March 2022 in “Transgender Health” This review examines existing plastic surgery techniques for gender affirmation of the lower extremities, noting a lack of outcomes-based literature needed to establish best practices.
June 2024 in “European neuropsychopharmacology” This review discusses advances in understanding tickling sensations and proposes that knismesis hypersensitivity in autism spectrum disorder may be due to impaired sensory integration.
April 2025 in “Experimental Eye Research” In this study, researchers characterized the retinal structure and function of the Oatrhg mouse model of gyrate atrophy, finding localized atrophy without significant retina-wide functional impact, suggesting the model may be useful for testing new treatments using multimodal retinal imaging.
April 1987 in “Pediatric Research”
EfficientNet improves accuracy in diagnosing hair loss stages.
February 2024 in “Advanced Science” This study highlights that a novel radially aligned nanofiber scaffold with dual growth factor gradients significantly enhances wound healing, promoting cell migration, epidermal regeneration, and angiogenesis, ultimately leading to improved wound closure, immune regulation, and tissue remodeling compared to other groups.

August 2023 in “Development” In this study, researchers explored how hair follicle orientation is affected in the rosette fancy mouse and found that a mutation in the PCP gene Fzd6 caused reversed hair orientations in the posterior region, leading to the formation of unique whorls.
9 citations
,
November 2015 in “Plastic and reconstructive surgery/PSEF CD journals” This study found that human skin grafted onto certain immunodeficient mice resulted in proliferative scars with characteristics similar to human hypertrophic scars, suggesting these models may better represent the condition's natural history.
This study found that while 3D spheroid culture preserved sweat gland cell-specific markers better than 2D culture, their growth and structural organization were suboptimal, highlighting the need for improved culture systems.
3 citations
,
January 2021 in “Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology” This study observed that atopic dermatitis severity was associated with higher eosinophil counts and FLG variants, suggesting distinct endotypes that may require tailored treatment approaches.
43 citations
,
May 1999 in “Journal of Biological Chemistry” This study found that full-length Agouti protein modulates melanocortin receptor signaling through a dual mechanism involving competitive antagonism and receptor down-regulation, whereas the carboxyl-terminal fragment acts solely as a competitive antagonist.
April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that hair follicle stem cells in mice have an unexpected ability to adaptively determine their differentiation pathways, maintaining tissue architecture despite external stimuli.
2 citations

,
September 2010 in “International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery” This article discusses the importance of artistic hairline design and clear outlining in planning the recipient area for hair transplants but reports no clinical results.
This study found that hair follicles in mouse skin use common activator/inhibitor signals to maintain cyclical hair growth across different regions, with varying dynamics influenced by distinct anatomical domains.
June 2026 in “Institutional Repositories DataBase (IRDB)” Crickets have genetically controlled hair plates that help them sense and move their antennae.
This study found that the attractiveness of women's faces had a significant but weak effect on negative emotions among participants, while website background color influenced positive emotions with green being preferred.
51 citations
,
February 2004 in “Environmental Health Perspectives” This article analyzes various cases of weak or low-dose endocrine effects in laboratory animals and highlights challenges in data interpretation due to variability among controls, but reports no new experimental findings.
