In this study, women with polycystic ovary syndrome had significantly higher lipocalin-2 levels compared to controls, suggesting it may be a useful marker for insulin resistance in this population.

This study reports that eccrine sweat glands in mice predominantly develop on the footpads, offering a reference for skin research involving genetically engineered mice.

This study found that Wnt3a increased beta-catenin signaling and upregulated specific genes in cultured human dermal papilla cells, enhancing their response to PGE2 and potentially aiding hair growth.

This study found that Wnt/β‐catenin signaling influences the hair follicle regeneration process by prompting quiescent stem cells to enter the cell cycle and is necessary for maintaining the stem cell pool.

This article reviews the structure and regulation of the ITGB6 gene and discusses its role in integrin αvβ6 expression, with no new experimental results reported.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome had significantly higher serum and intrafollicular levels of anti-Müllerian hormone compared to normovulatory women, indicating a potential marker for ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome risk.

This study found that the VEGF +405G/C polymorphism may be an inheritable risk factor for polycystic ovary syndrome in south Indian women.

This study observed that selectively activating activin in the epidermis of mice enhanced reepithelialization during wound healing without altering the quality of the healed wound.

In this study, a 54-year-old woman with short bowel syndrome developed biotin deficiency and associated symptoms while on home parenteral nutrition lacking biotin, which improved significantly after supplementation.

Sfrp2 increases during hair follicle catagen phase and slows keratinocyte growth.

This study found that specific SHBG gene variants and haplotypes are associated with polycystic ovary syndrome, suggesting that SHBG may be a candidate gene for the condition.

Diabetes often causes various skin problems and complications.

This study found that keratin coatings from human hair may improve the colony-forming efficiency of human mesenchymal stem cells by moderating donor variability, suggesting a potential use in clinical applications.

This study observed that men receiving dutasteride for benign prostatic hyperplasia did not show significant differences in neuropsychological assessments compared to a control group not on dutasteride.

This review discusses the effects of minoxidil on human skin fibroblasts, reporting its potential to inhibit lysyl hydroxylase activity and DNA synthesis, suggesting it may have antifibrotic applications for collagen-related skin conditions.

In this study, researchers found that hair follicle-derived mesenchymal stem cells, modified to overexpress extracellular matrix protein 1, significantly improved liver function and reduced liver damage in cirrhotic mice by inhibiting hepatic stellate cell activation and TGF-β/Smad signaling.

This study found that bovine lactoferrin promotes hair growth in mice by enhancing dermal papilla cell proliferation through the Erk/Akt and Wnt signaling pathways.

This study found that finasteride significantly improved motor, EEG, and cellular changes in a rat model of thioacetamide-induced hepatic encephalopathy and prevented the development of hepatic coma.

This study found that transfecting hair follicle stem cells with a PEI-DNA complex expressing hTERT stimulated hair growth in rats by inducing follicle neogenesis and promoting the anagen phase.

This article discusses the surgical technique of "deroofing" for hidradenitis suppurativa, highlighting its advantages over traditional methods but reports no new clinical results; the authors emphasize the importance of dietary management as part of treatment.

This study found that erythropoietin promotes hair growth by stimulating dermal papilla cells with functional erythropoietin receptors, enhancing hair shaft elongation and anagen phase in cultured human hair follicles and in mice.

This study identified a new gene, mrp4, in mice, which suggests it may have a unique role in the growth and development of hair follicles in the ears and tails.

This review discusses the varied roles of Wnt7a in development, tissue homeostasis, and cancer, reporting no clinical results; the authors emphasize the need for further investigation on its roles in inflammation and fibrosis.

This review examines the role of P-cadherin in skin and hair biology, emphasizing its importance in human hair growth, cycling, and pigmentation, and reports no new research findings.

This study found that Wnt ligands from CD133-positive dermal papilla cells are essential for maintaining hair growth by supporting cell signaling between different hair follicle structures.

This study's molecular dynamics simulations suggest that electrostatic interactions mainly stabilize peptide binding to human hair keratin, with the protein's dielectric constant significantly affecting free energy calculations.

This article reviews the identification and characterization of soluble proteins in horny tissues such as calluses and psoriatic scales, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, subcutaneous recombinant human IL-12 showed a 43% partial response rate in early-stage mycosis fungoides patients refractory to previous treatments, with generally mild to moderate adverse events reported.

This study found that a genetic deletion causing truncated desmoglein 3 protein in mice led to severe pathologies, including cyclic hair loss and immunodeficiency, suggesting possible implications for human desmosome-related diseases.

This study found that chronic administration of testosterone in mice induced an elevated EPO secretion response, possibly mediated through DHT, without affecting baseline EPO levels.
