This review discusses the potential applications of prostaglandin F2α analogs for certain types of alopecia and hypopigmentation, but reports no new experimental results.

This study found that treating mouse epidermal neural crest stem cells with EGF and FGF2 increased their proliferation and enhanced their neuronal differentiation potential.

This study found that Egyptian women with frontal fibrosing alopecia had lower serum PPARγ levels and a higher occurrence of PPARG gene polymorphism compared to healthy controls, suggesting a potential role for PPARγ in the condition's development.

The combination of a plant extract and a peptide can increase hair pigmentation and may reverse greying.

This study found that in noise-exposed FVB/NJ mice and cell models, ivacaftor reduced oxidative stress and hearing damage by maintaining CFTR function and increasing Nrf2 expression, suggesting its potential for treating noise-induced hearing loss.

This case study reports that a heterozygous missense GJA1 mutation, p.Gly138Ser, in a 2-year-old boy with oculodentodigital syndrome primarily resulted in syndactyly, fifth finger hypoplasia, and hypotrichosis, without neurological or craniofacial abnormalities.

This study demonstrated that PGF 2α significantly stimulates hair growth in human hair follicles via a receptor-driven mechanism, with a notably stronger response in intermediate follicles than in terminal ones, suggesting potential clinical significance for conditions like alopecia.

This study suggests that fibroblast growth factors FGF-4, FGF-8, and FGF-9 may play redundant roles as signals in epithelial-mesenchymal interactions during multiple stages of tooth development in mice.

This study evaluated the 308-nm excimer laser as an adjuvant treatment for frontal fibrosing alopecia and found it may stabilize hairline recession and improve erythema and perifollicular hyperkeratosis, with transient erythema as the only reported adverse effect.

Fgf9 helps create new hair follicles after injury through skin T cells.

This study found that FucoPol hydrogel membranes can effectively deliver model drugs such as caffeine and diclofenac sodium via different loading methods, with notable mechanical and release properties, suggesting their potential as platforms for topical drug delivery.

This study found that C. japonicum flower extract significantly increased melanin content and cellular activity in human melanocytes and may improve follicular depigmentation and vitiligo through cAMP signaling.

This study identified a new genotype, V281+I172N/V281L, linked to non-classical 21-hydroxylase deficiency, suggesting it should be considered in genetic panels for the condition.

This study indicates that a helminth-derived protein, TGF-β mimic, may accelerate wound healing and promote regenerative processes in skin tissue by interacting with TGF-β receptors.

This study reported that GFP labeling driven by the K15 promoter enables visualization and selection of stem cells in adult human scalp hair follicles for further analysis and manipulation.

This study found that treating human dermal fibroblast cells with ginsenoside Rd increased the expression of mRNA associated with the dermal-epidermal junction, suggesting potential as an anti-aging cosmetic ingredient.

This study identified the FGF5:c.578C>T variant as linked to long hair in Akitas in Japan and suggests that genetic testing could help improve their breeding practices and welfare.

This study found that EGF and KGF were expressed at different levels in the skin of Gansu alpine Merino sheep, suggesting these factors influence wool fineness.

Among females with nonclassical 21-hydroxylase deficiency, this study found that low-dose glucocorticoid treatment improved fertility outcomes by increasing pregnancy and live birth rates while reducing miscarriage rates.

This study suggests that nerve growth factor may support hair follicle growth in Liaoning cashmere goats through pathways involving its receptor, TrkA, particularly during the anagen phase.

This report describes three cases of erythromelanosis follicularis faciei et colli showing significant improvement in facial telangiectasia following treatment with a 595-nm pulsed dye laser, with minimal recurrence observed during follow-up.

This study found that GLI2 plays a key role in activating follistatin, an activin/BMP antagonist, in response to hedgehog signaling in human epidermal cells, with implications for hair follicle development and basal cell carcinoma.

This study found that fermented red ginseng marc alleviated atopic dermatitis-like symptoms in mice, demonstrating antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects similar to those of dexamethasone.

This study found that radiofrequency treatment, with or without hydrolyzed collagen, increased dermis thickness, neocollagenesis, and FGF2 overexpression in rat skin tissue.

This study found that genipin-based pigments, accelerated by riboflavin and blue-light photocatalysis, achieved commercial-level hair dye results with enhanced gloss and excellent color retention while reducing cuticle disruption, offering a potentially safer and faster alternative to traditional hair coloration methods.

This study found that expression of GDNF and GFR α-1 proteins in human skin decreases with age, particularly in the epidermis, suggesting that their signaling pathways may be altered as people grow older.

In this study, topical application of fibroblast growth factors was found to promote hair growth by inducing and prolonging the anagen phase in telogenic C57BL/6 mice, suggesting potential as hair growth-promoting agents.

This study found that infrared thermography might be a useful non-invasive tool to help diagnose frontal fibrosing alopecia by identifying active phases of the disease.

In this study, oral administration of ginsenoside Rf from Panax ginseng promoted hair regrowth and increased hair thickness in a mouse model of androgenetic alopecia by enhancing androgen receptor degradation, highlighting its potential for cosmetic and functional food applications.
