This study identified a novel locus for hereditary hypotrichosis simplex on chromosome 13q12.12~12.3 in a four-generation Chinese family.

This study found that EPHA4 and Ephrin A3 genes are differentially expressed during hair follicle development in fine-wool sheep, suggesting roles in follicle regeneration and density.

This study reports that a novel gain-of-function mutation in TMEM173, combined with polymorphisms in TMEM173 and IFIH1, results in a distinct clinical phenotype with features of SAVI, including alopecia and photosensitivity.

This study found that miR-432 inhibits KRT83 expression, revealing potential molecular mechanisms for the formation of curly fleece in Tan sheep and suggesting implications for understanding curly hair formation in humans.

This study found that Polycomb repressive complex 1 is crucial for skin development and stem cell specification, influencing gene activity beyond its known repressor functions.

This study identified differentially expressed proteins and pathways potentially involved in wool bending in Zhongwei goats, with specific genes like COL6A1 and CRNN emerging as important candidates in this process.

This study found that mice with a mutation in the Zdhhc13 gene exhibited increased susceptibility to skin cancer, highlighting a potential protective role of palmitoyl acyltransferase in skin carcinogenesis.

In this study, researchers found that connexin 43-negative cells in the basal layer of the epidermis could serve as markers for keratinocyte stem cells, aiding their identification and separation.

This study found that weakened anchorage of hair shafts, associated with the abnormal expression of 14-3-3σ, may contribute to alopecia in Er/+ mice.

This study on Dorper sheep identified important genetic factors influencing hair follicle development, finding that expression patterns and genes like DBI, FZD3, and ZDHHC21 play a crucial role in wool shedding, which could help improve understanding of mammalian skin-related traits and human hair advancement.

This study identified several candidate genes related to wool production traits and adaptation to hot, arid environments in Iranian sheep, highlighting potential targets for future inbreeding programs.

In this study, researchers in Southeastern Wisconsin characterized circulating SARS-CoV-2 lineages, notably identifying the dominance of Omicron variants, including sublineages XBB.1.5, XBB.1.16, and XBB.1.9.1, which exhibit mutations aiding viral transmission and immune evasion. This genetic analysis supports public health efforts in monitoring evolving virus strains.

Bimekizumab quickly improves psoriasis symptoms and skin at the molecular level.

The researchers reported that disrupting the RPGRIP1L gene in mice impaired desmosome function, causing skin blistering, and their findings suggest that PKCβII inhibition could help treat pemphigus.

A specific gene variant is linked to heart disease, increased heart muscle, curly hair, and thick skin on palms and soles.

This study found that Hoxc13 gene expression, influenced by melatonin, was associated with hair follicle activity in Cashmere goats, with in vitro evidence suggesting effects on genes relevant to follicle development.

This study found that the transcription factor CAP1 negatively regulates KRT83 expression in Tan sheep, possibly influencing their curly hair phenotype.

In this study, researchers identified that three homologous genes—ZmSPL10, ZmSPL14, and ZmSPL26—are crucial for the development of stigmatic papilla in maize, with triple knockout mutants lacking these genes showing almost no stigmatic papilla and significantly reduced kernel setting.

This study found that inhibiting PI3 kinase in epidermal stem cells reduces YBX1 phosphorylation, thereby decreasing cellular senescence and enhancing wound healing and regeneration in adult-derived skin models.

In this study, researchers reported that hair follicle stem cells maintain quiescence through a PIEZO1-dependent mechanism that senses mechanical forces and translates them into localized calcium influx, involving a transcriptional network that regulates cell adhesion and cytoskeleton-related genes.

This study reports that Wise is expressed in specific patterns during the morphogenesis of chick embryos, particularly in regions associated with known signaling molecules like Wnt, Bmp, and Shh.

This study found that overexpression and knockdown of DKK4 influence genes involved in hair follicle growth and development in Angora rabbits and identified specific SNPs in DKK4 associated with wool quality, notably showing that the TT/GG haplotype combination relates to higher fibre diameters.

This study identified major criteria including ectodermal malformations for diagnosing ichthyosis with confetti, and revealed significant genetic variation in the disease locus within the general population.

In this study, significant differences in the expression of type I IRS keratin genes were observed in the groins of three sheep breeds during wool growth, related to hair follicle density.

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.
