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.

A new method for studying hair follicles is easier and more precise, useful for hair loss and cancer treatment research.
research NovelPAX9mutation associated with syndromic tooth agenesis
A new PAX9 gene mutation causes missing teeth and hair problems, but not skin or nail issues.
research Deletion of hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl 4-hydroxylase 2 in FoxD1-lineage mesenchymal cells leads to congenital truncal alopecia
Removing a specific gene in certain skin cells causes hair loss on the body by disrupting normal hair development.
research Complementary evolution of coding and noncoding sequence underlies mammalian hairlessness
Hairless mammals have genetic changes in both their protein-coding and regulatory sequences related to hair.
research Clinical Snippets
Melanoma risk tools need improvement, certain gene mutations cause skin diseases and could be treated by targeting those mutations, skin wrinkling may relate to lung aging due to genetic factors, and oxidative stress affects hair loss but can be reduced in low oxygen.
research 516 Possible role of ILC1 in the pathogenesis of alopecia areata (AA)
ILC1 cells contribute to hair loss in alopecia areata.
research Neurotrichosis: Hair‐shaft Abnormalities associated with Neurological Diseases
