research Tracing selection signatures in the pig genome gives evidence for selective pressures on a unique curly hair phenotype in Mangalitza
Selective breeding caused the unique curly hair in Mangalitza pigs.
research Beyond “Ethnicity” in Dermatology
The editor suggests removing "race" and "ethnicity" from dermatology and creating tools to objectively assess skin color and hair texture.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
research Abstracts of 42nd National Conference of Association of Clinical Biochemists of India (ACBICON 2015)
The conference presented findings on how vitamin D levels, genetic factors, and lifestyle choices like smoking and yoga affect various health conditions and diseases.
research Creatine phosphokinase levels and isotretinoin therapy
Isotretinoin can raise CPK levels, so patients need monitoring, especially before surgery.
research Loss-of-function mutations of an inhibitory upstream ORF in the human hairless transcript cause Marie Unna hereditary hypotrichosis
Certain mutations in a hair growth-related gene cause a type of genetic hair loss.
research Conditional Disruption of Hedgehog Signaling Pathway Defines its Critical Role in Hair Development and Regeneration
The hedgehog signaling pathway is crucial for hair growth but not for the initial creation of hair follicles.
research Paneth Cells in Intestinal Homeostasis and Tissue Injury
Paneth cells help support stem cells and aid tissue regeneration after injury.

A genetic region near the PAX1 gene is linked to a higher risk of scoliosis in females.
research The Chicken Frizzle Feather Is Due to an α-Keratin (KRT75) Mutation That Causes a Defective Rachis
A mutation in the KRT75 gene causes frizzle feathers in chickens.
research Characterization of a Cluster of Human High/Ultrahigh Sulfur Keratin-associated Protein Genes Embedded in the Type I Keratin Gene Domain on Chromosome 17q12-21
A cluster of sulfur-rich hair protein genes was found on chromosome 17.
research Changes in Expression and Function of Extrasynaptic GABAAReceptors in the Rat Hippocampus during Pregnancy and after Delivery

research Phenotypic Diversity and Mutation Spectrum in Hypotrichosis with Juvenile Macular Dystrophy
Different harmful mutations in the CDH3 gene cause HJMD, but symptoms vary among individuals.
research Prevalence of CYP21 mutations and IRS1 variant among women with polycystic ovary syndrome and adrenal androgen excess
Some women with PCOS have CYP21 mutations and IRS1 variants, but these genetic factors are not major contributors to PCOS.
