In this study, researchers found that alopecia areata is linked to immune cell activation against hair follicle autoantigens and is associated with heart changes and cardiac marker alterations in humans and mice.

This research suggests that plucked hair follicles may serve as a reliable surrogate tissue for tumor biopsies in drug development, based on a mouse model linking hair and tumor pharmacodynamic responses.

This study found that distinct isoenzymes of 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase are expressed in human adrenals and gonads compared to the placenta and skin.

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 study developed a reliable and convenient cell-based model to screen for type II 5α-reductase inhibitors, identifying Curcumae longae and Mori ramulus extracts as potential candidates.

This study examined noninvasive tissue samples, including buccal swabs, hair follicles, saliva, and urine cell pellets, and found hair follicles and urine cell pellets promising for transcriptomic and clinical analyses due to their sample quality and performance in disease-relevant applications.

This research investigated the role of EphA1 in embryonic and adult tissues, generating mouse models suggesting potential links to skin and colon cancer, sepsis, and post-traumatic injury.

This review concluded that corticosteroids improve muscle strength and function in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy over short-term periods, but evidence on prolonging walking ability remains insufficient, and side effects are common.

This study concluded that mesenchymal stem cells from adipose tissue harvested using laser-assisted liposuction with selective photo-stimulation are as effective and low-risk for cell therapy as those obtained through conventional liposuction, based on their differentiation potential, cellular proliferation, and cytokine expression.

In this study on mice, researchers observed that dermal white adipose tissue (dWAT) plays a key role in regulating skin inflammation and tissue repair; however, reduced expression of certain cytokines in obese mice may hinder these processes, indicating potential metabolic disruptions in dWAT during inflammation.

This study found that cytoplasmic nucleic acids significantly increase the expression of certain chemokines in human keratinocytes through NF-κB activation, though the specific receptors involved remain unidentified.

In this study, total Sry transcript expression in various rat tissues was linked to Acsl3 expression, suggesting that Sry may play a role in regulating fatty acid metabolism.

This review highlights the challenges in screening for steroid 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors and discusses significant variability in the effectiveness of finasteride and dutasteride, calling for standardized testing methods to develop safer, more specific inhibitors from herbal preparations.

Male hormones control a specific gene in hamster skin, with different hormones having varying effects.

The TGF-β family helps control how cells change and move, affecting skin, hair, and organ development.

This study found that 3D microtissue models of dermal papilla cells can enhance the ability to induce hair-follicle neogenesis in vivo, offering potential for controlled cell production in follicle regeneration.

This study identified a novel gene, hacl-1, that is specifically expressed in the hair follicles of ICR mouse skin and is associated with their active state.

This study identified a gene transcript overexpressed in dermal papilla cells, showing strong similarity to a mouse gene associated with adipose tissue in bombesin receptor subtype-3-deficient mice.

This dissertation reported that the loss of Ovol2 impairs hair follicle regeneration and wound repair in mice, highlighting its role in regulating directional migration of epithelial cells.

Myrtle has various health benefits and potential for medicine development.

This study found that hydroxysafflor yellow A-rich Carthamus tinctorius extract promoted hair growth and gene expression linked to hair proliferation in both cell cultures and mouse models.

This study concluded that the new subfractionation culturing method generates highly homogeneous adipose-derived stem cells with enhanced mitogenic, paracrine, and hair growth-promoting effects compared to traditional isolation methods.

In this study, activation of oncogenic K-ras in a mouse model caused the oral mucosa to rapidly progress from squamous hyperplasia to carcinoma within 14 days, demonstrating its acute sensitivity.

This study found that phosphorus and nitrogen deprivation increased root hair length in Brassica carinata and induced the expression of certain P-responsive genes, such as LRR and PRP.

This study identified a new type II cytokeratin, named K6hf, exclusively expressed in the companion layer of the human hair follicle, distinguishing it from other keratins and suggesting a unique biochemical role.

This study details the isolation and characterization of the human type II 5 alpha-reductase gene, which may play a role in male pseudohermaphroditism, prostate cancer, and benign prostatic hyperplasia.

This study identifies six novel keratin genes from the chromosome 17q21.2 region, suggesting their association with hair follicles, while all 27 keratin genes in the domain have been characterized transcriptionally.

This study reports that the mouse Scube3 gene is expressed in various tissues during embryonic development, including the neural tube, limb buds, developing tooth, hair follicle, and skeletal regions.

This study identified FP-1 as a highly specific extracellular matrix protein in follicular papilla cells, which may play a role in hair growth regulation during specific hair cycle phases.

This study observed that the OCIAD2 and DCN genes in Liaoning cashmere goats have opposite effects on hair growth by interacting with the TGF-β signaling pathway, influencing follicle morphogenesis and periodic changes.
