This study observed that chemically-induced intersex frogs displayed altered brain mRNA profiles, with finasteride increasing certain hormone-related gene expressions and fadrozole reducing aromatase activity without affecting gene transcript levels.

This study found that peptidylarginine deiminase type III and trichohyalin are coincidentally expressed in the infant rat hair follicle, but trichohyalin deimination occurs after their expression during development.

This study observed that PAD type III and trichohyalin are expressed earlier than their deiminated form during the first and second hair cycles in rat hair follicles, indicating a potential additional factor is involved in triggering deimination.

This study found that citrullinated proteins, which are implicated in rheumatoid arthritis, were abundant in outer membrane vesicles from Porphyromonas gingivalis but nearly absent in mutants, validating their approach to citrullinated peptide identification.

This study found that human peptidylarginine deiminase type III is the predominant isoform in hair follicles and may modulate structural proteins during hair and hair follicle formation.

This study identified nine pathogenic variants in the PADI3 gene and variants in the S100A3 and TCHH genes in patients with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, suggesting a broader genetic basis for the disease and potential targets for genetic testing and therapies.

Genetic changes in specific proteins contribute to hair loss in some women of African descent.

This study found that the hHa7 gene in hair follicle trichocytes is the first identified to have its expression directly regulated by androgens, suggesting it as a marker for androgen action on hair follicles.

This study suggests that trichohyalin is modified by peptidyl-arginine deiminase before being cross-linked by TGase 3, allowing the formation of rigid structures in hair follicle cells.

In this study, researchers identified two novel peptidylarginine deiminases from treated rat keratinocytes, both showing enzyme activity with PAD‐R11 reflecting a characteristic of epidermal enzymes.

This review establishes a tolerable upper intake level of 255 μg/day for selenium in adults, warning that supplements and Brazil nuts may cause excess intake.

This study identified dose levels of selenium that can produce toxicity, noting that doses as low as 2-3 µg Se/kg bw/day can lead to adverse effects, and a human mortality study linked 300 µg/day consumption to increased death risk.

This study by Dr. Manka and colleagues reported that thyroid hormones play a significant role in regulating hepatic stellate cells, influencing liver fibrosis progression via TGFβ signaling. They found that TRα signaling might enhance scar-free tissue regeneration, offering potential pathways for targeted liver fibrosis treatments.

In this case report from People's College of Medical Sciences, a 20-year-old man initially misdiagnosed with Addison's disease was ultimately found to have strongyloidiasis, with his symptoms and weight loss improving after antihelminthic treatment.

This study reviewed existing literature and found that androgenic alopecia may be associated with cardiovascular risk factors, while evidence for alopecia areata and cicatricial alopecias is limited and sometimes contradictory.

This paper discusses the balance between target tissue destruction and recovery rates in autoimmune diseases, proposing that high recovery rates are crucial for remitting-relapsing patterns, while exercise might not be neuroprotective in secondary progressive multiple sclerosis.

This study identified changes in immune activation, ferroptosis, and structural genes in alopecia areata subtypes, suggesting molecular markers that might help understand disease variability and guide future treatments.

Continuous glucose monitoring and GLP-1 receptor agonists improve diabetes management, but personalized care and education are crucial.

This article discusses the composition and function of the dermal papilla in hair follicles, focusing on its role in hair shaft generation and suggesting that cell loss in this area may contribute to hair loss.

This study found that Ca²⁺ signaling and peptidylarginine deiminase enzymes play a crucial role in activating neural stem cells in response to injury in zebrafish, suggesting potential therapeutic targets for CNS injuries and cancer.

This study observed that direct exposure to androgens in Western clawed frogs differentially affects thyroid receptor and deiodinase gene expression in male and female tissues, offering insight into sex-specific metabolic pathway activation.

This review explores the role of neutrophil recruitment in the inflammation seen in hidradenitis suppurativa and emphasizes potential therapeutic targets within these pathways, but it reports no new clinical results.

In this study, T3 and T4 were found to directly influence human hair follicles in vitro, enhancing keratinocyte proliferation, prolonging the hair growth phase, and affecting pigmentation.

This review discusses the potential benefits and risks of selenium in cancer prevention and treatment, emphasizing that while selenium may offer advantages for tumor patients, further research is needed due to mixed findings regarding diabetes risk.

This biographical abstract highlights George Rogers' pioneering contributions to the understanding of keratin molecular structure and keratinisation biochemistry, including the application of electron microscopy to hair ultrastructure and the discovery of enzymes and gene transcription processes relevant to keratin proteins.

This study demonstrates that PAD1 and PAD3 are involved in hair follicle differentiation, while PAD1 and PAD2 may play a role in the physiology of sweat glands and arrector pili muscles.

This review discusses the role of TGM3 in skin and hair follicle biology, human tumor pathology, and genetic abnormalities, and reports no novel results; the authors highlight its potential as a cancer diagnostic biomarker.

This study suggests that TGase 3 may contribute to hair fiber scaffolding by forming specific isopeptide bonds between keratin intermediate filaments and keratin-associated proteins.

In this study, researchers report that CDK inhibitors like palbociclib and ribociclib, initially developed for cancer therapy, show potential in treating neutrophilic inflammation-related conditions such as ARDS and psoriasis, although their clinical repurposing requires further research on safety and dose adjustments.

In this study, beta-caryophyllene enhanced wound healing in female mice by improving re-epithelialization, cell proliferation, and cell migration, suggesting potential benefits of essential oil compounds in inflammation reduction.
