This study suggests that prolactin has complex, gender- and location-dependent effects on human hair follicles, promoting hair growth in female frontotemporal scalp areas while inhibiting it in male occipital regions.

This review examines current knowledge on human epithelial hair follicle stem cells, their markers, and outlines challenges in translating findings from murine studies to human research, but does not report new experimental results.

This study found that when metabolism changes and extracellular glucose decreases, hippocampal CA3 neurons release ATP, which is converted to adenosine and reduces neuron excitability, enhancing the seizure threshold.

This study found that matriptase, a membrane serine protease, is crucial for maintaining multiple types of epithelial tissues in mice, with its absence leading to severe organ dysfunction and increased permeability.

This study compared the microscopic treatment zones created by different fractional lasers and radiofrequency in swine skin, finding distinct patterns and damage levels for each technology.

This study found that stress increases the number of peptidergic nerve fibers and mast cell activity in mouse skin, suggesting a significant neuro-immune interaction under stress.

In this study, the researchers found that vitamin D and calcium signaling in keratinocytes are essential for normal skin regeneration after wounding, with deficiencies significantly delaying wound closure and re-epithelialization in mice.

This study found that finasteride treatment in male rats altered steroid hormone homeostasis and caused kidney damage, suggesting potential risks for patients with renal dysfunction on androgen or antiandrogen therapy.

Junctional proteins stabilize the inner root sheath and connect the companion layer in human hair.

This study reported that human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived skin organoids, used to model epidermolysis bullosa, have an epidermal-dermal junction largely lacking type VII collagen, which is important for skin structure.

In this study, researchers found that in growing skin tissue, epidermal wound healing occurs at the expense of normal skin development, as it impairs hair follicle growth and does not activate tissue morphogenesis genes.

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.

The study suggests that integrin β1 is crucial for maintaining liver microstructure and its absence may promote fibrosis by disrupting hepatocyte-extracellular matrix interactions and increasing TGF-β secretion.

This article outlines a protocol for scanning electron microscopy of murine skin and primary keratinocyte monolayers, providing a guide for sample preparation and examination.

This study highlights the efforts of the Oyemam Autoimmune Foundation in raising awareness and supporting lupus patients in Ghana, amid challenges like misdiagnosis and insufficient healthcare resources, revealing the impact of their advocacy and counseling initiatives on patients' lives.

This study found that the desmosomal protein desmoplakin is crucial for proper epidermal morphogenesis and radial intercalation in developing Xenopus embryos, affecting keratin organization and ectodermal structures.

This review discusses the role of mechanical forces in skin homeostasis and disease development, including their impact on conditions like keloids, androgenetic alopecia, and acral melanoma, and reports no clinical results; the authors propose modifying these forces as a potential therapeutic strategy.

This scoping review revealed that methods for measuring traumatic scar thickness using ultrasound are inconsistently reported and mainly remain in early research phases, highlighting a need for standardizing these methods to bridge the gap to routine clinical practice.

This study developed a triple drug delivery system using nanoparticles loaded with 5-fluorouracil, curcumin, and piperine to target breast tumors, demonstrating notable in vitro cytotoxicity and anti-metastatic potential in 3D tumor spheroids which suggests its promise for further preclinical evaluation.

This review discusses the potential of 3D cell cultures, particularly Patient-Derived Organoids, in advancing research on liposarcoma by addressing limitations of 2D cultures and animal models but reports no new experimental findings.

This study found that a combination of photoprotector and nighttime formulations with essential oils improved skin barrier function and structural characteristics in young men's oily, acne-prone, and photoaged skin.

In vitro skin models are improving but still need more innovation to fully replicate human skin.

This study demonstrates that confocal laser scanning microscopy can effectively visualize the rapid diffusion and penetration pathway of a dye into the hair follicle in fresh human scalp skin.

This study developed a 3D bioprinted skin model to mimic pemphigus vulgaris, providing a tool to study disease mechanisms and test targeted therapies by reproducing the architecture and pathogenic disruptions of native skin.

This study reviews the complex keratinization process in the epidermis, detailing how various factors regulate keratinocyte differentiation and emphasizing the importance of understanding this process for the pathogenesis of skin disorders like ichthyoses and psoriasis.

This study describes the structural composition of the skin's dermis in experimental animals, highlighting the arrangement of collagen, elastic, and reticular fibers as well as associated glands and muscles.

This study observed that mice with a Cx43 mutation exhibited slower and asynchronous hair regrowth with severe cuticle weathering, mimicking aspects of hair phenotype in some ODDD patients.

This study found that adding galeotomies to subgaleal tissue expander placement for post-burn alopecia resulted in faster scalp expansion and reduced complications of expander extrusion.

This study found that inhibitory neurosteroids synthesized within glial cells can reduce seizure frequency in epileptic animals by enhancing inhibitory transmission via γ-aminobutyric acid receptors.

This review discusses various forms of ichthyosis, including genetic and acquired types, detailing their characteristics, causes, and potential management strategies, but reports no new clinical results.
