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.

This study identified dynamic changes in DNA methylation associated with different growth stages in Tan sheep, which may offer insights to retain their valuable curly fleece as they age.

In this study, specific SNPs in the FST gene were significantly associated with various wool quality traits in Chinese Merino sheep, suggesting potential markers for breeding programs.

This review discusses the evolutionary history of keratins and reports no new results, highlighting key events that contributed to the development of mammalian hair and integument.

Lustre mutant sheep have normal hair structure and proteins but differ in felting properties.

This review discusses the development of human skin with a focus on desmosomes, noting the challenges of translating animal model findings to humans due to species differences and limited human sample access.

This study suggests that distinct chromatin topologies allow different lineage-specific enhancers to regulate Hoxd genes in mouse vibrissae and chicken feather primordia, while conserved regulatory elements maintain transcriptional robustness in the embryonic trunk across species.

This study found that specific genetic variants in the CYP21A2 and CYP19A1 genes were associated with severe acne vulgaris among Han Chinese, particularly in male patients.

This study reported that IGF2BP2 rs1470579 and IGFBP3 rs2854744 may increase the risk of polycystic ovary syndrome in a Southeastern Iranian population.

This study identified eight mutations in five genes associated with different aspects of ichthyosis among Tunisian patients, enhancing understanding of its genetic and clinical diversity.

This study found that the structure and mineral content of dromedary camel hair, specifically the medulla patterns, medulla index, and elemental composition, change with age, revealing differences among camels aged 1 year, 3-5 years, and 8-10 years.

In this study, researchers propose that different vertebrate skin appendages, such as hair, feathers, and scales, evolved in parallel from a shared ancestral cell structure associated with teeth, dating back approximately 420 million years ago.

This study found that the unique crest feather formation in Polish chickens is driven by a 195-bp duplication in the HoxC10 gene region, which alters gene expression by modifying the genomic structure, suggesting a mechanism for diverse integumentary appendages in birds.

This study found that root hair length and density in rice are controlled by distinct genomic regions, with 18 regions identified but no overlap between the traits.

This study observed that girls in rural Bangladesh experienced pubertal milestones later than in some other populations, but progressed through puberty at a similar pace from breast development to menarche.

This paper summarizes the foundation and proceedings of the first International Congress of SAARCUM, which addressed the growing issue of antifungal therapy failures in South Asia but reports no new research findings.

RAGE is a potential target for melanoma treatment, but its effectiveness is uncertain due to variable expression levels.

This review presents evidence supporting acupuncture's potential benefits for AA treatment but notes the findings are limited by low-quality evidence and small sample sizes, suggesting a need for future large-scale, rigorous studies.

This study examines the genetic underpinnings of chronic dermatological conditions like acne, androgenetic alopecia, and alopecia areata, concluding that a deep understanding of these mechanisms can advance patient-specific treatments and inform cosmetic practices related to skin and hair health.

This study explored the effectiveness of injectable treatments for androgenetic alopecia, finding that dutasteride and growth factor formulations achieved clinically significant results compared to controls like saline and topical minoxidil, within selected trials from 2000 to 2023.

In this study on Angora rabbits, researchers identified genetic factors influencing wool fiber diameter by analyzing hair follicle proteins, highlighting keratin family members and other proteins as key contributors to fiber differences between coarse and fine wool.

This book chapter reviews the genetic and epigenetic factors influencing PCOS, particularly in a global context and specific to India, and reports no new clinical findings.

This study used single-cell RNA sequencing to characterize 19 distinct cell populations in sheep hair follicles, uncovering differentiation signatures and intercellular communication that may influence wool curvature and sheep breeding.

This article reviews the history of Portuguese and Spanish derivational suffixes and provides no new empirical findings, discussing various scholarly works and contributions on the subject.

This review discusses the potential carcinogenic effects of anabolic androgenic steroids, particularly regarding Leydig cell tumors, and highlights the need for preventive information campaigns due to associated health risks.

New mutations in hair keratin genes can change hair structure and cause monilethrix, with nail issues more common in certain gene mutations.

This study found that while genetic variants contribute minimally to predicting hair greying in a Polish population, age remains the primary predictor, underscoring the complexity of hair greying as a genetic trait.

This study characterized the mouse profilaggrin gene, finding it structurally identical to its human counterpart, and noted differences in protein-coding regions that could impact epidermal differentiation.

This study found that the dual-wavelength non-ablative fractional laser provides enhanced skin rejuvenation by increasing thermal lesion coverage and collagen remodeling compared to using the CO2 laser alone in an ex vivo setting.

In this study, two unrelated Honduran patients with Sjögren-Larsson syndrome had the same genetic mutation but displayed different disease severities, suggesting that factors beyond the ALDH3A2 mutation influence clinical outcome.
