This study found that ILK deficiency disrupts hair follicle development by impairing cell polarity and laminin-511 assembly, but these defects can be partially reversed with exogenous laminin-511.

This study found that ILK/ELMO2 complexes in epidermal keratinocytes are selectively activated by epidermal growth factor to induce cell migration, unlike with other growth factors.

In this study, PINCH-1 gene loss in mouse epidermis led to detachment from the basement membrane, thickened skin, and hair loss, with findings suggesting PINCH-1 plays a role in keratinocyte adhesion through both ILK and EPLIN pathways.

In this study, gene inactivation in mouse hair follicle stem cells lacking ILK impaired wound healing by reducing their progeny’s contribution to the regenerating epidermis, but did not affect hair follicle regeneration.

In this study, targeted inactivation of the integrin-linked kinase gene in melanoblasts led to defects in cell migration, proliferation, and ability to populate the skin, implicating an integrin-linked kinase-Rac1 connection in melanocyte function.

This study observed that 5% minoxidil topical foam alters gene expression and signaling pathways in the scalp, providing insights into its mechanism of action in men with androgenetic alopecia.

This study found that intralesional triamcinolone acetonide injections effectively increased hair density in African American women with traction alopecia, showing promise as a safe treatment option.

This study found that integrin-linked kinase is crucial for various epidermal functions, including differentiation and barrier formation, and also plays a previously unreported role in melanocyte development and function.

In human hair follicle keratinocytes, this study found that treatment with the pharmacological inhibitor QLT0267 led to a strong inhibition of proliferation and migration and induced nearly 100% apoptosis.

The researchers described a chip-based bioreactor platform for dynamic perfusion, which may enhance in vitro skin models by introducing mechanical shear stress and extending culture periods.

In this study, patients with alopecia areata were found to have significantly lower serum vitamin D levels compared to those with vitiligo and healthy individuals, with lower levels correlating with increased disease severity.

This observational study found that patients with various skin diseases across 17 European countries experience higher levels of perceived stigmatization than skin-healthy controls, particularly those with psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, alopecia, and bullous disorders, with factors such as disease severity and psychological distress influencing stigmatization levels.

Pax9 is crucial for proper tongue surface development and preventing skin-like changes.

This study found that patients with alopecia areata reported worse quality of life and higher anxiety and depression levels compared to those with androgenetic alopecia and healthy controls.

This study found that trichodynia is common among patients with telogen effluvium and androgenetic alopecia, and it often coexists with psychological issues like depression and anxiety.

This study successfully recreated human hair follicles in vitro, which offers a potential advancement in hair regeneration and understanding the effects of drugs on hair follicles.

This study found that topical calcipotriol may safely and effectively treat mild-to-moderate patchy alopecia areata, with significant hair regrowth observed in the majority of participants over 12 weeks.

In this study, researchers found that the prevalence of androgenetic alopecia was higher in their sample compared to other studies in Asian and Caucasian populations, and it was linked with age-related severity.

Combination therapy improves urinary flow and reduces residual urine, but needs better stent design.

This study found that exposure to finasteride impaired spermatogenesis in male Xenopus laevis by affecting sex-specific feedback mechanisms in the hypothalamus–pituitary–gonad axis.

This review discusses steroid cell tumors of the ovary, their hormone production, symptoms, and evaluation, emphasizing surgery as the key treatment approach; it reports no new clinical results.

CD10 helps distinguish between basal cell carcinoma and benign hair follicle tumors.

This study found that dermatological treatments significantly reduce health-related quality of life among patients with various skin conditions, suggesting that the burden of these therapies should be considered in treatment planning and development.

This study found that eczema was the most common skin condition among children attending a pediatric dermatology clinic in Turkey.

This study demonstrated that dermal papilla cells are molecularly distinct from fibroblasts and identified many novel molecules, including a new member of the CTGF protein family.

This case report describes a 37-year-old woman who developed scalp psoriasis and severe alopecia after taking adalimumab, with complete hair regrowth following treatment change.

This study found that while isotretinoin lowered levels of female hormones in patients with severe acne, it did not significantly impact ovarian reserve function.

This study found that topical clobetasol propionate cream provided a modest improvement in hair regrowth for alopecia areata patients, though those with atopy had higher relapse rates after treatment completion.

In this study, sensorineural hearing loss was significantly more frequent in patients with alopecia areata compared to healthy controls, suggesting a relationship between the autoimmune condition and hearing function.
