This review summarizes recent findings on how the dysregulated PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway contributes to immune-mediated inflammatory skin disorders and discusses the potential of natural products, synthetic compounds, and biologic agents in their treatment. However, it emphasizes the need for further research to develop effective therapies.

In this study, researchers developed a polyphenol–amino acid nanozyme capable of controlled hydrogen peroxide delivery, which effectively activated hair follicles via oxidative stress in a mouse model, suggesting a potential non-pharmacological treatment for alopecia.

This study found that the development of Merkel cell carcinoma from hair follicles in mice can be driven by in vivo reprogramming with ATOH1 and relies on p53 loss for progression.

In this study, researchers used computational modeling and virtual screening to identify two FDA-approved drugs, Tadalafil and Finasteride, that may effectively inhibit key proteins involved in melanoma progression, suggesting potential for new therapeutic strategies against aggressive melanoma.

This review explores the mechanisms, current products, challenges, and innovative approaches related to cosmetics for hair loss prevention and growth promotion, emphasizing the need for multidisciplinary cooperation to enhance product development and market success.

This study found that the wavy coat trait in Nakano cataract mice is polygenic, involving major and minor genes, and resembles human curly scalp hair associated with the PRSS53 gene alteration.

This study found that hair follicles may provide a safe space for tumor cells in mice, suggesting a potential target for cancer prevention during the dormant phase of tumor development.

This study indicated that abnormal Bmp signaling in β-catenin gain-of-function mutants is associated with anorectal malformations, shedding light on potential mechanisms underlying these congenital conditions.

This study observed that transgenic mice expressing keratin K10 under bovine K6beta control developed severe oral abnormalities, suggesting keratin composition changes can affect the physiology of epithelial cells, especially in the oral mucosa.

This review summarizes current literature associating mitochondrial dysfunction with dermatologic issues like skin aging, hair loss, and poor wound healing, noting potential benefits in targeting mitochondrial components for treatments.

This review examines the interconnected processes of atopic dermatitis and alopecia areata, highlighting shared immune imbalances, genetic factors, and microbiome influences, while analyzing current and emerging treatments and identifying gaps in understanding these overlapping conditions.

This study found that the absence of sebaceous glands may be an early factor in the development of keratosis pilaris, leading to hair shaft and skin barrier abnormalities, independent of filaggrin mutations.

This study in engineered mouse models suggests that some basal cell carcinomas may originate from hair follicle tissue stem cells upon leaving their stem cell niche.

This review discusses the genetic and environmental factors involved in the development of skin cancers like squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, and melanoma, but does not report new clinical findings.

This review outlines how peptidyl arginine deiminases (PADIs) and protein citrullination are involved in hair follicle regeneration and inflammatory alopecia, but presents no new clinical findings.

This study found that sebaceous gland-derived cutaneous adnexal carcinomas exhibited the highest frequency of genomic alterations compared to other tumor types.

This study found that chemically induced skin tumors in mice predominantly originated from Lgr6 + and/or Lrig1 + stem cells of the upper hair follicle rather than from other stem cell populations.

This review discusses recent advancements in congenital adrenal hyperplasia research, including improved diagnostic techniques, alternative treatments, and insights from long-term outcome data, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that mimicking the XPD point mutation in mice resulted in trichothiodystrophy-like symptoms, supporting the role of basal transcription and DNA repair defects in the disease.

Fgfr2b helps maintain healthy skin and prevent cancer.

This study found that COL17 deficiency in neonatal mice causes abnormal skin cell proliferation due to disrupted Wnt signaling, while replenishing or overexpressing COL17 can reverse this effect in both neonatal and aged skin.

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 symposium reviewed various advances in understanding and potentially reversing skin aging, with no new experimental results reported.

This review explored the relationship between autoimmune thyroiditis and various autoimmune skin conditions, highlighting shared genetic markers and immunological mechanisms, such as disrupted immune tolerance and oxidative stress, which may contribute to the development of these disorders.

This study developed an in vitro model using NTERT keratinocytes expressing AEC-related TP63 mutations, which replicated skin defects observed in AEC patients and offers a valuable tool for understanding the disorder and developing new treatments.

This case report highlighted a rare occurrence of both adrenocortical carcinoma and uric acid kidney stones in a 5-year-old boy, with hormonal levels and clinical symptoms returning to normal after treatment and no recurrence over four years, emphasizing comprehensive endocrine evaluations in pediatric ACC management.

This study investigated adenosine-to-inosine RNA editing in the hair follicle cycle of Tianzhu white yak, identifying numerous editing sites and suggesting their involvement in pathways related to hair growth.

This study found that the survival and proliferation of mouse melanocytes expressing the GNAQQ209L oncogene were impaired by interactions with the epidermal microenvironment, suggesting a possible mechanism for the rarity of these mutations in epidermal melanomas.

This study observed that nevus melanocytes do not exhibit signs of senescence, suggesting that their growth arrest is due to cell interactions and not directly caused by BRAF activation.
