This study found that the absence of laminin α5 in adult mice's epidermal basement membrane led to keratinocyte hyperproliferation and immune cell changes, affecting hair follicle development through altered growth factor expression.

This study suggests that the absence of alpha5(IV)/alpha6(IV) chains in certain subepidermal basement membrane spots may relate to interactions with melanocytes in human skin.

This study found that the expression of laminin-511 and -332 was significantly increased in psoriasis skin lesions and may influence keratinocyte proliferation and apoptosis, suggesting a previously overlooked role in the disease's pathogenesis.

This study describes the use of a genetically engineered mouse model, mTurquoise2-Col4a1, to fluorescently label collagen IV and observe basement membrane dynamics during skin development, revealing its stability and pliability during rapid growth phases.

This study suggests that the MAEG protein may facilitate epithelial–mesenchymal interactions during hair follicle development by binding to RGD-binding integrins like α8β1.

This study found significant changes in gene expression related to skin structure and signaling pathways in AEC syndrome skin, offering new insights into the syndrome's molecular underpinnings.

This study reveals that basement membrane composition and structure in mouse hair follicles are specialized for distinct inter-tissue interactions, with laminin α5 being essential for maintaining these interfaces.

In this study, researchers found that changes in the extracellular matrix components, particularly fibronectin, laminin, and type IV collagen, during the rat vibrissa follicle growth cycle, suggest dynamic remodeling related to dermal-epidermal signaling.

This study reported that human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived skin organoids, used to model epidermolysis bullosa, have an epidermal-dermal junction largely lacking type VII collagen, which is important for skin structure.

This review highlights recent advances in understanding how the extracellular matrix regulates epidermal stem cell fate, emphasizing the importance of the hair follicle stem cell niche, but reports no new empirical findings.

This study demonstrates that α-parvin is crucial for epidermal morphogenesis and hair follicle development by mediating integrin-dependent adhesion and actin organization in keratinocytes.

This study suggests that a novel micropatterned dermal–epidermal matrix (μDERM) enhances keratinocyte function and epidermal morphology, offering potential improvements in skin substitute design for wound healing applications.

This study found that engineered reconstituted skin can form morphogenetic units that promote tissue patterning and hair regeneration, with certain signaling pathways restoring this ability in adult and fetal cells.

This study found that α3β1-integrin is crucial for maintaining normal hair follicle morphology in mice, as its deficiency leads to severe abnormalities despite not affecting interfollicular epidermal differentiation.

In this study, researchers found that the expression of laminin, collagen type IV, and fibronectin in fetal human skin begins in hair follicle germs and extends to epidermal cells by 21 weeks gestational age.

This study demonstrates that exfoliative cutaneous lupus erythematosus in German short-haired pointers involves a cellular and humoral immune response against the epidermal basement membrane, with poor response to immunosuppressive therapy.

This study found that women with androgenetic alopecia showing a positive immunoreactant profile responded well to combined therapy with minocycline, topical steroids, and red light, indicating an immunologically driven trigger.

This correspondence highlights existing research on pattern hair loss, discussing findings about immune deposits, lymphocytic infiltration, and responses to treatment, and calls for future well-controlled studies.

This study found that ILK deficiency disrupts hair follicle development by impairing cell polarity and laminin-511 assembly, but these defects can be partially reversed with exogenous laminin-511.

This study analyzed the distribution of adhesion molecules and extracellular matrix components in human fetal skin, suggesting their roles in hair follicle development.

In this study, severe diffuse hair loss in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus was associated with distinct clinical, dermoscopic, and histopathological features, which improved alongside treatment of the underlying condition.

In this study, trichocytes were shown to have potential for alternative differentiation, with mesenchymal cell influences playing a critical role in determining this process.

Eye lens capsules are the best for growing human skin cells.

Certain cells around hair follicles help improve skin regeneration for potential use in skin grafts.

Dermoscopy is useful for diagnosing and monitoring discoid lupus erythematosus by showing specific skin patterns.

This review discusses recent advancements in understanding how the extracellular matrix regulates epidermal stem cell fate and highlights the significance of ECM in stem cell maintenance and differentiation, with implications for regenerative medicine.

The document concludes that secondary syphilis cases are increasing and often misdiagnosed, pityriasis rubra pilaris can be distinguished from psoriasis by skin cell features, and different skin layers produce specific components during skin repair.

Dark skin has stronger barriers and structure due to specific gene activity.

This study found that conditional deletion of Mof in mice resulted in severe defects in skin development, including compromised epidermal differentiation and hair growth, leading to perinatal lethality.

This study reports that cannabinoid receptor type 1 may influence psoriasis development by modulating laminin-511 expression, suggesting a potential target for treatment.
