This case report identified two new SLC39A4 mutations in twin patients with acrodermatitis enteropathica, suggesting that different mutations in this gene may lead to varying clinical manifestations of the disorder.

This study observed that PAI-2 is consistently expressed in differentiating cells of murine hair and nail, suggesting it may function as a marker of differentiation and possibly protect against premature cell death.

In this study, two unrelated Honduran patients with Sjögren-Larsson syndrome had the same genetic mutation but displayed different disease severities, suggesting that factors beyond the ALDH3A2 mutation influence clinical outcome.

This study concludes that SPARC is likely a secondary response during the hair cycle's transitional phases, indicating tissue-remodeling processes similar to those in wound repair, rather than initiating these transitions.

This study found that STRIP1 and the STRIPAK complex play a key role in regulating F-actin and cell-cell junctions, which are essential for maintaining the epidermal barrier in mouse skin.

This study found that elevated TSPEAR expression in colorectal cancer was associated with poor overall prognosis and correlated with tumor infiltrating immune cells, suggesting its potential as a predictive biomarker.

The Trichodysplasia spinulosa virus protein can cause abnormal hair growth in mice.

The researchers reported that the facial Psoriasis Log-based Area and Severity Index (fPLASI) more reliably and sensitively captured clinical improvement in facial psoriasis than the existing facial Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (fPASI).

This study found that the transcription factor GLABRA 2 inhibits ethylene production, regulating root hair growth in Arabidopsis under nutrient deficiency conditions.

This review discusses pyrene excimer nucleic acid probes for detecting biomolecules and protein-DNA interactions and reports no new experimental findings.

This study found that specific SNPs in the CXCL1 and CXCL2 genes may be associated with increased susceptibility to alopecia areata in the Korean population.

This study developed BroadAMP-GPT, a computational-experimental framework, to discover new antimicrobial peptides, identifying candidates effective against multidrug-resistant pathogens. Notably, AMP_S13 showed strong stability, low toxicity, and efficacy in infection models, highlighting the platform's potential in combating antimicrobial resistance.

This study found that double transgenic Arabidopsis plants overexpressing both AVP1 and AtNHX1 showed improved salt tolerance and enhanced root hair and hypocotyl growth compared to single transgenic lines.

This study found that different stabilizing mutations in Aux/IAA proteins affect root hair development in Arabidopsis by disrupting the auxin response and suggest a model where the relative abundance of these proteins determines root hair initiation.

The researchers identified a pathogenic variant in the SRD5A2 gene among siblings with 46,XY disorder of sexual development, highlighting the importance of comprehensive genetic testing in diagnosis and management.

This study found that the HS III element in the K14 gene's regulatory sequence promotes gene expression in inner root sheath keratinocytes, highlighting cooperative interactions in keratinocyte-specific gene regulation.

Mutations in the TSPEAR gene cause a new form of ectodermal dysplasia affecting hair and tooth development.

This study concluded that allele-specific PCR (AS-PCR) is more reliable than tetra-primer ARMS-PCR for genotyping the SNP rs1998076 due to better stability and interpretability.

This study found that inhibiting arachidonate 12-lipoxygenase (ALOX12) may enhance hair cuticle maturation by increasing S100A3 protein citrullination and promoting cuticular differentiation in isolated human hair follicles.

This study found that the serine protease BSSP is strongly expressed in mouse skin during carcinogenesis and is upregulated independently of c-Fos and unaffected by glucocorticoids.

This study found that SMAD2 overexpression in human hair follicle stem cells promoted differentiation and apoptosis while inhibiting proliferation, and Smurf2 upregulation limited mouse wound healing by suppressing the SMAD2/NANOG/DNMT1 axis.

This study using scRNA-seq on 96 skin biopsies from 51 healthy individuals revealed distinct cell signaling pathways in different skin sites, including unique pathways in facial and palmoplantar skin, which may explain their varying susceptibilities to skin disorders.

This study found that homozygous mutant mice with a hypomorphic CD18 mutation developed a chronic inflammatory skin disease resembling human psoriasis, potentially implicating additional genetic factors in disease susceptibility.

This study found that using particle-based antigen delivery in combination with cyanoacrylate skin surface stripping is an effective needle-free method for targeting HIV-1 p24 protein to skin cells, enhancing transcutaneous vaccination potential.

The enzyme PA-PLA1α is important for proper hair follicle development.

This study reported significant upregulation and release of S100A4 in psoriatic skin, which may actively contribute to psoriasis pathogenesis.

This study reports that mutations in human L-PGDS affect the entrance and exit of ligands in its binding cavity, suggesting these residues play a role in ligand interaction processes.

This study found that using copper-doped mesoporous silica nanoparticles to deliver IL-1Ra and copper ions effectively reduced arterial stenosis, plaque burden, and macrophage infiltration in atherosclerosis, by promoting macrophage apoptosis and providing anti-inflammatory effects.
