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 Mediator 1 ablation induces enamel-to-hair lineage conversion in mice through enhancer dynamics
Removing Mediator 1 from certain mouse cells causes teeth to grow hair instead of enamel.
research Skin-specific expression of a truncated E1a oncoprotein binding to p105-Rb leads to abnormal hair follicle maturation without increased epidermal proliferation.
The oncoprotein causes abnormal hair growth without increasing skin cancer risk.
research Functional Characterization offer-ts, a Temperature-Sensitive FERONIA Mutant Allele That Alters Root Hair Growth
The fer-ts mutation in plants prevents root hair growth at high temperatures.
research A Case of Familial Male-limited Precocious Puberty with a Novel Mutation
A boy with a rare form of early puberty caused by a new gene mutation responded well to treatment aimed at reducing testosterone and preserving adult height.

The TRPV3 gene variant may cause the long-haired suri alpaca coat.
research Clinical and molecular genetic studies in hereditary hair loss
Researchers found a genetic link for hereditary hair loss but need more analysis to identify the exact gene.
research Mutations in the vitamin D receptor and hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets
Mutations in the vitamin D receptor cause hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets, leading to poor bone health and requiring high calcium doses for treatment.
research A Splice Site Mutation in the Gene of the Human Type I Hair Keratin hHa1 Results in the Expression of a Tailless Keratin Isoform
A genetic mutation in the hHa1 gene creates a smaller, but still functional, hair protein without causing hair problems.
research Finding models for skin diseases: successes and failures
The document concludes that while finding animal models for the skin disease Hidradenitis suppurativa is challenging, certain mouse mutations may provide useful insights for research and drug testing.
