High levels of ODC and a mutant Ha-ras gene cause tumors in mice.
research Seasonal Gene Expression Profile Responsible For Hair Follicle Development In Angora Goats
Seasonal changes affect gene activity linked to hair growth in Angora goats, influencing mohair quality.
research Identification of a secreted BMP antagonist, ectodin, integrating BMP, FGF, and SHH signals from the tooth enamel knot
Ectodin integrates BMP, SHH, and FGF signals in developing ectodermal organs.
research Selected Abstracts
Parthenolide promotes hair growth in mice and may influence pathways related to male pattern baldness.
research Increased rate of hair keratin gene loss in the cetacean lineage
Cetaceans lost hair genes to adapt to water.
research LGR5 is a conserved marker of hair follicle stem cells in multiple species and is present early and throughout follicle morphogenesis
LGR5 is a common marker of hair follicle stem cells in different animals and is important for hair growth and regeneration.
research Identification of ectoparasitic insects among domestic goats in Bulgaria
Six types of bugs were found on goats in Bulgaria, with Linognathus stenopsis being the most common.
research Identification of Pygopus 2 as a component of the ribosomal RNA transcription complex in cancer
Pygopus 2 helps ovarian cancer cells grow by aiding ribosomal RNA production, independent of Wnt signaling.
research Novel missense mutation in the EDA gene in a family affected by oligodontia
Researchers found a new mutation in the EDA gene that likely causes missing teeth and mild skin symptoms in one family.
research Keratoma Hereditaria Mutilans (Vohwinkel's Disease) with Congenital Alopecia Universalis (Atrichia Congenita)
Three siblings had both Vohwinkel's disease and congenital alopecia, with no effective treatment.
research Correction of ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) deficiency in spf‐ash mice by introduction of rat OTC gene
Introducing the rat OTC gene partially corrected OTC deficiency in mice.
research Phenotypic variability associated withWNT10Anonsense mutations
WNT10A mutations cause varied symptoms in patients with odonto-onycho-dermal dysplasia.
research Mange in Rabbits: An Ectoparasitic Disease with a Zoonotic Potential
Mange in rabbits is a serious disease that can spread to humans and is treated with medications and supportive care.
research Proposition of a low cost field assay to determine antiproliferative properties of indigenous plants using Dugesia dorotocephala (brown planaria)
The study showed that brown planaria can be used to cheaply test if local plants can stop cell growth.
research Ornithine decarboxylase is a target for chemoprevention of basal and squamous cell carcinomas in Ptch1+/– mice
Targeting ornithine decarboxylase can help prevent skin cancer.

Egfl6 is not needed for zebrafish face development.
research Bacterial Skin Diseases
Bacterial skin diseases in camelids are often caused by moisture, trauma, and infections.
research Trichofolliculoma With Mucinosis
A rare hair follicle tumor showed unusual high levels of mucin.
research Polymorphism of Exon V of prolactin gene and its association with Cashmere traits in Changthangi Pashmina goats
The prolactin gene polymorphism doesn't affect cashmere quality in these goats.
research Cell proliferation during fibre growth initiation in ferret hair follicles
Ferret hair growth starts between 0 and 4 days after melatonin treatment, with cell growth peaking in the hair germ and declining as the hair matures.
research The Noggin null mouse phenotype is strain dependent and haploinsufficiency leads to skeletal defects
Noggin gene inactivation causes skeletal defects in mice, varying by genetic background.
