchers reported that NMMHC IIA dissociates from PAR1 and activates the CREB3/ARF4 pathway, worsening thrombin-induced blood-brain barrier damage, suggesting it as a potential therapeutic target for blood-brain barrier-related diseases.

This study found that alopecia areata patients have higher odds of certain comorbidities like ulcerative colitis and vitiligo, while showing lower odds for conditions like hypertension and type 2 diabetes compared to healthy controls.

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 compound heterozygous mutation in a hairless rhesus macaque, which was associated with skin abnormalities similar to those in hairless mice and humans with APL.

In this case-control study, researchers investigated the association between SIRT1 gene polymorphisms and colorectal cancer risk, finding no statistically significant differences in polymorphism frequencies between patients and controls, but noted trends that warrant further study in larger populations.

Retinoic acid causes gland formation instead of hair in mouse skin by altering epidermal and dermal interactions.

This study identified a novel splice site mutation in the LIPH gene associated with autosomal recessive woolly hair, contributing to understanding the genetic basis of this condition.

This study identified specific genetic markers related to wool quality in Rambouillet sheep, which may aid breeders in making informed selection and breeding decisions for improved fine wool production.

This article discusses the human KRT72 wild-type allele's role in hair formation and reports no new research findings.

This study found that BBS7 is crucial for maintaining Shh signaling and periodontal ligament homeostasis, with occlusal hypofunction leading to its downregulation and impacting cell migration and angiogenesis.

In this study, 25% of CCHCR1-deficient mice exposed to stress developed hair loss similar to human alopecia areata, suggesting CCHCR1 is a susceptibility gene for the disease.

A specific gene mutation causes complete hair loss in an Irish Traveller family.

This study used a multi-layer in silico framework to evaluate Korean herbal compounds for androgenetic alopecia, identifying Biochanin A, Saponin Re, and Emodin as potential topical candidates with distinct safety and affinity profiles, although these findings remain purely computational without experimental validation.

This study conducted an in silico evaluation of Korean herbal compounds against key targets involved in androgenetic alopecia, finding Biochanin A, Saponin Re, and Emodin as promising candidates for topical treatments, but highlighting safety and topical formulation challenges.

This study identified Saponin Re and Emodin as top candidates for treating androgenetic alopecia, suggesting future research in dermal papilla cell cultures and scalp organoids despite safety concerns.

This study found that the OXI1 gene in Arabidopsis thaliana is vital for activating key protein kinases and is necessary for oxidative burst signal responses like pathogen resistance and root hair growth.

In this study, the SRD5A2 rs523349 polymorphism was significantly associated with an increased risk of miscarriage, particularly during the second trimester.

In this case report, researchers observed a Slovakian neonate with a rare EGFR genetic mutation who presented with severe neonatal dermatoses, ichthyosis, and multisystem complications, emphasizing the significance of genetic diagnosis for such complex conditions.

This study found that both genome-wide screening methods identified the VTRNA2-1 epiallele as highly responsive to environmental influences, suggesting a link between early embryonic environment, epigenetic changes, and human disease.
