This study used electron microscopy to identify a distinct dendritic cell in the human epidermis, similar to the melanocyte, with unique structural features and variable melanin content.

In this study, the researchers reported that NMMHC IIA dissociates from PAR1 and activates the CREB3/ARF4 pathway, worsening thrombin-induced blood-brain barrier damage, suggesting it as a potential therapeutic target for blood-brain barrier-related diseases.

This study describes the enzymatic processes through which DHEA is converted to active sex steroids in human skin, highlighting an androgenic effect on sebaceous glands and estrogenic effects in the vagina.

This study observed that 19% of patients with Graves' orbitopathy experienced induced diplopia after orbital decompression, with high patient satisfaction reported following both coronal and translid approaches.

This study documents that trichohyalin acts as a multi-functional cross-bridging protein in the inner root sheath of mouse hair follicles, enhancing mechanical strength by linking keratin filaments to the cell envelope.

This study suggests that hair-follicle afferent axons can be presynaptically inhibited by boutons containing the enzyme glutamic acid decarboxylase, which is linked to the synthesis of γ-aminobutyric acid.

This article proposes a standardized naming system for areas of the balding scalp to improve communication among hair restoration professionals, but it reports no clinical results.

This study found that Cidea is critical for regulating lipid storage and sebum secretion in sebaceous glands, with its deficiency causing hair issues and impaired skin functions in mice.

This study observed that distinct subsets of Hoxd genes in murine vibrissae and chicken feather primordia are regulated by different lineage-specific enhancers, indicating evolutionary changes in chromatin topology contribute to transcriptional robustness.

This study found that extreme morning and evening chronotypes exhibited significant differences in the timing of circadian clock gene expression in hair follicle cells.

The researchers reported that PPARβ/δ may influence the yak hair follicle cycle by modulating lipid metabolism in dermal papilla cells, with varying expression during different hair growth phases, affecting both lipid content and cell proliferation.

This review highlights the multifaceted roles of skin in immune and endocrine functions, stressing its contributions to psycho-immunological and psycho-endocrine responses, but presents no new research findings.

This review highlights similarities in the development of thymus and skin epidermis, reporting no new results; the authors emphasize shared molecular mechanisms despite different embryonic origins.

This study examined the subcutaneous structures in forehead creases using cadavers and observed that dense fibrous structures connecting the dermis to the frontalis muscle, as well as specific epidermal and dermal characteristics, may contribute to the formation of these creases.

In this study, the researchers identified LHX2 as a specific marker for hair follicle placodes, differentiating them from eccrine sweat gland placodes through double immunofluorescence staining.

Aging weakens sweat glands due to reduced support from immune cells, but treatments may help restore function.

This study found cell-specific variations in POMC mRNA and peptide expression in murine skin, suggesting that PC1 and PC2 convertases contribute to differential POMC processing.

Hair follicle dermal stem cells help control hair growth timing by regulating signals at the hair germ–dermal papilla interface.

This case report describes an 11-year-old Lhasa Apso diagnosed with hypothyroidism and diabetes mellitus, illustrating the link between these common endocrine disorders in dogs.

This study found hair regrowth in the majority of AA-affected mice and rats treated with diphencyprone, suggesting its potential utility for understanding human alopecia areata and the drug's therapeutic action.

In this study, the authors reported that Cerebronal® supplementation for three to six months may modulate certain biomarkers associated with neurodegeneration and brain repair in individuals with memory problems.

This study outlines the complex structure and various functions of the skin, emphasizing its role as a barrier against external insults, a sensory receptor, and its importance in vitamin D synthesis.

This study found that the proteins Par3, mInsc, and Gαi3 cooperate to regulate LGN polarization and promote perpendicular cell divisions during murine epidermal morphogenesis.

This study observed that 5α‐dihydrotestosterone increased pigmentation in certain skin areas of male Syrian hamsters, while estradiol decreased melanocyte numbers and counteracted the androgen-induced pigmentation effects.

This case study reports a 44-year-old man with criminal sublethal thallium poisoning who demonstrated diminished contrast sensitivity, a tritan color vision defect, and a relative cecocentral scotoma leading to optic atrophy.

This study found that the Dun camouflage color in horses is due to TBX3 expression, which causes uneven pigment deposition, whereas non-dun coat colors result from regulatory mutations affecting TBX3 expression.

In this review, researchers examined the molecular diversity and expression patterns of major skin appendage proteins, like keratins and EDC proteins, in tetrapods, highlighting recent findings in reptiles and birds and identifying knowledge gaps for future research.

This study describes cases of diffuse alopecia and thyroid alterations in sheep, linking selenium and zinc deficiencies to decreased serum T3 and T4 concentrations and related skin conditions.

This study found that dermal papilla cells exhibit stage-dependent variation in histone methylation during the hair follicle cycle and display distinct chromatin marker expression when transitioning to in vitro culture.

This study found that the pituitary gland is crucial for normal pelage color cycles in weasels, with certain hormones influencing regrowth of pigmented or white hair after molting.
