This review explores the potential link between psoriasis and metabolic syndrome, focusing on how disturbances in growth factors may connect these conditions and contribute to symptoms like keratinocyte proliferation and inflammation.

In this study, topical naringin was found to significantly improve dermatitis severity and reduce inflammatory markers in a mouse model of atopic dermatitis, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic agent for this condition.

This review explores the potential of cell-mediated drug delivery systems in dermatology, highlighting their ability to target inflamed or diseased skin while discussing applications in diseases like atopic dermatitis and melanoma, along with challenges such as immunogenicity and manufacturing.

This review reported that while glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine tripeptide copper complex (GHK–Cu) has limited skin permeation when used alone, liposomes may enhance its absorption, but there is limited research on this aspect, highlighting a need for further studies.

This study observed that numerical chromosomal aberrations were more common in men with severe male factor infertility and azoospermia compared to those with other sperm quality issues, while chromosomal translocations were significantly associated with oligoasthenozoospermia, highlighting important genetic counseling considerations.

This review examined mechanisms regulating muscle repair, highlighting disruptions in aging and chronic diseases like Duchenne muscular dystrophy and diabetes. It noted that chronic inflammation and metabolic dysfunction hinder effective regeneration and discussed emerging therapies, suggesting multi-target approaches could be promising despite limited clinical evidence.

In this study, a computational analysis of promoter regions in human fertility-related genes identified several new candidate regulatory motifs, but these require further experimental validation due to the limitations of being an in silico examination.

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.

In this narrative review, the authors discuss the potential impact of hormone therapy on androgenetic alopecia among transgender individuals, especially transgender men using testosterone, and its adverse effects on emotional well-being and body image within a socially stigmatized population.

In this study, researchers presented cases of cellular neurothekeoma in three male family members with early-onset in infancy, suggesting a potential genetic component and inheritance pattern, which deviates from the typical presentation seen mostly in women between 20–30 years.

This study highlights promising methods for converting food waste into valuable resources such as biogas, bioethanol, biodiesel, fertilizers, and antioxidants through processes like fermentation and anaerobic digestion, emphasizing the need for robust large-scale technologies to optimize this "waste to value" transformation.

This study found that in live mouse epidermal stem cells, chromatin compaction is heterogenous and reflects differentiation status, with transcriptional changes largely preceding chromatin rearrangements during differentiation.

This study found that in mice, the epidermal microenvironment reverses the oncogenic effects of GNAQQ209L in melanocytes, inhibiting their survival and proliferation through paracrine signals.

This article discusses the biologic and psychosocial significance of hair, the current limitations in hair growth drugs, and anticipates future therapies based on advancing hair follicle research.

This study found that LEF1/TCF3 is necessary but not sufficient for TOPGAL activation in hair follicle development, indicating complex regulation in the skin.

This study demonstrated that multipotent stem cells in adult mice whisker follicles migrate to produce whisker growth, and that this process requires precise control of stem cell trafficking.

This review summarizes recent advances in understanding the molecular mechanisms of hair follicle formation and discusses potential future clinical applications for treating hair loss and skin tumors, but it reports no new clinical results.

Lgr5 is a marker for active, long-lasting stem cells in mouse hair follicles.

Hair follicles can regrow in wounded adult mouse skin using a process like embryo development.

This review summarizes fundamental concepts and recent advancements in hair follicle biology, including insights from mouse models into broader molecular and cellular processes relevant to regeneration and development.

This article describes the potential role of various growth factors and molecules in regulating mammalian hair follicle development but does not present new experimental results.

This study found that mice with a disrupted TGFα gene display a curly whisker-coat phenotype, similar to waved-1 mice, suggesting TGFα's crucial role in skin architecture and hair development.

This study described a new assay for measuring cortisol in hair and found it may serve as a useful biomarker for long-term cortisol exposure, correlating with 24-hour urine cortisol levels in non-obese subjects.

CD34 is a marker for isolating stem-like cells in mouse hair follicles.

This study found that bulge cells marked by CD200+ in human hair follicles show high colony-forming efficiency, suggesting successful enrichment of keratinocyte stem cells.

Hair growth is cyclic and influenced mainly by local factors.

This study found that VEGF significantly enhances perifollicular vascularization during the hair growth phase, accelerating hair regrowth and increasing follicle and hair size, while its inhibition retards hair growth.

This study suggests that cortisol measured in human hair can effectively reflect increased production for up to six months, but its retrospective accuracy may be limited due to rapid decline in levels.

This study found that intradermal adipocyte lineage cells in mice are necessary and sufficient to activate follicular stem cells, highlighting their role in regulating skin stem cell activity.
