research Folliculotropic Mycosis Fungoides: Update on Diagnosis, Clinicopathological Stage, and Management
Folliculotropic Mycosis Fungoides requires stage-based treatment, with early stages using skin therapies and advanced stages needing aggressive treatments.
research Variation in the ovine trichohyalin gene and its association with wool curvature
Variation in the TCHH gene affects wool curliness in sheep.
research Identification of the Ovine Keratin-Associated Protein 21-1 Gene and Its Association with Variation in Wool Traits
The KRTAP21-1 gene affects wool yield and can help improve wool production.
research Intraretinal variation in disease severity in the Oat mouse model of gyrate atrophy
The Oat mouse model shows mild retinal degeneration, useful for testing treatments.
research An epistatic effect of KRT25 on SP6 is involved in curly coat in horses
The genes KRT25 and SP6 affect curly hair in horses, with KRT25 also causing hair loss. If both genes are mutated, the horse gets curly hair and hair loss. KRT25 can hide the effect of SP6.
