This article discusses the role of human hair follicles in neuroendocrinology and suggests potential new therapeutic targets by examining how neuromediators influence hair growth, pigmentation, and stem cell biology in organ cultures.

This review discusses the possible impacts of prolactin on skin conditions like psoriasis, alopecia, and stress-related dermatoses, emphasizing the need for further research to explore its therapeutic potential.

This study found that midazolam, unlike clonazepam, increased neurosteroid levels and affected synaptic inhibition and plasticity in rat hippocampal neurons, suggesting unique actions via dual receptor activation.

This study found that mice with a mutant CDP/Cux protein lacking the homeodomain showed severely impaired growth, high postnatal mortality, and reduced fertility, highlighting CDP/Cux's role in developmental regulation.

In this study, researchers found that p75 neurotrophin receptor signaling affects apoptosis during hair follicle regression in mice, and altering its activity might help manage disorders involving early catagen entry.

This study concluded that epidermal growth factor may induce a 'catagen-like' phase in human hair follicles by disrupting normal cellular proliferation and migration patterns.

This article describes protocols for isolating and expanding human epidermal neural crest stem cells and discusses their potential for cell-based therapies in regenerative medicine, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that in captive mouflon rams, reproductive and physical maturation, marked by changes in hormone levels and physical attributes, progresses gradually across their life span, with sexual maturity tied closely to physical maturity.

This study found that red ginseng oil may enhance hair growth and protect skin from UV damage in mouse models by promoting regenerative processes and reducing inflammation.

In this study, dermal papilla cell-derived exosomes accelerated hair follicle growth in mice, suggesting potential for treating hair loss by modulating key signaling pathways.

This study suggests that Notch1 acts as a key signal in skin epithelium, promoting immune cell recruitment and aiding in normal skin repair after damage.

This study found that during late pregnancy in rats, there is an increase in extrasynaptic GABA A receptor number in granule cells of the dentate gyrus, linked to hormonal fluctuations.

This review examines the neuroendocrine mechanisms underlying seasonal changes in mammals and highlights areas needing further research, reporting no new experimental results.

This study describes the enzymatic processes through which DHEA is converted to active sex steroids in human skin, highlighting an androgenic effect on sebaceous glands and estrogenic effects in the vagina.

This study found that silencing clock genes BMAL1 or PER1 in human hair follicles increased melanin content and melanocyte activity, suggesting these genes influence pigmentation.

This article discusses recent advances in understanding the mechanisms of tactile end organs in the epidermis and hair follicles from studies of mouse hairy skin, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that using a low-level laser comb led to hair regrowth in a mouse model of alopecia areata, while sham-treated mice showed no hair regrowth.

This study found that follistatin and activin interactions are important for hair follicle development and cycling in mice, suggesting that they may regulate processes involving BMP-2 and its antagonist.

Long-standing benign tumors can become cancerous, especially in people with weakened immune systems.

This study found that human skin expresses proenkephalin, whose expression is upregulated by environmental stress and varies in pathological conditions, increasing in psoriasis and decreasing in melanocytic tumors.

This study identified changes in transcription factor gene expression across various signaling pathways during inner ear hair cell regeneration in birds, revealing patterns and potential new pathways for future investigation.

This review examines how mesenchymal stem cells and their derivatives may enhance skin regeneration and rejuvenation, but it reports no new clinical results; the authors suggest iPSC-derived MSCs hold promise for future therapies.

In this study, key histologic features such as mucinous perifollicular fibroplasia were identified to aid in the diagnosis of lichen planopilaris.

This study found that premature hair loss due to stress does not occur in NK-1 receptor knockout or mast cell deficient mice, suggesting a key role for neurokinin substance P and mast cell interaction in stress-related hair follicle changes.

This review discusses the potential of targeting the endocannabinoid system for treating skin disorders and reports no new clinical results, highlighting the need for further research.

This review discusses the adverse effects of 5α-reductase inhibitors, finasteride and dutasteride, on sexual, psychological, and vascular health, emphasizing the need for physicians to inform patients of these risks.

This study found that anti-TNF therapy-induced alopecia exhibits distinct clinical and histopathological features and can mimic psoriatic alopecia and alopecia areata, with some patients improving with topical treatment.

This review discusses the potential role of steroid 5α-reductase inhibitors in treating neuropsychiatric disorders related to dopaminergic hyperreactivity but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) acts as a potent stimulator of hair growth in human scalp hair follicles, promoting elongation and prolonging the anagen phase.

This study presents a novel in vitro assay using human folliculoid microspheres to research hair growth, which may facilitate preclinical testing of hair growth-modulatory agents.
