This study observed that Merkel cells and their associated somatosensory axons in mouse skin exhibit significant plasticity, remodeling dynamically to maintain homeostasis. Axonal branching patterns were notably influenced by Merkel cells, suggesting epithelial-neural interactions play a key role in axonal plasticity and patterning.

This source discusses defensive publication regarding methods to treat androgenic alopecia and sexual dysfunction by restoring gap-junction-mediated connectivity, highlighting a unique mechanism independent of membrane voltage and not targeted by current treatments.

This study reviewed literature on pediatric acrodermatitis enteropathica and found that zinc deficiency occurred in 75.9% of cases, with zinc supplementation showing therapeutic efficacy in 91.4% of patients; however, it was often ineffective in those with underlying metabolic disorders.

This study found that anagen hairs require less force to be extracted than telogen hairs in an in vitro pig skin model, indicating different anchorage mechanisms.

This study reported that high-intensity red LED irradiation increased osteogenic differentiation and mineralization of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, potentially through Wnt/β-catenin pathway activation.

This study found that steers grazing on toxic tall fescue with continuous hair growth and reduced sweating had impaired thermoregulation, leading to decreased grazing activity and poor performance.

The authors concluded that controlling voltage, pulse width, and calcium concentration in pulse electric field-activated platelet-rich plasma enhances the release of growth factors and serotonin without causing clot formation, suggesting potential clinical advantages over bovine thrombin-activated PRP.

Prostaglandin helps regenerate hair follicles after radiation damage.

This article discusses the widespread issue of zinc deficiency affecting plant, animal, and human health, and reports no new clinical results; the authors emphasize the need for adequate zinc availability in agriculture and nutrition.

In this study, seven patients with generalized toxic erythema developed sterile pustules localized to hair follicles or sweat ducts, with most having a history of medication, solvent exposure, or infection.

This study found that Platelet Rich Plasma is effective as a direct pulp capping agent, comparable to Mineral Trioxide Aggregate, but with potentially better cellular dentinogenic responses and homogenous tissue formation in dogs.

HEV light can harm or help skin and scalp, so safe exposure guidelines are needed.

This study found that urchin-like Ag–Au bimetallic and Ag nanoparticle-decorated PAN mats showed significant antibacterial effects and potential for wound healing in in vitro and in vivo animal models.

This study found that the transcription factor GLABRA 2 inhibits ethylene production, regulating root hair growth in Arabidopsis under nutrient deficiency conditions.

This study reports two cases of bubble hair deformity in young men caused by prolonged exposure to bathroom heating lamps during showers, suggesting that maintaining a safe distance from heating devices may prevent this thermal injury to hair.

In this article, two case studies of hair tourniquets around digits are discussed, highlighting the condition's potential causes and management strategies, and emphasizing the role of midwives and health visitors in educating expectant mothers to minimize the risk to children.

This review discusses the biological characteristics and potential of epidermal stem cells in orthopedic regenerative medicine but reports no new experimental findings.

A 7-year-old girl was diagnosed with Netherton's Syndrome, shown by skin and hair symptoms.

This review discusses recent advancements in understanding how the extracellular matrix regulates epidermal stem cell fate and highlights the significance of ECM in stem cell maintenance and differentiation, with implications for regenerative medicine.

Hair fibers break by cuticle cell slipping, shape changing, cuticle fraying, and surface cracking when stretched under specific conditions.

This study found that vitamin D and calcium signaling are essential for effective wound repair by maintaining and activating stem cells and aiding in their migration and differentiation.

This study found that potential exposure to Corexit™ dispersants during the Deepwater Horizon cleanup was associated with increased respiratory, dermal, and eye irritation symptoms among responders both during the cleanup and up to three years later.

In this study, researchers used atomic force microscopy to evaluate mechanical stiffness across different skin layers in six participants, finding the highest stiffness in the epidermis and lower stiffness as layers progress to subcutaneous tissue, enhancing understanding of skin's physical properties and aiding future research.

This letter to the editor describes a case of anagen effluvium due to thallium poisoning from Chinese herbal medicine and rodenticide but reports no new research findings.

Zinc deficiency causes reversible hair loss by disrupting hair growth and stem cell function.

EGFR-targeted cancer therapy can cause skin issues starting at hair follicles, leading to inflammation.

This review examines the role of root hair specification and nutrient acquisition in plants, emphasizing the need for further genetic research to understand the mechanisms influencing root hair development and growth.

In this case report, a two-year-old girl with acrodermatitis enteropathica was misdiagnosed for over a year before low serum zinc levels led to the correct diagnosis, and her skin lesions resolved completely after two weeks of zinc sulfate treatment.

In this study, wild-type Arabidopsis thaliana with responsive root hairs efficiently acquired phosphorus under low-phosphorus conditions compared to mutants, suggesting an adaptive advantage in nutrient-limited environments.

This review outlines the potential of soft bioelectronics in wound care, emphasizing their ability to monitor and manage wounds through integrated smart systems and identifying challenges for future advancements in the field.
