This study found that increasing En1 expression in mouse epidermis can convert cutaneous appendages to eccrine sweat glands, suggesting a role for En1 in eccrine gland development.

Junctional proteins stabilize the inner root sheath and connect the companion layer in human hair.

This study used electron microscopy to identify a distinct dendritic cell in the human epidermis, similar to the melanocyte, with unique structural features and variable melanin content.

Ectodysplasin-A1 is crucial for developing hair, teeth, and glands.

This review provides an overview of the molecular evolution of corneous beta-proteins in reptiles and birds, highlighting their distinct genetic origin and role in epidermal structures, but reports no new results.

This study demonstrated the potential of epithelial cell scaffolds fabricated with various materials for effective hair regeneration, highlighting their promising application in tissue engineering for alopecia treatment.

This study observed that after hair cell loss in the mouse cochlea, supporting cells were replaced by migrating non-specialised cells, with genetic background affecting the rate of tissue re-organization.

This study found that rete ridge morphogenesis in mammalian skin is directed by a BMP-dependent developmental program, which is evolutionarily distinct from other known pathways controlling the development of hair follicles, sweat glands, and fingerprint ridges.

This study suggests that fibroblast growth factors FGF-4, FGF-8, and FGF-9 may play redundant roles as signals in epithelial-mesenchymal interactions during multiple stages of tooth development in mice.

This study observed that calcifying epithelioma of Malherbe is composed of tumor cells that differentiate into both hair cortex and outer root sheath, supporting its hair follicle origin.

This case study reports a peculiar variant of an epidermal cyst in a patient, featuring unique characteristics like brownish, lumpy contents resembling bone marrow.

This study investigated pilomatrixoma, a benign skin tumor, and found that irregular expression of β-catenin and Lef-1 in transitional cells may contribute to amorphous debris and cyst formation.

In this study, researchers found that deleting Med1, a key epigenetic regulator in dental epithelia, led to hair growth on mouse incisors by altering enhancer landscapes and causing a switch from dental to hair lineage transcription programs.

In this review, the authors highlight the crucial role of mesenchymal stem cells in dermatologic therapies, noting their potential to enhance skin structure and appearance through regenerative mechanisms like inflammation induction, angiogenesis, and recruitment of tissue-specific progenitors.

This study describes trichilemmal keratinization as a distinct process of hair follicle keratinization that occurs in specific areas of the outer root sheath, illustrated using electron microscopy on dog hair.

This study found that human dermal papilla cells are surrounded by a basement membrane-like extracellular matrix, which maintains their aggregated structure without strong cell‒cell contacts.

This study found that the development and differentiation of Merkel cells in C57BL mouse embryos' dorsolateral skin are linked to tylotrich follicle formation rather than to neural influences.

This study suggests that distinct chromatin topologies allow different lineage-specific enhancers to regulate Hoxd genes in mouse vibrissae and chicken feather primordia, while conserved regulatory elements maintain transcriptional robustness in the embryonic trunk across species.

This study found that incorporating dermal papillae cells and keratinocytes into dermal substitutes promoted better wound healing, reduced contraction, and enabled appendage formation in tissue-engineered skin on mice.

This report discusses a case of a rare congenital neck mass called a "wattle" or congenital cervical tragus, emphasizing its histological features and its association with other branchial arch anomalies.

This study developed the mTurquoise2-Col4a1 mouse model and used fluorescent tagging of collagen IV to offer new insights into basement membrane dynamics during hair follicle budding, revealing that basement membranes are flexible and stable structures in developing skin tissue.

In this study, a ferret with multiple health issues was diagnosed with a malignant apocrine gland adenocarcinoma on the prepuce, highlighting the aggressive nature of such tumors in this species and suggesting further investigation into cytologic features could provide insights into tumor behavior.

In this study, mouse models of 22q11.2 deletion syndrome showed that growth issues in small embryonic thymuses were linked to mesenchymal cells, which could be corrected by substituting with normal mesenchyme.

This study suggests that a specific subpopulation of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells, CMD, may enhance wound healing and tissue quality in chronic skin ulcers, with promising results in both murine and equine models.

This review article explores the potential of various mesenchymal stem cell populations derived from oral tissues, such as DPSCs and hPCy-MSCs, in bone tissue engineering and regeneration, detailing their high plasticity and clinical applications in dental procedures.
