In this study, Far2-/- mice were observed to develop focal alopecia with altered sebaceous gland morphology and lower skin lipid levels compared to wildtype mice.

This study found that corin, a protease, plays a crucial role in eccrine sweat glands by promoting sweat and salt excretion, which helps regulate electrolyte balance.

This study found that phosphorylated VEGFR-2 is present in human scalp epidermal appendages and suggests it plays a role in their daily regulation.

This study found that while 3D spheroid culture preserved sweat gland cell-specific markers better than 2D culture, their growth and structural organization were suboptimal, highlighting the need for improved culture systems.

This study describes a new method for isolating intact human eccrine glands from scalp follicular units, potentially advancing research on sweat gland physiology.

This study found that Hirosaki hairless rats experience transient activation of STAT5A in the mammary glands during early lactation, involving O-GlcNAc modification rather than Tyr-phosphorylation.

In this animal study, researchers observed that both aging and lower androgen levels in male albino rats led to significant structural changes in meibomian glands, including reduced acinar cell size, diminished meibum secretion, and increased collagen deposition.

This study found that prenatal antiandrogen treatment in female spotted hyenas significantly altered the LH response to GnRH, indicating partial masculinization of their anterior pituitary gland without affecting ovulatory function.

Overexpressing the epigen gene in mice leads to enlarged sebaceous glands and greasy fur.

This study found that hair follicles play a significant role in regulating skin barrier function, with disruptions in the upper hair follicle affecting the epidermis, influencing processes like desquamation and sebum release, and leading to cell movement into the epidermis.

This study identified a new transcriptional repressor, Zfp157, as a target of Stat6 in the mammary gland, expressing in various tissues during mouse embryogenesis and adulthood.

This paper presents a case study of a 21-year-old male with thyroid hemiagenesis, where the left thyroid lobe and isthmus are absent, and discusses the anomaly's potential clinical consequences based on existing literature.

This study observed that sebaceous gland atrophy in psoriatic lesions correlates with the down-regulation of specific lipid biosynthetic gene modules, potentially affecting hair appearance without damaging follicles.

Mesenchymal stiffness affects sweat gland cell development.

This study examined the expression of fatty acid transporters and binding proteins in mouse sebaceous glands and found that CD36 did not affect the localization of other related molecules.

This review discusses the mechanisms by which isotretinoin and hormonal therapy treat acne through their effects on sebaceous glands, reporting no new clinical results.

This study revealed that deleting EZH2 in mesenchyme-derived cells of the female reproductive tract led to impaired uterine gland development and pregnancy loss in mice, highlighting EZH2's crucial role in fertility.

Sericin hydrogels heal skin wounds well, regrowing hair and glands with less scarring.

In this study, researchers reported that a keratinocyte growth factor-Ig fusion protein could specifically detect and localize KGFRs in epithelial tissues, suggesting a method for histochemical detection of growth factor receptors.

This review highlights the potential of cell-free therapies, particularly cell extracts, in addressing radiation-induced salivary gland damage from head and neck cancer treatment, emphasizing their practicality and safety compared to traditional therapies despite incomplete understanding of their bioactive components.

This study proposes the sebogenic hypothesis, suggesting that hair follicles evolved from primitive sebaceous glands to facilitate lipid transport and improve water retention in early land-dwelling animals.

This review explores the role of hormones in pilosebaceous units and associated skin disorders, focusing on androgen action, without presenting new clinical findings.

This chapter reviews the skin's structure and its clinical relevance, highlighting connective tissue diseases and the potential for novel treatments like protein, cell, or stem cell transfer, but reports no new findings.

This study describes cases of diffuse alopecia and thyroid alterations in sheep, linking selenium and zinc deficiencies to decreased serum T3 and T4 concentrations and related skin conditions.

This study suggests that enhancing endocannabinoid tone with an EMT-inhibitor may have anti-inflammatory effects and slightly increase sebaceous lipid production, which could be beneficial for dry skin conditions.

This study found that disrupting Adam10 in the epidermis led to severe skin and multi-organ abnormalities, implicating Adam10 as crucial for proper Notch signaling and skin maintenance.

This study demonstrated that implanting μm-scale full-thickness columns of human skin tissue into immunodeficient mice restored key features of normal human skin, suggesting potential for human wound repair with minimal donor site morbidity.

This review discusses the impact of melatonin and its metabolites on skin aging, summarizing how they may serve as "aging neutralizers" through their anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory properties, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses hypopituitarism's bidirectional relationship with COVID-19 due to metabolic comorbidities and pituitary risks, but it reports no new clinical results.

This article discusses the structure and function of sebaceous glands and their role in skin moisture but reports no new research findings.
