This study found that β1 integrin expression may serve as an indicator of androgenetic alopecia severity and could be involved in the disease's development.

In this report, a 35-year-old patient with beta thalassemia experienced thyroid dysfunction following repeated blood transfusions, highlighting that such disorders are common among transfused thalassemia patients.

This study found that JAK1 and JAK2 inhibitors increase β-catenin activity in human hair follicle cells, suggesting an additional therapeutic mechanism for treating severe alopecia areata.

This case report describes common thyroid disorders in a β-thalassemia patient with frequent blood transfusions, emphasizing the need for monitoring thyroid function in such patients.

This study found that combining red light therapy with oral beta-carotene significantly improved photoaging treatment outcomes compared to red light therapy alone, with Group A showing a 56.12% reduction in photoaging scores over 12 weeks versus 44.78% in Group B.

This study found that adults with β-thalassemia major had a significantly higher prevalence of skin, hair, and nail disorders compared to healthy controls, influenced by factors like age, gender, and ferritin levels.

In this study, the researchers observed that transfecting hair follicle cells with an amino-terminal truncated beta-catenin gene significantly increased cell proliferation, potentially by enhancing c-myc gene expression.

This study established a method for selecting human hair follicle stem cells through quick-adherence to collagen, and found that β-catenin plays a role in their proliferation and differentiation.

This study found that AtT-20 pituitary cells with higher cAMP-dependent kinase activity had larger calcium currents and significantly increased beta-endorphin release compared to cells with lower kinase activity.

Long-term use of canthaxanthin may cause reversible changes in the eye, including crystal deposits and altered vision responses.

In this study, researchers formulated a topical gel containing β-sitosterol for alopecia treatment and found it demonstrated good 5 alpha reductase inhibitory activity in vitro, comparable to a commercial product, indicating its potential for further antiandrogenic activity investigation.

This study found that inhibiting TGF-β receptors in adult dermal fibroblasts restored their function and increased resistance to Staphylococcus aureus infection by enhancing their adipogenic and antimicrobial capabilities.

This study suggests that reversible hypopigmentation in homocystinuric patients may result from tyrosinase inhibition by homocyst(e)ine, with in-vitro experiments showing copper sulfate reversing this inhibition.

The researchers reported that thymosin beta 4 promotes hair growth in various rat and mice models by influencing follicle stem cell growth, migration, and differentiation.

In this study, researchers identified and examined males with 17 beta-HSD3 deficiency in a highly inbred Arab population, noting genetic findings and the progression of male characteristics despite being raised as females initially.

This study identified a compound heterozygous mutation in the 3 beta-HSD gene that confirmed inherited 3 beta-HSD deficiency in a Pakistani child with salt-wasting congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

This study found that mushroom beta-glucans combined with radiation therapy may help control tumor growth and reduce metastasis in mice with Lewis lung carcinoma.

This study suggests that thymosin beta 4 may regulate hair growth by influencing VEGF and MMP-2 levels through the Wnt/β-catenin/Lef-1 signaling pathway in mouse models.

This study found that thymosin beta-4 overexpression in mice increased hair growth speed and density, likely by regulating P38/ERK/AKT signaling through VEGF expression.

This study showed that coexpression of TG2 and Gbx1 in the epidermis is necessary for esophagus-like mucosal transdifferentiation, with TGF-beta2 in the dermis essential for the process through epithelial-mesenchymal interaction.

In this study, the researchers found distinct patterns of TGF-beta 1 and IGF-II expression in pig fetal subcutaneous tissue, suggesting specific regulatory roles in developing adipocytes and muscle tissue.

This study found that spironolactone reduced androgenic hormones in hirsute women but had only marginal effects on hair growth, making it no more advisable than other therapies.

This review suggests systemic changes in polycystic ovary syndrome may increase the risk of neurodegeneration, potentially linking it to Alzheimer's disease through common pathways affecting tryptophan metabolism.

This study reviews evidence that in keloid development, transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) drives fibroblast proliferation and fibrosis not only through the classical Smad-dependent pathway but also via equally important Smad-independent signaling cascades, suggesting these pathways as possible targets for more effective keloid therapies.

In this study, researchers observed increased hormone levels such as testosterone and LH in both obese and non-obese women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, but concluded that the enzyme 3βHSD shows poor diagnostic value for PCOS compared to healthy women.

In this case-control study, the researchers found that human beta-defensin 1 concentration was not a significant predictor of alopecia areata susceptibility or severity.

This study in mice suggests that defects in hair follicles with mesenchymal TSC2 disruption may result from an impaired TGFβ1 response, indicating a potential novel treatment approach for tuberous sclerosis complex.

This study found that activating Wnt/beta-catenin signaling in hair follicles is sufficient to induce adipocyte generation in the dermis, affecting both hair follicle stem cell activation and adipocyte differentiation.

This study investigated vitamin D receptor expression in normal hair follicles and those affected by alopecia areata, focusing on various markers using immunohistochemical staining.
