This study found that targeting the molecule Midkine may reduce pain and itching in keloid patients by inhibiting specific Schwann cell activities contributing to these symptoms.

The demineralized bone matrix scaffold is better for cell attachment than the mineralized bone allograft.

This study found that an SNP in the FGFR2 gene, rs4752566, was significantly associated with hair thickness in Asian populations, suggesting an effect on hair morphology through altered FGFR2 expression levels.

This study found significant changes in gene and protein expression related to hair follicle development in Rex rabbits' skin during the first 8 weeks of life.

This perspective discusses Villani et al.'s findings on the role of the IGF regulatory protein Igfbp2 in basal cell carcinogenesis and highlights potential therapeutic and preventive targets, while raising questions about the cell of origin.

This study demonstrated that a ligand-independent action of the vitamin D receptor significantly affects keratinocyte behavior in hair follicles and skin, pointing to its crucial role in maintaining normal hair and skin structures in rats.

This study found that disrupting Sdf1-Cxcr4 signaling promoted tissue regeneration in wild-type mice, hinting at potential strategies to induce such regeneration in mammals.

This case report identifies a novel CDH3 gene mutation associated with hypotrichosis with juvenile macular dystrophy in a 13-year-old Turkish girl, highlighting implications for future genetic analysis and counseling.

In this study, mice engineered to express human EGFR showed tissue-specific growth defects and neurodegeneration rescue, but developed severe heart issues and accelerated bone cell differentiation.

This study reported that a 1% procyanidin B-2 tonic increased hair diameter and density in men with male pattern baldness, suggesting it may be a potential treatment option.

This study found that transgenic mice overexpressing the BMP antagonist noggin showed increased hair follicle size and altered hair type, linked to changes in cell proliferation and gene expression.

In this study, early prenatal treatment with Minoxidil, a lysyl hydroxylase inhibitor, partly improved cardiac outflow tract septation in Tbx1 mutant mice, suggesting that inhibiting collagen cross-linking may mitigate some effects of Tbx1 mutation associated with DiGeorge syndrome.

This study suggests that fibroblast growth factors FGF-4, FGF-8, and FGF-9 may play redundant roles as signals in epithelial-mesenchymal interactions during multiple stages of tooth development in mice.

In this case report, a 6-year-old male with biotinidase deficiency experienced marked improvement in dermatological symptoms, including alopecia and periorificial lesions, following biotin treatment.

This study found differential expression of growth factors and cytokines in umbilical cord blood-derived platelet-rich plasma, with the highest concentrations observed in the B blood type, but also noted weak correlations with ABO blood groups, suggesting other influencing factors.

This article reviews the case of a patient diagnosed with basal cell nevus syndrome and reports no new research findings.

This study found that the Wnt inhibitor Dkk4 may play a role in regulating hair follicle development through a feedback loop with canonical Wnt signaling pathways.

This study found that bone marrow-derived epithelial cells were abundantly recruited to some skin tumors in mice, indicating a systemic contribution to cutaneous neoplasms.

In this study, researchers developed a mouse model of scarring alopecia and observed significant reductions in CD200R expression in affected skin, potentially linking this signaling pathway to immune attacks on hair follicles and suggesting new treatment targets for scarring hair loss.

This study found that PDGF-D acts as a potent mitogenic factor in adipose-derived stem cells, enhancing their proliferation, migration, and growth factor expression, suggesting its use as a preconditioning agent for ASC transplantation.

CaBP1 and CaBP2 are important for continuous hearing by preventing inactivation of calcium currents in ear cells, with CaBP2 also able to restore hearing when reintroduced.

This study found that the transcription factor HB24 plays a critical role in root hair elongation in Arabidopsis thaliana by promoting the conversion of indole-3-butyric acid to indole-3-acetic acid through regulation of IBR1 expression.

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.

This paper reviews the emerging role of FGF-7 signaling in hair regeneration, highlighting its potential as a target for new therapies despite limited clinical trial data.

This study found that mice lacking REDD1 experienced an expansion of dermal white adipose tissue through both hypertrophy and hyperplasia, suggesting a potential therapeutic target for skin adipogenesis regulation.

A young boy's uncombable hair is due to a rare genetic condition that usually improves over time.

This study reports for the first time on the expression patterns of Id2 and Id3 proteins in developing hair follicles, suggesting a significant role for these proteins in hair follicle development and epithelial-mesenchymal interactions.

This study found that while Eda and Edar proteins interact in vitro, their roles in dental development differ, with downless mutant mice showing distinct tooth defects compared to tabby mutants.

This study identified key genes and pathways involved in the growth and development of forest musk deer hair follicles, providing insights into molecular regulation and laying groundwork for future research on related diseases.

This study concluded that using human umbilical cord blood mononuclear cells transfected with VEGF and FGF2 genes enhances skin wound healing in rats, demonstrating greater wound revascularization compared to controls.
