November 2024 in “European Journal of Pharmacology” This study demonstrates that MitoQ can alleviate symptoms of androgenetic alopecia (AGA) by targeting mitochondrial dysfunction and enhancing CYP19A1 expression, which regulates the WNT/β-catenin signaling pathway. In a mouse model of DHT-induced hair loss, MitoQ was shown to reverse hair growth reduction and mitigate apoptosis caused by decreased CYP19A1 expression. Network pharmacology identified 75 drug targets and 367 disease targets, highlighting MitoQ's potential in hormonal response and transcriptional regulation pathways. These findings suggest that MitoQ could be a promising therapeutic intervention for AGA, with CYP19A1 as a valuable target.

January 2016 in “Development” The study demonstrated that the transcription regulators YAP and TAZ were essential for maintaining skin homeostasis by promoting the proliferation of basal layer stem/progenitor cells. In both mouse and human skin, YAP and TAZ localized in the nucleus of basal layer cells, regulated by integrin-Src signaling. Deletion of YAP and TAZ in mice resulted in slowed cell proliferation, hair loss, and impaired wound healing, underscoring their role in skin regeneration. The research highlighted the importance of integrin-Src and EGFR-PI3K signaling pathways for YAP nuclear localization, which was crucial for cell cycle progression and growth. Additionally, YAP acted as a sensor of epithelial cell polarity, with its localization influenced by apical-basal polarity signals. These findings provided insights into the molecular mechanisms of skin renewal and the potential impact of YAP and TAZ on skin-related conditions and cancer.

April 2020 in “American Journal Of Pathology” The document reviewed the pathobiology of skin aging, identifying it as a degenerative process influenced by intrinsic and environmental factors, leading to structural changes such as epidermal thinning, loss of dermal papillae, and decreased collagen and elastin, which contribute to wrinkles and sagging. It highlighted the role of stem cell dysfunction, genetic factors, and immune system decline in skin deterioration, noting increased susceptibility to infections and skin cancer. The review argued for recognizing skin aging as a disease due to its health implications and variability among individuals. It also discussed the psychological impact of skin aging and advocated for public health strategies to mitigate its progression. The document emphasized the complex interplay between skin aging, stem cell function, and immune response, suggesting potential interventions like targeting sirtuins to reverse aging effects.
