The document concludes that mouse models are crucial for studying hair biology and that all mutant mice may have hair growth abnormalities that require detailed analysis to identify.
research Bald thigh syndrome in sighthounds—Revisiting the cause of a well-known disease
Bald thigh syndrome in sighthounds is caused by structural defects in hair shafts due to downregulated genes and proteins.
research The Rho GTPase exchange factor Vav2 promotes extensive age-dependent rewiring of the hair follicle stem cell transcriptome
Vav2 changes how hair follicle stem cells' genes work as they age, which might improve regeneration but also raise cancer risk.
research Novel KRT 83 and KRT 86 mutations associated with monilethrix
New mutations in KRT83 and KRT86 are linked to the hair disorder monilethrix.
research Impaired Hair Follicle Morphogenesis and Cycling with Abnormal Epidermal Differentiation in nackt Mice, a Cathepsin L-Deficient Mutation
Cathepsin L deficiency causes hair and skin issues in mice.
