This study found that VPS13C variants are significantly enriched in patients with idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD), associating these variants with more severe symptoms, autonomic dysfunction, and faster progression from iRBD to overt α-synucleinopathy in the iRBD-first disease subtype.

This study found that 62 plasma proteins are significantly associated with the risk of obstructive sleep apnea, offering potential targets for new therapeutic strategies.

This study found that mutations in certain keratin genes significantly affect wool traits in Chinese Merino sheep, suggesting these genes could be important for sheep breeding to improve wool quality.

This study used single-cell RNA sequencing to map the cellular composition of sheep hair follicles, revealing differentiation pathways and potential molecular mechanisms for wool curvature, which may inform sheep breeding.

This study found that specific SNPs in the sheep FAT1 gene are significantly associated with wool quality traits, suggesting potential markers for improving wool crimp, fibre length, and fibre diameter in breeding.

This study suggests that TGF-alpha may function in an autocrine or juxtacrine manner rather than promoting cell proliferation during hair growth cycles in ferrets and sheep.

This study found that specific genetic variants of the KAP22-1 gene in Egyptian sheep breeds were significantly associated with wool traits like crimp, staple length, kemp score, and greasy color grade, suggesting their potential use in breeding programs.

This study found that cashmere has a significantly smaller mean fiber diameter compared to sheep and goat wool, and identified key proteins that may influence this difference.

This study found that miR-23b and miR-133 significantly reduce mRNA and protein levels of specific target genes involved in Merino sheep hair follicle development, providing insight into molecular breeding for fine wool production.

This study observed that feeding ewes a water-soluble complex of fatty acids increased primary hair follicle bulb diameter and mitotic activity, suggesting a positive correlation with wool growth.

This study mapped copy number variations in Chinese fine-wool sheep, identifying regions linked to important traits like milk production and growth, and highlighting a strong selection signal at the RXFP2 gene.

This study constructed a genomic map of copy number variations in fine-wool sheep, revealing their potential impact on traits like growth, nutrient metabolism, and susceptibility to selection pressures.

This study found that maternal sub-maintenance nutrition reduced the density and branching ratio of secondary wool follicles in Merino sheep fetuses and identified genes potentially involved in these processes.

In this study, whole-genome sequencing of Lanping black-boned sheep identified ERBB4 and ROR1 genes as potentially important in their distinctive hyperpigmentation, enhancing understanding of their genetic evolution from Lanping normal sheep.

In this study, finasteride was found not to be associated with changes in sleep spindle activity or morphology in men undergoing sleep studies.

In this study, researchers used single-cell RNA sequencing to map the hair follicle microenvironment in fine-wool sheep, identifying specific cell types and gene expressions that influence wool fiber diameter, with dermal papilla cells playing a significant role in hair follicle development.

This review summarizes the application of genome wide association studies and selection signature analyses in sheep and goat breeding in China, highlighting genomic regions that influence traits like reproductive performance and body size.

In this study, biotin supplementation was found to significantly increase wool follicle viability and metabolic activity in vitro, with the highest effects observed at 0.5 mg L⁻¹ concentration.

This study found that two microRNAs, oar-miR-23b and oar-miR-133, inhibit the development of hair follicles in superfine wool sheep by targeting genes involved in key signaling pathways, suggesting their potential use as molecular markers for breeding fine wool sheep.

Pumpkin seeds may help expel parasites, but findings are retracted.

Finasteride use in young people may increase risk of suicidal thoughts and mental health issues.

This study found that iron metabolism, particularly serum iron and ferritin, was significantly linked to the severity of obstructive sleep apnea in individuals with androgenetic alopecia, with stronger associations observed in women.

Minoxidil helps some bald men, but most lose hair again when stopping.

This review examines menopause's endocrinology, treatment history, and associated changes, noting key issues for midwife management but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that frequent consumption of sweetened tea drinks is linked to an increased risk of female androgenetic alopecia, with the risk further heightened by late bedtimes, but sleep behavior rather than sugar intake mediates the association.

This review reports that nutritional and lifestyle factors, such as micronutrient deficiencies and stress, play a significant role in hair health and loss, but emphasizes that evidence for interventions remains limited and more research is needed to establish clear clinical guidelines.

This study reported significant improvements in female pattern hair loss through a combination therapy involving spironolactone, minoxidil, and an injectable treatment over 6 to 12 months, with 95-96% patient satisfaction and minimal complications such as slight pain and hair growth in undesirable areas.

This study found that shift nurses exhibited lower circadian variations compared to daytime nurses, indicating an adjustment of their biological clocks to continuous shift schedules.

This study reports that melanocytes form a defined photoresponsive network in the skin that reads environmental light cycles and may influence the sleep-waking cycle similar to the pineal gland.

In this study, researchers observed that the combination of hair progenitors and their micro-niche changes every three days in mouse zigzag hair, and disruptions in specific genes affected this rhythm, highlighting the importance of this periodic change for normal hair morphology.
