This study found that both genetic and epigenetic factors significantly influence age-related facial skin aging, with lifestyle and environmental factors also playing a substantial role.

This research observed that, in domestic cats like Maine Coon and Rex breeds, a "piebald" coat color pattern is likely influenced by the Silver locus, although the specific mutations involved are yet to be published.

This study found that neonatal Regulatory T cells are crucial for maintaining PPARγ signaling in hair follicles, which supports melanocyte stem cell function and skin pigmentation during early postnatal development.

This study discovered that the gene Tfap2b identifies a melanocyte stem cell population in zebrafish, essential for regenerating melanocytes with multi-fate potential into adult pigment cells.

This research found that androgen bioactivity plays a role in normal female sexual differentiation, suggesting females develop within a significant androgenic environment, with implications for understanding conditions like congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

This review highlights how the development of forensic DNA phenotyping systems like IrisPlex, HIrisPlex, and HIrisPlex-S has advanced criminal investigation by accurately predicting physical traits such as eye, hair, and skin color from DNA, thereby improving the precision and relevance of forensic applications.

This study found multipotent progenitors in sweat ducts that become unipotent after sweat gland development, highlighting distinct regenerative capabilities in adult glandular skin stem cell populations.

This study identified four new genetic loci associated with acne risk and highlighted key pathways involved in its genetic predisposition, potentially explaining 9.4% of acne's phenotypic variance.

In this study, researchers identified novel long non-coding RNAs related to cashmere fineness in goats, highlighting a potential regulatory network involving lncRNA XLOC_008679 and its target gene KRT35.

This study identified 374 eQTLs in scalp hair follicles associated with genes involved in metabolic, mitotic, immune processes, and responses to steroid hormones, contributing insights into genetic variation and hair traits.

The researchers observed that in cichlid fishes with different dental structures, tooth replacement accelerated more than three times following tooth extraction, alongside distinct changes in gene expression and cellular interactions over one week, providing insights into tooth regeneration mechanisms in vertebrates.

This study found that new methods for isolating human dermal papilla cells were more efficient than traditional methods, maintaining higher levels of specific markers and improving the cells' research potential.

This study found that inhibiting the Mitochondrial Pyruvate Carrier in human scalp hair follicles caused metabolic stress that halted cell proliferation and disrupted key signaling pathways, with these effects partially reversed by an integrated stress response inhibitor.

This study reported that high cholesterol levels were linked to increased prostate cancer risk, while selenium supplementation affected gene expression, suggesting nutritional and clinical factors might influence prostate cancer risk and biology.

In this study, human dermal papilla cells exposed to wasabi leaf extract showed changes in cytokine-related gene expression, which the authors suggest could help clarify the biological effects of wasabi.

This study found that differentially expressed genes in horses with white versus black coats may regulate coat color, providing insights into the genetics of skin melanin synthesis.

This study identified multiple genetic variants in Pakistani families with oculocutaneous albinism, including two novel variants, enhancing understanding of its genetic basis and aiding better management and counseling.

This study explored the expression and potential functions of long non-coding RNAs in the skin pigmentation of Koi carp, revealing their involvement in pigmentation and differentiation mechanisms.

This study used single-cell techniques and lineage tracing to reveal that integrin α6 expression in neural crest cells can differentiate them into Schwann cells, melanocytes, and fibroblasts in skin, identifying integrin α6 as a potential marker for these derivatives.

This review discusses the role of zebrafish as a model for studying human hereditary pigmentary disorders and reports no new experimental results, emphasizing their genetic similarities and the genetic tools available.

This study found that female Holdobaggy goslings have higher melanin content in their dorsal plumage than males, suggesting that initial plumage color can be used for sex identification.

This study reveals that long non-coding RNAs influence cashmere fiber traits in goats by interacting with target genes involved in pathways affecting fiber diameter and color.

This review found that while forensic DNA phenotyping and health applications for pigmentation genetics show potential, factors like phenotype definition and population diversity present challenges to accurate genotype-to-appearance predictions.

This study found a significant overlap between gene expression signatures of alopecia areata and certain chronic inflammatory skin disorders, suggesting shared biological processes may drive their co-occurrence and providing a foundation for future research into distinct comorbid subtypes.

This study examined the factors contributing to gray hair, such as genetics and lifestyle, and found that while graying correlates with some health conditions, it is primarily a physiological process rather than a pathological one.

This review explored the causes of hair graying and evaluated how plant-derived extracts and phytochemicals might alleviate it, noting that certain compounds showed potential in enhancing melanocyte function, reducing oxidative stress, and influencing stress-related pathways based on experimental evidence.

This review discusses the roles of metabolism, reactive oxygen species, intracellular pH, and cell morphology in influencing cell fate decisions during stem cell differentiation but reports no new experimental results.
