This study found that anagen stage protein homogenates and specific epitopes from melanogenesis proteins activated CD8 T cells, suggesting alopecia areata is an anagen-specific disease.

This analysis reports that hepatitis B surface protein antigen exposure is associated with an increased risk of alopecia areata.

This study found that among men over 70, certain genetic variants associated with skin pigmentation affect serum PSA levels, with implications for how sun sensitivity and exposure may influence prostate cancer risk.

This study suggests that hemoglobin α expression in the epidermis is induced by oxidative stress and may function as an antioxidant, contributing to skin barrier function.

This study found that certain tandem repeats predict darker hair color across diverse ancestry groups and can contribute to a polygenic score for hair color, independent of SNP variation.

In this study, researchers examined chicken feather follicle tissues from differently colored chickens and found that the genes SLC45A2 and GPNMB are involved in promoting melanin deposition, which enriches understanding of the genetic mechanisms affecting feather color.

This preliminary study of Alopecia Areata identified limited expression of certain metabolic transporters and enzymes in hair follicle immune cells, providing early insight into their unique energy needs.

This study revealed that differential gene and protein expression in the "Yufen I" H line chicken breed is crucial for Columbian plumage coloration, particularly in the melanogenesis pathway.

This study observed that exposure to different wavelengths of light affects opsin and clock gene responses in skin cells, suggesting potential therapeutic approaches using photobiomodulation for dermatological conditions like psoriasis and wound healing.

This review examines the genetic challenges in improving wool and cashmere fibers, emphasizing the need for further research on wool keratins and keratin-associated proteins to enhance fiber characteristics.

This study identified novel genetic associations with skin phenotypes such as age-spots, freckles, and hair characteristics in Japanese women, providing insights into the genetic basis of these traits.

This review discusses the role of melanin synthesis in melanoma, focusing on how melanosomal pH might regulate melanin production, and reports no new results.

This article discusses strategies for changing hair color by regulating target genes in hair follicles using advanced delivery systems, but it reports no new experimental findings.

In this study of four Chinese goat breeds, black goats exhibited significantly higher melanin content, while Inner Mongolian cashmere goats had longer fiber lengths. These findings highlight genetic variations in coat color and fiber length, informing future breeding programs.

This paper provides a comprehensive review of melanocytes' roles in skin biology, focusing on their pigmentation and immune functions, and suggests potential research opportunities for preventing and treating skin disorders.

This study investigated the genetic basis of coat color variation in cattle using skin transcriptome and whole-genome analyses, identifying the ASIP gene as a significant determinant that is differentially expressed and under strong positive selection in black and brown cattle breeds.

In this study, feeding H-line chickens a diet with 1.0% tyrosine for 40 days significantly increased melanin deposition in feathers and revealed changes in gene expression related to melanin pathways, suggesting tyrosine's involvement in regulating feather color through the EDNRB2 regulatory network.

This study suggests that mammalian hair follicles may serve as a viable and non-invasive system for diagnosing traumatic brain injury, reflecting similar molecular responses observed in other tissues.

This study found that vimentin is essential for proper wound healing and cell growth by influencing EMT signaling and mTOR activity in mice.

In this study, a clear pattern of selective sweep was observed for the SLC24A5 gene, with high linkage disequilibrium and low haplotype diversity, but no clear correlation with UV radiation intensity was found.

In this study, researchers identified 18 genetic associations with scalp and facial hair traits in Latin Americans, including novel loci for hair greying and balding, with implications for understanding hair evolution.

This study identified the location of the genetic locus for the slick hair coat trait in cattle on bovine chromosome 20, which may contribute to heat tolerance.

This study found that serum calcium, serum ferritin, and vitamin D3 levels were lower in students with premature graying of hair compared to controls, suggesting a potential role in the condition.

This review discusses genome-wide association studies in dermatology, noting that variants linked to risk for 10 skin complex diseases have been identified, with potential implications for diagnostics and management; it reports no new clinical results.

This article discusses the use of forensic DNA phenotyping to infer physical characteristics from biological samples without a reference sample, aiding investigations but raising ethical and legal concerns.

This systematic review and meta-analysis found 30 genetic loci associated with skin ageing phenotypes, noting shared biological pathways in aspects like pigmentation and wrinkling; researchers suggest further studies targeting the same SNP across populations could clarify these associations.

This study explored the spatial variation of THFD in cashmere goats and identified four genes associated with it, offering insights that could aid in the development of THFD genes for these animals.
