Lampreys have a functional vitamin D receptor that may help detoxify harmful substances.
research Australian Hair and Wool Research Society Cutaneous Biology and Endocrinology Workshop
The workshop highlighted the genetic links and psychological impacts of hair loss and skin disorders.
research COVID-19 and hypopituitarism
COVID-19 and hypopituitarism (reduced pituitary gland function) are linked, with the latter's related health issues potentially worsening COVID-19 outcomes, and COVID-19 possibly increasing risk for pituitary complications.
research Becker's Nevus Syndrome
Becker's Nevus Syndrome is a rare condition with a skin patch and possible bone and muscle abnormalities, treated mainly for appearance.
research Radiographic Findings of Shoulder Involvement in Ankylosing Spondylitis
The patient with Ankylosing Spondylitis had shoulder joint damage and bone changes.
research Regeneration of Epidermal and Dental Tissues, Lens and Cornea
Most vertebrates can regenerate skin, nails, and corneas, but only some can regenerate teeth and lenses.
research An Overview on Functional and Structural Properties of Monomeric and Multimeric β-Thymosin in Invertebrates
β-thymosin in invertebrates is more complex and diverse than in vertebrates.
research Deer Antlers – A Model of Mammalian Appendage Regeneration: An Extensive Review
Deer antler regeneration offers insights for human limb regeneration and scar reduction.
research Le tégument des vertèbres et la spécification de l'épithélium cornéen

research Omenn syndrome in a 10-month-old male with athymia and VACTERL association
A 10-month-old boy with a rare combination of genetic conditions has severe immune deficiency and treatment challenges.
research Nerve dependence in tissue, organ, and appendage regeneration
Nerves are crucial for the regeneration of various body parts in many animals.
research The blastema and epimorphic regeneration in mammals
Mammals might fail to regenerate not because they lack the right cells, but because of how cells respond to their surroundings, and changing this environment could enhance regeneration.
research Hormone-dependent medial preoptic/lumbar spinal cord/autonomic coordination supporting male sexual behaviors
Testosterone and its byproducts help support male sexual behavior through different pathways in the brain and body.
research Early embryonic exposure of freshwater gastropods to pharmaceutical 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors results in a surprising open-coiled “banana-shaped” shell
Certain drugs change freshwater snail shells to a "banana" shape.

A rare fetal malformation caused difficult birth in a goat, requiring surgery.
research Hardwiring Stem Cell Communication through Tissue Structure
The conclusion is that tissue structure is key for stem cell communication and maintaining healthy tissues.
research Cross-species sensitivity to a novel androgen receptor agonist of potential environmental concern, spironolactone
Spironolactone harms fish reproduction and is more potent in fish than invertebrates, needing environmental monitoring.
research Distinct tooth regeneration systems deploy a conserved battery of genes
Different species use the same genes for tooth regeneration.
research Molecular evolution of HR, a gene that regulates the postnatal cycle of the hair follicle
Changes in the HR gene have influenced hair growth and may lead to hair loss conditions in humans.
