January 2025 in “Dermatologic Therapy” In this study, the combination of topical minoxidil and betamethasone was found to be more effective for hair regrowth and patient satisfaction in alopecia areata patients compared to betamethasone alone or with herbal oils, though further randomized trials are recommended.
February 2026 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences” In this study, the researchers found that cholinergic signaling via M4 muscarinic receptors influences hair growth, with enhanced elongation observed upon activation with bethanechol, highlighting its potential role in hair biology using mouse models.
September 2025 in “Science Advances” This study reports that PADI4, an enzyme involved in posttranslational protein modifications, regulates progenitor cell transitions in hair follicle development by repressing transcription and interacting with translational and ribosomal processes.
January 2025 in “PLoS ONE” This study found that ING5 knockout mice are prone to developing lymphomas and severe dermatitis, suggesting ING5 plays a role in tumor suppression and stem cell maintenance in vivo.
This study found that upper-bulge epidermal stem cells in mouse hair follicles are specialized for nerve interactions, crucial for forming tactile sensory units, and influence touch responses via EGFL6 and αv integrin pathways.
In this study, upper-bulge epidermal stem cells in mouse hair follicles were shown to play a role in forming tactile sensory units by creating an extracellular matrix that supports nerve interactions.
September 2022 in “Dermatology and therapy” This review discusses the pathological factors and comorbidities associated with androgenetic alopecia and reports no new clinical results, emphasizing the need for improved understanding and treatment in clinical practice.
December 2022 in “Nature Communications” This study found that a new "bead-jet" printing system for mesenchymal stem cells in Matrigel beads improved skeletal muscle regeneration and skin healing in a high-density, sparse pattern.
October 2022 in “The American journal of gastroenterology” This case report details a patient with myasthenia gravis and a malignant thymoma whose rising liver function tests, initially thought to be related to antibiotic use, were ultimately attributed to thymoma-associated multiorgan autoimmunity.
September 2012 in “대한피부과학회지” In this study, Dsc 1 was highly expressed in certain layers of fetal epidermis and hair follicle but not in basal cells or oral mucosa, indicating its potential role in maintaining epithelial integrity.

,
August 2023 in “The EMBO Journal” This study explored the epigenetic mechanisms of dermal fibroblast progenitor differentiation and found that the repressive chromatin profile from H3K27me3 prevents these progenitors from reforming skin in allograft assays, despite their multipotent potential.
8 citations
,
July 2015 in “International Journal of Dermatology” This study reports that a homozygous A1103G mutation in DSG 4 is responsible for localized autosomal recessive hypotrichosis in a 2-year-old Chinese girl, resulting in reduced DSG 4 expression and hair defects.

January 2011 in “Development” This study found that disrupting Adam10 in the epidermis led to severe skin and multi-organ abnormalities, implicating Adam10 as crucial for proper Notch signaling and skin maintenance.
This study found that loss of the DNA methyltransferase Dnmt3a, but not Dnmt3b, increased carcinogen-induced squamous tumors in murine epidermis, with combined deletion leading to more aggressive and metastatic carcinomas.
January 2015 in “Journal of Neuromuscular Diseases” This case report describes two boys with Danon disease, initially misdiagnosed due to increased transaminases, who exhibited cardiac issues and muscle pseudohypertrophy.
