This study found that Phellodendri Cortex Ex may reduce prostate tissue damage and inhibit $5{\alpha}$-reductase gene expression in a rat model of benign prostatic hyperplasia, suggesting potential therapeutic benefits.

This study found that in androgenetic alopecia patients, there is enhanced expression of type 2 TGF-β and type II receptors in hair follicles, suggesting a link to hair growth cycle changes.

This report describes several cases of pili annulati in children, highlighting its genetic predisposition and distinctive "zebra stripe" hair pattern, but notes no effective treatment is available.

Monilethrix involves multiple genes affecting hair structure, including DSG4 mutations.

This study found that beard hair medulla cells express an unexpected range of keratins, showing variability and promiscuous behavior in keratin interactions distinct from other hair follicle cells.

This study found that hair membrane fluidity is low in the cuticle but high in the cortex and medulla, with treatments like ionic surfactants and oleic acid increasing fluidity in hydrated hair; however, dehydration significantly reduces fluidity throughout the hair.

This study identified a domain on human chromosome 21q22.1 containing various high glycine-tyrosine and high sulfur keratin-associated protein genes, revealing their diverse expression in hair-forming cells.

This anatomical study on Eclipta alba concluded that unique secretory structures in stems and leaves may serve as identifying features of the plant and the Asteraceae family.

In this study, NuMA's microtubule-binding domain was found to be crucial for correct spindle orientation and skin differentiation, with its loss leading to neonatal lethality in mice.

This study reports that the differential expression patterns of three retinaldehyde dehydrogenases suggest a regulated need for retinoic acid synthesis in various organs during late mouse organogenesis.

This study observed that keratose, derived from human hair, integrated well in mouse tissue and remodeled with collagen, suggesting potential as a non-toxic biomaterial for regenerative applications.

This study found that estazolam improved PTSD-like behavior deficits in an animal model, which was linked to increased allopregnanolone levels in specific brain regions.

In this study, researchers examined androgen receptor activity in the adult mouse brain and found specific expression in key brain areas, which could inform understanding of cognitive side effects in humans undergoing androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer.

This review highlights the significant advancements in regenerative medicine from stem cells, PRP, and exosomes for dermatology, but notes that regulatory challenges and the need for standardization are slowing their clinical application.

In this study, researchers found that overexpressing SOX2 in colorectal cancer cell lines can cause DNA damage and cell death, while repressing it reduces tumor growth and cell aggressiveness.

This study found that two synthesized androst-4-ene-3-one derivatives, 6f and 6g, exhibited stronger anti-proliferative effects than common drugs on prostate cancer cell lines, with low toxicity to rat cells.

In this multicenter study, adipose-derived stem cell-enriched fat grafting achieved higher satisfaction and better clinical outcomes compared to platelet-rich plasma and hyaluronic acid filler in aesthetic interventions.

In this study, the authors synthesized recent literature on childhood alopecia areata, highlighting its clinical manifestations and management strategies, which include individualized treatments and psychosocial support to mitigate emotional and social impacts on affected children.

This review concluded that topical 5% Minoxidil treatment for androgenetic alopecia yielded the best results and enhancing it with other drugs or procedures further improved outcomes.

This case report describes an 85-year-old woman who developed localized telogen effluvium, a form of temporary hair loss, three months after Mohs micrographic surgery for basal cell carcinoma on her scalp, with complete hair regrowth achieved through minoxidil therapy within ten months.

This study observed that activin A and its antagonist follistatin influence the differentiation of inner ear hair cells by regulating the expression of the transcription factor ATOH1.

This review discusses the cell biological characteristics of the outer root sheath of normal human hair follicles and highlights some similarities and differences with trichilemmal tumors, but reports no new results.

This study found that the LEF-1 binding site acts as an enhancer element for the wool keratin intermediate filament gene promoter in hair follicle cortex, with specificity regulated by additional factors.

This study proposed the existence of a membrane-like structure between the cuticle and cortex in human hair, which may provide strong protection against external stimuli.

In this study, researchers found that bulge cells in mouse hair follicles undergo transient proliferation during early anagen, indicating their role as follicular stem cells. However, another factor beyond dermal papilla proximity may be required to initiate a new anagen phase.

Scientists turned rat thymus cells into stem cells that can help repair skin and hair.

This study found that in vitro, cultured bulge cells from human hair follicles possess properties of primitive cells, supporting the hypothesis that hair follicle stem cells reside in the bulge area.

In this review, the authors discuss how understanding and co-regulating multiple signaling pathways could lead to effective regeneration of functional hair cells, highlighting current achievements and future approaches such as small molecule drugs and gene therapy for treating sensorineural hearing loss.

In this study, researchers identified three molecules in hair that varied with age, suggesting potential markers for aging and targets for cosmetic products.

This article reviews the role of adult stem cells in tissue homeostasis and wound repair, focusing on their regulation within the murine hair follicle's specialized niche, but it presents no new findings.
