In this study, researchers used a reporter mouse model to identify and characterize distinct subtypes of dopaminergic neurons in the gut's enteric nervous system, revealing novel populations with potential implications for understanding their roles and vulnerabilities in disease.

This study suggests that the vitamin D receptor and hairless gene may directly regulate each other via a transcriptional mechanism, potentially explaining phenotypic similarities between atrichia and VDRRIIa rickets.

This editorial reviews the roles and therapeutic potential of inward rectifying K+ channels in various physiological processes, highlighting their importance in health and disease but provides no new experimental results.

This study found that prostaglandin receptors are widely expressed in hair follicles, suggesting a complex network of prostanoid pathways involved in hair growth control.

This study describes a patient with hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets (HVDRR) who, despite having a truncated vitamin D receptor, did not exhibit typical hair or skin abnormalities, suggesting possible compensation via interactions with other proteins.

This review explores recent findings on regulatory T cells, focusing on their unique functions in non-lymphoid tissues and new mechanisms of action, but presents no original clinical results.

This study identified a germline variant in PLCD1 as a major risk allele for familial trichilemmal cysts, requiring a subsequent somatic mutation in the same allele for cyst formation.

This study found that conditional deletion of CD271 in mouse epidermis led to significant disorganization and increased thickness, suggesting CD271's crucial role in regulating skin differentiation and structure.

This study highlights the complex role of the vitamin D receptor in skin processes, where its disruption, along with calcium and co-regulator imbalances, could contribute to skin cancer development by altering skin differentiation and hair follicle cycling.

This study identified a novel G207E STING mutation causing a distinct phenotype involving alopecia, photosensitivity, and thyroid dysfunction, and suggests that common polymorphisms in TMEM173 and IFIH1 may influence disease presentation.

CaBP1 and CaBP2 are necessary for proper hearing and neurotransmission in the ear's inner hair cells.

CaBP1 and CaBP2 are necessary for proper hearing and neurotransmission in the ear's inner hair cells.

This study found that in noise-exposed FVB/NJ mice and cell models, ivacaftor reduced oxidative stress and hearing damage by maintaining CFTR function and increasing Nrf2 expression, suggesting its potential for treating noise-induced hearing loss.

This study found that the retromer protein AtVPS29 in Arabidopsis plants modulates gibberellin signaling by upregulating the SLY1 protein and downregulating the RGA protein, ultimately enhancing the development of the root meristematic zone.

In this study, researchers identified two types of potassium channels, BK and Kv4.2, in rat Merkel cells and reported that these channels play important roles in repolarizing action potentials and maintaining resting membrane potentials, potentially influencing tactile encoding in these cells.

This study found that keratins 5, 7, 8, and 19 are expressed in human trophoblast cells while vimentin is solely expressed in stromal-mesenchymal cells, aiding in placental cell type identification.

In this study, Trf1 genetic deletion in mice, including those with cancer-prone mutations, was shown to not affect overall viability and cause only mild effects, while being necessary for tumor formation, suggesting a potential therapeutic window for Trf1 as an anti-cancer target.

This study found that AR/VDR-targeted agonist hormone therapy can inhibit cell viability in HR2-av triple-negative breast cancer cell lines through multiple mechanisms and may enhance the effects of chemotherapy.

This study identified a high-risk allele in the PLCD1 gene associated with hereditary trichilemmal cyst formation, proposing a monoallelic two-hit mechanism as the underlying genetic pathogenesis.

This study reports that oxytocin receptor expression in keratinocytes shows a potential relationship with touch sensory neurons, suggesting a role in skin sensitivity and the broader function of sensory neurons.

In this study, a novel VDR gene mutation was identified in a child with HVDRR, and the researchers observed that high-dose intravenous calcium therapy led to significant and sustained improvement in rickets symptoms.

This study found that GABA can depolarize murine sensory nerve axons via GABAA receptor activation, with the ß3 subunit being crucial to excitability, and that NKCC1 plays a vital role in mediating this effect.

This study found that certain VDR gene polymorphisms are more prevalent in female pattern hair loss patients than in healthy controls, suggesting these polymorphisms may increase disease risk.

This study reported a case of hereditary vitamin D–resistant rickets caused by a single heterozygous missense mutation in the VDR gene, showing dominant-negative effects and reduced response to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3.

This study found that most potassium channel blockers increased the activity of slowly adapting mechanoreceptors in rat whisker pads, while the opener NS1619 decreased their evoked activity.

This study found that Pannexin 3 plays a crucial role in skin development by regulating the transcription factor Epiprofin, affecting keratinocyte differentiation and hair follicle regeneration in mice.

This study found that RXR-alpha is strongly expressed in both normal and psoriatic human skin, suggesting it may play a role in the transition from proliferation to differentiation in epidermal keratinocytes.

This study found that activating CXCR2 on ras-transformed keratinocytes promotes migration and tumor development in a mouse skin model.

A new test helps find drugs to treat head and neck cancer by targeting c-Rel.

In this exploratory study of trigeminal neuralgia patients undergoing microvascular decompression surgery, differential protein expression in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid was observed between responders and non-responders, suggesting potential biomarkers to predict surgical success and providing insights into the mechanisms of pain relief.
