In this study, researchers in Southeastern Wisconsin characterized circulating SARS-CoV-2 lineages, notably identifying the dominance of Omicron variants, including sublineages XBB.1.5, XBB.1.16, and XBB.1.9.1, which exhibit mutations aiding viral transmission and immune evasion. This genetic analysis supports public health efforts in monitoring evolving virus strains.

This case report describes a rare instance of dermatophytosis in a young cat caused by Microsporum gypseum, confirmed by molecular analyses to be Arthroderma gypseum.

In this study, researchers proposed a deep learning approach combining genetic, hormonal, scalp health, and lifestyle data to predict hair loss, employing CNNs for image analysis and RNNs for modeling data over time, although specific results are not reported.

This study reports that K7 expression patterns observed in mice are similar to those in humans, revealing previously unreported expression in the gastrointestinal tract, tongue, and various "hard" epithelial tissues.

This study reports that variation in the ovine TCHH gene may influence wool fibre curvature, with specific gene variants affecting the mean fibre curvature in sheep.

This study identified Armillaria gallica and Armillaria cepistipes as the most common symbiotic species with Polyporus umbellatus in China, and reported genetic diversity among their genotypes.

In this study, researchers characterized the FGF5 gene in Chinese Merino sheep, identified a new mRNA splicing variant, FGF5S, and noted its restricted expression in the brain, spleen, and skin.

This study observed that genetic variation in the ovine KRTAP22-1 gene is linked to increased wool yield and decreased fiber curvature in sheep, indicating its potential use in breeding programs.

In this study, researchers identified two novel peptidylarginine deiminases from treated rat keratinocytes, both showing enzyme activity with PAD‐R11 reflecting a characteristic of epidermal enzymes.

This study describes a method for labeling and tracking hair follicle stem cells in mouse skin using a Cre/lox recombination system with tamoxifen, providing insights into stem cell behavior and contribution to tissue regeneration.

This article reviews the challenges in studying keratin proteins and emphasizes the potential of modern proteomic techniques to advance their research, but it reports no new findings.

This study found that the finer fibers of Alpas cashmere, compared to ordinary cashmere, are associated with the down-regulation of specific keratins and keratin-associated proteins, suggesting a molecular target for breeding cashmere goats with improved fiber quality.

Different keratin proteins are expressed in various epithelial cells at different stages, affecting cell structure and function.

This study identified two high sulfur protein genes, B2E and B2F, in rats, which are expressed in hair cortical cells during anagen and contribute to hair fiber production.

This study provides the first draft of the male Asiatic lion's whole genome, revealing low genomic diversity and highlighting conservation concerns.

This study found that Magra sheep with high-luster wool exhibited significantly higher expression of keratin genes, suggesting that increased keratin protein levels may be crucial for wool luster.

This review discusses molecular testing for endocrine diseases, highlighting its diagnostic benefits and potential for prevention, particularly in conditions like multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 and adrenogenital syndrome, but reports no new clinical results.

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

In this study, researchers identified nine new sheep keratin genes, highlighting species-specific differences in the expression and compartmentalization of wool-related keratin genes compared to humans.

In this study, researchers found that the cashmere hair growth cycle is divided into three periods and key genes like KAP and KRTAP are positively correlated with these cycles in cashmere goats.

In this study, researchers successfully cloned the KAP24.1 gene from sheep to analyze its expression in skin and hair follicles, finding that Mountain-type Hetian sheep showed the highest levels of expression and that androgen concentration significantly influenced KAP24.1 protein expression.

Haplogroup X found in Altaian population supports Amerindian origin.

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.

This study found that alkaloids isolated from Cucumis metuliferus fruit pulp demonstrated antiviral activity against IBDV in chicken embryo fibroblast cells and NDV in 10-day-old embryonated chicken eggs, while being non-cytotoxic.

In this study, researchers observed that African spiny mice, Acomys cahirinus, are capable of regenerating skeletal muscle in dermal wound sites, unlike common mice, Mus musculus.

This study identified differentially expressed proteins and pathways potentially involved in wool bending in Zhongwei goats, with specific genes like COL6A1 and CRNN emerging as important candidates in this process.
