Some people with a history of autoimmune hair loss experienced worsening symptoms after COVID-19 vaccination.
research Molecular Correlation With Clinical Outcomes in an Open Label Clinical Trial of Oral Tofacitinib in Patients With Alopecia Areata
Tofacitinib helped most patients with alopecia areata regrow hair and changes in immune cells were linked to the treatment's effectiveness.
research Downstream Molecular Responses to Volatile Signaling in Roots
Plant roots respond to fungus smells by possibly using certain proteins and a plant hormone to change root growth, but more research is needed.
research Author Response: Interplay of Opposing Fate Choices Stalls Oncogenic Growth in Murine Skin Epithelium

The document concluded that stem cells are crucial for skin repair, regeneration, and may help in developing advanced skin substitutes.
research Variability of Retail Pricing of Generic Urologic Medications in a Major US Metropolitan Area
Generic urologic medication prices vary by pharmacy type, not by location or income level.
research The Transcriptional Repressor CDP (Cutl1) Is Essential for Epithelial Cell Differentiation of the Lung and the Hair Follicle
CDP is crucial for lung and hair follicle cell development.
research Characterization of a Cluster of Human High/Ultrahigh Sulfur Keratin-Associated Protein Genes Embedded in the Type I Keratin Gene Domain on Chromosome 17q12-21
A cluster of sulfur-rich hair protein genes was found on chromosome 17.
research Binding Interactions of Keratin-Based Hair Fiber Extract to Gold, Keratin, and BMP-2
Keratin from hair binds well to gold and BMP-2, useful for bone repair.
research Gene Expression in Rat Dermal Papilla Cells: Analysis of 2529 ESTs
Rat dermal papilla cells have unique genes crucial for hair growth.
research Identifying Long-Term Effects of SARS-CoV-2 and Their Association With Social Determinants of Health in a Cohort of Over One Million COVID-19 Survivors
Long-term effects of COVID-19 can vary over time and are more likely in certain age and gender groups, while race, income, and education levels have little to no impact. Ongoing medical care is needed due to potential complications.
research Identifying Long-Term Effects of SARS-CoV-2 and Their Association with Social Determinants of Health in a Cohort of Over One Million COVID-19 Survivors
The research found that COVID-19 survivors experienced long-term effects like anemia and hypertension, with age and gender being important factors, but race, income, and education had little to no impact.
research Distinct Stem Cells Contribute to Mammary Gland Development and Maintenance
Different types of long-lasting stem cells are responsible for the growth and upkeep of the mammary gland.
research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
research Clonal Multipotency and Effect of Long-Term In Vitro Expansion on Differentiation Potential of Human Hair Follicle Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Human hair follicle stem cells can turn into multiple cell types but lose some of this ability after being grown in the lab for a long time.
research Amendments to Organizational Theorizing
Karl E. Weick suggested focusing on everyday events and smaller groups to improve organizational theory and urged the inclusion of nonobvious aspects for better explanations.
research Nonhuman Primate Dermatology: A Literature Review
The document concludes that veterinary dermatologists need more experience and a better approach to treating skin diseases in nonhuman primates.
research Male Hormonal Contraception: Looking Back and Moving Forward
New male hormonal contraceptives show promise but need more research on long-term effects and funding for larger trials.
research Oral Medications for Central Serous Chorioretinopathy: A Literature Review
Some oral medications may help treat central serous chorioretinopathy, especially eplerenone, but more research is needed.
research Identification of the C-Terminal Tail Domain of AHF/Trichohyalin as the Critical Site for Modulation of the Keratin Filamentous Meshwork in the Keratinocyte
The C-terminal tail of AHF/trichohyalin is essential for organizing keratin filaments in keratinocytes.
research Aging and Colony-Forming Efficiency of Human Hair Follicle Keratinocytes
Aging reduces the ability of human hair follicle cells to form new cell colonies.
research Generation of iPS Cells from Human Hair Follicle Dermal Papilla Cells
Researchers made stem cells from human hair follicle cells with better efficiency than from skin cells.
