In this clinical case report, a man with Birt Hogg Dube syndrome presented with parathyroid cancer, the first such case according to the authors, highlighting a potential link between Folliculin gene mutations and parathyroid cancer development.

This study found that BBS7 downregulation in occlusal hypofunctional periodontal ligament tissue is associated with reduced Sonic hedgehog signaling activity, potentially playing a key role in maintaining PDL homeostasis.

In this study, basal cell carcinoma developed in Ptch-deficient mice only after chemical treatment, not skin wounding, suggesting a second unknown event is necessary for tumor formation.

This study reports that BMP2 expression in goat skin is higher during late telogen and early anagen phases, indicating a potential role in hair follicle regeneration.

This study found that BAF200, a subunit of the PBAF chromatin remodeling complex, is crucial for heart development and coronary artery formation in mice, as its absence led to embryonic lethality with severe cardiac defects.

This study found that BMP signaling is involved in regulating melanogenesis, pigment transfer, and melanocyte migration, contributing to our understanding of skin pigmentation mechanisms.

This study found that Sox2 and BMP signaling may be key regulators of pigmentation and melanocyte migration, as suggested by experiments in mice, human biopsies, and cell co-cultures.

This study found that Raman spectroscopy has potential for detecting biophysical differences in basal cell carcinoma compared to normal skin structures, supporting its future use in Mohs surgery.

This study found that BMP-2 activates Dlx3 gene transcription in murine keratinocytes by binding with Smad1/Smad4, suggesting a mechanism for BMP signaling's role in skin and hair follicle regulation.

This study found that KSR1 is essential for v-Ha-ras-mediated skin tumor formation in mice but not for MT-driven mammary tumor genesis, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic target in Ras/MAPK signaling.

This review discusses the role of BMP/Wnt signaling in regulating stem cell homeostasis and activation but reports no new experimental findings.

This study demonstrated that the Epidermal Biopotential Sensing System (EBSS) can measure digital biomarkers of pain in mice, suggesting potential applications in assessing pain and screening analgesics in populations with communication difficulties.

In this study, researchers found that basal cell carcinomas with common Hedgehog signaling mutations may require additional mutations to hyperactivate downstream signaling and progress beyond dormancy.

This review summarizes the roles of bone morphogenetic proteins in the development and regulation of normal and diseased skin, but it does not provide new clinical results.

This study found that injecting bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells and conditioned medium into mice promoted hair follicle stem cell proliferation and transition to active growth phases, suggesting potential clinical targets for hair loss treatment.

This article describes how a new blood glucose management service at the NIH Clinical Center improved safety and patient outcomes for hospitalized patients with diabetes.

This study found that weekly low-dose bicalutamide was safe and appeared to be associated with high-grade PIN remission and favorable PSA modulation in subjects with persistently elevated PSA but negative biopsy.

In this study, Boswellia administration improved symptoms of DNCB-induced dermatitis in mice and altered hair-related gene expressions, which might positively affect hair cycle disturbances caused by dermatitis.

This study found that using an oral contraceptive with bicalutamide significantly reduced hirsutism in women with PCOS compared to an oral contraceptive alone, although it increased total cholesterol and LDL levels.

This study reported the development of a workflow that combines SIMS and X-ray elemental mapping techniques for multimodal imaging at the single cell level, successfully applied to visualize elements, metals, and lipids in porcine skin without loss or delocalization.

This study introduces a novel image enhancement method that significantly improves the visual quality of low-light sports images by utilizing improved bilateral filtering and the CLAHE algorithm, achieving a 65.24% improvement in color and edge detail preservation compared to state-of-the-art methods on the LOL dataset.

This case report documents a 63-year-old with Birt-Hogg-Dubé Syndrome who developed choroidal melanoma alongside multiple lid folliculomas, marking the first known association of these conditions.

In this study, silencing BMAL1 and PER1 genes increased melanogenic activity in follicular and epidermal melanocytes, suggesting that peripheral circadian clocks may regulate melanin pigmentation.

This study reveals that basement membrane composition and structure in mouse hair follicles are specialized for distinct inter-tissue interactions, with laminin α5 being essential for maintaining these interfaces.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome in South India had higher body mass index, waist/hip ratio, and elevated levels of several hormones compared to controls, and waist/hip ratio may be a better risk indicator than body mass index.

In this study, transgenic mice with active BMPR1A signaling in the epidermis had impaired hair follicle morphogenesis and showed age-related hair loss, implicating BMP signaling in hair follicle development and homeostasis.

This study explored the relationship between BMI percentiles and clinical severity in pediatric patients with different hemoglobin genotypes, finding significant BMI differences and associations with pain frequency, particularly noting that patients with HbSS experienced more pain than those with HbSC.

In this study, researchers demonstrated that the expression of the oncogene SmoM2 leads to basal cell carcinoma in the ear epidermis of mice but not in the back skin, with differences in susceptibility linked to the composition of the extracellular matrix.

This study found that combining hair transplantation with platelet-rich plasma led to significantly better outcomes, such as reduced hair loss area and increased hair regeneration, compared to hair transplantation alone in patients with androgenic alopecia.

This study found that female students aged 18-21 with PCOS had higher weight compared to those without, though their BMI remained in the normal range.
