This study found that transgenic mice with keratinocyte-specific overexpression of CtBP1 exhibited abnormal hair follicle development, suggesting CtBP1 may play a pathogenic role in hair morphogenesis.

This study reports a novel homozygous mutation in the DST gene causing a unique form of epidermolysis bullosa simplex with prurigo papules in a 39-year-old Syrian man.

This study in mutant mice found that Bmpr2 and Acvr2a are individually redundant, but together essential for normal hair follicle development, with their reduction causing rapid hair cycling and graying.

This study identified a missense mutation in the keratin 71 gene as the cause of autosomal dominant woolly hair/hypotrichosis in a Japanese family, marking the first human mutation in KRT71 linked to a hair disorder.

This study in mice suggests that defects in hair follicles with mesenchymal TSC2 disruption may result from an impaired TGFβ1 response, indicating a potential novel treatment approach for tuberous sclerosis complex.

This review highlights LTBP1 as a critical integrator in disease processes, showing its dual role in cancer progression and suppression, its pathological influence in fibrosis, and its contribution to various disorders, suggesting its potential as a biomarker and therapeutic target.

This study observed that different alkaline buffers had a significant impact on the volume of liquid consumed by fall armyworm larvae, emphasizing the importance of measuring imbibed volumes to reduce dose errors in bioassays.

In this study, specific genetic polymorphisms in the KRT71 gene were associated with hairless and curly phenotypes in Sphynx and Devon Rex cats.

This study found that a mutation causing Stormorken syndrome in mice led to skeletal abnormalities and unusual hair growth, showcasing the STIM1 R304W protein’s role in bone development and cell fate.

This study found significant variation in tissue mutant load in individuals with the T8993G mutation, which complicates genetic counseling and may inform genotype-phenotype correlations, especially using hair bulb mtDNA analysis.

This study found that transgenic mice overexpressing human ATF3 showed hyperplastic and dysplastic changes in epithelial tissues, with a high incidence of oral cancer, suggesting potential oncogenic properties of ATF3.

The AR gene is linked to male-pattern baldness, TNFSF4 to heart disease, SLC19A3 to BBGD, MCT8 to a syndrome, and segmental duplications to genetic variation.

This review synthesizes knowledge on HTRA1-associated disorders, highlighting how mutations in the HTRA1 gene are linked to cerebral small vessel disease and systemic conditions, and discusses emerging diagnostic and therapeutic strategies aimed at precision medicine.

This study suggests that NBCCS and BFHS may be the same genetic condition, which could help improve identification and management of misdiagnosed cases with specific surveillance strategies.

This article reviews the genetic mutations associated with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia and reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight the roles of EDA gene isoforms and related receptors.

This study found that loss of the DNA methyltransferase Dnmt3a, but not Dnmt3b, increased carcinogen-induced squamous tumors in murine epidermis, with combined deletion leading to more aggressive and metastatic carcinomas.

In this study of Danioninae species, researchers reported that the presence of breeding tubercles on the pectoral fins is conserved in certain species and linked to local androgen conversion, with steroid 5-α-reductase playing a crucial role in their development.

This study observed that Ptprq mutant mice exhibit significant abnormalities in hair bundle structure and vestibular dysfunction, suggesting similar issues may contribute to hearing loss and vestibular problems in humans with PTPRQ mutations.

This case report describes two patients with trichothiodystrophy who exhibited a different pattern of hair protein composition changes, suggesting a subgroup of TTD characterized by partial loss of high-sulfur proteins without significant alteration in their amino acid composition.

This study identified a novel genetic mutation, c.429delC in the hairless gene, associated with atrichia with papular lesions in two Pakistani families.

In this study, researchers identified a specific T cell receptor associated with carbamazepine-induced severe cutaneous adverse reactions, demonstrating its potential for therapeutic development in patients with the HLA-B*15:02 genotype.

This study suggests that BTP levels in cerebrospinal fluid might help diagnose CIDP and predict therapy response but require validation in larger cohorts.

A mutation in the KRT25 gene causes a rare hair disorder with thin, woolly hair.

This study discovered that a specific G to C mutation in the ornithine aminotransferase gene is linked to the retarded hair growth phenotype in mice and may serve as a model for human gyrate atrophy.

This review discusses the regulation of the MiT-TFE family transcription factors, particularly TFEB, through phosphorylation-mediated subcellular localization and reports no new clinical results.

This case report describes a 15-year-old girl with features of Becker naevus syndrome, highlighting the importance of DNA analysis from skin to confirm the diagnosis after 9 years of symptoms.

In this study, researchers linked defects in U2HR, an inhibitory region in the HR gene, to Marie Unna hereditary hypotrichosis, suggesting a mechanism for controlling hair growth and addressing hair loss.

This report documents a 14-year-old Chinese boy with mitochondrial encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, stroke-like episodes, and a de novo A3243G mitochondrial DNA mutation, highlighting the condition's multisystem involvement without ragged red fibers in muscle biopsy.

This study reported that a modified version of Thymosin beta 4, called PEG-rTβ4, demonstrated potential as a treatment for acute myocardial infarction by improving cardiac function and reducing cell death via specific biochemical pathways, suggesting its promise in drug development efforts.

This study builds on previous findings by associating female pattern hair loss with gene polymorphisms related to oestrogen activity, suggesting oestrogen's role in the condition.
