This publication provides a standardized nomenclature for classifying microscopic lesions in laboratory rat and mouse skin, aiming to harmonize international toxicological research.

This study in mice found that overexpressing Sonic Hedgehog in basal cells caused skin anomalies and a lack of certain hair fibers, underscoring its key role in hair follicle development.

This review discusses the use of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) for treating skin diseases and suggests they show promise for improving conditions like wounds and scleroderma, but more research is needed due to varied study designs and endpoints.

In this study, researchers found that human fingerprint ridges are formed through a modified hair follicle developmental process and spatial patterns influenced by specific signaling pathways.

In this study, researchers found that overexpression of the Hedgehog signaling effector Gli2 in mice led to odontogenic keratocysts development, implicating GLI transcription factors in human keratocyst pathogenesis.

Monilethrix involves multiple genes affecting hair structure, including DSG4 mutations.

A mutation in the KRT25 gene causes woolly hair and hair loss.

This study found that mutations in type I IRS keratin genes disrupt keratin protein complexes in mice, suggesting crucial roles for these genes in proper hair coat formation.

This study found that extracellular vesicles derived from hair follicle mesenchymal stromal cells demonstrated similar potential to those from adipose tissue in promoting cell proliferation and migration, enhancing angiogenesis, and protecting cells under stress, suggesting promise for chronic wound treatment.

In this study, transiently activating the sonic hedgehog signaling pathway in chickens transformed reticulate scales on the feet into feathers comparable to body feathers, without ongoing treatment, suggesting this pathway affects the diversity of bird skin appendages.

This study found that MED1 plays a role in maintaining keratinocyte quiescence and hair follicle stem cell populations, as its absence in mice led to increased keratinocyte proliferation and reduced stem cell numbers.

This study found that hair follicles play a significant role in regulating skin barrier function, with disruptions in the upper hair follicle affecting the epidermis, influencing processes like desquamation and sebum release, and leading to cell movement into the epidermis.

This case report identifies a novel CDH3 gene mutation associated with hypotrichosis with juvenile macular dystrophy in a 13-year-old Turkish girl, highlighting implications for future genetic analysis and counseling.

This study identified biallelic variants in the LSS gene as a possible genetic cause of palmoplantar keratoderma-congenital alopecia syndrome type 2, highlighting the role of cholesterol synthesis in skin cornification.

This study found that RSPO1 mutations in patients with a 46XX disorder of sexual development contribute to impaired skin integrity and increased risk of squamous cell carcinoma in areas subject to friction.

In this study, researchers found that dentin sialoprotein and phosphophoryn are present in rat and mouse hair follicles, suggesting these proteins may play a role in hair follicle development, similar to their role in dentin mineralization.

This chapter reviews the methodology for isolating and differentiating CD34+ HAP stem cells into neural cells, but provides no new research results.

This review discusses various types of stem cells used in regenerative medicine, including adult stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), and evaluates them based on their embryonic tissue origins to explore new therapeutic approaches.

This study identified a new genetic variant in the KRT71 gene responsible for a breed-specific form of hypotrichosis in Hereford cattle, potentially serving as a model for similar human conditions.

This study found that desmosomal adhesion plays a crucial role in epithelial morphogenesis and cell positioning, equivalent in importance to that of adherens junctions.

This article proposes a hypothesis that KRT75, a protein found in hair follicles, was evolutionarily co-opted by ameloblasts during the development of prismatic enamel in synapsids, but reports no new results.

This study found that retinoic acid induces epidermal transdifferentiation into mucosal epithelium in both chick and mammalian embryonic skin, involving specific gene expressions and pathways.

A 4kb fragment of the desmocollin 3 promoter targets gene expression to specific skin and hair follicle areas.

This study found that plucked hair follicles can serve as a practical and scalable source for regenerative medicine, as researchers successfully isolated and expanded keratinocytes and mesenchymal stem cells for potential cell-based and cell-free therapies, demonstrating significant wound-healing bioactivity in vitro.

This study found that SCUBE3 protein is upregulated in various cancers, promoting tumor growth and poor outcomes, while suppressing growth in renal cell carcinoma, and may serve as a diagnostic marker and potential therapeutic target for several diseases due to its secreted nature.

This study used developing mouse hair follicles to explore early epithelial bud formation, finding that the Rho GTPase regulator ARHGEF3 plays a crucial role in regulating cell fate and cadherin patterning, with knockouts showing disrupted morphology and increased straight hair follicle growth.

This case report describes a rare instance of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease in a 21-year-old Asian woman, highlighting unusual oral manifestations such as tooth discoloration and misalignment, which expand the known clinical spectrum of the disorder.

In this case study, the researchers reported that surgical debridement combined with targeted dermatological and antimicrobial therapy effectively managed chronic lower-limb wounds in a patient with keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness syndrome, underscoring the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in treating this rare condition.

In this review, it is discussed how mesenchymal stem cell aggregation plays a crucial role in organ development and has potential applications in organ regeneration through tissue engineering.
