This review discusses the development, lineages, functions, and roles of fibroblasts in fibrosis across four organs, highlighting their capabilities in tissue repair and contributions to fibrotic disorders when aberrantly activated, but it reports no new experimental findings.

This study found that inhibiting TGF-β receptors in adult dermal fibroblasts restored their function and increased resistance to Staphylococcus aureus infection by enhancing their adipogenic and antimicrobial capabilities.

This study suggests that exosomal miRNAs from human amniotic fluid stem cells may inhibit myofibroblast differentiation and reduce fibrotic scarring in wound healing.

This study observed that post-surgical use of chlorhexidine digluconate mouth rinse in patients may induce a fibrotic transformation in gingival tissue, promoting a scar-like wound healing response.

This review discusses the complexities of diagnosing polycystic ovary syndrome and reports no new results; the authors suggest a thorough and careful diagnostic approach to avoid misdiagnosis and unnecessary tests.

This study concluded that erosive lichen sclerosus is a distinct subtype marked by red patches on hairless skin, while ulcerated lichen sclerosus typically results from trauma in uncontrolled dermatosis.

In this source, recent single-cell RNA-sequencing advances reveal significant transcriptional heterogeneity among skin fibroblasts, and the discussion focuses on the distinct subtypes' roles in skin homeostasis, repair, and their evolution in fibrotic diseases like keloid scars and cancer.

This study reported that ginseng had a superior therapeutic effect on benign prostatic hyperplasia in rats, showing nearly normal histological architecture compared to finasteride's incomplete restoration.

This study reviews evidence that in keloid development, transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) drives fibroblast proliferation and fibrosis not only through the classical Smad-dependent pathway but also via equally important Smad-independent signaling cascades, suggesting these pathways as possible targets for more effective keloid therapies.

This review synthesizes current advances in transcriptomics and RNA regulatory networks, alongside stem cell-derived skin organoid research, to propose a conceptual framework for understanding and potentially guiding regenerative skin repair, without claiming clinical readiness.

In this study, researchers used a mouse model to demonstrate that expression of MARCKSL1 in dendritic cells plays a crucial role in modulating fibrotic responses and scar formation during wound healing, suggesting that targeting this expression could offer new therapeutic strategies for scar prevention.

This study investigated the role of the glycoprotein Thy-1 in hypertrophic scar formation using a murine model, finding that Thy-1 knockdown reduced scar size and encouraged functional regeneration by influencing the p38MAPK signaling pathway under high-tension conditions.

This study found that PBMCsec has anti-fibrotic effects on mouse and human skin scars by regulating pro-fibrotic gene expression and inhibiting myofibroblast differentiation and elastic fiber breakdown.

The systematic review reported promising outcomes for stem cell-enriched treatments in aesthetic medicine, such as improved skin rejuvenation, hair restoration, and scar revision. However, challenges like protocol variability and regulatory issues must be addressed to ensure effective and safe clinical applications.

This review explores current knowledge on fibroblast lineage specification and its impact on scar-free wound healing, noting that early fetal skin fibroblasts support regeneration, while later developmental shifts lead to fibrosis, highlighting potential strategies to reprogram adult fibroblasts for regenerative repair.

This study found that adipocytes in the interfacial white adipose tissue adjacent to fibrotic lesions in systemic sclerosis show unique phenotypes and contribute to the condition's pathogenesis.

This review discusses the role of epithelial–mesenchymal transition in cutaneous fibrotic disorders and highlights potential molecular targets for therapy, but reports no new clinical results.

In this review, the authors discuss the potential for cell therapy, such as hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and mesenchymal stromal cells, to treat severe psoriasis unresponsive to biological therapies, while highlighting the associated risks, costs, and regulatory challenges.

This study provides a framework for understanding different types of alopecias based on immune privilege collapse at specific follicular sites, revealing distinct patterns in immune effector programs and stromal influences depending on the alopecia type.

In this study, HPH-15, a newly synthesized compound, demonstrated potential in reducing skin fibrosis in a mouse model by targeting underlying pathogenic mechanisms and exhibited a good safety profile, warranting further clinical trials for fibrotic skin disorders like systemic sclerosis.

This review discusses the potential of mesenchymal stem/stromal cells and their exosomes in promoting wound healing and skin regeneration, but reports no new experimental results.

In this review, the researchers highlight the role of fibroblasts in regulating the extracellular matrix and immune responses, emphasizing the impact on macrophages and potential therapeutic insights for fibrotic diseases and cancer.
