This case study reports that a heterozygous missense GJA1 mutation, p.Gly138Ser, in a 2-year-old boy with oculodentodigital syndrome primarily resulted in syndactyly, fifth finger hypoplasia, and hypotrichosis, without neurological or craniofacial abnormalities.

In this study, the combination of keratin-gelatin from poultry feathers promoted early acceptance and viability of full-thickness skin mesh grafts in experimental dogs compared to other treatments.

In this study, CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ Regulatory T cells were found to reduce TGF-b1 induced lung fibrosis and fibrocyte accumulation in mice, partly by suppressing fibroblast growth factor 9.

In this article, researchers describe a novel FUE device designed to enhance follicular unit excision surgery by minimizing follicular injury and improving ergonomics with features such as Bluetooth functionality, fingertip touch sensors, and automated operation.

This study found that recombinant oleosin-hFGF5 expressed in Arabidopsis can inhibit hair regeneration by decreasing the proliferation of hair follicle epithelial cells.

This study found that oil body bound oleosin-rhFGF9 expressed in safflower seeds stimulated hair growth and enhanced wound healing in mice by possibly up-regulating β-catenin expression.

This study on feather pattern formation in chicken skin found that inhibiting gap junctional intercellular communication can lead to the emergence of new feather buds in specific spatial patterns, suggesting that GJIC may facilitate Turing-type periodic patterning by propagating inhibitory signals over long distances.

This summary reports that γδ T cells play a role in regulating hair follicle formation during wound healing in adult skin.

In this study, Flii overexpression in mice enhanced fingertip regeneration and nail formation after both distal and proximal amputations, suggesting a role in digit and hair follicle regeneration possibly involving Wnt signaling.

This study demonstrates that the amino-terminally shortened KGF-1 variant with 135 residues maintains biological activity, suggesting it may serve as an alternative to the original KGF-1 for certain therapeutic applications.

This study found that combining Concentrated Growth Factors with Follicular Unit Extraction significantly improved hair density and terminal hair ratio in men with androgenetic alopecia compared to FUE alone.

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

In this study, oil body-bound oleosin-rhFGF-10 was more efficiently absorbed through the skin and enhanced wound healing and hair growth in mice, compared to prokaryotically-expressed rhFGF-10.

In this study, a TGF-β mimic molecule from Heligmosomoides polygyrus was observed to enhance wound healing in mice, with improved tissue regeneration and specific immune cell recruitment without increased scarring.

This study demonstrated that engineered exosomes carrying EGF and FGF restored hair density and follicle integrity in an androgenetic alopecia mouse model by reactivating hair follicle growth factors, offering a novel therapeutic approach without immunogenic reactions or systemic toxicity.

This study found that transgenic mice expressing cgVEGF164 had increased hair follicle diameter and density, potentially linked to higher phosphorylation levels of ERK1/2, AKT1, and LEF1 proteins.

This study found that lncRNA RP11-818024.3 transfection promoted hair growth in AGA mice and increased cellular proliferation in vitro, potentially involving the FGF2 and PI3K-Akt pathways.

This article notes the importance of graft quality in hair restoration surgery, particularly in Follicular Unit Excision, but offers no new research findings.

This study found that continuous expression of epidermal growth factor in transgenic mice prevented hair follicles from entering the catagen phase, implicating EGF as a crucial regulator in hair cycle progression.

This study found that women with female pattern hair loss exhibited hormonal imbalances, with the Free Androgen Index being a particularly effective diagnostic marker.

In this study, HA-P5, a nanoparticle derived from peptide and polysaccharide conjugation, effectively reduced acne lesions and sebum production by inhibiting specific receptors in cells, without triggering unfavorable reactions compared to a commercial inhibitor, highlighting HA-P5's potential as a novel acne treatment.

In this review, extensive analysis using conditional mutant mice revealed that androgen and Wnt signals play crucial roles in the development and function of male external genitalia and erectile tissue, while also exploring various regulatory factors involved in their pathogenesis.

SPRY1 deficiency in skin cells causes stem cells to move to the skin surface, leading to increased pigmentation.

This study found that Shi-Bi-Man, a hair health supplement, significantly promoted hair growth in mice, likely through activation of the FGF signaling pathway.

This study identified a novel missense mutation in the FGF5 gene associated with the longhair phenotype in about 3% of Maine Coon cats, suggesting it may be a breed-specific variant.

This article describes a new T-Fast multi-implanter that potentially reduces operating costs and surgical time by implanting two follicular unit excision grafts simultaneously, which may encourage clinics to adopt this technique.

This study found that, in mice, different precursor populations give rise to Merkel cells in hairy versus glabrous skin, but their formation is controlled by a common genetic program involving FGFR2 signaling.

This study found that GDNF promotes hair formation and wound repair in mice by enhancing the function of bulge stem cells.
