research 603 Pathological modeling of epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS) using induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC)
Scientists used stem cells to create a model of the skin disease Epidermolysis Bullosa simplex, which helped them understand its molecular mechanisms and could aid in finding treatments.
research Keratin 17 modulates hair follicle cycling in a TNFα-dependent fashion
Keratin 17 is crucial for normal hair growth by regulating hair cycle transitions with TNFα.
research Molecular Genetics of Inherited Disorders of Epidermal Keratins
Mutations in keratin genes cause skin disorders, but new treatments show promise.
research Interactions of the Vitamin D Receptor with the Corepressor Hairless
Most Hairless gene mutations reduce its ability to work with the Vitamin D Receptor, which might explain a certain type of hair loss.
research Keratinocyte-Specific Onset of Serine Protease BSSP Expression in Experimental Carcinogenesis
BSSP may help skin tumors grow and could be a marker or target for skin cancer treatment.
research β1 Integrins with Individually Disrupted Cytoplasmic NPxY Motifs Are Embryonic Lethal but Partially Active in the Epidermis
Mutations in β1 integrins cause embryonic death but have milder effects on skin.
research The Functional Diversity of Epidermal Keratins Revealed by the Partial Rescue of the Keratin 14 Null Phenotype by Keratin 16
K16 can partially replace K14 but causes hair loss and skin issues.
research Identification of llama KRTAP7-1 and KRTAP8-1 fiber genes and polymorphism screening
Mutations in specific llama genes may affect fiber quality for textiles.
research 1329 Transglutaminase 2 deficiency leads to lipid accumulation and reduced autophagy in SZ95 sebocytes
Lack of TG2 increases fat storage and lowers cell cleanup in skin oil cells.
research A Pharmacogenetic Survey of Androgen Receptor (CAG)N and (GGN)N Polymorphisms in Patients Experiencing Long Term Side Effects after Finasteride Discontinuation
Longer CAG and GGN repeats increase alopecia risk, but no significant link to post-finasteride syndrome found.
research The inconsistent regulation of HOXC13 on different keratins and the regulation mechanism on HOXC13 in cashmere goat (Capra hircus)
The HOXC13 gene affects different hair proteins in cashmere goats in varied ways and is controlled by a feedback loop and other factors.
research Adrenal 21-hydroxylase gene mutations in Slovenian hyperandrogenic women: evaluation of corticotrophin stimulation and HLA polymorphisms in screening for carrier status
The study concluded that testing hormone levels after stimulation is not reliable for identifying carriers of 21-hydroxylase deficiency; genetic testing is necessary.
research ALX4-related frontonasal dysplasia sequence presenting with alopecia in a 12 year old girl
A 12-year-old girl's hair loss was linked to a rare genetic condition called ALX4-related frontonasal dysplasia.
research Case of non-Herlitz junctional epidermolysis bullosa withCOL17A1mutation
Genetic testing is crucial for diagnosing and managing non-Herlitz junctional epidermolysis bullosa.
research 464 Phenotypic heterogeneity of epidermolysis bullosa associated with the recurrent pathogenic variant p.(Arg2000Trp) in plectin
The specific skin disease variant p.(Arg2000Trp) in plectin can cause a wide range of symptoms, which should be considered when diagnosing patients.
research Sebaceous Gland, Hair Shaft, and Epidermal Barrier Abnormalities in Keratosis Pilaris with and without Filaggrin Deficiency
Keratosis pilaris is often linked to genetic mutations and causes skin and hair abnormalities, regardless of those mutations.
research Correlation analysis of four KRTAP gene polymorphisms and cashmere fiber diameters in two cashmere goat breeds
Certain gene variations are linked to the thickness of cashmere goat hair.
research The molecular basis of human keratin disorders
research 1426 Deletion of hoxc13 in frogs reveals key steps in the molecular evolution of cornified skin appendages
Deleting the Hoxc13 gene in frogs shows its crucial role in developing skin structures similar to hair.

Mutant Cx43 causes slower wound healing and hair growth issues in ODDD.
research Androgen receptor gene polymorphisms and risk for androgenetic alopecia: a meta-analysis
G allele of AR Stul polymorphism linked to higher hair loss risk, especially in white people.
research Loss of adipocyte phospholipase gene PLAAT3 causes lipodystrophy and insulin resistance due to inactivated arachidonic acid-mediated PPARγ signaling
Not having the gene PLAAT3 leads to fat loss, high insulin resistance, and abnormal fat levels in the blood due to a disruption in fat cell development and function.
research Novel variant in WNT10A caused short anagen hair syndrome in a Chinese pedigree
A new change in the WNT10A gene caused a condition leading to short hair growth in a Chinese family.
research Loose anagen syndrome in one identical twin girl.
A 2-year-old girl had a hair disorder not shared by her identical twin.
