In this study, researchers discovered that ROR2, a Wnt receptor, plays a crucial role in regulating hair follicle stem cell self-renewal and maintenance, compensating for the absence of β-catenin.

This review discusses various Wnt pathway modulators developed between 2014 and 2020, highlighting their potential as treatments for diseases like cancer and osteoarthritis, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that chi-miR-30b-5p was more expressed in the telogen phase than in the anagen phase and inhibited dermal papilla cell proliferation by targeting CaMKIIδ.

This study suggests that 3,4,5-tri-O-caffeoylquinic acid activates β-catenin to enhance pigmentation in mouse hair follicles, human melanocytes, and melanoma cells during the hair cycle's growth phase.

This study found that combining microneedling with 5% minoxidil improved hair growth in Chinese men with androgenetic alopecia, possibly through activating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

This study reported that exogenous R-spondin-1 can restore hair follicle neogenesis in adult mouse cells, highlighting differences in gene expression and signaling pathways between fetal and adult dermal papilla cells.

Using a combination of specific cell cycle regulators is better for safely keeping hair root cells alive indefinitely compared to cancer-related methods.

This study suggests that hydroxypinacolone retinoate (HPR) may be an effective alternative to tretinoin for anti-aging skin treatments, offering similar collagen production benefits without increased skin irritation.

This study investigated the genetic basis of coat color variation in cattle using skin transcriptome and whole-genome analyses, identifying the ASIP gene as a significant determinant that is differentially expressed and under strong positive selection in black and brown cattle breeds.

In this review, researchers explored the multifaceted role of NF-κB signaling in various biological processes and diseases, including its interactions with other pathways, and discussed possible therapeutic approaches targeting this pathway for treating conditions like cancer, autoimmune disorders, and COVID-19.

This study demonstrated in rodent models that artificial dermal template treatment can induce full-thickness skin regrowth including skin epidermis and adnexa without the need for autologous skin grafts.

In a hamster model of COVID-19, this study observed that both low and high doses of testosterone worsened illness in males, while finasteride prevented severe outcomes.

In a conditional knockout mouse model, this study found that loss of the transcription elongation factor SPT6 in basal keratinocytes led to psoriasis-like skin inflammation and delayed wound healing, suggesting SPT6 plays a crucial role in maintaining epidermal immune quiescence by suppressing proinflammatory NF-κB signaling.

In this study, the researchers found that deleting ceramide synthase 4 in the skin's epidermis alters stem cell differentiation, disrupting hair follicle structure and barrier function, potentially leading to immune responses similar to atopic dermatitis.

This study found that AP-2α and AP-2β transcription factors are crucial for maintaining adult skin homeostasis, with their inactivation in keratinocytes leading to impaired differentiation, hair abnormalities, and inflammation, highlighting their key regulatory roles.

This review investigates molecular mechanisms behind PCOS pathogenesis and discusses potential therapies, but reports no new clinical results.

This study demonstrated that disrupting EGFR signaling in mice leads to immune sensitivity compromising the hair follicle's protective environment, but JAK1/2 inhibition can restore this immune privilege and stimulate hair growth, suggesting a potential therapy for scarring hair loss diseases like cicatricial alopecia.

This study identifies key transcriptomic features and a necessary dermal niche for eccrine gland development, advancing potential regenerative approaches for these vital skin appendages.

This study reports that in aged mice, hair follicle dermal stem cells exhibit diminished self-renewal and preferential differentiation into dermal sheath cells, contributing to age-related hair loss.

This study found that both Th1 and Th2 cytokine markers were elevated in the serum and skin of patients with alopecia areata, with Th2 markers more closely linked to disease severity.

This study found that activation of the transcription factor Nrf2 in keratinocytes promotes wound healing in mice by expanding hair follicle stem cells, independent of changes in keratinocyte proliferation or migration.

In this study, topical tofacitinib significantly promoted hair regrowth in mice, outpacing both minoxidil and controls over 21 days, with findings suggesting increased VEGF levels and decreased inflammation as possible mechanisms.

Skin-derived stem cells could help treat skin aging and pigmentation issues.

In this study, researchers observed that knocking down the LPA 4 receptor in zebrafish embryos led to vascular and lymph vessel development abnormalities, including edema and decreased heartbeats.

This review discusses the diverse roles of Frizzled proteins in developmental and homeostatic processes and reports no new experimental findings.

Zeb2 is crucial for nerve repair by controlling Schwann cell function.

This study confirms that zebrafish engineered with Cantú Syndrome mutations in ABCC9 and KCNJ8 genes exhibit gain-of-function characteristics in their cardiovascular KATP channels, similar to mammalian counterparts.

Fgfr2b helps maintain healthy skin and prevent cancer.

This study discovered that the gene Tfap2b identifies a melanocyte stem cell population in zebrafish, essential for regenerating melanocytes with multi-fate potential into adult pigment cells.

In this study, researchers found that Fgf21 knockout mice exhibited delayed hair follicle cycling compared to wild-type mice, potentially due to altered miRNA interactions affecting Vezf1 and Map3k1 expression, providing insights into the molecular regulation of hair growth.
