The study found genetic variations in sheep linked to traits like milk production, growth, and health.
research Male-pattern baldness susceptibility locus at 20p11
Researchers found a new gene area linked to male-pattern baldness, which, along with another gene, significantly increases the risk of hair loss in men.
research Evaluation of loci to predict ear morphology using two SNaPshot assays
Genetic markers can help predict ear shapes for forensic use.
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 Finding bald spots on chromosome 20p11
New genes linked to male pattern baldness were found on chromosome 20p11.
research 314 Molecular genetic dissection of ILVEN leads to successful targeted therapy
Targeted therapy with Ustekinumab significantly improved a skin condition called ILVEN, which is caused by mutations in the CARD14 gene.
research 316 Specialized ribosomes in human dermal fibroblast senescence
Specialized ribosomes affect aging in human skin cells.
research 313 Different polyamine levels in the vertex and occipital hair of pattern hair loss patients
People with pattern hair loss have higher polyamine levels in the top of their head compared to the back.
research What does acne genetics teach us about disease pathogenesis?
Acne is significantly influenced by genetics, and understanding its genetic basis could lead to better, targeted treatments.
research Mapping of cis-acting expression quantitative trait loci in human scalp hair follicles
Researchers identified genes in scalp hair follicles that may affect hair traits and hair loss.
research Analogs of human genetic skin disease in domesticated animals
Some domesticated animals have the same genetic skin diseases as humans, which can help doctors understand human genetic mutations.
research Region-specific reversal of epidermal planar polarity in the rosette fancy mouse
Hair follicles in the back of the rosette fancy mouse have reversed orientations due to a gene mutation.
research Sparse haplotype-based fine-scale local ancestry inference at scale reveals recent selection on immune responses
Recent selection on immune response genes was identified across seven ethnicities.
research Early inductive events in ectodermal appendage morphogenesis
Early development of hair, teeth, and glands involves specific signaling pathways and cellular interactions.
research Alopecia areata: A multifactorial autoimmune condition
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease causing patchy hair loss, often with other autoimmune disorders, but its exact causes are unknown.
research Genome-wide association study in frontal fibrosing alopecia identifies four susceptibility loci including HLA-B*07:02
