Noggin promotes skin tumors by activating certain cell signaling pathways.

This letter to the editor discusses a case of delayed-onset pachyonychia congenita linked to a new mutation in keratin 6b but presents no new research findings.

In this study, researchers demonstrated that the Id2 gene acts as a direct target and effector of BMP signaling, playing a key role in maintaining quiescence in hair follicle stem cells in vivo.

This study found that the WIF1 gene may play a crucial role in hair follicle growth and development in Angora rabbits by regulating specific genes and proteins.

This article reports a case of late onset linear and unilateral basaloid follicular hamartoma in an elderly male, highlighting the clinical presentation, histopathological findings, and planned treatment approach.

This study found that a newly identified gene, mK17n, may explain the lack of nail issues in mK17 null mice by compensating for mK17's function in the nail bed.

In this study, D-OCT imaging revealed distinct structural and vascular changes in patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia, highlighting the technique's potential for diagnosing and monitoring the condition's activity.

This study used a novel fluorescent tagging method in mice to observe collagen IV dynamics during hair follicle development, revealing that alterations in basement membrane turnover can influence epithelial progenitor cell behavior and organ morphology by affecting cell proliferation and movement.

This study concluded that macrophage iron retention due to Ferroportin inactivation hinders skin wound healing but does not affect liver damage or fibrogenesis in a mouse model.

In this study, researchers found that BST2 expression is significantly upregulated in skin sections of mice with alopecia areata, implicating BST2's role in the disease pathogenesis through the action of epidermal γδ T cells and macrophages.

In this study, tebentafusp-tebn improved overall survival in patients with metastatic uveal melanoma compared to standard therapies, despite higher rates of significant adverse events.

Fibroblast bioelectric signaling can promote hair growth and may help treat hair loss.

The researchers reported that the novel MBTPS2 variant p.Glu172Asp found in a male proband is likely pathogenic, consistent with osteogenesis imperfecta symptoms and molecular signatures, including disrupted fatty acid metabolism and collagen production.

This study identified the c.1204G to A (p.E402K) mutation in the hHB6 gene as a cause of monilethrix in a Chinese family, highlighting the gene's role in the condition.

This study suggests that FGF18 may enhance radioresistance in telogen hair follicles by inducing cell cycle arrest, potentially serving as a radioprotector against radiation-induced hair follicle damage.

This review examines the role of neurotrophins in hair follicle development and remodeling, highlighting potential therapeutic applications for hair growth disorders, but it reports no new empirical findings.

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 found that the mitotic arrest deficient protein MAD2B negatively affects TCF4-induced growth and proliferation of dermal papilla cells, which are vital for hair follicle development.

This study adds evidence suggesting a genetic component to frontal fibrosing alopecia, with daughters experiencing an earlier onset than their mothers, although the clinical pattern remains similar to non-familial cases.

This review discusses the role of the CXXC5 protein as a transcription factor and signaling coordinator, noting its involvement in embryonic development, tissue homeostasis, and diseases such as tumorigenesis, but reports no new experimental findings.

This study identified a novel mutation, R430Q in the KRT86 gene, in a Han family with monilethrix, which may contribute to the disease's pathogenic mechanism.

This study observed that repeated hair follicle sampling is feasible and reliable for measuring FMR1 mRNA and FMRP in individuals with Fragile X syndrome, supporting its use in longitudinal studies.

In this study, transfection experiments showed that mutations in the K85 gene affect filament formation with K35, which may impact hair formation related to ectodermal dysplasia.

In this study, specific SNPs in the FST gene were significantly associated with various wool quality traits in Chinese Merino sheep, suggesting potential markers for breeding programs.

A common mutation in the hHb6 gene is linked to monilethrix, but other factors may also play a role.

Wnt/β-catenin signaling is crucial for cell fusion in placental development.

This study observed that GREM2 was specifically and robustly expressed in the dermal sheath cup of hair follicles during various hair cycle phases, suggesting its significant role in regulating hair cycling processes through BMP signaling.

This study suggests that fibromodulin may regulate transforming growth factor-β activity during scar formation, influencing the transition from fetal scarless repair to adult scar-forming repair in rats.
