research Highly Conserved Keratin-Associated Protein 7-1 Gene in Yak, Taurine and Zebu Cattle
The KRTAP7-1 gene is very similar across different cattle and yak breeds and likely plays a role in hair strength and shape.
research Sequence and structure based assessment of non-synonymous SNPs in hypertrichosis universalis
Two specific SNPs in the TRPS1 gene cause excessive hair growth by altering the protein's structure.
research Sequence-structure based phylogeny of GPCR Class A Rhodopsin receptors
The research found how GPCR Class A Rhodopsin receptors are related and suggested possible substances they interact with.

The flexible fixed-sequence testing method allows for more effective evaluation of multiple goals in a clinical trial while controlling the risk of false positives.
research Study on the zona pellucida 4 (ZP4) gene sequence and its expression in the ovaries of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome
The research suggests that the ZP4 gene is linked to egg development in women with PCOS but requires more study to understand its role in infertility.

research Complementary evolution of coding and noncoding sequence underlies mammalian hairlessness
Both gene and non-gene areas of DNA evolved to make some mammals hairless.
research Author response: Complementary evolution of coding and noncoding sequence underlies mammalian hairlessness
Hairlessness in mammals is caused by combined changes in genes and regulatory regions.
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 Baldness and the androgen receptor: the AR polyglycine repeat polymorphism does not confer susceptibility to androgenetic alopecia
AR polyglycine repeat doesn't cause baldness.
research [Molecular cloning of full-long cDNA sequences encoding hairless gene in the Kunming mouse].
The hairless gene in Kunming mice is important for hair and skin, and shows genetic variations.
research Comparative immunohistochemical analysis suggests a conserved role of EPS8L1 in epidermal and hair follicle barriers of mammals
research Mapping Human Skin: One Sequenced Cell at a Time
The article concludes that creating a detailed map of normal human skin at the single-cell level is important.
research A conditional multi-trait sequence GWAS discovers pleiotropic candidate genes and variants for sheep wool, skin wrinkle and breech cover traits
Researchers found genes and genetic variants linked to sheep wool and skin wrinkles.
research Decision letter: Complementary evolution of coding and noncoding sequence underlies mammalian hairlessness
Hairless mammals evolved quickly in both gene and non-gene areas related to skin and hair.
research Distinct tooth regeneration systems deploy a conserved battery of genes
Different species use the same genes for tooth regeneration.

research Genome-wide detection of RNA editing events during the hair follicles cycle of Tianzhu white yak
RNA editing significantly affects hair growth and follicle cycling in the Tianzhu white yak.
research Structural Hierarchy of Trichocyte Keratin Intermediate Filaments
Keratin proteins are crucial for hair growth and structure.
research Epigenetic mechanism of Gtl2-miRNAs causes the primitive sheep characteristics found in purebred Merino sheep
A special gene region controls the re-emergence of a primitive wool type in Merino sheep, improving their wool yield and adaptability.
research Identification of the Ovine Keratin-Associated Protein 21-1 Gene and Its Association with Variation in Wool Traits
The KRTAP21-1 gene affects wool yield and can help improve wool production.
research Diagnosis and management of vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome: Experience of the UK national diagnostic service, Sheffield
The UK's EDS National Diagnostic Service found that early diagnosis, lifestyle advice, and regular check-ups are crucial for managing vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. A combination of losartan and bisoprolol can reduce vascular events, improving survival and quality of life.
research Ancient Genomes Reveal the Evolutionary History and Origin of Cashmere-Producing Goats in China
Ancient Chinese goats evolved cashmere-producing traits due to selective breeding, particularly in genes affecting hair growth.
