This study found that dietary serine levels influence hair follicle stem cells' ability to balance hair regeneration and wound repair, offering insights for potential interventions to accelerate wound healing.

In this study, researchers reported that hair follicle stem cells maintain quiescence through a PIEZO1-dependent mechanism that senses mechanical forces and translates them into localized calcium influx, involving a transcriptional network that regulates cell adhesion and cytoskeleton-related genes.

In this study using a mouse model, researchers utilized single-cell RNA sequencing to create a comprehensive cellular atlas of infected versus uninfected wounds, revealing that Enterococcus faecalis infections lead to immunosuppressive changes in skin cells and disrupt normal wound healing processes.

This study identified core genes and pathways involved in androgenetic alopecia, finding that genes related to hair follicle development are down-regulated, while those linked to immune responses are up-regulated, highlighting potential therapeutic targets.

This study found that a complex extract of Polygonatum sibiricum and Nelumbinis semen improved menopause symptoms in an ovariectomized rat model by enhancing blood lipid metabolism and reducing osteoporosis, without increasing risks of side effects like endometriosis, unlike conventional hormone-replacement therapy.

This review investigates how the chirality of peptides affects their ability to form hydrogels, comparing the structural and mechanical properties of hydrogels made from homochiral and heterochiral peptides, and discussing their potential biological applications.

This study found that keratin 15 lacks the ability to sequester YAP1 in keratinocytes effectively, unlike keratin 14, and suggests that a higher K15:K14 ratio may promote a progenitor state and inhibit differentiation in epidermal keratinocytes.

This study found that regulatory T cells accumulate in hair follicle epithelium via the Cxcr4-Cxcl12 axis, partially influenced by glucocorticoid receptor signaling, promoting hair regeneration; similar mechanisms were observed in human and murine skin.

This study used human stem cell-derived skin organoids to model EV-A71 infection, revealing that various skin cell types are susceptible to the virus and identifying a potential drug target and replication inhibitor, suggesting its utility for studying skin infectious diseases and drug screening.

This study demonstrated that a mechanical-chemical cascade involving dermal cell contraction and the activation of Piezo1 in epidermal cells is crucial for initiating interactions necessary for hair follicle regeneration in skin organoids.

In this study, researchers found that miR-143-3p may play a novel role in cashmere growth by directly repressing the expression of Itga6 in secondary hair follicles of goats.

This study found that in stretch-mediated tissue expansion, fibroblasts adopt an embryonic-like, low-collagen state that enhances epidermal stem cell renewal, supporting coordinated skin expansion crucial for reconstructive surgeries.

In this laboratory study, researchers observed that mouse vascular endothelial cells exhibit dynamic changes after exposure to ionizing radiation, including a transient endothelial subpopulation that facilitates vascular-epidermal communication and skin repair, with shifting roles in angiogenesis and immune surveillance over time.

This review discusses metal-organic frameworks for treating diabetic infected wounds and related applications, reporting no new clinical results but highlighting challenges like biosafety and production for future research.

This study identified two key epigenetic-related genes, HR and SMYD4, which may act as potential biomarkers in keloid disease, suggesting new therapeutic avenues for further research.

This review discusses the role of heparan sulfate proteoglycans in regulating stem cell fate and highlights their potential as targets for addressing hair loss, without reporting new clinical results.

In this study, researchers found that YAP and TAZ, when localized in the nucleus of basal layer cells, are crucial for skin regeneration and hair growth, with their loss leading to slower cell proliferation, hair loss, and impaired wound healing in mice.

This review examines integrins as pharmacological targets, discussing current integrin-based therapies and emphasizing the need to understand integrin mechanisms for successful drug development, without reporting new clinical results.

This study found that α3β1-integrin is crucial for maintaining normal hair follicle morphology in mice, as its deficiency leads to severe abnormalities despite not affecting interfollicular epidermal differentiation.

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.

Mutations in β1 integrins cause embryonic death but have milder effects on skin.

This study found that keratinocyte stem/progenitor cell-conditioned medium significantly enhanced hair growth in mice and increased the proliferation of human hair follicle cells.

In this study, researchers found that miR-3606-3p is significantly downregulated in skin fibrosis and correlates with disease severity, with its ability to inhibit key signaling pathways suggesting potential therapeutic applications for conditions like systemic sclerosis and keloids.

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.

The study suggests that integrin β1 is crucial for maintaining liver microstructure and its absence may promote fibrosis by disrupting hepatocyte-extracellular matrix interactions and increasing TGF-β secretion.

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.

This study found that absence of α3 integrin in mice led to faster wound healing but also caused inflammation, hair loss, and skin defects, suggesting complex roles in skin integrity and repair.

This study found that mice lacking CD61 had significantly shorter lower incisors compared to wild-type mice, suggesting CD61 is crucial for proper tooth growth and pre-ameloblast proliferation.

This study reported that the use of composite RGDmix hydrogel improved the survival and proliferation of human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells and increased growth factor expression, enhancing wound healing through the RGDSP/integrin αv/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.
