This study identified novel isoforms of the PADI2 and PADI3 proteins, showing that PADI2β inhibits oligodendrocyte differentiation, possibly by opposing the effect of canonical PADI2, while PADI3β modulates the activity of PADI3α, suggesting new regulatory mechanisms of citrullination in tissue development.

This study found that induced expression of mir-302 can reprogram human hair follicle cells into induced pluripotent stem cells through a novel epigenetic mechanism involving global demethylation.

This study reports that GLP-1 receptors and proglucagon are expressed in the skin of newborn mice, with GLP-1 potentially playing a role in skin development and hair follicle formation.

This study found that transgenic expression of COX-2 in mouse basal keratinocytes causes epidermal hyperplasia and certain dysplastic features at specific body sites.

This review discusses advances in understanding hair and hair follicle structure, gene expression, and molecular signals in hair formation, without reporting new clinical findings.

This study found that COX-2 expression in normal rat skin is linked to the hair cycle, with varying levels observed in different skin structures during anagen, catagen, and telogen phases.

This study proposes the miR-22-5p-LEF1 axis as a novel pathway that may regulate hair follicle stem cell proliferation.

This study found that the loss of Smad4 in keratinocytes reduces Dsg4 expression via disrupted BMP signaling, contributing to hair follicle degeneration and alopecia.

This study found that CRABP1, Nestin, and Ephrin B2 are expressed in both the tumor stroma and invasive front of skin adnexal tumors and basal cell carcinomas.

This research found that androgen bioactivity plays a role in normal female sexual differentiation, suggesting females develop within a significant androgenic environment, with implications for understanding conditions like congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

This study reports for the first time on the expression patterns of Id2 and Id3 proteins in developing hair follicles, suggesting a significant role for these proteins in hair follicle development and epithelial-mesenchymal interactions.

This study reports the cloning and sequencing of two type II hair-specific keratin genes, ghHb1 and ghHb6, located on chromosome 12q13, which are expressed during hair growth.

This review examines histochemical and immunohistochemical markers to differentiate apocrine and eccrine sweat glands, highlighting their distinct markers, though it reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that thyroid hormones T3 and T4 enhance keratin 15 promoter activity and stimulate CD200 expression in epithelial stem cells from human scalp hair follicles, affecting their growth and differentiation.

This study found that the enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) may promote hair growth by increasing STK40 expression and facilitating hair follicle stem cell proliferation and differentiation.

This study identified a subtype of itch-sensing neurons in mice, which express Ret and somatostatin, and found that their ablation reduces scratching induced by certain pruritogens.

This study found that expression and variants of the KRT84 gene are associated with important wool traits in Gansu Alpine Fine-wool sheep, suggesting its potential use as a genetic marker for wool trait selection.

This study found that disrupting Sox21 in developing teeth leads to severe enamel hypoplasia, regional osteoporosis, and abnormal hair formation, with impaired dental epithelial differentiation and regulation of hair follicle cell fate.

This study concluded that the new subfractionation culturing method generates highly homogeneous adipose-derived stem cells with enhanced mitogenic, paracrine, and hair growth-promoting effects compared to traditional isolation methods.

This study found that while 3D spheroid culture preserved sweat gland cell-specific markers better than 2D culture, their growth and structural organization were suboptimal, highlighting the need for improved culture systems.

This study found that electrical epilation in organ-cultured human scalp skin perturbs hair follicles by causing inflammation, impairing melanin production, and possibly inhibiting post-epilation hair re-growth.

This study suggests that programmed cell death plays a crucial role in shaping the structure of the human epidermis and its appendages during development.

This study found that keratin 15 expression is downregulated in hyperproliferative conditions like psoriasis and hypertrophic scars, suggesting it is not compatible with keratinocyte activation.

This review discusses how epidermal Langerhan's cells and dermal cells may influence keratinocyte environments, potentially aiding in the formation of stem cell niches and cellular variety in the basal layer, without providing novel results.

This study found that Sox9 was variably expressed in most canine skin neoplasms, particularly in those originating from the hair follicle's bulge region, suggesting its potential as a stem cell marker.

This study reported that ELL is crucial for maintaining the proliferative capacity of the basal layer in human epidermal keratinocytes by stabilizing RNA polymerase II at the transcription start site.

This study found that canine pemphigus foliaceus skin lesions exhibit a distinct immune signature, with upregulated pro-inflammatory and Th17-related genes, showing similarities to human pemphigus. Further research using advanced sequencing is needed to better understand the disease's pathogenesis.

This study identified a genetic locus associated with rhabdomyosarcoma susceptibility in mice and found that specific differentiation markers are linked to the regression of basal cell carcinoma.

The researchers reported that stress-induced keratins in human skin are expressed at lower levels than those in healthy skin and are co-regulated with genes involved in differentiation, inflammation, and immunity, rather than replacing keratins of normal differentiation or indicating cell proliferation.

This review explores the potential of using genetically-manipulated stem cells as both therapeutic agents and gene delivery vehicles for enhanced wound regeneration, but it reports no new clinical results.
