This study found that the vitamin D receptor is crucial for initiating the postnatal hair follicular cycle in mice, preventing alopecia associated with its inactivation.

This study discusses the use of oral contraceptives as a treatment for hyperandrogenism, showing improvement in hirsutism and acne for many women and possibly providing metabolic benefits with certain formulations.

This review highlights recent advances in understanding how the extracellular matrix regulates epidermal stem cell fate, emphasizing the importance of the hair follicle stem cell niche, but reports no new empirical findings.

Skin stem cells maintain and repair the outer layer of skin, with some types being essential for healing wounds.

Antiandrogens, particularly flutamide and CPA, are most effective for treating hirsutism, with long-term use needed for best results.

Research on epidermal stem cells has advanced significantly, showing promise for improved clinical therapies.

This review discusses treatments for polycystic ovary syndrome, including lifestyle changes, oral contraceptives, and various medications, and reports no new clinical findings; the authors highlight the potential of statins and inositol for managing symptoms.

This review presents updated tables of mouse mutants with hair growth abnormalities to aid in understanding the molecular mechanisms of human hair disorders, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the increased risk of venous thromboembolism associated with combined hormonal contraceptives, particularly noting higher risks with certain progestins like desogestrel, gestodene, and cyproterone acetate, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that the vitamin D receptor is essential for the self-renewal, migration, and differentiation of epidermal stem cells during skin wound healing in mice.

This mini-review discusses human hair follicle development and summarizes genetic disorders linked to abnormalities in hair follicle morphogenesis, structure, or regeneration, but reports no new experimental results.

This review explores the role of Eph receptors and ephrins in skin cell processes, discussing their potential for therapeutic targeting in dermatological disorders, but it presents no new research findings.

This review identifies genetic mutations associated with congenital hair loss disorders in Japanese populations, particularly highlighting common LIPH gene mutations linked to woolly hair/hypotrichosis, and reports no new clinical results.

This article discusses the complexities of androgen and antiandrogen therapies in women, detailing diagnostic measures, the effects on libido, and the potential benefits of new progestins with antiandrogenic properties, but presents no new empirical findings.

This study identified four circRNAs with significantly different expression levels in Liaoning cashmere goats, suggesting a potential role in regulating cashmere fineness.

This abstract describes monilethrix, an autosomal dominant genodermatosis with symptoms like hair fragility and keratosis pilaris, and does not report new experimental results.

This narrative review discusses the structure and functions of the skin, focusing on its barrier role, self-repair, thermoregulation, and immune functions, and reports no new experimental results.

This study found that sweat gland stem cells primarily maintain sweat gland homeostasis but can trans-differentiate to aid in epidermal healing and regenerate diverse skin structures under certain conditions.

In this study, researchers developed a non-invasive method to distinguish exogen hair from telogen hair on the human scalp, finding that normal exogen hair levels are generally less than seven hairs per cm².

This study reports that hypomorphic alleles of the Ass1 gene in mice resemble human CTLN1, providing a potential model for preclinical studies and indicating that standard treatments for CTLN1 can rescue phenotypes.

This study found that human hair follicle dermal cells, specifically dermal sheath cells, can serve as an alternative and potentially superior cell source for constructing the dermal component of bioengineered skin in both in vitro and in vivo settings.

This review examines hair shaft disorders, reporting limited evidence for treatments like minoxidil and oral retinoids, and emphasizes gentle hair care and genetic counseling for managing congenital cases.

This study observed no significant relationship between trichoscopic findings and disease severity in male or female androgenetic alopecia, despite some specific patterns correlating with different severity levels in female patients.

This review found that combined oral contraceptives and spironolactone are effective treatments for adult acne in women, but noted that oral contraceptives increase the risk of venous thromboembolism and require individual risk assessment before use.

This study reports that transplantation of an ESCs-collagen-chitin biomimetic membrane leads to successful in situ skin regeneration, including hair follicle cell proliferation and formation of dermatoglyphs, in nude mice with full-thickness skin defects.

This study found that the DNA methylation status of skin samples from cashmere goats was higher during the telogen stage compared to the anagen stage, identifying genes potentially important for hair follicle development and growth.

In this study, the researchers found that vitamin D and calcium signaling in keratinocytes are essential for normal skin regeneration after wounding, with deficiencies significantly delaying wound closure and re-epithelialization in mice.

In this study, researchers identified novel long non-coding RNAs related to cashmere fineness in goats, highlighting a potential regulatory network involving lncRNA XLOC_008679 and its target gene KRT35.

This review discusses the identification and roles of different epidermal stem cell types in skin homeostasis and repair, and reports no new experimental findings.
