This study found that modulating BMP activity in transgenic mice affects the development and characteristics of several ectodermal organs, such as skin, hair, and claws, highlighting a stage-dependent influence on organogenesis.

This review explores the role of TGF-β superfamily pathways in stem cell environments and their implications for tissue regeneration and cancer development, reporting no new experimental results.

In this study, researchers investigated the genetic basis of the feathered foot trait in Guangxi native chickens and found that the gene TBX5 plays a critical role, suggesting it affects feather formation by regulating the proliferation and migration of dermal fibroblasts.

This case report describes a 53-year-old woman with a rare presentation of trichostasis spinulosa on her breast and abdomen, featuring itchy, comedo-like lesions. Dermoscopy revealed diagnostic features that may eliminate the need for a biopsy, highlighting the potential for non-invasive diagnosis in such cases.

This study observed that human skin exhibits acute and chronic histological changes due to tick bites, including inflammation and changes in hair follicles, influenced by tick saliva and possible infections.

Finasteride significantly reduced tics and obsessive-compulsive symptoms in Tourette syndrome patients.

The researchers developed semi-dissolving microneedle patches using TEMPO-oxidized bacterial cellulose nanofibers, which allow effective transdermal drug delivery by forming micro-channels for large drug quantities, overcoming traditional microneedles' low drug loading.

In this study, thymosin beta4 was found to stimulate hair growth in normal rats and mice by affecting key processes in the hair follicle cycle, such as stem cell migration and extracellular matrix remodeling.

This study found that "micro skin tissue columns" improved wound healing by enhancing re-epithelialization, collagen deposition, dermal remodeling, and reducing inflammation without causing long-term donor site morbidity.

This study found that ureteroileal anastomosis with direct intraluminal visualization had a 4.2% stricture rate, which compares favorably to other techniques with rates between 3.5% and 11.1%.

In this study, the 40-MBR system was shown to enhance drug-screening efficiency by providing reliable, real-time monitoring of cell conditions in 3-D cultures compared to traditional methods.

This case report describes a 50-year-old man with folliculotropic mycosis fungoides stage IB, noting trichoscopic findings like dilated follicular openings, black dots, and dystrophic hairs, which are less commonly documented in this condition, suggesting trichoscopy could aid in early diagnosis.

This article discusses triangular temporal alopecia, highlighting dermoscopy's role in diagnosis and the limited therapeutic options, without reporting new clinical results.

Bulge progenitor cells show promise for regenerating hair follicles and increasing hair density.

This study found that intrauterine administration of botulinum toxin A improved endometrial environment and receptivity in a murine model of thin endometrium through mechanisms involving IGFBP3 and osteopontin.

This report describes two cases of toe tourniquet syndrome in infants, highlighting the importance for pediatric orthopedic practitioners to diagnose and manage it promptly, suggesting a specific incision method to release hair strangulation if removal is challenging.

This study found that in Liaoning cashmere goats, the BMP4 gene shows increased transcription from the anagen stage to telogen, and higher gene methylation correlates with reduced expression in skin tissue.

This review discusses the various therapeutic uses of Botulinum Toxin Type A and reports high levels of patient satisfaction with minimal adverse effects across several conditions, emphasizing its potential therapeutic importance.

This article discusses the complex role of TGFβ in cancer progression, highlighting its dual function as both a tumor suppressor in early stages and a promoter in later stages, without reporting new results.

This study found that the mitotic arrest deficient protein MAD2B negatively affects TCF4-induced growth and proliferation of dermal papilla cells, which are vital for hair follicle development.

This review discusses photobiomodulation as a potential treatment for hair loss, highlighting its safety and possible effectiveness but noting cost, protocol standardization, and expectation management as limitations; it reports no new clinical results.

This case report describes a Thai male with TRPS1 who exhibited unique and unreported features such as hypoplastic mandibular condyles, double mental foramina, and distinctive hair abnormalities.

This study found that vinblastine treatment rapidly increased platelet counts in childhood refractory immune thrombocytopenia, providing effective control of bleeding symptoms, although side effects like neuropathic pain were common and resolved with dose adjustments.

This review discusses various treatment options for lower urinary tract symptoms in men, including behavioral, pharmacologic, and surgical interventions, and reports no new clinical results; the authors emphasize first-line therapy with behavioral and pharmacologic approaches.

This article contains no abstract or new findings.

In this study, sirolimus treatment reduced the size of venous malformations and improved anemia, transfusion dependence, and quality of life in patients with blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome, though mild adverse effects were reported.

This review discusses the non-cosmetic uses of botulinum neurotoxin A, including its effectiveness for idiopathic hyperhidrosis and potential use for androgenic alopecia, and reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight the need for more clinical trials.

This article discusses trichotillomania and trichoteiromania, focusing on their clinical presentation, main trichoscopic features, and similarities in hair loss patterns but reports no new research findings.

This study found that α-spinasterol treatment significantly reduced testosterone propionate-induced prostatic hyperplasia in rats, suggesting potential benefits for managing benign prostatic hyperplasia.
