This study found that follistatin and activin interactions are important for hair follicle development and cycling in mice, suggesting that they may regulate processes involving BMP-2 and its antagonist.

In this study, the researchers observed that the expression of certain growth factors and their receptors increases with gestational age, implying a role in skin development, structure maintenance, and wound healing.

This study observed that in an ex vivo setting, 17β-estradiol increased CB1 expression in human hair follicles, suggesting possible sensitivity to endocannabinoids and a potential mechanism for hair therapy.

In this study of pediatric melanocytic lesions, researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital observed no concurrent BAP1 loss and BRAFV600E positivity, characteristics of adult BIMT, suggesting that these tumors may develop at a later age rather than in childhood.

This case study highlights Erythromelanosis follicularis faciei et colli as an easily overlooked pigmentary disorder characterized by a distinctive triad requiring precise diagnosis for effective patient counseling and cosmetic management.

This study found that epidermal growth factor treatment in male mice delayed normal skin development, inhibiting hair growth and follicle development by maintaining birth-level cell proliferation and differentiation for several days.

FGF18 controls hair growth rest phase.

This case report describes a 61-year-old Italian man with a rare, localized variant of junctional epidermolysis bullosa linked to the R795X mutation in the COL17A1 gene, highlighting the importance of precise diagnosis for effective management of rare genetic disorders.

This study found that specific genes related to vascular endothelial growth factors are critical for feather maturity in certain chicken breeds, identifying key genetic markers that could enhance breeding efficiency.

In this study, researchers characterized the FGF5 gene in Chinese Merino sheep, identified a new mRNA splicing variant, FGF5S, and noted its restricted expression in the brain, spleen, and skin.

This report on individuals with AEBP1-related classical-like EDS confirmed previous findings and identified hair loss as a potential characteristic feature of this rare condition for the first time. Additionally, cardiovascular complications observed in some individuals suggest that cardiovascular monitoring may be necessary.

Mutations in the ACTB gene cause Becker’s nevi and may lead to muscle issues in Becker’s nevus syndrome.

In this study, CTCF was found to play essential roles in epidermal differentiation and skin barrier formation, simultaneously acting as a suppressor of epithelial inflammatory responses in mouse skin.

In this study, feeding Gymnocypris eckloni with Flammulina velutipes residues enhanced foregut morphology and beneficially altered gut microbiota, highlighting potential improvements in intestinal health for aquaculture use.

This study found that AIRE, a usually nuclear protein, is expressed in the cytoplasm of human epidermal and follicular keratinocytes and associates with the intermediate filament protein cytokeratin 17, potentially impacting ectodermal abnormalities in APECED syndrome.

This study found that a genetic variant in the EDAR gene leads to typical East Asian hair characteristics by increasing signaling output, as shown in transgenic mice experiments.

This study found that heat-killed Enterococcus faecalis EF-2001 promoted hair regrowth in mice, likely by increasing the expression of growth factors and marker genes.

This study found that intermittent treatment with FTI lonafarnib and sulforaphane may be a promising therapeutic approach for children with Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome, as it improved the cellular phenotype.

In this study, AMACO was found to be non-essential for the formation or function of anchoring cords in mice, despite its presence in the structure.

This article reviews the diagnosis and management of inherited epidermolysis bullosa and reports no new clinical findings; it emphasizes the importance of clinical and histopathological evaluation.

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 zebrafish with a mutation in the GDP-fucose biosynthesis gene exhibited enhanced and faster regeneration of mechanosensory hair cells, implicating the importance of this gene and Notch signalling regulation in hair cell regeneration mechanisms.

In this study, tebentafusp-tebn improved overall survival in patients with metastatic uveal melanoma compared to standard therapies, despite higher rates of significant adverse events.

This manuscript describes two case reports of preterm newborns with a rare homozygous mutation in the epidermal growth factor receptor, leading to severe health issues and early mortality despite supportive care.

Mutations in β1 integrins cause embryonic death but have milder effects on skin.

This study found that Dab2 conditional knockout mice experienced delayed hair follicle cycles and reduced hair follicle stem cell activity, suggesting Dab2's crucial role in regulating stem cell activation and anti-aging process in hair follicles.

This study found that alopecia areata patients have higher odds of certain comorbidities like ulcerative colitis and vitiligo, while showing lower odds for conditions like hypertension and type 2 diabetes compared to healthy controls.

In this case report, researchers described a female child with total alopecia due to a mutation in the SNRPE gene, emphasizing the need for updated genetic testing as knowledge advances to avoid diagnostic delays in hereditary nonsyndromic hypotrichosis.

This study found that downregulation of EGF and KGF signaling is necessary for hair follicle initiation in placodes, revealing a new role for KGF in hair follicle formation in mice.

This study found that inhibiting C/EBP transcription factors in mouse skin reduced papilloma formation and caused systemic hair loss, suggesting C/EBP may be a potential therapeutic target.
