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.

In this study, TENS of the T6 dermatome over a longer term was explored for its effects on weight, blood pressure, heart rate, and appetite-regulating hormones in obese subjects with moderate obstructive sleep apnea; however, results are not reported in the abstract.

This study suggests that targeting the increased expression of SIX1 in systemic sclerosis may be a viable strategy for addressing dermal fibrosis.

This study examined the molecular communication in psoriasis cells, highlighting unique immune cell interactions and identifying new features of the hair follicle cell-psoriasis axis. It suggests the potential for targeted therapies at the single-cell level to improve psoriasis treatment.

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.

This study constructed a comprehensive atlas of prenatal human skin, revealing that innate immune cells, such as macrophages, play a crucial role in skin morphogenesis by interacting with non-immune cells, influencing hair follicle formation and angiogenesis beyond their traditional immune functions.

This study found that VE-cadherin and Alk1, traditionally linked to vascular functions, also play crucial roles in maintaining nerve homeostasis in mice during hair growth cycles by modulating certain cell populations.

This study reports that a new mouse model with a CARD14 mutation successfully mimics key human PRP symptoms, and anti-IL-17A antibody significantly reduces these symptoms.

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 study found that Annexin A5 significantly reduced fibrosis and inflammation in both preventive and therapeutic contexts in a bleomycin-induced localized scleroderma mouse model, demonstrating its potential anti-fibrotic and anti-inflammatory effects for treating fibrotic diseases.

This review discusses plant-derived phytochemicals, such as phytosterols, polyphenols, and fatty acids, as potential alternatives to 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors for prostate cancer treatment, highlighting their promising anti-cancer properties and potentially fewer side effects compared to conventional drugs.

This study found that FGF5 alternative spliceosomes inhibit dermal papilla cell proliferation and regulate hair follicle growth-related gene expression, impacting hair follicle development in rabbits.

In this study, manipulation of the enzyme 5α-reductase type 2 in human hepatocytes altered lipogenesis, suggesting clinical implications for patients using 5α-reductase inhibitors by affecting glucocorticoid action on hepatic lipid metabolism.

This review examines the diverse roles of SRD5α enzymes across species, focusing on their involvement in steroid synthesis, sexual development, and various physiological processes, but reports no new clinical results.
