January 2025 in “Stem Cells International” In this review, researchers discuss the role of epigenetic modifications in epidermal stem cells' decline during skin aging and identify potential interventions targeting these disruptions, suggesting significant possibilities for antiaging strategies and dermatological treatments.
October 2023 in “Cell & bioscience” This study identified a primitive coarse wool characteristic in Merino sheep that enhances environmental adaptability and fine wool yield without reducing quality, suggesting that epigenetic mechanisms, particularly involving the imprinted Gtl2-miRNAs locus, regulate this advantageous trait.
March 2026 in “Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology” This review reports that transcriptional and epigenetic mechanisms in epithelial stem cells guide their fate in the epidermis and hair follicles, crucial for skin homeostasis, but disruptions can lead to disease.
November 2023 in “Magna Scientia Advanced Research and Reviews” The researchers proposed that an epigenetic change in brain androgen receptors caused by finasteride could lead to post finasteride syndrome, while trazodone might reverse this effect by altering the epigenetic expression related to erection and libido.
January 2018 in “Stem cell biology and regenerative medicine” This review discusses the interplay between signaling/transcription factor-mediated and epigenetic mechanisms in skin development and regeneration, highlighting the need for further exploration of epigenome reorganization in these processes.
