The authors describe drug repurposing as a promising strategy for finding new uses for existing drugs, noting it is efficient, cost-effective, and poses lower risks than traditional drug discovery processes, potentially aiding in the treatment of rare and difficult-to-treat diseases.

This study reported the successful isolation of epithelial stem cells from mouse embryonic skin using a simple culture method, with the cells showing the potential to differentiate into multiple cell types.

This review addresses the role of skin-resident adult stem/progenitor cells in skin homeostasis, disease, and cancer development, and reports no new research results.

This review examines cell-based therapies for limbal stem cell deficiency, highlighting epidermal and hair follicle-derived stem cells as promising candidates for future clinical trials, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that the CD44(+) ALDH(+) population of neonatal human keratinocytes exhibited enhanced stem cell properties, including significantly increased long-term epidermal regeneration and multipotency, compared to unfractionated cells.

This review highlights the potential of natural product-derived compounds, such as flavonoids and alkaloids, to reverse multidrug resistance in tumors, emphasizing their role in regulating signaling pathways, proteins, and genes related to MDR, and aims to guide future research efforts in this area.

This review discusses the paracrine properties of cardiac stem cells and pericytes in regenerative medicine for ischaemic diseases and reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the identification and roles of different epidermal stem cell types in skin homeostasis and repair, and reports no new experimental findings.

This article describes a potential novel approach to reduce chemotherapy-induced hair loss by enhancing the expression of specific transporters in hair follicles, but reports no clinical results.

This study found dependencies between genetic variants and various phenotypes related to fetal and early childhood growth and neurological development in healthy infants, suggesting significant gene candidates for further investigation.

This study constructed a panel of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic genes, revealing that current SNP chips insufficiently capture many drug-response gene variants, highlighting the need for complementary genetic approaches.

This review discusses current stem cell technologies, their potential therapeutic uses, and imaging techniques for tracking transplanted cells, without reporting new experimental results.

In this review, researchers discussed recent insights into caspases, enzymes initially associated with cell death and inflammation, revealing their broader roles in cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation, and highlighting the importance of caspase knock-out mice for understanding their implications in diseases.

This study found that Si Jun Zi Tang may have anti-aging effects in mice, linked to inhibition of the PI3K-AKT and P38 MAPK signaling pathways.

This review highlighted the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in gouty arthritis, emphasizing their potential influence on disease progression through immune and inflammatory regulation, and their prospective use in diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy.

This study reports that the side population technique can isolate melanocyte stem cells from human hair follicles, potentially allowing them to be used for skin pigmentation repopulation.

This study identified known and potential novel adverse events, such as squamous cell carcinoma and dehydration, for vismodegib, underlining the importance of monitoring especially in the first two months of treatment.

This study demonstrates that Puerariae Lobatae Radix may regulate skin lipid metabolism by inhibiting sebaceous gland growth and reducing triglyceride secretion, highlighting its therapeutic potential for sebaceous gland-related conditions.

This study found that exposing adult esophageal epithelial cells to skin stroma can induce them to transition toward a hair follicle identity, with HIF1a playing a crucial role in this conversion process.

This review discusses the higher prevalence of retinal changes in alopecia areata patients and suggests a potential connection to Minoxidil, but emphasizes the lack of a proposed mechanism or extensive literature on this association.

In this study, researchers using network pharmacology and molecular docking methods found that compounds from Avicennia Marina could inhibit hepatitis C virus infection by targeting key proteins such as AKT1 and TNF-α, showing potential for anti-HCV treatments.

This review highlights the potential of wedelolactone from the plant Wedelia Chinensis, summarizing its reported pharmacological effects, including anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antibacterial, antitumor, anti-osteoporosis activities, and organ protection based on existing in vitro and in vivo research findings.

This study found that a combination of five medicinal plants traditionally used in Chinese medicine significantly improved skin repair and delayed aging markers in laboratory models, suggesting synergistic anti-aging effects over individual ingredients.

This review examines the potential of K18 as a diagnostic and prognostic marker in epithelial-derived tumors, highlighting its specific expression in tumor tissues and interaction with proteins involved in tumor progression, without reporting new clinical findings.

This study found that inhibiting the Mitochondrial Pyruvate Carrier in human scalp hair follicles caused metabolic stress that halted cell proliferation and disrupted key signaling pathways, with these effects partially reversed by an integrated stress response inhibitor.

In this study, researchers discovered that the MafB gene, which is important for macrophage differentiation, shows high expression in the pancreas and is influenced by sex steroids, with varied expression patterns in hamster tissues and during reproductive phases.

This retrospective cross-section study found that in a cohort of Pica patients in Iraq, 92.4% were female, and many had low levels of ferritin, hemoglobin, and vitamin D, which may contribute to the disorder by causing psychological issues.

This study developed a new analytical method to identify a wide range of endocrine disrupting compounds in full-term amniotic fluid, revealing diverse substances with potential endocrine activity.
