This review explains the mechanical composition and molecular interactions that determine hair's mechanical properties, without providing any new experimental findings.

This study developed a new method to analyze Cantú syndrome mutations in KATP channels, finding that while Kir6.1 mutations increase sensitivity to potassium channel openers, SUR2B mutations show reduced sensitivity, but both result in marked hyperpolarization compared to wild-type channels under basal conditions.

This study demonstrates that α-parvin is crucial for epidermal morphogenesis and hair follicle development by mediating integrin-dependent adhesion and actin organization in keratinocytes.

This review discusses the mechanisms governing epidermal stem and progenitor cell differentiation, emphasizing the balance necessary for maintaining skin barrier function, and reports no new experimental findings.

This review reports that transcriptional and epigenetic mechanisms in epithelial stem cells guide their fate in the epidermis and hair follicles, crucial for skin homeostasis, but disruptions can lead to disease.

This review outlines the current understanding of how pH contributes to root hair development and reports no new experimental findings.

This review discusses the role of reactive oxygen species in regulating oscillating apoplastic pH gradients and growth in plant root hairs and pollen tubes, reporting no new experimental results.

This study found that aligned electrospinning membranes enhance skin wound healing by upregulating MMP12 expression and inhibiting fibroblast migration, which results in reduced scar formation, providing valuable insights for developing more effective biological dressings.

This study found that elastin-like recombinamer (ELR) wound dressings promote tissue regeneration and stability without rejection in ex vivo and in vivo models, indicating potential for hard-to-heal wound treatment.

A woman with X-linked chronic granulomatous disease developed lupus-like skin lesions, improved with treatment, suggesting a unique skin condition in carriers.

This review discusses epigenetic mechanisms in tissue repair across species and summarizes recent CRISPR-based technologies as promising tools for studying and enhancing tissue regeneration, but reports no new experimental results.
