GLABRA2 represses root hair formation by inhibiting a specific gene.

This study found similarities in the regeneration processes of MRL mouse ears and axolotl limbs, involving G2 cell cycle arrest and nerve-dependent mitosis, but the role of p21 in axolotl limb regeneration remains uncertain.

This study observed that the topical skin-whitening agent rhododendrol induced skin depigmentation in approximately 16,000 consumers, linked to melanocyte cytotoxicity and immune reactions.

This study suggests that the down-regulation of 14-3-3 proteins in wild-type keratinocytes, absent in Smad4 mutant keratinocytes, might contribute to the failure of hair follicles to initiate catagen in Smad4 knockout mice.

This study suggests that BBS7 is crucial for maintaining Sonic hedgehog signaling activity, which is important for periodontal ligament homeostasis under occlusal hypofunction conditions.

This study developed a double-wavelength laser scanning microphotometer to measure hair shaft and follicle absorbance, improving spatial resolution and reducing light scattering effects in vitro.

This study found that 4-(4-Phenoxybenzoyl)benzoic acid derivatives may act as antioxidants by scavenging certain reactive oxygen species but exhibit prooxidant behavior under specific conditions.

This study found that p2y5 functions as a novel LPA receptor involved in the G13-Rho signaling pathway, with implications for human hair growth, and proposes renaming it to LPA6.

This study reports a novel LSS gene mutation in an Egyptian family with alopecia intellectual disability syndrome 4, expanding the known clinical and genetic features of the condition.

This case report describes a 32-month-old girl with a newly identified pediatric disorder linked to a de novo mutation in the ODC1 gene, mirroring symptoms seen in a transgenic mouse model.

This study found that nanobubble-encapsulated diclofenac with ultrasound-targeted microbubble destruction (DNBs-UTMD) can enhance the anti-tumor efficacy of Doxil® by regulating the tumor immune microenvironment, improving drug uptake, and increasing T cell responses while reducing immune-suppressive cells in the process.

This report suggests that patients with primary spontaneous pneumothorax should be evaluated for FLCN mutations, as they may indicate Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome and associated cancer risks.

This study found that the DKK3-CKAP4 signaling axis is involved in fibroimmune remodeling in androgenetic alopecia and that targeting this pathway may restore a regenerative hair follicle environment, offering a potential therapeutic strategy to counteract hair follicle miniaturization.

In this study, TCDD administered to male rats down-regulated EGF receptor in liver plasma membranes and increased protein kinase activity, suggesting EGF receptor–mediated toxicological effects.

This study found that chromosomal microarray analysis identified copy number variations in 12% of patients with dysmorphic features and congenital anomalies, demonstrating its potential as a diagnostic tool, especially for rare CNVs and immune deficiency linked to the deletion of CTLA4.

In this study, researchers found that mouse digits without nails could not regenerate after amputation, highlighting the necessity of nails for fingertip regeneration and suggesting a potential role for the Lmx1b gene in this process.

Secreted inhibitors of Wnt and IGF signaling control hair and tooth development, creating species-specific patterns.

In this report, researchers describe a 13-month-old with neurodevelopmental disorder NEDESBA, confirming a TRAPPC4 gene mutation as the cause after excluding biotinidase deficiency, highlighting the importance of molecular testing for accurate diagnosis in overlapping metabolic and genetic conditions.

This study found that estetrol (E4) significantly prolonged the anagen phase and increased hair matrix keratinocyte proliferation in cultured human hair follicles, suggesting its potential as a treatment for female pattern hair loss.
