This study found that sebum excretion is not increased in women with female pattern hair loss, suggesting nonandrogenic factors may contribute to hair loss in some women without hirsutism.

This study found that the transcription factor Meis2 regulates the maturation and innervation of sensory neurons in mice, affecting their response to light touch.

This study found that upper-bulge epidermal stem cells in mouse hair follicles are specialized for nerve interactions, crucial for forming tactile sensory units, and influence touch responses via EGFL6 and αv integrin pathways.

This case study describes a child with an unusual form of vitamin D-dependent rickets, characterized by alopecia and a deficient response to active vitamin D.

This case study reported that absence of alopecia does not reliably predict responsiveness to vitamin D treatment in Vitamin D-dependent rickets type II, as demonstrated by a patient with normal hair growth who showed extreme resistance.

This study found that the transcription factor Meis2 is crucial for the maturation and innervation of sensory neurons responsible for light touch in mice, with its absence leading to reduced touch sensitivity.

This study found that Piezo2 channels are primarily located on sensory axon membranes in mechanosensory end organs, supporting a model where mechanical stimuli activate Aβ RA-LTMR neurons via axon protrusions.

This study identified the TALE homeodomain transcription factor Meis2 as a crucial regulator for the maturation and end-organ innervation of certain mechanoreceptors in mice, with its absence leading to altered sensory neuron structure and impaired touch sensitivity.

This study describes a case of vitamin D resistant rickets in a young girl due to end organ unresponsiveness, highlighting a possible new subtype of the disorder with distinct clinical features.

This study found that castration in male rats reduced cardiovascular and inflammatory impacts of endotoxemia, and these effects were influenced by testosterone biosynthesis pathways.

Minoxidil controls blood pressure but may cause kidney damage and needs diuretics to prevent swelling.

This study found that disrupting testosterone biosynthesis in male rats mitigated cardiovascular and autonomic impairments caused by endotoxemia, indicating testosterone's significant role in these conditions.

This study found a direct correlation between the testicular feminization gene and decreased androgen receptor activity, potentially explaining the androgen insensitivity in affected individuals.

This study established an androgen-responsive human organ culture model using hair follicles, demonstrating that women's intermediate facial follicles grow more hair in response to men's higher androgen levels.

In this study, finasteride treatment for two years did not significantly reverse miniaturized hair follicles in men with male pattern hair loss, challenging the "reversal hypothesis" as 79 out of 113 miniaturized hairs remained unchanged.

This study observed that Ptprq mutant mice exhibit significant abnormalities in hair bundle structure and vestibular dysfunction, suggesting similar issues may contribute to hearing loss and vestibular problems in humans with PTPRQ mutations.

This study examined the complex morphology of the cornified claw sheath in domesticated cats, uncovering structures and growth patterns that help maintain sharp claw tips essential for climbing and prey capture.

This study found that a gene from hamster flank organs is indirectly regulated by androgens, despite lacking direct androgen responsive elements, indicating involvement of androgen-dependent transcription factors.

This article explores how extrafollicular environments and stem cell configurations influence hair and feather regeneration but provides no new experimental results.

This article reviews the clinical characterization and potential treatments for androgenetic alopecia, highlighting minoxidil's efficacy in hair regrowth and noting the need for further genetic research; it reports no new clinical results.

This report describes siblings with vitamin D-dependent rickets type 2, characterized by growth retardation, alopecia totalis, and low 25(OH)D3 levels, highlighting its autosomal recessive pattern and distinction from other rickets types.

This study concluded that terminal Schwann cells are essential for the maintenance and regeneration of mechanosensory lanceolate complexes at hair follicles in adult mice.

This study discovered that the transcription factor FoxA is crucial for the regeneration of the planarian pharynx, revealing its new role in organ-specific regeneration.

This review discusses various approaches to treating alopecia, including drug therapy and hair transplantation, but reports no new research findings; the authors highlight the need for novel techniques like cell culturing.

This study demonstrated that PGF 2α significantly stimulates hair growth in human hair follicles via a receptor-driven mechanism, with a notably stronger response in intermediate follicles than in terminal ones, suggesting potential clinical significance for conditions like alopecia.

This study found that activating Nrf2 in human hair follicles significantly reduced oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation, and protected against hair growth inhibition, suggesting a protective role for Nrf2 against redox insult in this context.

This study suggests that finasteride treatment may improve pulmonary immune response in mice following trauma and sepsis, indicating potential as a therapeutic option after major trauma.

This study found that finasteride may improve pulmonary and hepatic immune responses in mice when administered after major trauma and hemorrhage.

This study reports on a new semantic annotation approach used to identify substances in MEDLINE abstracts responsible for adverse drug reactions, with promising performance shown by a prototype system.
