This study reported intra-familial transmission of Arthroderma benhamiae among Canadian porcupines in a Japanese zoo, with genetic sequences previously undocumented in Japan or the GenBank database.

This study found that a newly identified gene, mK17n, may explain the lack of nail issues in mK17 null mice by compensating for mK17's function in the nail bed.

This study found that intracrine androgen signaling via 5α-reductase is essential for optimal endometrial decidualization and vascular development during this process in mice.

In this study involving genetically modified rats, researchers observed that specific mutations in the vitamin D receptor affect calcium levels and bone formation, emphasizing the receptor's role in maintaining healthy bone density and its importance in regulating hair cycle and skin health.

This study found that skin microbiota, particularly in wild-type mice, promotes wound-induced hair follicle neogenesis and wound healing, highlighting the potential downsides of routine antibiotic use on skin regeneration.

This study found that greater root surface area due to root hairs contributed to better growth and zinc uptake of wild-type barley compared to its root-hairless mutant in zinc-deficient soil.

This study found that finasteride decreased DHT-stimulated AR activity and cell growth in prostate cancer cells with mutant AR, but not in those with wild type AR.

This study found that overweight women with polycystic ovary syndrome carrying the HSD3B1 1245C allele had an increased presence of female pattern hair loss compared to those with the wild-type genotype.

This study developed a new method to analyze Cantú syndrome mutations in KATP channels, finding that while Kir6.1 mutations increase sensitivity to potassium channel openers, SUR2B mutations show reduced sensitivity, but both result in marked hyperpolarization compared to wild-type channels under basal conditions.

This study found that root hairs of wild-type Arabidopsis grow faster and longer under low potassium stress, with changes in actin filament dynamics and specific regulation by the actin bundling proteins VLN1 and VLN4.

This study identified a primitive coarse wool characteristic in Merino sheep that enhances environmental adaptability and fine wool yield without reducing quality, suggesting that epigenetic mechanisms, particularly involving the imprinted Gtl2-miRNAs locus, regulate this advantageous trait.

In this study, researchers found that loss of OGG1 in a mouse model of systemic lupus erythematosus increased IFN-driven immune responses and aggravated skin lesions, suggesting a protective role for OGG1 in SLE skin disease.

This study found that deleting podoplanin in mouse keratinocytes promoted hair follicle growth during regeneration, suggesting it may regulate hair cycling pathways that could aid in treating hair loss conditions.

This study found that chemically induced skin tumors in mice predominantly originated from Lgr6 + and/or Lrig1 + stem cells of the upper hair follicle rather than from other stem cell populations.

This study developed new immortalized keratinocyte cell lines lacking COL7A1 using CRISPR/Cas9 technology, providing a valuable model to explore the biology and treatment options for recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa.

This study characterized the Hoxc-13 gene from sheep wool follicles, noting its potential autoregulatory role and potential influence on skin function beyond hair keratin regulation.

This study identified that in pig embryos, the miR-29a-5p/EDAR/lncRNA627.1 ceRNA complex plays a critical role in inhibiting hair placode precursor cells proliferation and regulating hair placode formation through the suppression of EDAR expression, which may provide insights into similar mechanisms affecting human hair conditions.

This study describes a method to isolate and analyze young and mature type VI trichomes from wild tomato species using autofluorescence-based cell sorting.

In this study, expressing human K16 in the epidermis of K14 null mice prevented early skin blistering but led to age-related anomalies, indicating K16 and K14 have distinct roles despite their sequence similarity.

This study found that overexpressing the gene OsPRX83 in rice plants enhanced osmotic and oxidative stress tolerance compared to wild-type and mutant rice, showing potential for engineering drought-resistant rice varieties through ABA-dependent pathways and ROS scavenging.

In this study, researchers using QM/MM simulations identified key molecular motions and residue interactions in the enzyme SRD5A2 that significantly influence its catalytic efficiency, demonstrating that specific residues play critical roles in stabilizing transition states and reducing activation barriers.

This study found that FRβ knockout mice exhibited autoimmune symptoms and slower tumor growth compared to wild type mice, suggesting that the FRβ receptor may play a role in regulating immune responses in tumors and autoimmune conditions.

In this study, researchers found that Fgf21 knockout mice exhibited delayed hair follicle cycling compared to wild-type mice, potentially due to altered miRNA interactions affecting Vezf1 and Map3k1 expression, providing insights into the molecular regulation of hair growth.

This study found that CRISPR/Cas9-induced loss-of-function mutations in the FGF5 gene significantly increased wool length and yield in genetically modified Chinese Merino sheep compared to wild-type controls.

A gene called APCDD1, which controls hair growth, is found to be faulty in a type of hair loss called hereditary hypotrichosis simplex.

This study found that mice lacking the CXCR2 receptor regenerated tissue scarlessly in various injury models and that administering plasma or G-CSF from these mice to wild-type mice also reduced scarring, suggesting potential therapeutic strategies to improve human skin wound healing.

In this research, sequencing the chloroplast genomes of 10 Sansevieria trifasciata cultivars allowed the identification of a trnT-psbD deletion marker capable of distinguishing closely related species, and highlighted evolutionary links with Dracaena, contributing molecular tools for taxonomy and phylogenetic studies in Asparagaceae.

This study observed that deleting ARNT in keratinocytes of mice reduced zigzag hair production and altered hair follicle differentiation, likely by affecting the expression of specific cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors.

This study found that the circular RNA circCOL1A1 influences the formation of superior-quality brush hair in white goats by regulating hair follicle stem cell behavior and interacting with the miR-149-5p/CMTM3/AR axis.

This study found that overexpressing human Bcl-2 in mice protected epidermal keratinocytes from UVB-induced apoptosis but unexpectedly increased apoptosis during hair follicle regression and chemotherapy.
