research Genome scan for signatures of adaptive evolution in wild African goat (capra nubiana)
Wild African goats have genetic adaptations for surviving harsh desert conditions.
research Maternal nutrition at conception modulates DNA methylation of human metastable epialleles
A mother's diet at conception can cause lasting genetic changes in her child.
research Experimental Induction of Alopecia Areata-Like Hair Loss in C3H/HeJ Mice Using Full-Thickness Skin Grafts
Skin grafts on mice can cause an immune response leading to hair loss, useful for studying human hair loss conditions.
research Keratin 17 null mice exhibit age- and strain-dependent alopecia
Keratin 17 is crucial for early hair strength and cell survival.
research Mutant laboratory mice with abnormalities in hair follicle morphogenesis, cycling, and/or structure: annotated tables

research Novel skin phenotypes revealed by a genome-wide mouse reverse genetic screen
The research identified new skin traits in mice, some linked to human skin conditions.
research Culture and Differentiation of Human Hair Follicle Dermal Papilla Cells in a Soft 3D Self-Assembling Peptide Scaffold
The 3D scaffold helped maintain hair cell traits and could improve hair loss treatments.
research Hair Pigmentation: A Research Update
Hair color is determined by different melanins and changes with age.
research Modulation of genomic and postgenomic alterations in noncancer diseases and critical periods of life
N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) can prevent DNA damage and protect cells from harm.
research Itpr3 Is Responsible for the Mouse Tufted (tf) Locus
The Itpr3 gene causes a specific hair pattern in mice.
research The effect of melatonin treatment on fur maturation period and hair follicle cycle in growing chinchillas
Melatonin treatment speeds up fur maturation and changes the hair growth cycle in young chinchillas.
research Analysis of genome DNA methylation at inherited coat-color dilutions of Rex Rabbits
Inherited color dilution in Rex rabbits is linked to DNA methylation changes in hair follicles.
research OBESITY-RELATED FACTORS INVOLVED IN ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM STRESS INDUCTION IN ADIPOCYTES
Adipose tissue changes in obesity can trigger stress in fat cells.
research Regulation of melanocyte stem cells in the pigmentation of skin and its appendages: Biological patterning and therapeutic potentials
Understanding how melanocyte stem cells work could lead to new treatments for hair graying and skin pigmentation disorders.
research The transcriptional landscape of seasonal coat colour moult in the snowshoe hare
Researchers found genes that control hair color and growth change before the visible coat color changes in snowshoe hares.
research Hair repigmentation associated with the use of lenalidomide: Graying may not be an irreversible process!
An 81-year-old man's white hair began to regain its original color while he was treated with lenalidomide, suggesting that graying hair might be reversible.
research Transcriptomic regulation of seasonal coat color change in hares
Genes related to pigmentation, body rhythms, and behavior change during hares' seasonal coat color transition, with a common genetic mechanism in two hare species.
research A review of the etiologies, clinical characteristics, and treatment of canities
Gray hair is caused by reduced melanin production or transfer issues, linked to aging and possibly health conditions, with treatments focusing on color camouflage.
research Lamivudine associated hair repigmentation and a comprehensive review on reversal canities
Lamivudine might reverse hair graying and needs more research for potential treatments.
research Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, Insulin Resistance, and Obesity: Navigating the Pathophysiologic Labyrinth
Insulin resistance and obesity are key factors in the development and worsening of polycystic ovary syndrome, and lifestyle changes are important for managing it.
research The Dermal Papilla: An Instructive Niche for Epithelial Stem and Progenitor Cells in Development and Regeneration of the Hair Follicle
The dermal papilla is crucial for hair growth and health, and understanding it could lead to new hair loss treatments.
research Function and underlying mechanisms of seasonal colour moulting in mammals and birds: what keeps them changing in a warming world?
Animals that change color with the seasons mainly do so in response to daylight changes, but climate change is causing camouflage problems that may require evolutionary changes.
research Whole-genome sequencing of eight goat populations for the detection of selection signatures underlying production and adaptive traits
Researchers identified genes linked to coat color, body size, cashmere production, and high altitude adaptation in goats.
research Melanin Pigmentary Disorders: Treatment Update
Treatments for melanin disorders exist, but more effective options needed.
research The use of polyethylenimine–DNA to topically deliver hTERT to promote hair growth
Using polyethylenimine-DNA to deliver the hTERT gene can stimulate hair growth and may be useful in treating hair loss, but there could be potential cancer risks.
research Hormonal regulation in male androgenetic alopecia—Sex hormones and beyond: Evidence from recent genetic studies
Hormones and genes affect hair growth and male baldness.
research Progress and prospects: gene therapy for performance and appearance enhancement
Gene therapy shows promise for enhancing physical traits but faces ethical, safety, and regulatory challenges.
research Functionally distinct melanocyte populations revealed by reconstitution of hair follicles in mice
Only skin melanocytes, not other types, can color hair in mice.
research The Biology of Hair Growth
Hair growth is influenced by hormones and goes through different phases; androgens can both promote and inhibit hair growth depending on the body area.
