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.

In this study, researchers identified key miRNAs and target genes involved in hair follicle development in Merino sheep, providing insights that could aid in improving sheep breeding for wool quality.

This study identified a new S100 fused-type protein, scaffoldin, in reptiles and birds and suggests that SFTP-positive epithelia serve as scaffolds for the growth of various skin appendages, indicating a common evolutionary origin.

This study found that while the KRTAP gene family is unique to mammals, humans have a similar number of these hair gene types as other primates despite having less body hair.

This paper reviews the evolution of skin appendages and keratin-associated proteins among amniotes, proposing a model for their genetic divergence without new experimental results.

Hard α-keratin in hair has a unique, nonordered structure, different from other fibers.

This study reports a semidominant inheritance of epidermolytic ichthyosis due to a KRT1 mutation, which was previously thought to be only inherited dominantly.

This study found that Hetian sheep with higher wool density produce more and finer wool, with key genes potentially influencing their wool growth and density.

This study identified genetic loci and pathways associated with long hair growth in the Tianzhu white yak, providing new insights into the genetic mechanisms of this trait.

This study found that STAT3 directly inhibited the activity of the sheep FST gene promoter, consequently reducing cell proliferation and promoting a better understanding of hair follicle development mechanisms.

This study assessed breeding value estimation methods for Korean Sapsaree dogs, finding varied accuracy across BLUP approaches and identifying significant genomic regions affecting traits like body height and hair length. The researchers suggest these findings can enhance breeding strategies for this culturally significant breed.

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 the WIF1 gene may play a crucial role in hair follicle growth and development in Angora rabbits by regulating specific genes and proteins.

This study examined genetic adaptations in Tibetan sheep through whole-genome resequencing, identifying key genes related to hypoxia tolerance, wool color, and body size. These findings provide a foundation for future molecular breeding strategies to enhance wool quality and adaptive traits in these high-altitude environments.

In this study, researchers identified specific gene polymorphisms in Subo Merino sheep that significantly affect wool traits, suggesting these genetic markers could aid in breeding high-quality fine-wool sheep.

In this study, researchers reported that specific gene polymorphisms in Jiangnan cashmere goats, particularly SNPs in the HOXC13 and WNT4 genes, were significantly associated with key economic traits like birth weight and yearling weight, providing molecular markers for breeding and enhancing economic trait stability.

In this study, researchers found that activating RORA in hair follicle stem cells reduced the expression of cytoskeleton-related genes, affecting cell migration and adhesion, which may aid in understanding hair follicle development and potentially inform alopecia treatments.

This study found that treatment with ivermectin or fluralaner led to complete recovery in 12 of 15 reintroduced red foxes with sarcoptic mange in South Korea, highlighting the importance of ongoing treatment and monitoring.

This study analyzed proteomic changes in Jiangnan cashmere goats' secondary hair follicles and found that the PLIN2 gene significantly impacts hair follicle growth cycles by affecting dermal papilla cell proliferation, offering insights into breeding strategies to enhance cashmere yield.

This study found that activation of RORA significantly promotes the level of autophagy in rat hair follicle stem cells, suggesting a potential target for research on hair follicle development and treatments for conditions like alopecia.

This research found that melatonin has a bidirectional effect on hair follicle stem cell survival, improving it at low doses and inhibiting it at high doses.

In this study, researchers found that RORA directly regulates the expression of the Bnip3 gene, which is crucial for hair follicle stem cell health, using rat HFSCs as a model. They propose that targeting RORA could modulate HFSC status.

This study found that activating autophagy with specific small molecules and drugs can stimulate hair growth by initiating the anagen phase in dormant hair follicles, suggesting a potential treatment for hair loss.

This study found that the Hr gene loss and positive selection for the FGF5 gene in cetaceans likely contributed to hair loss as these animals adapted to aquatic environments.

This review discusses the recent progress in understanding the role of m6A modifications in the development of polycystic ovary syndrome and reports no new clinical findings.

This commentary discusses the cultural and biological significance of hair, intertwined with humorous and poignant anecdotes from cancer care, and reports no new research findings.

The researchers reported that stress-induced keratins in human skin are expressed at lower levels than those in healthy skin and are co-regulated with genes involved in differentiation, inflammation, and immunity, rather than replacing keratins of normal differentiation or indicating cell proliferation.
