This study found that basement membrane components and structures in mouse hair follicles are highly specialized for specific inter-tissue interactions, with laminin α5 playing a crucial role in hair cycle regulation and anchoring.

This review discusses the potential benefits of phytochemicals for hair care and emphasizes the need for more robust preclinical and clinical studies, without reporting new clinical results.

This review article examines the current understanding of frontal fibrosing alopecia, noting its prevalence in different demographics and the roles of genetic and environmental factors in its pathogenesis, while highlighting that treatment approaches remain varied and lack standardization.

This review covers androgenetic alopecia's epidemiology, pathogenesis, current management options, and research trends, concluding that no definitive cure exists despite extensive interest and ongoing genetic research efforts.

In this study of Danioninae species, researchers reported that the presence of breeding tubercles on the pectoral fins is conserved in certain species and linked to local androgen conversion, with steroid 5-α-reductase playing a crucial role in their development.

In this study, researchers found that crude extracts from Avicennia marina and its component avicequinone C inhibit mechanisms contributing to androgenic alopecia in vitro, including 5α-reductase activity and DHT-AR interactions, potentially promoting hair growth and delaying the catagen phase in human dermal papilla cells.

This article discusses the various roles of steroids in vertebrate organ systems and notes several glucocorticoids that were among the Top 200 Drugs by sales in the 2010s, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that Avicennia marina extract and its active compound avicequinone C inhibit enzymes and receptors related to androgenic alopecia, potentially supporting hair growth in cultured dermal papilla cells.

This study found that red ginseng oil may enhance hair growth and protect skin from UV damage in mouse models by promoting regenerative processes and reducing inflammation.

This study highlights the evolving understanding of acne's pathophysiology and suggests that targeting pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β, IL-17, IL-23, and TNFα with biological antibodies may offer new treatment strategies for severe acne and its scars.

This review discusses recent advances in how proinflammatory cytokines affect epidermal stem cell function during skin wound healing and introduces potential therapies targeting these cells and cytokines.

This study found that Schistosoma mansoni cercariae stimulate epidermal keratinocytes in mice, initiating pro-inflammatory responses and barrier repair mechanisms akin to those in wound healing.

This study found that the PSEN1-P242LfsX11 mutation in hidradenitis suppurativa influences cytokine and chemokine expression in macrophages, potentially affecting inflammatory responses.

This study found that applying topical imiquimod during mid and late telogen in mice activates hair follicle stem cells and influences immune cell infiltration, promoting hair cycle entry independently of Wnt signaling.

This study found that Punica granatum ethanolic leaf extract may alleviate skin fibrosis in rats by modulating inflammation-related pathways and reducing dermal alterations.

This study observed that overexpression of TGF-alpha in transgenic mice led to thicker epidermis and stunted hair growth, particularly in regions with normally thick skin and low hair density.

This study found that topical rebamipide, originally a gastric ulcer medication, can activate hair follicle stem cells and promote hair regeneration by modulating dermal adipocyte metabolism, with potential targeting of the prostaglandin E receptor EP4.

This study observed that chronic and acute exposure to finasteride negatively impacted development, reproduction, and gene expression in Daphnia magna, highlighting the environmental risks of this pharmaceutical for freshwater ecosystems.

This study found that IL-1α promotes hair follicle regeneration and stem cell activation in an age-dependent manner by modulating inflammatory cells and oxidative stress in mice.

This review discusses the developmental origins and diversity of dermal fibroblasts, focusing on their roles in epidermal and hair follicle growth, but reports no clinical results.

This study found that feeding mice a high-fat diet with fish oil leads to hair loss through a mechanism involving omega-3 fatty acids and TNF-α signaling, with epidermal fatty acid binding protein playing a key role.

This study examined genetic adaptations in Tibetan sheep through whole-genome resequencing, identifying key genes related to hypoxia tolerance, wool color, and body size. These findings provide a foundation for future molecular breeding strategies to enhance wool quality and adaptive traits in these high-altitude environments.

This study found that patients with androgenetic alopecia had increased scalp microbial diversity and reduced Staphylococcus abundance, particularly in the frontal and vertex regions, suggesting this dysbiosis as a sensitive indicator of AGA.

In this study, overexpression of secretory phospholipase A2 Group-IIA in transgenic mice led to depletion of hair follicle stem cells and increased differentiation, linked to changes in histone modifications.

This study identified genomic regions and candidate genes that may contribute to phenotypic diversity in coat color, body size, cashmere traits, and high-altitude adaptation in domesticated goat breeds.

In this study, researchers observed that individuals with alopecia areata exhibited significant changes in scalp microbiota diversity and composition, which were linked to disease severity and inflammation markers, though it remains unclear if these microbial shifts are a cause or a result of hair loss.

This study found that the gut microbiota composition in patients with post-finasteride syndrome differs significantly from healthy controls, with reduced diversity and specific microbial changes, suggesting a potential diagnostic marker and therapeutic target.

This study, using multimodal profiling in mice, found that various tissues contain unique γδ T cell subsets adapted to their environment, revealing their functional diversity, lineage relationships, and similarities to CD8+ tissue-resident memory T cells.

This review discusses the complex role of the EDA pathway in vertebrate skeletal development, emphasizing its interaction with other morphogenic pathways to influence skeletal diversity, but reports no new experimental results.

This study suggests that hemoglobin α expression in the epidermis is induced by oxidative stress and may function as an antioxidant, contributing to skin barrier function.
