Repetin is a protein involved in skin and hair development, binding calcium and compensating for other proteins when needed.

This case study highlights Erythromelanosis follicularis faciei et colli as an easily overlooked pigmentary disorder characterized by a distinctive triad requiring precise diagnosis for effective patient counseling and cosmetic management.

This report describes a 27-year-old patient with Ehler-Danlos syndrome who also presented with hypophosphatasia and mastocytosis, and suggests enzyme replacement therapy might alleviate symptoms in such overlapping genetic conditions.

This study demonstrated that EVs from pluripotent stem cell-derived mesenchymal stem cells improved recovery and function in ischemic lower limbs by enhancing angiogenesis through the ERK/MAPK signaling pathway.

This review discusses the evidence for using oral medications to treat central serous chorioretinopathy, highlighting eplerenone as having the most support despite a lack of robust efficacy across studies.

This issue information abstract introduces a collection of articles, including one on hair keratins' unique filament formation, without reporting new experimental findings itself.

This report presents a case of hereditary elliptocytosis in a 37-year-old woman with iron deficiency anemia, identifying a high percentage of elliptocytes in her blood after treatment.

This study found that the epirubicin-docetaxel chemotherapy regimen for metastatic breast cancer resulted in a clinical response in 55% of patients, with maintained global quality of life despite some impairments.

Scalp hair follicle cells help protect and heal skin in certain skin conditions.

This case study reports that pancreatic enzyme replacement and fatty acid supplementation improved symptoms of fat malabsorption and essential fatty acid deficiency in a patient with EDS-4.

This study found that enzyme replacement therapy in mice with a severe form of classical homocystinuria improved metabolic patterns and alleviated many clinical symptoms.

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 case study highlights that RDEB-mitis can be misdiagnosed in older adults, emphasizing the importance of accurate diagnosis as it does not require immunosuppressive treatment.

This study found that neutrophil-rich hair follicle inflammation caused by a monoclonal antibody targeting murine EGFR in mice involved TNFα and interleukin-1, suggesting these cytokines play a role in EGFR antibody-induced rashes in cancer patients.

This study reports that the monoclonal antibody BKN-1 specifically stained basal cell epithelioma cells and certain normal skin structures, indicating a similarity in keratin expression between the tumor and follicular epithelium below the isthmus portion.

This study found that estetrol (E4) significantly prolonged the anagen phase and increased hair matrix keratinocyte proliferation in cultured human hair follicles, suggesting its potential as a treatment for female pattern hair loss.

Ebastine may help regrow hair in alopecia areata patients.

Estrogen receptor α controls hair growth cycles and skin thickness in male mice.

This study found that Erdr1 expression was significantly reduced in the skin of patients with hair loss disorders, particularly alopecia areata, suggesting it may serve as a novel biomarker.

This study found that alopecia areata patients have higher odds of certain comorbidities like ulcerative colitis and vitiligo, while showing lower odds for conditions like hypertension and type 2 diabetes compared to healthy controls.

This study found that a silk fibroin/sodium alginate scaffold effectively delivers human umbilical mesenchymal stem cells to promote scarless wound healing and hair follicle regeneration in vivo by inducing specific cellular processes and mitigating endoplasmic reticulum stress.

This study found that Gelatinase A activity is linked to the absence of type VII collagen during human fetal skin development, indicating its role in remodeling the basement membrane zone.

This report summarizes recent cases of the rare condition erythromelanosis follicularis faciei et colli to illustrate its varied clinical presentations.

In this study, researchers developed EPO-derived peptides that enhanced hair growth by stimulating dermal papilla cells and increasing IGF-1 expression without triggering systemic erythropoietic effects in tested models, indicating a promising approach for treating hair loss.

This study observed that Nod factor stimulation in alfalfa roots leads to dynamic changes in the cytoskeleton and endoplasmic reticulum, suggesting a mechanism for root hair growth changes.

This review highlights preclinical and clinical advancements in gene and cell therapies for epidermolysis bullosa and ichthyosis, noting a recently FDA-approved gene therapy for recessive dystrophic EB.

This study found that a collagen patch made with fibroblast-derived extracellular matrix (fdECM) extracted from human lung fibroblasts enhanced wound healing by promoting wound contraction, angiogenesis, and skin remodeling in full-thickness skin wound models, including those with diabetic ulcers.

This study reports that Ca 2+ binding alters the dynamics and surface properties of PKD-like domains in Clostridium histolyticum collagenases, enhancing their stability and potentially aiding in collagen-targeting vehicle development.
