research 186 Dissecting the role of the common neurotrophin receptor CD271 in the skin: generation and characterization of a novel mouse model with keratinocyte-specific conditional deletion
Deleting the CD271 gene in mouse skin cells leads to disorganized skin and increased hair growth, suggesting CD271 is important for skin health.
research Learning from nudity: lessons from the nude phenotype
The Foxn1 gene mutation causes hairlessness and immune system issues, and understanding it could lead to hair growth disorder treatments.
research Genetically separable determinants of hair keratin gene expression
Mutations in the Whn gene affect hair keratin gene expression differently.

Some domesticated animals have the same genetic skin diseases as humans, which can help doctors understand human genetic mutations.
research Generation of a Novel Inducible and Dermal Papilla‐Specific Wif1‐CreER Knock‐In Mouse Line for Hair Follicle Research
A new genetic tool improves the study of hair growth and potential hair disorder treatments.
research Discovery of a novel murine keratin 6 (K6) isoform explains the absence of hair and nail defects in mice deficient for K6a and K6b
A new keratin 6 type in mice explains why some mice without certain keratin genes still have normal hair and nails.
research Colourless side of the nude mutation: Foxn1 and hair pigmentation
Foxn1 is essential for hair pigmentation by directing pigment transfer to hair cells.

MOF controls skin development by regulating genes for mitochondria and cilia.
research Recessive Mutation in FAM83G Associated with Palmoplantar Keratoderma and Exuberant Scalp Hair
A mutation in the FAM83G gene is linked to skin and hair abnormalities in two related individuals.
research The disrupted balance between hair follicles and sebaceous glands inHoxc13‐ablated rabbits
Rabbits lacking the Hoxc13 gene show similar hair and skin issues to humans with ECTD-9, making them good for research on this condition.
research Keratin 17 null mice exhibit age- and strain-dependent alopecia
Keratin 17 is crucial for early hair strength and cell survival.
research Genetic Ablation of the CDP/Cux Protein C Terminus Results in Hair Cycle Defects and Reduced Male Fertility
Mutant CDP/Cux protein causes hair defects and reduced male fertility in mice.
research 376 Tsc2 disruption in mesenchymal progenitors regulates hair follicles and TGF beta signaling
Disrupting the Tsc2 gene in certain cells leads to thicker skin, larger hair, and changes in hair growth signaling, which can be partly reversed with specific treatment.
research Homozygous Dominant Missense Mutation in Keratin 17 Leads to Alopecia in Addition to Severe Pachyonychia Congenita
A specific gene mutation causes severe skin and nail issues and hair loss.
research Finding models for skin diseases: successes and failures
The document concludes that while finding animal models for the skin disease Hidradenitis suppurativa is challenging, certain mouse mutations may provide useful insights for research and drug testing.
research Isolation and Characterization of a Putative Keratin-Associated Protein Gene Expressed in Embryonic Skin of Mice
The 4C32 gene may help in mouse skin development and differentiation.
research Novel Hairless Mutations in Two Kindreds with Autosomal Recessive Papular Atrichia
New mutations in the hairless gene may cause hair loss and affect bone development.
research Hair follicle morphogenesis and epidermal homeostasis in we/we wal/wal mice with postnatal alopecia
The we/we wal/wal mice have defects in hair growth and skin layer formation, causing hair loss, useful for understanding alopecia.
research Retinoic Acid and Mouse Skin Morphogenesis. II. Role of Epidermal Competence in Hair Glandular Metaplasia
Retinoic acid causes gland formation instead of hair in mouse skin by altering epidermal and dermal interactions.
research Human ClinicalPhenotype Associated with FOXN1 Mutations
FOXN1 mutations cause severe immunodeficiency, hair loss, nail issues, and thymus defects.
research Atrichia with papular lesions in two Pakistani consanguineous families resulting from mutations in the human hairless gene
research Inducible, reversible hair loss in transgenic mice.
