This study identified genetic variations in the DSG4 gene among sheep, revealing valuable markers for assessing their impact on wool traits.

This review explores the role of the TMPRSS2 gene in facilitating SARS-CoV-2 infection and its potential as a therapeutic target in COVID-19 and other respiratory infections, highlighting challenges in developing selective inhibitors.

This study identified a genetic variant in the CTS6 gene associated with a hypotrichosis syndrome, emphasizing the significant role of cystatin M/E in hair and skin health.

In this study, researchers identified that upon tissue injury in a mouse model, epidermal cells at the wound edge convert to an embryonic-like state with SOX11 and SOX4 playing a central role in modulating epidermal development and cell migration genes.

This study identified a mutation in the steroid-binding domain of the androgen receptor gene associated with complete androgen insensitivity syndrome, impairing male sexual development due to altered androgen receptor protein function.

In this study, the researchers developed a quantum algorithm, QuantAnts machines, which identified complexes of CD9, CD34, and CD74 as potential targets for certain cancers involving the RAS pathway.

This study reports that the acidic and basic keratin gene clusters in dogs are located on chromosomes CFA9 and CFA27, respectively, similar to genetic arrangements in humans and mice.

This study found that Arc/Arg3.1 expression in hippocampal neurons is regulated by sex steroids in a sex-dependent manner, with E2 increasing expression in females and DHT in males.

This study identified four ferroptosis-related genes, SLC40A1, LCN2, CREB5, and SLC7A11, as potential diagnostic markers for alopecia areata, revealing reduced expression in affected patients compared to controls, with a predictive model showing high accuracy in differentiating the condition.

This correspondence comments on a 2023 study by Nagaoka et al. regarding the maternal–fetal safety of an aqueous extract of Casearia sylvestris leaves in rats, but it does not provide new results or data.

This study details the isolation and characterization of the human type II 5 alpha-reductase gene, which may play a role in male pseudohermaphroditism, prostate cancer, and benign prostatic hyperplasia.

This study reports that structural and biochemical analysis of steroid 5α-reductases clarifies how they mediate steroid reduction with NADPH, potentially aiding in designing targeted therapies.

This study investigated a Labrador Retriever with paw pad hyperkeratosis and identified a unique de novo heterozygous missense variant in the GJB6 gene, suggesting its potential role in the condition, analogous to Clouston syndrome in humans, although differences between species may provide further insights.

In this study, PKCepsilon transgenic mice showed increased TNFalpha shedding during skin tumor promotion, which may contribute to the development of metastatic squamous cell carcinoma.

This study found that compound 2g inhibits steroid sulfatase effectively without exhibiting estrogenic activity, making it a promising candidate for breast cancer treatment.

This study found that Prss53-mutated rabbits exhibited curved hair and skeletal dyskinesia, suggesting a link between Prss53 loss and these traits, potentially involving disrupted calcium metabolism.

This review discusses the origins of skin and esophageal cancers and reports no clinical results; it emphasizes the role of cyclooxygenase-2 in tumorigenesis and differentiation.

This study found that RXR and RAR proteins were detectable in normal human skin, suggesting they may play a role in epidermal cell differentiation and hair and gland physiology.

In this study, researchers found that a PER3 gene SNP may be pathogenic for a new subtype of dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria, especially when combined with a SASH1 mutation.

This study found that C57BL/6 mice and Sprague–Dawley rats show distinct distributions of eccrine sweat glands and hair follicles in their volar skin, suggesting these models should be selected according to research focus on skin appendages.

This study suggests that Cepharanthine, a monomer in traditional Chinese medicine, may help treat COVID-19 by affecting multiple signaling pathways, and that TNF and IL-17 inhibitors used in rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and gouty arthritis might also be beneficial.

This study found that CRABP1, Nestin, and Ephrin B2 are expressed in both the tumor stroma and invasive front of skin adnexal tumors and basal cell carcinomas.

This review discusses how increased gene copy number for telomerase components may contribute to telomerase up-regulation in cancer cells, although the exact mechanisms are not fully understood.

Repetin is a protein involved in skin and hair development, binding calcium and compensating for other proteins when needed.

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 FSHR Ser680Asn (rs6166) gene polymorphism is associated with an increased risk of PCOS in the examined population and could serve as a molecular biomarker for identifying risk.

This study reports that in ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma, overexpressed S100A4 likely promotes epithelial-mesenchymal transition and cancer stem cell properties, affecting tumor behavior through its interaction with NMIIA and mutant p53.

This study found that overexpression of OsPHR2 in rice leads to increased phosphate accumulation and root architecture changes even under phosphate-sufficient conditions.
