The human hair follicle can store topical compounds and be targeted for drug delivery with minimal side effects.

In this study, the researchers reported that Notch/CSL signaling is crucial for hair follicle differentiation, with Wnt5a signaling and FoxN1 acting as mediators in mice.

In this study, a novel mutation in the glucocorticoid receptor gene was identified in a young woman, impairing glucocorticoid signaling and leading to generalized glucocorticoid resistance.

This study introduced a new hair shading model that more accurately simulates light scattering on hair fibers, capturing effects not predicted by previous models.

In this study, researchers identified that upon tissue injury in a mouse model, epidermal cells at the wound edge convert to an embryonic-like state with SOX11 and SOX4 playing a central role in modulating epidermal development and cell migration genes.

This study found that simultaneously inhibiting both KLK5 and KLK7 proteases completely rescued skin barrier defects in a mouse model of Netherton syndrome, suggesting both should be therapeutic targets.

This article discusses the roles of epidermal stem cells in maintaining skin homeostasis and highlights how deregulation in signaling pathways may lead to cancer, but it reports no new experimental results.

This article reviews the discourse around male cosmetic surgery patients and argues against the perception that cosmetic surgery will become as common among men as it is among women.

This review highlights various methods of stem cell communication that reflect the unique organization and function of different tissues and reports no new results.

This study found that a 2% topical minoxidil solution significantly increased hair regrowth compared to placebo in women with androgenetic alopecia over 32 weeks.

This review discusses the complex systemic nature of vitiligo and its associations with autoimmune conditions, emphasizing the need for increased understanding and awareness of related comorbidities and psychological effects.

This review discusses the development and future prospects of biomaterials for in situ tissue regeneration but reports no new research results; it underscores the importance of biomaterials in addressing tissue defects.

This study found that sympathetic nerves and arrector pili muscles form a niche that modulates hair follicle stem cell activity, revealing their role in hair follicle regeneration.

This study found that premature hair loss due to stress does not occur in NK-1 receptor knockout or mast cell deficient mice, suggesting a key role for neurokinin substance P and mast cell interaction in stress-related hair follicle changes.

This study found that human hair follicle-derived mesenchymal stem cells can differentiate into myogenic, osteogenic, adipogenic, and chondrogenic lineages, although this potential decreases over time and varies by lineage.

This study found that finasteride significantly reduced serum dihydrotestosterone levels, confirming its efficacy as a 5a-reductase inhibitor, while Permixon showed no effect in healthy male volunteers.

This review discusses the infection dermatophytosis in cats and reports no new results; it emphasizes the difficulty of eradicating the disease in shelters and catteries.

This review discusses the roles of Wnt signaling in skin organogenesis and related processes but reports no new experimental results, highlighting areas for future research.

This study demonstrated that a c-Kit-CreER-driven mouse model confirms melanocyte stem cells as a genuine source of melanoma, paralleling human melanoma in heterogeneity and gene signatures.

This study found that oral JAK inhibitors, ruxolitinib and tofacitinib, are effective and well-tolerated for treating severe alopecia areata, with a similar degree of hair regrowth and relapse rates, but ruxolitinib induced faster initial hair regrowth.

This study concluded that a polarized-light handheld dermatoscope attached to a digital camera is a practical and useful tool for diagnosing different types of alopecia.

This study demonstrated that intact adult human dermal papillae can induce hair growth when implanted into mouse hair follicles, highlighting their potential for advancing hair follicle biology and therapeutic approaches.

This article reviews historical and recent developments related to toxic shock syndrome (TSS), emphasizing the increase in cases among young women using tampons, and calls for new research tools but does not report new results.

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 review discusses the role of Toll-like receptors in wound healing and highlights their potential therapeutic value but notes that their role in human wound healing and chronic wounds is not well understood.

This study developed a method for expanding human dermal papilla cells in vitro while maintaining their ability to induce hair growth, advancing the potential for follicular cell implantation as a treatment for hair loss.

Minoxidil promotes hair growth by increasing cell division and DNA synthesis.

This research reported that squarticles, nanoparticles made from sebum-derived lipids, enhanced the follicular delivery and skin accumulation of diphencyprone and minoxidil, indicating effective drug deposition with reduced systemic absorption in alopecia treatment.

This study located a potential genetic link for androgenetic alopecia on chromosome 3q26, marking an early step in identifying new susceptibility genes for male pattern baldness.

This article discusses the need for organizational scholars to shift focus from big business organizations to everyday events and places, but it reports no new empirical results.
