Slug (Snai2) helps regulate hair growth timing in mice.

This study identified a compound heterozygous mutation in a hairless rhesus macaque, which was associated with skin abnormalities similar to those in hairless mice and humans with APL.

This study provided the first proteome dataset for alopecia areata, revealing novel pathways in the disease mechanisms that may lead to new therapeutic targets.

The researchers reported that mouse keratinocyte-specific deletion of laminin γ1 led to delayed coat pigmentation due to impaired melanocyte migration and differentiation, linked to altered laminin composition in the basement membrane.

Using buccal mucosa for hypospadias repair in children is effective and reduces complications.

This study found that the retinol dehydrogenases SDR16C5 and SDR16C6 in mice play a crucial role in skin retinol dehydrogenase activity, affecting hair growth and gland functions without impacting survival.

This study found that IL-6 knockout mice exhibited increased wound-induced hair neogenesis compared to wild-type mice, likely due to enhanced STAT3 activation facilitated by compensatory cytokine activity.

This case report describes a patient with a hepatitis C diagnosis whose acral rash, initially unresponsive to psoriasis treatment, showed significant improvement with oral zinc sulfate, suggesting a diagnosis of necrolytic acral erythema.

This case report describes a 12-year-old boy with congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis and progressing acro-osteolysis, highlighting the severe complications and the necessity for early intervention.

This review discusses various aspects of hair color, including its formation and evolutionary variations, based on research presented at the 4th Intercontinental Meeting of Hair Research Societies 2004, without providing new experimental results.

This study found that VDR deficiency in mice leads to various skin pathologies but does not affect the phenotype or function of Langerhans cells.

In this study, targeting the expression of a keratin KRT5/KRT8 chimeric cDNA in keratin-deficient mice partially restored structural defects in epidermal cells, but did not fully normalize skin health.

This study reported that Indian hedgehog (Ihh) signaling plays a crucial role in regulating tumor progression and metastasis in epithelial cancers, with Ihh deficiency leading to increased malignancy and metastasis in mice.

This article reviews the normal and delayed maturation of the HPG axis and pubertal development in boys and girls, emphasizing clinical aspects of diagnosing and managing delayed puberty, but it reports no new clinical findings.

Lack of TrkC receptor delays hair follicle development.

In this study, gamma/delta T cells were observed in skin after allergic or irritant reactions to heavy metal salts, suggesting a role in skin defense against these metals.

This report describes a case where a 4-year-old boy with congenital alopecia due to hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia experienced significant hair growth after using topical minoxidil.

The document explains that hirsutism, often caused by hormonal issues, can be managed with treatment to improve both physical appearance and mental health.

In this review, researchers summarize the methods for characterizing telocytes, outline their physiological roles and implications in diseases, and discuss potential future studies including precise markers and targeted therapies.

This study found that deleting the transcription factor Twist1 in keratinocytes significantly reduced UVB-induced skin carcinogenesis in mice, suggesting a potential target for preventing cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.

In this study, researchers found that deleting TNFα in PKCε transgenic mice reduced the development of cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas induced by UV radiation or a chemical protocol.

This study in mutant mice found that Bmpr2 and Acvr2a are individually redundant, but together essential for normal hair follicle development, with their reduction causing rapid hair cycling and graying.

This case report describes successful moustache restoration in an 18-year-old with a cleft lip scar using single-follicular-unit graft hair transplantation, highlighting its application in corrective cosmetic surgeries.

This review summarizes studies on knockout mouse models revealing abnormalities in skin and hair follicle development but reports no new experimental results; the authors highlight the utility of these models for understanding hereditary skin disorders.

This study found that strontium cannot fully substitute for calcium in oat seedling root and root hair growth, though it may help mitigate toxic effects from other ions.

This case report describes a young female with a rare combination of 46,XX gonadal dysgenesis and MRKH syndrome, highlighting associated infertility challenges.

PCOS is a common inherited condition causing cysts, irregular periods, and increased diabetes risk in women.

This case report describes a dog diagnosed with discoid lupus erythematosus, presenting unusually with perianal rather than facial lesions, which resolved after corticosteroid treatment.

In this study, researchers found that the transcriptional program regulated by PRC2 is not necessary for maintaining hair follicle stem cell quiescence and hair regeneration in vivo.

This study found that C57BL/6 mice and Sprague–Dawley rats show distinct distributions of eccrine sweat glands and hair follicles in their volar skin, suggesting these models should be selected according to research focus on skin appendages.
