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 Comparative aspects of the inner root sheath in adult and developing hairs of mammals in relation to the evolution of hairs
The inner root sheath evolved to help hair grow safely through the skin in mammals.
research Insights into the regeneration of skin from Acomys , the spiny mouse
The spiny mouse can regenerate its skin without scarring, which could help us learn how to heal human skin better.
research Does degree of baldness influence vitamin D status?
Baldness does not affect vitamin D levels in men.
research The organization of the keratin I and II gene clusters in placental mammals and marsupials show a striking similarity
Keratin gene clusters in humans and marsupials are similarly organized.
research Structural Hierarchy of Trichocyte Keratin Intermediate Filaments
Keratin proteins are crucial for hair growth and structure.
research Genome-wide detection and sequence conservation analysis of long non-coding RNA during hair follicle cycle of yak
Long non-coding RNAs play a key role in yak hair growth cycles.
research Tabby pattern genetics – a whole new breed of cat
Two genes, Tabby and Ticked, determine cat coat patterns.
research Perspectives in dermatopathology: telomeres and telomerase in ageing and cancer; with emphasis on cutaneous disease
Short telomeres contribute to aging and cancer, and while telomerase can delay aging, it may also promote cancer.
research Molecular evolution of HR, a gene that regulates the postnatal cycle of the hair follicle
Changes in the HR gene have influenced hair growth and may lead to hair loss conditions in humans.
research The Organizer and Beyond
Cells from certain embryo parts can induce head formation in another embryo, involving complex signaling pathways.
research Organizational principles of integumentary organs: Maximizing variations for effective adaptation
Integumentary organs adapt and evolve for survival, with potential uses in regenerative medicine.
research Transglutaminase Activity Is Conserved in Stratified Epithelia and Skin Appendages of Mammals and Birds
Transglutaminase activity is important for skin and is found in both mammals and birds.
research Deadly hairs, lethal feathers – convergent evolution of poisonous integument in mammals and birds
Mammals and birds have evolved poisonous skin and feathers for defense.
research Alopecia frontal posmenopáusica
Postmenopausal women may experience frontal hairline and eyebrow loss due to cicatricial fibrosis.
research Genome-wide identification, characterization, and expression analysis of keratin genes (KRTs) family in yak (Bos grunniens)
Scientists found 53 keratin genes in yaks that are important for hair growth and share similarities with those in other animals.
research A prostaglandind-synthase-positive mast cell gradient characterizes scalp patterning
Certain immune cells are more common on the top of the head and might help predict or treat common hair loss.
research Androgenic alopecia may have evolved to protect men from prostate cancer by increasing skin exposure to ultraviolet radiation
Male pattern baldness might have evolved to help protect against prostate cancer by increasing UV radiation on the scalp.
research Inter-species differences in wound-healing rate: a comparative study involving primates and rodents
Humans heal wounds slower than non-human primates and rodents.
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 Beyond “Ethnicity” in Dermatology
The editor suggests removing "race" and "ethnicity" from dermatology and creating tools to objectively assess skin color and hair texture.
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
Pangolins have lost some skin-related genes, but kept others, showing complex skin evolution.
research The Transcriptional Regulator Prdm1 Is Essential for the Early Development of the Sensory Whisker Follicle and Is Linked to the Beta-Catenin First Dermal Signal
Prdm1 is necessary for early whisker development in mice but not for other hair, and its absence changes nerve and brain patterns related to whiskers.
research NAC transcription factor RD26 is a regulator of root hair morphogenic plasticity
RD26 controls root hair growth during drought by repressing key genes, helping plants save energy.
research Co-option of Hair Follicle Keratins into Amelogenesis Is Associated with the Evolution of Prismatic Enamel: A Hypothesis
Hair follicle keratin may have been used in tooth enamel evolution.
research Isolation and characterization of a sheep cysteine-rich cuticle keratin pseudogene
Researchers found a non-functional sheep keratin gene due to mutations.
research Low temperature abolishes human cellular circadian rhythm through Hopf bifurcation
Cold temperatures can stop human cell circadian rhythms, but warming restores them.
research Characterisation of Four New Genes in the Ovine KAP19 Family
Four new genes related to sheep wool were discovered, showing genetic diversity.
