research Morphological study in a mechanism of congenital pili torti formation: Björnstad syndrome
Björnstad syndrome causes twisted hair from birth.
research Candidate SNP markers of reproductive potential are predicted by a significant change in the affinity of TATA-binding protein for human gene promoters
Certain genetic markers linked to reproductive potential were identified by their impact on a protein's ability to bind to genes.
research Zebrafish Model of Hereditary Pigmentary Disorders
Zebrafish help understand genetic causes of skin pigment disorders like albinism.
research The premature catagen induced by estrogen was accompanied with advance apoptosis of precortex cells.
Estrogen speeds up hair follicle cell death, causing early hair growth cycle changes, but only if a specific receptor is present.
research A pair of transmembrane receptors essential for the retention and pigmentation of hair
Bmpr2 and Acvr2a receptors are crucial for hair retention and color.
research The Near-Naked Hairless (Hr) Mutation Disrupts Hair Formation but Is Not Due to a Mutation in the Hairless Coding Region
The near-naked hairless mutation causes hair loss but is not due to a mutation in the hairless gene itself.
research sc-eQTL unveil immunogenetic architecture of polycystic ovary syndrome
PCOS involves immune and genetic factors, with key roles for T cells and specific genes.
research Finding bald spots on chromosome 20p11
New genes linked to male pattern baldness were found on chromosome 20p11.
research The role of the androgen receptor gene CAG repeat polymorphism and X-chromosome inactivation pattern in postmenopausal female pattern hair loss
research Alopecia in a Viable Phospholipase C Delta 1 and Phospholipase C Delta 3 Double Mutant
Mutations in Plcd1 and Plcd3 together cause severe hair loss in mice.
research Pinkie, the First Viable Germline Hypomorph Allele of Retinoid X Receptor Alpha, Reveals an Important Role for RXRa in Th2 Development.
RXRa is crucial for Th2 immune cell development and may link nutrition to immune health.
research Size Polymorphisms in the Human Ultrahigh Sulfur Hair Keratin-Associated Protein 4, KAP4, Gene Family
The study found that variations in hair protein genes are likely due to evolutionary deletions or duplications.
research Acquired pili torti--a structural hair shaft defect in anorexia nervosa.
Anorexia nervosa may cause a hair defect called pili torti due to malnutrition and high vitamin A levels.
research Reply from the Authors
The authors confirmed that β-estradiol inhibits hair growth in mice when used at the correct concentration.
research Disruption of Smad4 in Mouse Epidermis Leads to Depletion of Follicle Stem Cells
Disrupting Smad4 in mouse skin causes early hair follicle stem cell activity that leads to their eventual depletion.
research The emerging roles of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) deregulation in polycystic ovary syndrome
m6A deregulation plays a key role in PCOS and could lead to new treatments.
research 882 Syndactyly type III and hypotrichosis in oculodentodigital syndrome with GJA1 mutation
A boy with Oculodentodigital syndrome had a unique GJA1 gene mutation causing his symptoms.
research Genome-based analysis of the genetic pattern of black sheep in Qira sheep
Black wool in Qira sheep is linked to specific gene mutations, especially in the TYRP1 gene.
research Observations that suggest a contribution of altered dermal papilla mitochondrial function to androgenetic alopecia
Hair loss in men might be linked to changes in cell energy factories.
research Cellular Senescence and Aging in Myotonic Dystrophy
Myotonic Dystrophy may age cells faster, and drugs that target aging could be potential treatments.
research Tyrosinase Depletion Prevents the Maturation of Melanosomes in the Mouse Hair Follicle
Reducing Tyrosinase prevents mature color pigment cells from forming in mouse hair.
research Short sequence repeats of the intergenic spacer regions of ribosomal RNA genes in Malassezia globosa and M. restricta colonizing the scalps of male individuals with and without androgenetic alopecia
A specific DNA pattern in Malassezia restricta may be linked to hair loss in men.
research Follicular dysplasia in two cows
Two cows had a rare hair disorder causing hair loss but were otherwise healthy.

Inhibiting connective tissue sheath contraction may improve hair growth in male pattern baldness.
research Senile hair graying: H 2 O 2 ‐mediated oxidative stress affects human hair color by blunting methionine sulfoxide repair
Gray hair is caused by hydrogen peroxide buildup, which damages hair color repair.
research Modulation of Murine Hair Follicle Function by Alterations in Ornithine Decarboxylase Activity
Ornithine decarboxylase is crucial for hair growth regulation in mice.
research Mechanotransduction in Androgenetic Alopecia: An In Silico Repositioning Study of PIEZO1 + MLCK Axis Using Cofolding and Pilosebaceous Single-Cell Atlas Constraints
