research Genome-wide meta-analysis identifies novel loci conferring risk of acne vulgaris
New genetic factors linked to acne risk were discovered, highlighting the role of certain pathways and genes.
research The Basic Science of Hair Biology
Hair disorders are caused by a complex mix of biology, genetics, hormones, and environmental factors, affecting hair growth and leading to conditions like alopecia.
research Ancient Genomes Reveal the Evolutionary History and Origin of Cashmere-Producing Goats in China
Ancient Chinese goats evolved cashmere-producing traits due to selective breeding, particularly in genes affecting hair growth.

The CORT, FGF5, and CD36 genes are crucial for the cold weather adaptation of Yanbian cattle.
research Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis
Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis is a rare, serious skin condition that can affect anyone, is more common in women, and may be linked to genetics, with a 20% mortality rate mainly due to sepsis.
research Biallelic HEPHL1 variants impair ferroxidase activity and cause an abnormal hair phenotype
Mutations in the HEPHL1 gene cause abnormal hair and cognitive issues.
research Thyroid diseases and skin autoimmunity
Thyroid diseases may contribute to autoimmune skin diseases, and more research is needed on their relationship.

Certain genetic variants in keratins increase the risk of tooth decay.
research Is polycystic ovary syndrome a sexual conflict? A review
The conclusion suggests that PCOS may persist due to genetic traits that, while harmful for female fertility, could have provided survival and reproductive benefits to males.
research An incompletely penetrant novel MAFB (p.Ser56Phe) variant in autosomal dominant multicentric carpotarsal osteolysis syndrome
Researchers found a new gene variant linked to a rare bone disease, which doesn't always cause symptoms in carriers.
research Uncovering the complex relationship between balding, testosterone and skin cancers in men
Men with baldness are more prone to skin cancers on the scalp due to sun exposure, not testosterone.
