This review discusses the mechanisms of skin aging, highlighting the roles of stem/progenitor cells, genetic and environmental factors, and suggests potential for cell-based therapies, but reports no new experimental findings.

This review discusses the role of the androgen receptor in breast cancer diagnosis and treatment, and notes a lack of new research results on its therapeutic potential.

This review discusses various approaches to treating alopecia, including drug therapy and hair transplantation, but reports no new research findings; the authors highlight the need for novel techniques like cell culturing.

This study suggests that androgens enhance growth factor production in dermal fibroblasts, which in turn may alter keratinocyte differentiation and contribute to acne lesion formation.

This study indicates that the OVOL1-OVOL2 axis may play a significant role in hair follicle differentiation and growth, potentially serving as therapeutic targets for hair disorders like alopecia and in the tumorigenesis of pilomatricoma.

This study suggests that human embryonic stem cells may improve skin graft quality and functionality by enabling the identification and amplification of early ectodermal progenitors, pending confirmation from preclinical studies.

This study found that keratins 5, 7, 8, and 19 are expressed in human trophoblast cells while vimentin is solely expressed in stromal-mesenchymal cells, aiding in placental cell type identification.

This classification proposal introduces a novel system for categorizing cutaneous adnexal cysts based on their origin in the folliculosebaceous unit and sweat glands, aiming to simplify and enhance understanding of these skin lesions.

This study suggests that uncontrolled embryonic trichogenesis may play a role in the development of trichoblastoma in rabbits.

This study found that TGF-β1 expression in follicular tumors correlates with differentiation degree and suggests its potential role alongside p63 in differentiating between sebaceous and follicular tumors.

This study reports that a new protocol using Angio PRP improved wound healing in mice by enhancing key healing processes and regulating inflammation, suggesting potential for clinical advancements.

This study found that lineage-restricted loss of p63 in murine thymic epithelial cells resulted in severe thymic hypoplasia and absence of hair follicles, indicating p63's critical role in thymic and hair follicle development.

This overview examines the biology, origin, structure, and function of various cells and structures, such as the blood-retinal barrier and Merkel cells, and discusses their roles in disease pathogenesis, along with recent findings related to the lymph nodes' paracortex.

This study evaluated the effects of topical glucocorticoids on human skin using non-invasive imaging methods and observed changes such as alterations in skin layer thickness, keratinocyte size, and collagen and elastin signal intensity.

This case report describes a man with metastatic thymoma and diffuse pleural dissemination mimicking malignant mesothelioma, who also had alopecia areata without the presence of myasthenia gravis.

This study reports that a novel gain-of-function mutation in TMEM173, combined with polymorphisms in TMEM173 and IFIH1, results in a distinct clinical phenotype with features of SAVI, including alopecia and photosensitivity.

This study demonstrates that a novel autologous hair follicle-derived epithelial sheet can effectively repigment skin in patients with stable vitiligo, offering a potential new treatment option.

This study demonstrated that skin organoids derived from human stem cells can model cutaneous tuberculosis, revealing that fibrosis development in Mycobacterium tuberculosis-infected organoids is linked to the PI3K-AKT and AP1 pathways in fibroblasts, and suggesting the potential for antifibrotic treatment evaluation.

This study examined 16 sporadic trichoblastic tumors and found that although one showed malignant transformation, clinical follow-up revealed no residual or metastatic disease. RNA sequencing indicated a high tumor mutational burden and absence of a UV-related signature, helping to distinguish these tumors from similar growths.

The study introduced an advanced skin model, ImmuSkin-MT, which effectively distinguished between different strengths of skin sensitizers by mimicking the interaction of immune cells in skin tissue.

In this study, researchers used 3D bioprinting with skin stem cells and specific hydrogels to create artificial skin that successfully promoted complete wound healing and the regeneration of skin structures, including hair follicles and blood vessels, in mice.

This study found that AP-2α and AP-2β transcription factors are crucial for maintaining adult skin homeostasis, with their inactivation in keratinocytes leading to impaired differentiation, hair abnormalities, and inflammation, highlighting their key regulatory roles.

In this study, researchers found that the synthetic stress hormone dexamethasone caused opposite effects on hair growth-related proteins, reducing SFRP2 and increasing SFRP3, which respectively stimulate and inhibit hair follicle cell proliferation in human dermal papilla cells.

This study found that electrical epilation in organ-cultured human scalp skin perturbs hair follicles by causing inflammation, impairing melanin production, and possibly inhibiting post-epilation hair re-growth.

This article proposes a new classification system for cutaneous adnexal cysts based on their origin in the folliculo-sebaceous unit and sweat glands, aiming to clarify their categorization and origins.

This study identified the osteopontin-derived peptide, FOL-005, as a potential inhibitor of unwanted human hair growth by promoting catagen development without reducing stem cell numbers or showing toxicity.

This study observed that in an ex vivo setting, 17β-estradiol increased CB1 expression in human hair follicles, suggesting possible sensitivity to endocannabinoids and a potential mechanism for hair therapy.

The authors concluded that Lrig1-positive stem cells are essential for sebaceous gland formation in mice, as their ablation led to temporary sebaceous gland disappearance without affecting hair growth.

This study found that hyaluronic acid increased the size and cell proliferation of mixed aggregates in a 3D culture model, indicating its role in human hair follicle germ-like structure formation without enhancing dermal papilla cell markers.

This study found that dermal papilla cells exhibit stage-dependent variation in histone methylation during the hair follicle cycle and display distinct chromatin marker expression when transitioning to in vitro culture.
