This study identified and characterized human hair-specific keratin genes, revealing their sequence homology with mouse counterparts and expression in hair follicle precortical cells.

This overview discusses advancements in the understanding of molecular genetics in heritable keratinization disorders, focusing on recent cases of inherited ichthyosis, and reports no new clinical results.

This study evaluated new aqueous gel formulations of minoxidil without irritants and found that the calcium alginate gel showed the best performance in terms of drug release and skin permeation.

This study found that GelMA/HAMA bioink shows promise for 3D printing skin equivalents, as it effectively mimics the native skin's properties and supports hair follicle structure development.

This study found that gelatin microspheres delivering adipose-derived stem cells significantly accelerated diabetic wound healing in rats, suggesting a promising approach for enhancing cell-based therapies.

This review summarizes recent research on the molecular properties and functions of L-PGDS and PGD2, but reports no new findings, highlighting their pathophysiological roles and guiding future studies.

This study reports that the mechanical interactions between human skin and adjacent subcutaneous white adipose tissue influence the appearance of skin wrinkles, with sWAT reinforcement potentially more effective for reducing signs of skin aging than skin reinforcement alone.

This study found that in Liaoning cashmere goats, the BMP4 gene shows increased transcription from the anagen stage to telogen, and higher gene methylation correlates with reduced expression in skin tissue.

This case report describes a 66-year-old man with frontal fibrosing alopecia, a rare lichen planopilaris variant, presenting with scarring alopecia at the hairline and extensive body hair loss.

This study identified an association between the FTO gene and susceptibility to PCOS, providing the first genetic evidence linking PCOS to obesity.

A new genetic mutation in mice causes permanent hair loss and skin wrinkling.

Keratin gene clusters in humans and marsupials are similarly organized.

In this study, researchers used a hypospadiac rat model to demonstrate abnormal genital development, similar to human penoscrotal hypospadias, highlighting the model's value for studying penile growth and differentiation.

This study found that transfecting keratinocytes with the 1α-OHase gene enhances local production of 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, suggesting a potential new therapy for skin conditions like psoriasis without causing hypercalcemia or resistance.

This study found that mutations in certain keratin genes significantly affect wool traits in Chinese Merino sheep, suggesting these genes could be important for sheep breeding to improve wool quality.

In this study, a multifunctional microneedle patch made from silk fibroin-methacryloyl and gelatin methacryloyl was reported to significantly prevent bacterial infection and promote wound healing in vivo due to its antimicrobial silver nanoparticles and VEGF-loaded tips.

This review outlines best practices for providing culturally competent care to transgender patients and discusses considerations for assessing disease risk, but reports no new research findings.

This study found that genetically variant peptides from human hair can reliably identify individuals despite differences in age and storage conditions, provided environmental and processing factors are controlled.

This study isolated new geranylated coumarins from Mammea siamensis flowers and found that several of these compounds inhibit testosterone 5α-reductase.

This review discusses medical interventions that reproductive health experts can provide to transgender and gender diverse youth and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that inserting the Tβ4 gene into cashmere goats increased cashmere yield by 74.5% without compromising quality, suggesting potential economic benefits for goat breeding.

In this review, the authors examined guidelines and literature on the non-operative treatment of gender dysphoria, highlighting the importance of personalized, multidisciplinary care, and noting that such treatment is generally safe and effective according to WPATH and Endocrine Society recommendations.

The authors reviewed the mechanisms behind Kennedy's disease, noting advances in therapeutic strategies such as androgen deprivation and gene silencing that may soon expand treatment options for this incurable neuromuscular condition.

This paper reviews the genetic aspects of hair disorders and suggests that understanding these genes could advance treatment and diagnosis; it reports no new experimental findings.

This review discusses advancements and challenges in cutaneous gene therapy using direct and indirect techniques, noting that while clinical translation has begun, further developments are essential for progress.

This study reports that the mouse Scube3 gene is expressed in various tissues during embryonic development, including the neural tube, limb buds, developing tooth, hair follicle, and skeletal regions.

This study observed that patients undergoing indinavir/ritonavir therapy for HIV-1 frequently experienced reversible alopecia, likely due to retinoid-like effects, but these were independent of other retinoid-like skin manifestations.

This paper reviews genome-based personalized medicine developments using Web services for analyzing SNPs in reproductive potential but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that paeonol-loaded liposomal gels demonstrated antioxidant effects and relieved inflammation in AD-like mice, suggesting potential benefits for treating atopic dermatitis.

This study found that gelatin microspheres loaded with platelet-rich plasma enhanced wound healing in rats by improving inflammatory and angiogenic responses compared to untreated wounds or PRP alone.
