This review discusses the molecular role of the vitamin D receptor in regulating various biological actions such as bone mineralization and reports no new clinical results, highlighting the complexity of vitamin D's function in multiple tissues.

This study found that many effects previously thought to be caused by circadian rhythm disruption in Bmal1 knockout mice are actually due to BMAL1's properties unrelated to its clock function.

This article discusses the potential role of melatonin in protecting skin against stress and maintaining homeostasis, based on its local synthesis and various protective functions, but presents no new clinical results.

This review explores the role of Foxn1 in mammalian skin biology, discussing its influence on hair follicle function and the potential for further research to enhance understanding of epithelial differentiation.

This review discusses circadian clock regulation in stem cells and its role in processes like neurogenesis, but reports no new results; the authors emphasize its significance in stem cell function across various tissues.

This paper highlights the need for a comprehensive red ginseng monograph to provide standardized information on its components, certified functionality, efficacy, action mechanisms, and safety, especially given its widespread use as a health functional food in South Korea and interest in its benefits worldwide.

This review examines the role of retinoic acid synthesis in hair follicles and sebaceous glands, focusing on its localization and function during normal and disease states, but reports no new results.

This study found that mouse FLRG protein, a secreted glycoprotein, is expressed in certain tissues and plays a role distinct from follistatin during wound healing, suggesting different functions in vivo.

In this study, spiny mice showed superior cardiac recovery after myocardial infarction compared to other mouse strains, with enhanced myocardial preservation and functional stabilization.

This review discusses the physicochemical properties, binding mechanisms, and factors affecting corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG) functions, but reports no new clinical results.

This review found no evidence that DHEA improves quality of life or decreases menopausal symptoms in peri- and postmenopausal women, but it may slightly enhance sexual function compared to placebo.

In this study, researchers found that hair follicle-derived mesenchymal stem cells, modified to overexpress extracellular matrix protein 1, significantly improved liver function and reduced liver damage in cirrhotic mice by inhibiting hepatic stellate cell activation and TGF-β/Smad signaling.

This study found that minoxidil stimulates the Kir6.2/SUR2 potassium channel, leading to tumor growth arrest in an ovarian cancer xenograft model by disrupting mitochondrial function and inducing cell death.

In this study, Wnt4 was identified as a key factor in cardiac repair, where its regulation in cardiac fibroblasts improved cardiac function and revascularization following ischemic reperfusion injury.

This study found that mutations in the TULP3 gene are associated with progressive degeneration of the liver, kidney, and heart in adults, highlighting the importance of early detection and management.

This article reviews the classification and characteristics of water soluble vitamins, focusing on their varying solubility and functions, and reports no new experimental findings.

This study found that injecting xeno-free, three-dimensional cell masses from human adipose-derived stem cells improved blood perfusion and preserved limb function in mice without causing tumors or toxicity, suggesting potential for treating severe ischemic diseases.

This overview examines the biology, origin, structure, and function of various cells and structures, such as the blood-retinal barrier and Merkel cells, and discusses their roles in disease pathogenesis, along with recent findings related to the lymph nodes' paracortex.

The researchers highlighted the nutritional benefits of kiwifruit, noting its high vitamin C content, dietary fiber, and potassium, as well as its wealth of phytochemicals and antioxidants, which may aid immune function, digestion, and potentially reduce chronic disease risk.

This source redefines anti-aging medicine as "precision healthspan pharmacology," suggesting that rather than just treating diseases or accepting aging, pharmacology should focus on expanding functional capacity across various health domains, while emphasizing the importance of fundamental physiological and psychosocial health factors.

This study found that among male and female patients at a dermatology clinic, higher severity of androgenetic alopecia was statistically associated with lower sexual function scores, although the findings should be interpreted cautiously due to sample size and methodological limitations.

This review highlights that surface mechanical regulation can program macrophage behavior through specific mechanical cues on material surfaces, potentially advancing immunotherapies and regenerative medicine by enabling precise control over macrophage functions.

This study found that hidradenitis suppurativa is associated with an elevated risk of developing urolithiasis, suggesting shared inflammatory pathways and the need for vigilant kidney monitoring in affected individuals.

In this study using mouse models, researchers found that elevated IL-17a in aged olfactory epithelium impairs olfactory function, while IL-17a inhibition promotes regeneration and mitigates age-related decline.

In this study of women with female pattern hair loss, iron deficiency was associated with the condition due to significantly lower serum ferritin and altered hematological indices compared to healthy controls, while no significant differences in serotonin levels or renal function were observed.

This review highlights a gap between patient-reported and physician-perceived rates of alopecia in transplant recipients, suggesting the issue may be underestimated and stressing the need for better recognition and management of hair disorders caused by immunosuppressive therapy post-kidney transplantation.

In this study on adult-onset, whole body Spry1/2/4 triple knockout mice, researchers observed endocrine abnormalities and no increased tumor incidence, despite similar food intake and motor function.

This study found that hypoxia-preconditioned HF-MSC-derived exosomes improved therapeutic outcomes in models of ulcerative colitis, potentially through miR-214-3p-mediated pathways affecting mitochondrial function and inflammatory responses.

This source reviews mechanisms and existing treatments for hair aging, highlighting factors like oxidative stress and DNA repair defects that affect hair follicle and stem cell function, and discusses research limitations and future directions in the field.

This case report describes common thyroid disorders in a β-thalassemia patient with frequent blood transfusions, emphasizing the need for monitoring thyroid function in such patients.
