This study found that oral administration of finasteride to pregnant rats caused dosage-related developmental toxicities, including hypospadias and decreased anogenital distance in male offspring.

This study found that the methanol extract of Eclipta alba showed dose-dependent hair growth promoting activity in pigmented C57/BL6 mice by influencing the transition from the telogen to anagen phase.

In this study, the aqueous extract of Eclipta alba and its hydrolyzed fraction showed nootropic activity and reduced stress-induced alterations in rats.

This study found that prenatal exposure to finasteride in rats led to permanent changes in developmental endpoints like anogenital distance and nipple retention, which were predictive of further reproductive tract malformations.

The authors concluded that the dermal response to epidermal Wnt/β-catenin signaling depends on distinct fibroblast lineages, with each responding to different paracrine signals such as Hedgehog and TGF-β.

In this study, researchers identified novel LMNA mutations in patients with atypical progeroid syndrome, revealing clinical features distinct from other similar disorders, but unrelated to mutant prelamin A accumulation.

This study found that stress increases the number of peptidergic nerve fibers and mast cell activity in mouse skin, suggesting a significant neuro-immune interaction under stress.

This study suggests that nerve growth factor plays a crucial role in the stress-induced termination of hair growth in mice, and its antagonism might offer a therapeutic approach to mitigate stress-related hair loss.

This study identified a distinct "exogen" phase in the hair cycle during which hair shedding occurs, primarily coupled with the anagen phase, rather than as part of the telogen phase.

This study found that skin-derived precursor cells in mice can originate from both neural crest and somite lineages but show functional similarities regardless of their developmental origins.

This article explores the potential of formyl-peptide receptor 2 agonists as innovative anti-inflammatory drugs, highlighting their ability to mimic the body's natural inflammation response, but it presents no new clinical findings.

In this study, sequences upstream of the TGM3 gene were found to regulate epithelial-specific gene expression in keratinocytes, suggesting potential applications in gene therapy.

This study found that CRISPR/Cas9-mediated disruption of the FGF5 gene in goats increased hair follicle numbers and fiber length, suggesting more cashmere production could be achieved.

This review discusses the multifactorial etiology of hypospadias, including genetic predispositions and possible environmental factors, and highlights the need for further studies on genetic and environmental contributions to its increasing prevalence, without presenting new findings.

This study found that overexpression of miR-214 in keratinocytes inhibits hair follicle development and cycling by targeting β-catenin in the Wnt signaling pathway.

This study found that a mutation in the BMP12/GDF7 gene is associated with the Naked neck trait in chickens, reducing neck feathering due to altered signaling pathways.

This study found that human hair follicles express ATP-sensitive potassium channels, suggesting that minoxidil acts on these channels and that drugs targeting them may treat hair disorders.

This study found that maternal PPARγ is essential for preventing the production of inflammatory lipids in mouse milk, which can otherwise cause inflammation, alopecia, and growth retardation in nursing pups.

This study reported that 4D-printed, aliphatic polycarbonate-based scaffolds supported adipose tissue engineering by allowing adipocyte infiltration and neovascularization in vivo, indicating potential for effective adipose tissue repair.

This review reports on the dual aspect of fullerene in skincare, highlighting its beneficial antioxidant properties as well as potential toxicity and skin cell reactions, while identifying areas for future research.

This review discusses the molecular mechanisms of androgens and androgen receptors in skin disorders, particularly androgenetic alopecia, and reports no new clinical results; it highlights potential areas for future treatment development.

This study found that SARS-CoV-2 hijacks the host factor IGF2BP1 to stabilize its RNA and enhance translation, and identified Cepharanthine and Trifluoperazine as potential treatments against the virus.

This study found that cystatin M/E strongly inhibits human cathepsin V and cathepsin L via distinct non-overlapping sites, suggesting an important role in human epidermal differentiation and hair follicle morphogenesis.

This review explores the hormonal regulation of hair growth and changes with season, age, and sexual development, and calls for improved treatments for hair disorders.

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 identified a cluster of genes on chromosome 17 related to hair keratin-associated proteins, including 37 genes forming seven multigene families, localized in the hair shaft's upper cortex.

This study found that midazolam, unlike clonazepam, increased neurosteroid levels and affected synaptic inhibition and plasticity in rat hippocampal neurons, suggesting unique actions via dual receptor activation.

This study found that mice with a mutant CDP/Cux protein lacking the homeodomain showed severely impaired growth, high postnatal mortality, and reduced fertility, highlighting CDP/Cux's role in developmental regulation.

This study identified WNT10A as crucial for adult epithelial cell proliferation and differentiation, suggesting β-catenin pathway activation may help address regenerative defects in WNT10A mutation patients.

This review discusses various stem cell compartments in adult murine and human epidermis, examining their expressed markers and characterization assays, and reports no new experimental results.
