This article argues that prolactin may have a role in sebaceous gland function and suggests it could be a potential target for treating skin conditions, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study observed that overexpression of the enzyme ODC in transgenic mice caused hair loss and skin changes similar to human papular atrichia, suggesting that ODC might be involved in a critical hair follicle function pathway.

This review examines the major biomaterials used in skin wound healing and evaluates experimental therapies but reports no new research findings.

In this study, researchers characterized the retinal structure and function of the Oat^rhg mouse model of gyrate atrophy, finding localized atrophy without significant retina-wide functional impact, suggesting the model may be useful for testing new treatments using multimodal retinal imaging.

This review explores how low-energy He-Ne laser therapy may stimulate repigmentation in vitiligo by affecting mitochondrial pathways and melanocyte function, but does not report new clinical results.

This review discusses the role of RDH12 in vision, its structural and functional aspects, and related disease mechanisms, but reports no new clinical results; it aims to support therapy development for inherited retinal dystrophies.

This study discusses how chronic ethanol exposure and withdrawal affect GABAA receptor subunit expression and function, finding that some changes can be selectively blocked by certain drugs like diazepam and finasteride.

This review discusses immune privilege in anagen hair follicles and its collapse in alopecia areata, emphasizing the importance of restoring this function for effective management and disease relapse prevention.

This review explores the role of Foxn1 in mammalian skin biology, discussing its influence on hair follicle function and the potential for further research to enhance understanding of epithelial differentiation.

This study found that mutations in phosphorylation sites on the PIN3 protein disrupt its phosphorylation and subcellular trafficking, affecting auxin transport and root growth in a cell-type-specific manner.

The researchers concluded that their new reconstructed human epidermis model from plucked hair follicle-derived keratinocytes offers a safer and simpler alternative to traditional skin-derived models for studying epidermal function.

This study found that overexpression of Gsdma3 in mice led to epidermal hyperplasia, skin inflammation, and hair growth defects, suggesting gain-of-function mutations in Gsdma3 cause these conditions.

This review discusses recent findings on fibrotic lipodystrophy, highlighting the critical roles of lipid-filled cells in tissue function and their loss during fibrogenesis, with implications for fibrosis in tissues like skin, lung, and liver.

This study found that uric acid-linked microvascular dysfunction may play a role in alopecia areata, suggesting that targeting endothelial function and uric acid regulation could be a potential management strategy.

This study describes a method inspired by hair transplantation techniques to efficiently isolate eccrine sweat glands from human scalp hair grafts, potentially facilitating further research into their function.

In this study, different extracellular matrix types altered growth characteristics of cultured human dermal papillae cells but did not significantly affect their biological function-related characteristics.

This study identified a novel missense mutation in the hairless gene in a Polish family, which may contribute to congenital atrichia with papular lesions by affecting the gene's function.

In this laboratory study with rats, treatment with finasteride reduced dihydrotestosterone levels and fertility parameters, with a 30-day recovery period proving insufficient to fully restore sperm function and fertility.

This study found that IFN-γ plays a critical role in T cell activation and the pathogenesis of alopecia areata in C3H/HeJ mice.

This study identified specific miRNAs and mRNAs involved in the development of secondary hair follicles in cashmere goats, particularly noting a targeted relationship between chi-miR-30e-5p and DLL4.

This study in mice found that fractional photothermolysis can improve dermal scar formation by promoting slow, organized collagen regeneration with minimal myofibroblast activation.

This study observed a 31% decrease in antidepressant use among patients already using such medication before cosmetic surgery, suggesting a potential influence of cosmetic procedures on antidepressant needs.

This study found that mature leaves of Japanese 'Saijo' persimmon have the highest ascorbic acid levels, whereas polyphenol levels were high in both mature leaves and adventitious shoots but low in young shoots.

This study introduces a method using lentiviral delivery in mice to expedite analysis of factors crucial for hair follicle morphogenesis by enabling rapid gain- or loss-of-function studies.

Channels stay open for 24 hours, making laser treatment potentially effective for hair loss.

This study found that combining fractional erbium-glass laser therapy with topical minoxidil significantly improved hair density and diameter in men with androgenetic alopecia compared to using minoxidil alone over a 24-week period, with no serious adverse events reported.

This study demonstrates that bioengineered lacrimal gland germs can successfully develop and restore tear production and ocular surface protection in a mouse model with lacrimal gland dysfunction.

This study demonstrates that bioengineered salivary gland transplants can fully regenerate gland function, producing saliva and restoring normal swallowing in salivary gland-defective mice, offering potential for xerostomia treatment.

This review examines the adaptive value and mechanisms of seasonal coat colour moulting in birds and mammals, highlighting the challenge of camouflage mismatch and the necessity for evolutionary adaptation under climate change.

This study found that during late pregnancy in rats, there is an increase in extrasynaptic GABA A receptor number in granule cells of the dentate gyrus, linked to hormonal fluctuations.
