This study found that a positive feedback loop involving RHD2, reactive oxygen species, and calcium ions helps maintain root hair growth sites and influences cell shape in Arabidopsis thaliana.

This study focuses on improving the detection and characterization of an enzyme in guinea pig hair follicles that converts arginine to citrulline, highlighting challenges with assay sensitivity and reproducibility.

This study found that human keratinocytes' sensitivity and response to vitamin D3 analogues vary based on cell density, serum availability, and calcium concentration.

This review summarizes a 15-year collaboration on the role of synaptic-like vesicles in mechanosensory nerve terminals and suggests potential therapeutic implications for conditions like hypertension and muscle spasticity.

This study confirms that zebrafish engineered with Cantú Syndrome mutations in ABCC9 and KCNJ8 genes exhibit gain-of-function characteristics in their cardiovascular KATP channels, similar to mammalian counterparts.

This review discusses the potential benefits of myo-inositol supplementation for insulin resistance-related disorders and diabetic complications, but reports no new clinical results.

Minoxidil boosts hair growth by targeting adenosine and possibly sulfonylurea receptor 2B.

This study discusses the potential of targeting 11β-HSD1 for treating metabolic syndrome and highlights emerging promising data from human trials on selective 11β-HSD1 inhibitors.

The study found that social isolation in mice increases the sensitivity of their hippocampal synapses to ethanol's inhibitory effects on long-term potentiation, an effect preventable by finasteride.

This study suggests that mammalian hair follicles may serve as a viable and non-invasive system for diagnosing traumatic brain injury, reflecting similar molecular responses observed in other tissues.

Men with early balding should be checked for metabolic syndrome, as there's a link between the two.

This review discusses the expanding understanding of TRPV3's role in pain and skin pathology, while highlighting the need for further pharmacological research to fully resolve its functions.

In this retrospective study, cyproterone acetate treatment in late-pubertal trans-girls was found to be generally safe and led to mild feminizing effects, with more rapid feminization occurring when combined with estrogens.

This study reported that microparticle-loaded emulsions containing caffeic acid achieved more homogeneous distribution and prolonged release in hair follicles, suggesting potential for effective folliculitis treatment.

This study found that taxol induces apoptosis in dermal papilla cells, affecting protein expression related to biological processes and potentially contributing to taxol-induced alopecia.

This study observes the expression of mRNA for androgen receptor, 5α‐reductase, and 17β‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in human dermal papilla cells.

In this study, researchers observed that knocking out KCNQ3 in mice increased firing frequencies in response to stimuli, particularly at slow mechanical indentation velocities, indicating a role in mechanosensory neuron sensitivity.

This study found that various reduced folates effectively penetrated an in vitro skin model, promoted cell proliferation and migration, and may enhance wound healing, suggesting potential for topical treatment in skin conditions.

In this study, researchers identified the PLD-mGluR protein in primary mechanosensory terminals as the homomeric GluK2 kainate receptor, functioning purely metabotropically, which is suggested to be common to various sensory endings.

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.

In this study, researchers showed that the CAP1 gene regulates root hair growth in plants by modulating cytoplasmic ammonium levels and maintaining calcium gradients, highlighting its role in ammonium homeostasis.

This review discusses the therapeutic potential of Smoothened modulators for cancer treatment and explores their pharmacological implications, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that TRPV3 ion channels on human epidermal keratinocytes suppress cell proliferation, induce cell death, and trigger a proinflammatory response, suggesting a role in cutaneous inflammatory processes.

This study discusses the potential association between low vitamin D levels and insulin resistance, suggesting that vitamin D deficiency may contribute to disorders like obesity and diabetes, but emphasizes the need for further research to confirm these links.

In this study, researchers found that coordinated intercellular Ca2+ signaling among basal stem cells in mice is crucial for cell cycle progression and tissue-wide communication during epidermal regeneration.

This narrative review on inositol use in PCOS treatment found positive results for myo-inositol alone and effective outcomes for a myo-inositol/D-chiro inositol combination at a 40:1 ratio, suggesting further research on other combinations like 66:1 to 100:1.

In this study, researchers found that a scallop adhesive protein (Sbp9 Δ) forms strong adhesive coatings via disulfide-sticker strategies, which also promote hair regeneration in mouse models by activating Wnt signaling and enhancing angiogenesis, proving more effective than minoxidil for androgenetic alopecia.

This study found that endothelin produced by hair follicle progenitors activates contractions in dermal sheath cells, facilitating hair follicle regression in the growth cycle.

This study found that TRPA1-deficient mice exhibited normal cold sensitivity but had decreased mechanical response in nociceptors, suggesting TRPA1's role in mechanotransduction.

This study found that neonatal administration of finasteride reduced sensitivity to alcohol's motor-stimulating effects and increased preference for novelty and initial alcohol consumption in rats, suggesting a role in alcohol vulnerability.
