This article reviews the role of KLF4, a transcription factor, in various cellular processes and its dual function as a tumor suppressor or oncogene depending on the context, but presents no new experimental results.

This study identifies Armadillo Repeat Only proteins as crucial regulators of plant CNGC channels, influencing various plant functions and showcasing a unique plant-specific role in Ca2+ signaling.

In this study on Arabidopsis, the researchers identified CIPK13 and CIPK18 as crucial genes for root hair growth, finding that deficiencies in these genes resulted in shorter root hairs and reduced growth rates due to altered calcium oscillations.

This study identified and characterized a gene called 4C32, which is expressed in the periderm of embryonic mouse skin and has a structure similar to keratin-associated proteins.

In this study, it was observed that NIPAL4 mutations linked to autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis lead to abnormal skin barrier function due to cytotoxic effects disrupting lipid structure and organization, which topical treatments only partially ameliorated.

This study found that calmodulin 7 (CaM7) inhibits the calcium channel CNGC14 in root hairs, affecting their polar growth by controlling calcium signaling.

This study found that mice deficient in ceramide synthase 4 showed altered sebum composition and progressive hair loss due to obstructed hair canals.

In this mouse study, the absence of the Ascl4 gene did not affect the development of hair follicles, teeth, or mammary glands, suggesting it is non-essential for these processes.

In this study, researchers found that significant transcriptomic changes occur in the skin of Dezhou donkey foals as they age from newborns to one year old, involving gene expression shifts that may enhance skin barrier function and hair follicle development, while reducing collagen synthesis.

Dark skin has stronger barriers and structure due to specific gene activity.

Brepocitinib improves cicatricial alopecia and reduces key immune markers.

This study suggests that the phenotype of melasma in women is influenced by structural and cellular changes across the epidermal-melanin unit, not just melanocyte hypertrophy, highlighting potential roles for dermal damage repair and fibroblast senescence.

This review discusses the structure, expression, regulation, and potential functions of the nuclear receptor coactivator NcoA4 in cancerous and non-cancerous pathologies, but reports no new results.

This study found that camphor and similar compounds depress neural activity in rat mechanoreceptors, suggesting that their effects may not be mediated through TRP channels.

In this study, CTCF was found to play essential roles in epidermal differentiation and skin barrier formation, simultaneously acting as a suppressor of epithelial inflammatory responses in mouse skin.

Estetrol may help prevent hair loss and support hair growth in women.

Ceramide Synthase 4 is crucial for healthy skin barrier function.

A feedback loop between LRH and RSL4 controls root hair growth in Arabidopsis.

This review discusses new developments in understanding the structure and properties of keratin fiber cell membrane complexes, without reporting new experimental results.

This article presents a protocol for using mouse tail skin to study hair follicle stem cells, enabling visualization of calcium signaling and other cellular features in various conditions but reports no new research data.

In this study, cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) treatment in human hair follicle dermal papilla cells was associated with increased intracellular calcium retention and activated anagen-related signaling without causing significant cytotoxicity, indicating its potential impact on hair growth processes.

This study discovered that calcium dependent protein kinase 1 (CPK1) directly activates cyclic nucleotide-gated channels 5, 6, and 9, promoting root hair growth in Arabidopsis by regulating Ca²⁺ signaling.

This study suggests that the cell membrane complex in hair cuticles contains hydrophilic regions with disulfide bonds allowing polymer uptake and hydrophobic lamella-like lipid layers.

This review discusses the role of the TRPV4 channel in skin physiology and pathology, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target for skin disorders, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that PLDζ2 and NPC4 enzymes play distinct roles in lipid remodeling and root hair growth in Arabidopsis under phosphate deficiency, influencing root hair density and length in a tissue- and time-specific manner.

This study identifies cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) as a key extracellular matrix component in human hair follicle cycling, potentially regulated by TGFβ signaling, and suggests its importance in normal hair follicle biology.

In this study, the authors reported that AtRXR3, a phosphorus-inducible DUF506 protein, modulates root hair growth under phosphorus stress by interacting with calmodulin and influencing calcium oscillations.

The document describes a method for preparing hair for microscopy by embedding it in plastic, cutting it, and storing it cold before imaging.
