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.

Loss of COL17A1 causes hair follicle stem cells to age and leads to hair loss.

This study found that mitochondrial dysfunction in T cells led to defective hair follicle stem cell function and premature skin aging signs in a mouse model.

This study found that a simple surgical technique for eyebrow restoration using hair follicle transplantation yielded satisfactory results in all 18 cases.

This article reviews the role of vasoactive intestinal peptide in maintaining immune privilege in hair follicles and does not report new findings; the authors propose it as essential for immune homeostasis in alopecia areata.

This study found that serum-free expanded hair follicle mesenchymal stem cells (hfMSCs), derived from hair plucking, significantly improved cartilage repair in a murine model despite minimal engraftment, suggesting their effectiveness through a paracrine mechanism.

In this study, researchers used NIR-II fluorescence imaging to track the survival and migration of EPI-NCSCs in rat models, finding that these stem cells aided in repairing facial nerve defects when applied via acellular nerve allografts.

The researchers reported that using exosomes from hair follicle stem cells with acellular nerve allografts helped bridge facial nerve defects in rats and may match the effectiveness of autograft therapy.

This study utilized 3D ultra-high frequency ultrasound to effectively detect different disease phases of alopecia areata by visualizing hair follicle structures and identifying unique pathological signs, offering a promising non-invasive diagnostic tool that surpasses conventional methods.

3D ultrasound can detect hair follicle changes and disease phases in alopecia areata.

This study found that Insig deficiency in the skin of mice causes cholesterol precursors to accumulate, leading to defective hair development and skin abnormalities, which were alleviated by simvastatin treatment.

This study found that in mice lacking EGFR, elevated Wnt signaling disrupts hair follicle development by affecting cell proliferation and differentiation, revealing a critical role for EGFR in regulating these processes.

This article reviews current knowledge and research gaps on growth hormone in hair follicle biology, highlighting its complex role and suggesting further exploration to reveal nonclassical skin functions.

This study highlights a case where progressive baldness initially diagnosed as alopecia universalis was attributed to a basal cell hamartoma of each hair follicle, stressing the importance of skin biopsies for unusual alopecia cases.

This study reported that deleting the MED1 subunit from the MED complex in keratinocytes resulted in disrupted hair differentiation and cycling, leading to hair loss in mice.

This study describes a rare form of congenital alopecia in domestic short hair cats, characterized by hair shaft defects and follicular dystrophy similar to those seen in certain mutant mouse strains.

In this study, researchers explored how hair follicle neural crest stem cell-derived exosomes, particularly those carrying miR-214-3p, promote neurite outgrowth and aid peripheral nerve regeneration, supported by detailed in vitro and in vivo data on nerve repair and functional recovery in rat models.

This dataset supports a study suggesting that hair follicle neural crest stem cell-derived exosomes carrying miR-214-3p may promote neurite outgrowth and aid peripheral nerve regeneration in vitro and in vivo.

This study demonstrated that intraoperative bioprinting using a bioink with human adipose-derived extracellular matrix and stem cells achieved successful reconstruction of full-thickness craniomaxillofacial skin defects in rats, promoting wound closure, adipogenesis, and hair follicle-like structure formation within two weeks.

This study reported discovering a novel missense variant in a case of autosomal recessive woolly hair in a 31-year-old Chinese woman, which significantly reduced secretion of the encoded protein, likely leading to disease by impairing its hydrolytic function.

This study indicates that porcine acellular dermal matrix may aid hair follicle regeneration in mice by enhancing the expression of SDF-1 and the Wnt3a/β-catenin signaling pathway.

This study identified a new keratin, K6irs, as a potential histological marker for the inner root sheath of hair follicles in mice and humans, and as a candidate gene for hereditary hair defects.

This study identified a gene mutation in the LIPH gene associated with inherited hair loss and hair growth defects in certain populations, suggesting lipase H plays a role in hair development.

In this mouse study, researchers found that the absence of laminin-511 in skin delays hair follicle development and disrupts hair shaft differentiation, affecting key transcription factors for hair keratins.

This study identified a nonsense mutation in the Sgkl gene as the cause of defective hair growth in a mutant mouse strain, implicating the SGKL signaling pathway in hair development.

This study found that while most mice lacking MK6a and MK6b genes died from tongue epithelium disintegration, about 25% survived and showed no hair or nail defects due to a newly discovered MK6hf gene.

This mini-review discusses human hair follicle development and summarizes genetic disorders linked to abnormalities in hair follicle morphogenesis, structure, or regeneration, but reports no new experimental results.

This study found that higher levels of adiponectin were associated with reduced inflammation and osteolysis, suggesting potential therapeutic benefits for patients with aseptic loosening of joint replacements.

This case report of a four-year-old girl with Nicolaides-Baraitser syndrome highlights severe atopic dermatitis and worsening alopecia, suggesting that SMARCA2 dysfunction may impact skin barrier integrity and hair health, necessitating aggressive dermatologic treatment.

This review discusses various syndromes and conditions associated with abnormal hair growth, including potential therapies, but reports no new clinical findings or results.
