This study revealed that during fetal development, MITF and Mart-1 expressing melanocytes progress from the dermis to the epidermis and hair follicles, with MITF possibly marking follicular stem cells.

This study found that hydrogen peroxide interfered with scarless healing in a murine fetal wound repair model, potentially by inducing transforming growth factor-beta1, which may contribute to increased fibrosis.

This study observed that fetal hair follicle melanocytes varied in morphology and development stages, with melanosomes undergoing degradation into irregular pigment particles within keratinocytes.

This case report described a girl with a cervical lymphangioma whose hair texture unexpectedly changed due to Horner's syndrome following tumor resection surgery.

This study observed that pregnant women experienced an increase in hair cortisol concentrations, with primiparae having significantly higher levels in the last trimester compared to multiparae.

This study found that fetal canine hair follicle-derived stem cells exhibited pluripotency markers, suggesting potential for therapeutic applications in hair and skin repair.

This article reviews the clinical and biochemical features of genetic mutations affecting dihydrotestosterone production and their potential role in male pseudo-hermaphroditism, but presents no new clinical results.

This study found that in female dogs, exposure to free fatty acids increased androgen production, suggesting a potential link to factors characteristic of polycystic ovary syndrome.

This study suggests that fibromodulin may regulate transforming growth factor-β activity during scar formation, influencing the transition from fetal scarless repair to adult scar-forming repair in rats.

This study found that prenatal exposure to finasteride in rats led to permanent changes in developmental endpoints like anogenital distance and nipple retention, which were predictive of further reproductive tract malformations.

Stem cells in developing hair follicles move to specific areas as they mature.

This study demonstrated that high oral doses of finasteride caused external genital abnormalities in male rhesus monkey fetuses, but intravenous doses did not lead to abnormalities.

This study found that the development and differentiation of Merkel cells in C57BL mouse embryos' dorsolateral skin are linked to tylotrich follicle formation rather than to neural influences.

This study successfully developed a reproducible mouse model demonstrating fetal scarless wound healing, which may provide insights for minimizing scarring in adults.

This article reviews common hair growth abnormalities in children, emphasizing the importance of distinguishing normal development from potential signs of metabolic disorders and indicates no new clinical results.

This rat study suggests that 5α-dihydrotestosterone plays a critical role in inhibiting nipple development in male fetuses by causing the regression of the nipple anlage in utero.

Blood tests confirmed a baby in the womb had a CMV infection.

This study found that inhibiting the 5alpha-reductase 2 pathway in male rats affects brain sexual differentiation and leads to reproductive changes, including increased pre-implantation loss despite unchanged copulatory potential.

This study found that trichothiodystrophy can be diagnosed prenatally in the second trimester using an endoscopically-guided fetal eyebrow biopsy, with sulfur content analysis being the most reliable test.

This study shows that keratin 2e exhibits distinct temporal and regional expression patterns in fetal epidermis, suggesting different regulatory and functional roles from other epidermal keratins.

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 epimorphin is closely linked to developing hair follicles in human fetuses, suggesting it plays a significant role in hair follicle morphogenesis.

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 observed that reduced in utero exposure to the neurosteroid allopregnanolone increased anxiety-like behavior in female guinea pigs during the juvenile period without affecting long-term allopregnanolone levels.

This study reports that immunologically inert and skewed immune cell populations in developing human skin may contribute to wound healing and structural changes during skin development.

In this study, researchers found that the FoxN1, FoxE1, and FoxI3 genes are likely involved in hair follicle growth and development in cashmere goat fetuses.

This study identifies novel subpopulations of human epidermal melanocytes and specific transcriptional programs that differ from model organisms, providing insights into melanoma dedifferentiation.

This abstract highlights that preliminary results from the REDUCE trial indicate dutasteride may lower prostate cancer incidence by 23% in older men compared to a placebo.

This study found that blocking neurosteroid synthesis in pregnant sheep increased HPA axis activity, particularly under stress, suggesting neurosteroids help modulate stress response.

In this study, prenatal exposure to all-trans-retinoic acid in pregnant mice resulted in increased BrdU-positive nuclei in hair bulbs without altering hair follicle morphogenesis, suggesting potential for non-teratogenic studies on skin diseases.
