White rhinoceroses have a unique skin structure with thick epidermis and no hair or oil glands.
research Whole exome sequencing in Alopecia Areata identifies rare variants in KRT82
Rare changes in the KRT82 gene are linked to a higher risk of Alopecia Areata.
research Is polycystic ovary syndrome a sexual conflict? A review
The conclusion suggests that PCOS may persist due to genetic traits that, while harmful for female fertility, could have provided survival and reproductive benefits to males.
research Neural crest cells give rise to non-myogenic mesenchymal tissue in the adult murid ear pinna
Certain cells in the adult mouse ear come from cranial neural crest cells, but muscle and hair cells do not.
research Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa
Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa are complex eating disorders with increasing incidence among young females, significant morbidity, and varying mortality rates, requiring more research for better treatment.

New insights into cell communication in psoriasis suggest innovative drug treatments.
research Ethnicity, obesity and the prevalence of impaired glucose tolerance and type 2 diabetes in PCOS: a systematic review and meta-regression
Women with PCOS are more likely to have impaired glucose tolerance and type 2 diabetes, especially if they are Asian or obese.
research De novo single-nucleotide and copy number variation in discordant monozygotic twins reveals disease-related genes
The research found genetic differences in identical twins that could explain why one twin has a disease while the other does not.
research Wound Healing: A Cellular Perspective
The document concludes that better targeted treatments are needed for wound healing, and single-cell technologies may improve cell-based therapies.

research Generation of Pax1/PAX1-Specific Monoclonal Antibodies
Researchers created specific antibodies that detect a protein important in development and various conditions, and can be used for research and diagnosis.
research Genetics of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
PCOS has a strong genetic basis, but more research is needed to fully understand it.
research 944 Non-coding double stranded RNA induces retinoic acid synthesis and retinoid signaling to control regeneration
Non-coding RNA boosts retinoic acid production and signaling, aiding regeneration.
research 218 Chemokine receptor CCR5 is the novel target for the treatment of alopecia areata
Blocking the CCR5 receptor may be a new way to treat hair loss from alopecia areata.
research Improving human forensics through advances in genetics, genomics and molecular biology
DNA profiling in forensics has improved, but predicting physical traits and ancestry from DNA has limitations and requires ethical consideration.

Understanding where cancer cells come from helps create better prevention and treatment methods.
research Genetic Variation at the MC1R Locus and the Time since Loss of Human Body Hair
Humans lost body hair relatively recently in evolution.
research Obesity and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Implications for Pathogenesis and Novel Management Strategies
Obesity worsens PCOS symptoms, and PCOS may lead to more weight gain; managing both requires a holistic approach that includes mental health.
research Skin Keratins
Keratins are important for skin cell health and their problems can cause diseases.
research Convergent Evolution of Cysteine-Rich Keratins in Hard Skin Appendages of Terrestrial Vertebrates
Cysteine-rich keratins evolved independently in mammals, reptiles, and birds for hard skin structures like hair, claws, and feathers.
research An incompletely penetrant novel MAFB (p.Ser56Phe) variant in autosomal dominant multicentric carpotarsal osteolysis syndrome
Researchers found a new gene variant linked to a rare bone disease, which doesn't always cause symptoms in carriers.
research Increased DHT levels in androgenic alopecia have been selected for to protect men from prostate cancer
Higher DHT in male baldness may protect against prostate cancer.

Cells from certain embryo parts can induce head formation in another embryo, involving complex signaling pathways.
research Single-cell transcriptomics defines keratinocyte differentiation in avian scutate scales
The research identified two types of keratinocytes in chicken scales: one for hard scales and another for soft skin, with similarities to human skin differentiation.
research Decay of Skin-Specific Gene Modules in Pangolins
Pangolins have lost some skin-related genes, but kept others, leading to their unique scales and skin features.
research Convergent Decay of Skin-specific Gene Modules in Pangolins
