Blocking JAK-STAT5 signaling in mice leads to hair growth.
research The quantification of reproductive hormones in the hair of captive adult brown bears and their application as indicators of sex and reproductive state
Measuring reproductive hormones in brown bear hair could help identify their sex and reproductive state, but better collection methods or lab techniques are needed.
research The developmental basis of fingerprint pattern formation and variation
Fingerprints form uniquely before birth due to specific genetic pathways and local signals.
research Evaluation of loci to predict ear morphology using two SNaPshot assays
Genetic markers can help predict ear shapes for forensic use.
research Seventy‐MHz Ultrasound Detection of Early Signs Linked to the Severity, Patterns of Keratin Fragmentation, and Mechanisms of Generation of Collections and Tunnels in Hidradenitis Suppurativa

Dietary phytoestrogens do not significantly affect testicular cancer risk.
research Naturally Occurring Hairlines in Orientals of Southeast and East Asian Origin and Their Application in Hair Restoration Surgery
Southeast and East Asian men typically have straighter hairlines with less recession and lower hair density, which is important to consider in hair restoration surgery.
research Mutations in Three Genes Encoding Proteins Involved in Hair Shaft Formation Cause Uncombable Hair Syndrome
Mutations in three genes cause Uncombable Hair Syndrome, leading to frizzy hair that can't be combed flat.
research The Aging Face
Facial aging is caused by natural processes and external factors, and can be managed with preventative measures and a variety of treatments tailored to individual needs.
research A Philosophy and Strategy for Surgical Hair Restoration
Scalp reduction gives the most natural result for significant crown baldness, despite potential complications, and a systematic approach to surgical hair restoration results in few complications and high graft survival.
research Four Independent Mutations in the Feline Fibroblast Growth Factor 5 Gene Determine the Long-Haired Phenotype in Domestic Cats
FGF5 gene mutations cause long hair in domestic cats.
research Assessment of hair loss: clinical relevance of hair growth evaluation methods
Effective hair loss assessment requires a mix of precise measurement methods.
research Quantification of the Vitamin D Receptor−Coregulator Interaction
Vitamin D receptor binds similarly to natural and synthetic ligands, affecting gene regulation.
research Alopecia fibrosante frontal. Estudio de 12 casos en la Argentina
The study found that the average age of women diagnosed with Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia in Argentina is higher than in other countries, but their symptoms are similar.
research Healthy individuals genetically at-risk for the development of Pemphigus vulgaris or Alopecia areata share disease-like cytokine dysregulation
Genetically at-risk healthy people show similar immune issues as those with Pemphigus vulgaris or Alopecia areata.
research Roles for Msx and Dlx homeoproteins in vertebrate development
Msx and Dlx genes are crucial for development, controlling cell behaviors like growth and differentiation through their roles as gene regulators.
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 Peripheral blood gene expression in alopecia areata reveals molecular pathways distinguishing heritability, disease and severity
Blood tests can help understand the genetic differences in people with alopecia areata, including how severe it is and if it's inherited.
research A Novel Atypical Presentation of Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia Involving the Frontoparietal Scalp
A woman with an unusual pattern of hair loss was confirmed to have Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia and treated with specific medications.
research Alopecia Areata in Twins With Autoimmune Thyroiditis: Personal Observations
The study found that alopecia areata is strongly linked to autoimmune diseases and may indicate a genetic predisposition to such conditions.
research Comparative Spatial Transcriptomic and Single-Cell Analyses of Human Nail Units and Hair Follicles Show Transcriptional Similarities between the Onychodermis and Follicular Dermal Papilla
Human nails and hair follicles have similar gene activity, especially in the cells that contribute to their growth and development.
research Defining the Cellular Environment in the Organ of Corti following Extensive Hair Cell Loss: A Basis for Future Sensory Cell Replacement in the Cochlea
The conclusion is that genetic differences affect how the cochlea heals after hair cell loss, which may challenge the creation of hearing loss treatments.
research An eGFP-Col4a2 mouse model reveals basement membrane dynamics underlying hair follicle morphogenesis
