This review summarizes the potential of single traditional Chinese medicines and extracts in preventing and treating renal fibrosis, emphasizing their capacity to inhibit transforming growth factor β and reduce extracellular matrix formation, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that recombinant keratinocyte growth factor (rKGF) stimulated hair growth and provided a protective effect against alopecia in murine models, suggesting its role in hair follicle development and regeneration.

In this study, GERD symptoms were found to be significantly related to acid exposure time and the intensity of excessive daytime sleepiness, which depends on circulating ghrelin levels.

This study found that endogenous EGF may play a role in epidermal development and wound healing, while the absence of bFGF in embryonic rats' skin could contribute to non-scar healing.

This study found that administering gingerol improved survival and reduced organ damage in mouse models of chronic graft-versus-host disease by modulating T cell differentiation and inflammatory cytokines, suggesting a novel therapeutic approach for steroid-refractory cases.

Keratinocyte growth factor significantly alters skin and tissue development.

This review summarizes research on individual Chinese herbal extracts that may inhibit mechanisms of renal fibrosis, but it reports no new experimental findings.

This study identified a 505-bp indel variant in the FGF5 gene associated with cashmere growth in goats, which may serve as a molecular marker in cashmere goat breeding programs.

This study found that an SNP in the FGFR2 gene, rs4752566, was significantly associated with hair thickness in Asian populations, suggesting an effect on hair morphology through altered FGFR2 expression levels.

In this study, researchers successfully expressed recombinant human FGF5 protein in Arabidopsis, finding that this protein inhibits hair regeneration both in vitro and in vivo.

Isoginkgetin reduces inflammation in cells by blocking NF-κB activation.

This study highlights the potential of GPR30 and its selective agonists as promising therapeutic targets for treating hair loss disorders and conditions that respond to estrogen, emphasizing their role in modulating hair growth.

In this study, disrupting the epidermal growth factor receptor in mice led to abnormal hair and skin development, characterized by disorganized hair follicles and systemic disease, providing a model for understanding EGFR's role in skin biology.

FGF18 helps keep hair in its resting phase, affecting hair growth cycles.

In this study, researchers found that Fgf21 knockout mice exhibited delayed hair follicle cycling compared to wild-type mice, potentially due to altered miRNA interactions affecting Vezf1 and Map3k1 expression, providing insights into the molecular regulation of hair growth.

In this study, researchers used the CRISPR/Cas9 system to edit the FGF5 gene in Dorper sheep, observing increased density and finer wool, along with changes in cortisol levels and antioxidant enzyme activity linked to hair follicle development.

This study observed that omeprazole was highly effective in reducing symptoms and esophagitis in children with severe esophagitis unresponsive to other treatments, though its long-term safety regarding elevated gastrin levels remains uncertain.

This study found that growth factor concentrate provides quicker improvements for patterned hair loss, but platelet-rich plasma offers more sustained benefits after treatment.

This review highlights the potential of amphiregulin as a therapeutic target, noting its role in both fibrotic and malignant diseases, and discusses promising early findings but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that a newly produced version of KGF-1 with 135 residues maintained biological activity and could serve as an alternative to the standard 140-residue KGF-1.

This study found that combining plasma rich in growth factors with conventional treatment significantly improved hair regrowth and reduced symptoms in patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia compared to conventional treatment alone.

In this study, researchers found that reducing FGF20 expression in dermal papilla cells of fine-wool sheep impedes the growth and differentiation of hair follicle stem cells, providing insights into wool trait improvement and regenerative medicine applications.

In this report, two cases of non-small cell lung cancer treated with gefitinib showed unexpected hair growth, suggesting a potential new application of EGFR-TKIs for alopecia.

This study describes a novel hairless mutant rat strain, F344-Hr(krh), developed via ENU mutagenesis, which provides a model for skin disease and potentially focal glomerulosclerosis due to specific genetic mutations.

This review discusses the role of LGR4 in tumors, highlighting its involvement in cancer progression, metastasis, and chemotherapy resistance, as well as its regulatory effects on tumor stem cell self-renewal and stem cell characteristics, based on multiple recent studies.

This case report describes a woman who developed extensive nonscarring inflammatory hair loss after two years of gefitinib treatment, highlighting potential cutaneous side effects associated with epidermal growth factor receptor blockers.

This manuscript describes two case reports of preterm newborns with a rare homozygous mutation in the epidermal growth factor receptor, leading to severe health issues and early mortality despite supportive care.

This study found that FGF signaling is necessary for the initiation of feather placode development in chicken embryos, with FGF10 being implicated as an early dermal signal in the process.

This study observed that intrauterine and early postnatal exposure to finasteride affected prostatic development in Mongolian gerbils, with significant sex-based differences, particularly higher alterations in female prostates.

This study found that cetaceans have adapted their fibroblast growth factors to assist in low bone density, hypoxia tolerance, and the development of rigid flippers, reflecting significant evolutionary changes for aquatic life.
