This article argues that polysomnographic studies recommended for factitious leg ulcers in patients may be based on faulty assumptions about causality related to unusual sleep disorders.

This study found that among female patients, those who consumed sweetened tea drinks more frequently had a higher risk of androgenetic alopecia, with the impact notably mediated by late bedtimes rather than by sugar intake from these drinks.

This study found that consuming sweetened tea drinks is associated with an increased risk of female androgenetic alopecia, and this relationship is influenced by bedtime habits rather than sugar intake from soft drinks.

This study found that frequent consumption of sweetened tea drinks is linked to a higher risk of female androgenetic alopecia, and this relationship is mediated by late bedtimes but not daily sugar intake.

This personal narrative recounts Sreeparna Majumder's journey through a challenging battle with thymic carcinoma and other health issues while maintaining her engineering studies and later pursuing an MBA, highlighting her resilience and the unwavering support from her family and friends.

This review explains the genetic diversity of sheep wool keratin-associated protein genes and explores how this variation might be leveraged for selective breeding to enhance wool fiber traits.

This study suggests that changes in expressed transcripts and splice isoforms may explain the transition from curly to straight fleece in Chinese Tan sheep as they age.

This study generated FGF5-knockout Dorper sheep using the CRISPR/Cas9 system, resulting in significantly increased fine-wool and active hair-follicle density, and explored downstream signaling pathways for potential applications in androgen alopecia treatment.

This study identified genomic regions and genes associated with wool, live weight, body condition, and reproduction traits in Uruguayan Merino sheep, highlighting potential genetic factors influencing these characteristics.

This study identified distinct gene expression patterns in wool follicle bulbs that may play important roles in wool follicle cycling and regeneration in sheep.

This study found that Super Merino sheep have a higher wool follicle density, finer fleece, and distinct gene expression compared to Small Tail Han sheep, which may inform future breeding and genetic interventions.

This study found that the promoter region of the sheep KRTAP11-1 gene drives specific transcriptional activity in wool follicles, suggesting it may regulate hair keratinocyte specificity.

This study examined the Spanish Merino breed's wool quality, identifying 74 genetic variants linked to key wool traits like fiber diameter and staple length, which could help restore the breed's potential for producing high-quality wool.

This study identified genetic variations associated with black and white wool color in Gangba sheep, enhancing understanding of wool color genetics and aiding selective breeding for specific wool colors in Tibetan sheep.

This study found that Hetian sheep with higher wool density produce more and finer wool, with key genes potentially influencing their wool growth and density.

This study in Basra province sheep reported that zinc and copper deficiencies were linked to various clinical signs and affected oxidative stress and antioxidant levels.

This study found that both types of sheep hair follicle transglutaminases were calcium-dependent, contradicting earlier reports of calcium independence in this enzyme.

In this study, 467 genes with differential expression between fine-wool and coarse-wool sheep, particularly those related to lipid metabolism, were identified as potentially influencing wool fibre diameter.

This study found that miR-370-3p targets SMAD4 to inhibit cell proliferation, promote apoptosis, and affect the cell cycle in follicular papilla cells, demonstrating differences in their expression in sheep tissues, which may impact hair follicle development.

In this study on Chinese Tan sheep, researchers discovered a variant of the KRTAP19-5 gene associated with decreased curvature of fine wool fibres, highlighting potential genetic markers for improving wool quality.

In this study, researchers found that reducing FGF20 expression in dermal papilla cells of fine-wool sheep impedes the growth and differentiation of hair follicle stem cells, providing insights into wool trait improvement and regenerative medicine applications.

In this proteomic analysis, the researchers found that transitioning from crimped to straight wool in Tan sheep is linked to significant changes in wool protein expression, revealing distinct patterns of keratins and keratin-associated proteins that could influence wool quality and economic value.

This study investigated the interdigital glands in sheep, highlighting their apocrine sweat glands' ultrastructural characteristics and positive lectin reaction, but reported no new clinical results.

This study found that Bakhtiari sheep hair fibers and follicles became larger and more organized with age across all skin regions, with no significant differences by sex.

This study evaluated genetic diversity and morphological trait-associated genes in 897 animals from 14 African sheep breeds, finding the lowest genomic heterozygosity in Zulu sheep and the highest in Merino, with genetic analysis revealing associations between specific morphological traits and certain genes.

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

This study examined genetic adaptations in Tibetan sheep through whole-genome resequencing, identifying key genes related to hypoxia tolerance, wool color, and body size. These findings provide a foundation for future molecular breeding strategies to enhance wool quality and adaptive traits in these high-altitude environments.

In this study, nucleotide sequence variation in the KRTAP13-3 gene was associated with changes in heterotypic hair fibre diameter variation in Chinese Tan sheep.
