Long non-coding RNAs affect feather growth in chickens in ways that don't follow traditional genetic rules.
research A model system for long-term serum-free suspension organ culture of human fetal tissues: experiments on digits and skin from multiple body regions
Scientists developed a method to grow human fetal skin and digits in a lab for 3-4 weeks, which could help study skin features and understand genetic interactions in tissue formation.
research Genome-wide Target Enrichment-aided Chip Design: a 66 K SNP Chip for Cashmere Goat
Researchers developed a cost-effective 66 K SNP chip for cashmere goats that is accurate and useful for genetic studies.
research Identification of factors contributing to phenotypic divergence via quantitative image analyses of autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis with homozygous c.736T>ALIPH mutation
Different hair fiber development might explain why hair loss severity varies in patients with a specific genetic mutation, and treatments that thicken hair could help.
research The hair shaft: normality, abnormality, and genetics
Hair microscopy is useful for diagnosing hair disorders, but clear definitions are needed for accurate genetic analysis.
research Hair Follicle Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Differentially Expressed Genes That Regulate Wool Fiber Diameter in Angora Rabbits
Genes affecting wool fiber thickness in Angora rabbits were identified, which could help breed finer wool.
research Poly(rC) binding protein 2 acts as a negative regulator of IRES-mediated translation of Hr mRNA
A protein called PCBP2 controls the production of a hair growth protein by interacting with its genetic message and is linked to hair loss when this control is disrupted.
research [An infant with short stature and red cheeks (Rothmund-Thomson syndrome)].
The infant was diagnosed with Rothmund-Thomson syndrome, a rare genetic disorder causing various physical and developmental issues.
research Exome analysis for Cronkhite-Canada syndrome: A case report
Albumin and prednisone improved symptoms in a woman with Cronkhite-Canada syndrome, revealing potential genetic causes.
research Nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia and the heterozygote carrier
Identifying nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia and carriers of CYP21 mutations is challenging, and genetic counseling is recommended due to their prevalence.
research Characterisation of Four New Genes in the Ovine KAP19 Family
Four new genes related to sheep wool were discovered, showing genetic diversity.
research Nevus Sebaceus With Novel HRAS Sequence Variant Mutation Misdiagnosed as Alopecia Areata
A 12-year-old girl was misdiagnosed with alopecia areata but actually had a nevus sebaceus with a genetic mutation.
research Steroidogenic factor-1 lineage origin of skin lesions in Carney complex syndrome
Skin lesions in Carney complex are likely caused by a specific group of skin cells that promote pigment production due to a genetic mutation.
research Main Plenary Sessions: Summaries of Papers
The document concludes that accurate diagnosis and treatment are crucial in dermatology, and it presents various findings on skin conditions and treatments.
research Fertility and Sterility Vol 101 No 4, April 2014
The April 2014 issue of "Fertility and Sterility" discussed various reproductive health topics, including hormone therapy benefits, sperm and genetic factors in male infertility, and the link between PCOS and diabetes.
research This Month in the Journal
The AR gene is linked to male-pattern baldness, TNFSF4 to heart disease, SLC19A3 to BBGD, MCT8 to a syndrome, and segmental duplications to genetic variation.
research Clinical Snippets
Topical Imiquimod may fight vascular tumors by affecting blood vessels or the immune system, low iron might be linked to some hair loss, removing the top skin layer helps vitamin C get in, genetic testing helps diagnose skin conditions, and too much iron could worsen skin inflammation.
research Hair and Nail Manifestations of Systemic Disease
Early baldness in men may indicate risks for obesity, metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, and heart disease, similar to women with PCOS. Alopecia areata is often linked with autoimmune diseases and mental health issues. Certain hair disorders are due to genetic issues, and chemotherapy can cause hair loss through specific biological pathways. Iron deficiency's link to hair loss is still disputed.
research Inflammatory and non-melanocytic tumoral pathology of the nail
The document concludes that understanding nail anatomy is key for diagnosing nail diseases, early signs of nail melanoma may allow for less aggressive treatment, and specific genetic mutations are important in thyroid cancer prognosis and treatment.
research Research Snippets
New hair regrowth model proposed, imiquimod found to kill skin cancer cells, T-cadherin loss linked to invasive skin cancer, no clear gene link to skin cancer after transplant, and study on children's hair loss shows male dominance and genetic ties.
research Birt-Hogg-Dube Syndrome with a Novel Mutation in the FLCN Gene
A new mutation in the FLCN gene linked to Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome was found, suggesting people with certain lung collapse should be tested for this mutation and screened for kidney and colon cancer.
research Epidemiology of vitiligo, associated autoimmune diseases and audiological abnormalities: Ankara study of 80 patients in Turkey
Vitiligo is linked to autoimmune diseases and hearing issues, so hearing tests are recommended for patients.
research The genetics of androgenetic alopecia
Genes and hormones cause hair loss, with four genes contributing equally.
research The fiber diameter traits of Tibetan cashmere goats are governed by the inherent differences in stress, hypoxic, and metabolic adaptations: an integrative study of proteome and transcriptome
Cashmere fiber diameter in Tibetan goats is influenced by their stress, oxygen, and metabolic adaptations.
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 A new mutation in the type II hair cortex keratin hHb1 involved in the inherited hair disorder monilethrix
A new mutation in the hHb1 keratin gene is linked to the hair disorder monilethrix.
research A replication study confirmed the EDAR gene to be a major contributor to population differentiation regarding head hair thickness in Asia
The EDAR gene greatly affects hair thickness in Asian populations.
