This review outlines the evolution of hair follicle engineering and its foundational discoveries, but reports no new experimental results.

This study found that Fibroblast growth factor-9 (FGF-9) accelerates epithelial invagination in engineered ectodermal organs and suggests its potential role in organogenesis and regeneration research.

This mini-review highlights emerging themes on how tissue stiffness, a fundamental material property, influences morphogenetic processes in living organisms, an area gaining increased attention alongside the role of mechanical forces in shaping cell behavior.

This study identifies a specific cell population, PDGFRα+/Sca1+/CD34+ mesenchymal cells, which play a crucial role in regenerating hair follicles by promoting the downgrowth phase of the hair cycle, offering insights into organ morphogenesis and stem cell niches essential for adult hair regeneration.

In this study, two unique mutations in the RBPJ gene were identified and linked to Adams-Oliver syndrome, confirming impaired DNA binding of mutated RBPJ as a factor in this rare genetic disorder.

LSD1 is crucial for regenerating hair cells in zebrafish.

This study found that older age at puberty may be associated with lower semen quality and altered reproductive hormone levels in young men, though only some results were statistically significant.

This study reports that newly diagnosed patients with Bachmann-Bupp syndrome exhibit a broader phenotype than previously documented, including late-onset seizures, and suggests a possible universal biochemical mechanism involving elevated ODC activity.

This study reviewed the use of 3D printing and bioprinting for tympanic membrane repair, comparing them with traditional materials and noting their clinical significance, while highlighting the need for further analysis of bio-ink selection strategies involving biopolymers, cells, and drugs.

A JAK1 variant causes hair loss, skin issues, and thyroid disease, but treatment with a specific inhibitor can help.

This study found that expression and variants of the KRT84 gene are associated with important wool traits in Gansu Alpine Fine-wool sheep, suggesting its potential use as a genetic marker for wool trait selection.

This study found that genes such as FGF5, FGFR1, and RRAS may impact the growth cycle of secondary hair follicles in Inner Mongolian Cashmere goats.

Injecting lentiviral vectors into early gestation mice effectively targets skin stem cells for potential gene therapy.

This study reveals that long non-coding RNAs influence cashmere fiber traits in goats by interacting with target genes involved in pathways affecting fiber diameter and color.

This review discusses advancements and challenges in laboratory-based tissue-expansion and transplantation techniques for facial wound healing, noting potential for stem cell therapies but highlighting the ongoing absence of skin features like hair follicles in cultured grafts.

This study explored a mechanism for making Turing pattern formations more predictable and robust by isolating pattern modes to prevent their sensitivity to initial conditions, which can lead to different outcomes from minor initial changes.

This study found that human hair exhibits significant deformation in its intermediate filaments under strain, with recovery taking about 1000 minutes, suggesting a self-healing period post-mechanical stress. Additionally, cuticle scales deform much less than the cortex, and the Poisson ratio aligns with soft matter properties.

This study suggests that the curly hair phenotype in Mangalitza pigs may involve complex gene interactions related to calcium signaling and lipid metabolism, rather than changes in TRPM2 or CYP4F3 expression.

This study identified four hub genes that are closely linked to the causative factors of androgenetic alopecia, suggesting potential diagnostic and therapeutic targets.

This study found that while molecular hair structures were nearly identical across individuals, genetic factors seem to influence specific lipid compositions, as seen in identical-patterned hair from parent-child pairs and identical twins, but not fraternal twins.

This study identified specific gene expression profiles during the intestinal regeneration of sea cucumbers, highlighting potential novel genes and advancing the understanding of regenerative biology in echinoderms.

Vertebrate skin evolved to be more specialized and complex, especially in land animals.

This review discusses the similar immune pathways and genetic risk factors of vitiligo and alopecia areata but reports no new clinical findings, emphasizing the potential for shared treatment research.

This review found that alopecia areata significantly impairs quality of life, particularly through embarrassment and self-consciousness, in children and adolescents.

This study found that the binding and release of BMP-2 from kerateine biomaterials are significantly influenced by pH and salt concentration, highlighting the potential for developing improved bone repair systems.

This article discusses postpartum depression, highlighting the necessity of antenatal and postnatal screening and individualized treatment plans to improve outcomes for mothers and children, but reports no new results.

This review reports no new results but highlights the secretory function of keratinocytes, focusing on how various secretions, notably growth factors, impact stem cell differentiation into keratinocytes.

This review highlights the potential of nanotechnology-based formulations in hair care and treatment, emphasizing how these innovative materials can enhance the stability, efficacy, and safety of active compounds while addressing the limitations of conventional formulations.

This study found that hypospadias in male children is significantly associated with genetic polymorphisms in the Steroid 5 alpha reductase type 2 gene, higher parental age, consanguinity, rural residence, and preterm labor, with maternal age and rural residence being the strongest independent predictors.

This case report describes a rare instance of pediatric idiopathic hypoparathyroidism in an 11-year-old Saudi boy, characterized by extensive cranial calcifications beyond the basal ganglia, with no other neurological abnormalities.
