In this review, the authors emphasize that phenotypic heterogeneity in genetic systems and human diseases is influenced by stochastic fluctuation and network topology, proposing that ultrasensitivity and threshold effects explain this variability, which may inform strategies for preventing and treating genetic diseases.

This study found that distinct low-threshold mechanoreceptors innervate different hair follicle types in mice, suggesting that these follicles serve as unique mechanosensory structures in touch perception.

This study found that increasing the follicle number criteria for diagnosing PCOS to 25 per ovary excluded some women who continue to show evidence of metabolic risk.

This study found that in SAMP8 mice, phenotypic changes in outer hair cells or the stria vascularis, possibly due to oxidative deficiencies, may predict variability in age-related hearing loss before outer hair cell loss occurs.

This study determined that a total testosterone concentration of ≥5.1 nmol/L identified androgen-producing tumors in women with severe hyperandrogenemia, while a lower threshold of ≥2.2 nmol/L was found for diagnosing pathologic hyperandrogenism in postmenopausal women.
