This study highlights the complex role of the vitamin D receptor in skin processes, where its disruption, along with calcium and co-regulator imbalances, could contribute to skin cancer development by altering skin differentiation and hair follicle cycling.

This study found that hair follicle homeostasis in mice requires vitamin D receptor expression in keratinocytes, independent of its ligand activation.

In this study, researchers identified the CBL1-CIPK26 Ca 2+ sensor-kinase complexes as key modulators of the NADPH oxidase RBOHC crucial for root hair differentiation in plants.

This study investigated a gelatin-based bioink for 3D bioprinting a simplified skin model, finding that a formulation with 15% gelatin and 150 mM calcium chloride supported a homogeneous distribution of viable cells over 14 days, showing promise for drug evaluation applications.

This case report describes a 34-year-old woman who, after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery, experienced improvements in symptoms of dizziness and energy following treatment with oral ferrous sulfate for iron deficiency.

This study described the clinical and genetic features of two Iranian siblings with hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets, identifying a specific VDR gene mutation contributing to their symptoms.

In this study involving genetically modified rats, researchers observed that specific mutations in the vitamin D receptor affect calcium levels and bone formation, emphasizing the receptor's role in maintaining healthy bone density and its importance in regulating hair cycle and skin health.

NFATc1 controls hair stem cell activity, affecting hair growth and could be a target for hair loss treatments.

This study suggests that trichohyalin is modified by peptidyl-arginine deiminase before being cross-linked by TGase 3, allowing the formation of rigid structures in hair follicle cells.

This study identified new genes and compounds affecting hair cell survival during ototoxin exposure using the zebrafish model, potentially aiding in understanding and preventing hearing loss and balance disorders in humans.

This study found that calcium and all-trans retinoic acid affect the proliferation and differentiation of goat hair matrix cells, which are essential for cashmere growth research.

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 source reports that for treating keloids and hypertrophic scars, combination pharmacotherapy targeting multiple sites is generally more effective than using a single drug, though outcomes of individual therapies vary and the development of satisfying treatments is ongoing.

This consensus statement discusses guidelines for screening, diagnosing, and treating the Female Athlete Triad, and introduces a risk stratification system to assist healthcare providers with sports participation decisions.

This study found that the hairless gene product (Hr) suppresses VDR-mediated gene activation by directly interacting with the vitamin D receptor, potentially affecting hair follicle function.

This article compares two rare genetic diseases, vitamin D-dependent rickets type 1 and type 2, focusing on their similar presentations of hypocalcemia and rickets in infancy, but reports no new clinical results.

This study identified heterozygous mutations in the ABCC9 gene as the genetic basis of Cantú syndrome, suggesting the syndrome as a new member of potassium channelopathies.

This review examines nutritional deficiencies after bariatric surgery, particularly in essential minerals like zinc and copper, and highlights the need for more research to improve post-surgery nutritional outcomes.

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.

Phospholipase Cδ1 is crucial for normal skin and hair development.

This study identified a subtype of itch-sensing neurons in mice, which express Ret and somatostatin, and found that their ablation reduces scratching induced by certain pruritogens.

This study found that overexpression of the intercellular adhesion protein Necl2 in hair follicle stem cells was associated with reduced cell proliferation and delayed wound healing in both cultured cells and transgenic mice.

This consensus paper reviews expert opinions on treating telogen effluvium but reports no new clinical findings.

This study observed that individuals with premature hair graying had lower levels of certain serum nutrients and lifestyle factors like stress and smoking may contribute; hair oiling appeared protective.

This study highlights the role of Orai1 in ameloblast differentiation and maturation, showing that its down-regulation affects cell proliferation and enamel formation during tooth development.

This case report observed that while a 4-year-old boy with vitamin D-dependent rickets type II showed biochemical and bone improvement after vitamin D and calcium treatment, his alopecia did not improve.

This review discusses the development of human skin with a focus on desmosomes, noting the challenges of translating animal model findings to humans due to species differences and limited human sample access.

In this study, sandalore was found to activate OR2AT4, which inhibits senescent cell traits and restores proliferation in human keratinocytes, suggesting potential anti-aging applications.

This study found that hair follicle mesenchymal stem cells are similar to bone marrow stem cells in most characteristics, but differ in their adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation capabilities, suggesting they may be a suitable source for adipogenesis research.

This review discusses the similarities between myotonic dystrophy and aging, highlighting the role of cellular senescence in its pathophysiology, and reports no new clinical findings; the authors note potential anti-aging therapy applications.
