research Ectodysplasin research—Where to next?
Future research on ectodysplasin should explore its role in diseases, stem cells, and evolution, and continue developing treatments for genetic disorders like hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia.
research Compilation of a comprehensive gene panel for systematic assessment of genes that govern an individual’s drug responses
Researchers found that most genes affecting drug responses are not fully covered by commercial SNP chips, suggesting the need for more comprehensive tools to optimize drug selection based on genetics.

The document suggests more research is needed to understand the link between baldness and prostate cancer.
research Editors' Picks
New findings suggest targeting IL-23 could treat psoriasis, skin cells can adapt to new roles, direct conversion of skin cells to blood cells may aid cell therapy, removing certain tumor cells could boost cancer immunotherapy, and melanoma may have many tumorigenic cells, not just cancer stem cells.
research Microenvironmental reprogramming of thymic epithelial cells to skin multipotent stem cells
Scientists turned rat thymus cells into stem cells that can help repair skin and hair.

Targeting ACE2 and TMPRSS2 may help prevent or treat COVID-19 in cancer patients.
research Clinical Management of Prostate Cancer in High-Risk Genetic Mutation Carriers
More research and guidelines are needed for managing prostate cancer in people with high-risk genetic mutations.
research Genetic architecture of mouse skin inflammation and tumour susceptibility
Lgr5 and the vitamin D receptor are key in controlling skin inflammation and tumor risk in mice.
research The Case | Bilateral kidney tumors and lung cysts
A man with kidney tumors and lung cysts was diagnosed with Birt–Hogg–Dubé syndrome and treated successfully, with genetic testing confirming the diagnosis.
research A kindred with mutant IKAROS and autoimmunity
A mutation in the IKZF1 gene causes immune system overactivity, linked to autoimmune diseases like lupus.
research Genetic analysis of the role of androgen metabolism in the pathogenesis of prostate cancer
Certain genetic markers can indicate a person's risk of developing prostate cancer.
research Effect of a transcriptional inactive or absent vitamin D receptor on beta-cell function and glucose homeostasis in mice
Mice without active or present vitamin D receptors maintain normal blood sugar control and islet gene expression when calcium levels are normal.
research Author response: Lhx2 is a progenitor-intrinsic modulator of Sonic Hedgehog signaling during early retinal neurogenesis
Lhx2 is a crucial regulator of the Sonic Hedgehog signaling in early mouse retinal development.
research The Double Edge Sword of Testosterone’s Role in the COVID-19 Pandemic
Testosterone may influence COVID-19 severity and outcomes.
research Sex-limited chromosomes and non-reproductive traits
Sex-limited chromosomes can affect traits not related to reproduction.
research Acne Syndromes and Mosaicism
Understanding how acne develops in different diseases could lead to new treatments.
research RAGE and Its Ligands in Melanoma
RAGE is a potential target for melanoma treatment, but its effectiveness is uncertain due to variable expression levels.
research Pilomatricoma in Syndromic Contexts: A Literature Review and a Report of a Case in Apert Syndrome
Pilomatricomas are often linked to genetic syndromes, especially Apert syndrome, and genetic analysis is crucial for diagnosis.
research Genetics of infertility and “assisted fertilization” in the Bible: The case of Abraham and his family
Abraham's family infertility may have a genetic explanation.
research Genomic Organization, Transcriptomic Analysis, and Functional Characterization of Avian α- and β-Keratins in Diverse Feather Forms
Feather diversity is due to different keratin gene combinations, and chickens can help study human keratin diseases.
research Decision letter: Sphingosine 1-phosphate-regulated transcriptomes in heterogenous arterial and lymphatic endothelium of the aorta
S1PR1 helps control inflammation in blood vessel cells by affecting gene activity differently in various cell types and locations.
research Lgr5+ stem cells and their progeny in mouse epidermis under regimens of exogenous skin carcinogenesis, and their absence in ensuing skin tumors
Lgr5+ stem cells do not cause skin tumors.
research 312 CRISPR/Cas9-based targeted genome editing for correction of recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa using iPS cells
The research showed that CRISPR/Cas9 can fix mutations causing a skin disease in stem cells, which then improved skin grafts in mice, but more work on safety and efficiency is needed.
research 313 Different polyamine levels in the vertex and occipital hair of pattern hair loss patients
People with pattern hair loss have higher polyamine levels in the top of their head compared to the back.
