This study provided the crystal structure of the human steroid 5α-reductase 2 enzyme and identified key molecular mechanisms for testosterone reduction and finasteride inhibition, aiding in understanding disease-causing mutations and potentially facilitating new drug development.

This study reports that a homozygous A1103G mutation in DSG 4 is responsible for localized autosomal recessive hypotrichosis in a 2-year-old Chinese girl, resulting in reduced DSG 4 expression and hair defects.

This study synthesized nonsteroidal ligands as second-generation androgen receptor agonists and identified three compounds with significant anabolic activity and moderate to minimal androgenic activity in vivo.

This article reviews differential diagnosis approaches for 46,XY DSD, proposing a diagnostic algorithm focused on biochemical and genetic data, without presenting new clinical results.

This study found that polyamidoamine dendrimers can permeate skin's current conducting pores and alter the magnitude and direction of electroosmotic flow, affecting drug flux during iontophoresis.

This study observed that CDH3-related congenital hypotrichosis with juvenile macular dystrophy presents with childhood-onset progressive chorioretinal atrophy and universally thin and sparse scalp hair.

This study found that mimicking the XPD point mutation in mice resulted in trichothiodystrophy-like symptoms, supporting the role of basal transcription and DNA repair defects in the disease.

This article discusses the structure of the human type II 5 alpha-reductase gene and reports no new experimental results.

In this study, forced expression of the transcription factor cDermo-1 in chicken dermis led to the formation of ectopic feather buds and enhanced feather growth, demonstrating its role in initiating skin appendage development.

In this study, a novel DCAF17 gene mutation was identified in a Chinese family, suggesting a potential role in pancreatic β cell dysfunction and diabetes development in Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome.

This review discusses molecular testing for endocrine diseases, highlighting its diagnostic benefits and potential for prevention, particularly in conditions like multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 and adrenogenital syndrome, but reports no new clinical results.

This research describes a crucial role for Meis2 expression in mesenchymal cells derived from the neural crest for whisker formation, showing that whiskers can develop without sensory innervation or FOXD1 expression, highlighting an early function of MEIS2.

This review discusses the essential roles and complex regulation of PP2A in various physiological processes and reports no clinical results; the authors highlight the need for further mouse model research to explore PP2A's therapeutic potential.

This study found that chromosomal microarray analysis identified copy number variations in 12% of patients with dysmorphic features and congenital anomalies, demonstrating its potential as a diagnostic tool, especially for rare CNVs and immune deficiency linked to the deletion of CTLA4.

This study found that fibroblasts from Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy patients with certain genetic mutations overexpress markers of fibrosis, and gene correction techniques reduced fibrogenic molecule expression in cell models, suggesting potential therapeutic applications.

This study found that the transcription factor Meis2 is crucial for the maturation and innervation of sensory neurons responsible for light touch in mice, with its absence leading to reduced touch sensitivity.

This study revealed distinct cellular and transcriptomic differences among various subtypes of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, particularly highlighting characteristics unique to folliculotropic mycosis fungoides.

In this study, a missense mutation in the MAP2 gene was found to be associated with reduced hair follicle density, leading to the hairless phenotype in pigs.

This study found that the film-trigger applicator system enhanced drug delivery efficiency and skin penetration of dissolving microneedles compared to traditional patch systems in both lab and animal models.

This study found that DALL-E 2 performed poorly in generating accurate images of most pediatric dermatological conditions, highlighting the need for more domain-specific and inclusive training data.

This study found that mice with a mutant CDP/Cux protein lacking the homeodomain showed severely impaired growth, high postnatal mortality, and reduced fertility, highlighting CDP/Cux's role in developmental regulation.

In this study, researchers observed monochorionic diamniotic twins with discordant clinical phenotypes, where one had high-grade trisomy 12p mosaicism in certain tissues, while the other showed confined mosaicism likely due to twin-to-twin transfusion.

This study introduced a new technique, 2Phatal, enabling precise apoptotic cell ablation in living animals, revealing unique cell-type differences in apoptosis-related dynamics.

This review discusses recent advances in understanding the Eda pathway's role in developmental biology, and highlights ongoing trials and areas for further research, including Eda's potential involvement in cell processes and disease.

This review reports that combining adipose-derived stem cells with decellularized extracellular matrix enhances tissue repair by improving scaffold biological activity and promoting angiogenesis, integration, and functional regeneration across various tissues, while addressing challenges in traditional transplantation methods.

In this study, researchers identified a recurrent nonsense mutation, c.409C>T (p.Arg137*), in the COL7A1 gene through whole exome sequencing in a family with autosomal recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, demonstrating the importance of this method for diagnosing genetically complex conditions.

In this study, the authors highlight the potential of intradermal microinjections of dutasteride as an adjunctive therapy for androgenetic alopecia, though they note that information on its effectiveness remains limited.

This study demonstrated that a metric based on rotational echo intensity in 2H magic-angle spinning NMR can derive kinetic information for conformational exchange without complex modelling, achieving activation barriers consistent with prior findings.

This review discusses recent advances in polydopamine-based biomaterials and their growing potential in personalized medicine, but reports no new experimental results; the authors highlight both opportunities and challenges for future applications.
