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 216 Human hair follicles can “smell”: OR2AT4-mediated hair growth regulation
Human hair follicles have a scent receptor that can influence hair growth.
research SFRP2 augments Wnt/β-catenin signalling in cultured dermal papilla cells
SFRP2 boosts Wnt3a/β-catenin signals in hair growth cells, with stronger effects in beard cells than scalp cells.
research 376 Tsc2 disruption in mesenchymal progenitors regulates hair follicles and TGF beta signaling
Disrupting the Tsc2 gene in certain cells leads to thicker skin, larger hair, and changes in hair growth signaling, which can be partly reversed with specific treatment.
research Cloning and Expression of Cellular Retinoic Acid Binding Protein I Gene in Inner Mongolian Cashmere Goats
The CRABP I gene in cashmere goats is highly conserved but has unique features at specific amino sites.
research 4 Vitamin D resistance
Some people have genetic mutations that make them resistant to vitamin D, leading to rickets even with enough vitamin D intake.
research Joint Public Review: Touch receptor end-organ innervation and function require sensory neuron expression of the transcription factor Meis2
Meis2 is essential for touch sensation and nerve function in mice.
research Rabson-Mendenhall syndrome: two case reports and a brief review of the literature
The document concludes that Rabson-Mendenhall syndrome requires novel treatments for insulin resistance and emphasizes the importance of dental care in affected patients.
research A homozygous nonsense mutation identified in COL7A1 in a family with autosomal recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa
A specific gene mutation causes a severe skin disorder in a family.
research Differential expression of retinoic acid-synthesizing (RALDH) enzymes during fetal development and organ differentiation in the mouse
Different enzymes are active in different parts of developing mouse organs.
research The role of reactive oxygen species in cell growth: lessons from root hairs
Reactive oxygen species are essential for plant root hair growth.

GLI2 increases follistatin production in human skin cells.
research TGF‐β2 is specifically expressed in human dermal papilla cells and modulates hair folliculogenesis
TGF-β2 plays a key role in human hair growth and development.
research Novel frameshift mutation in TRPS1 in a ukrainian patient with trichorhinophalangeal syndrome type I
A new mutation in the TRPS1 gene was found in a Ukrainian girl with Trichorhinophalangeal syndrome type I.
research Expression of COUP-TF-interacting protein 2 (CTIP2) in mouse skin during development and in adulthood
CTIP2 may help in skin development and maintenance.
research Hereditary 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-resistant rickets (HVDRR): clinical heterogeneity and long-term efficacious management of eight patients from four unrelated Arab families with a loss of function VDR mutation
Patients with the same genetic mutation for vitamin D-resistant rickets showed different symptoms but all improved with treatment except for hair loss.
research Synthesis and Evaluation of 2‘-Substituted 4-(4‘-Carboxy- or 4‘-carboxymethylbenzylidene)-N-acylpiperidines: Highly Potent and in Vivo Active Steroid 5α-Reductase Type 2 Inhibitors
Compounds 15, 20, and 25 are strong inhibitors of human steroid 5α-reductase type 2.
research A Case of Trichorhinophalangeal Syndrome Caused by a Novel Heterozygous Nonsense Mutation in the TRPS1 Gene
A new genetic mutation in the TRPS1 gene causes Trichorhinophalangeal Syndrome, leading to specific hair, dental, and bone issues.
research Hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets (HVDRR) owing to a heterozygous mutation in the vitamin D receptor
A girl had rickets due to a gene mutation affecting vitamin D response.
