This study found that vascular endothelial growth factor may protect hair follicle stem cells from androgen-induced apoptosis in androgenic alopecia patients via the PI3K/Akt pathway.

This study found that isolated red light may serve as an alternative for photo-immunotherapy without additional photosensitizers, as it did not reduce keratinocyte differentiation markers or increase photo-oxidative damage, unlike treatment with IL-4 or UVA1/blue light.

This meeting report discusses the first symposium on natural gene therapy for skin, preceding the 41st annual meeting of the European Society for Dermatological Research, and reports no new experimental findings.

In this study, researchers identified 32 differentially expressed genes involved in androgenetic alopecia, with down-regulated genes associated with Wnt and TGF-beta signaling and up-regulated genes linked to oxidative stress pathways.

This review discusses advancements in understanding hair cycle and inflammatory alopecias, proposing a standard classification and tiered treatment recommendations, but reports no clinical results.

This study found that restoring hypothalamic NPY levels in mice delayed aging-related characteristics such as fat loss, hair loss, and memory decline, suggesting that maintaining these levels could be important for counteracting aging and its effects.

In this study, the researchers developed a new protocol using human-induced pluripotent stem cells to efficiently create skin hair follicle organoids, which may aid in optimizing hair follicle growth and exploring treatments for alopecia.

This case report observed a dramatic improvement in a 15-year-old girl's pachyonychia congenita symptoms during chemotherapy for Ewing sarcoma, suggesting chemotherapy's potential role in managing hyperkeratotic conditions.

This study concluded that human epidermal stem cells cultured in MEM-α and EpiLife media with growth factors show high proliferation potential and plasticity, suggesting potential use in skin regenerative medicine.

This study found that down and guard hairs of Inner Mongolia Cashmere Goats have distinct protein compositions and physical properties, with keratin-related proteins potentially influencing these differences.

In this study, engineered mice with a mutation similar to that in Olmsted syndrome showed progressive hair loss due to impaired inner root sheath keratinocyte differentiation and stem cell exhaustion.

This study reported that gain-of-function mutations in TRPV3 lead to hair loss in mice by disrupting inner root sheath keratinocyte differentiation, ultimately causing follicular keratinocyte stem cell exhaustion and permanent follicle disruption.

This study found that rete ridge morphogenesis in mammalian skin is directed by a BMP-dependent developmental program, which is evolutionarily distinct from other known pathways controlling the development of hair follicles, sweat glands, and fingerprint ridges.

This study observed that the small molecules KY19382 and KY19334 inhibited cancerous traits in human cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma cells by suppressing the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, indicating their potential as treatments for cancers involving CDK1 overexpression and diseases related to CXXC5 accumulation.

In this study, researchers observed that different ERK signal activation dynamics during hair follicle regeneration are linked to cell fate specification and are affected by distinct upstream signaling pathways.

This study reports that myoepithelial cells in submucosal glands can act as reserve stem cells, regenerating surface airway epithelium after severe injury through a mechanism involving Sox9 and Wnt signaling.

This study reports that 71% of patients treated with the gamma-secretase inhibitor PF-03084014 for desmoid tumors experienced dermatologic side effects, such as follicular lesions and pruritic eruptions, which were managed with topical or systemic treatments.

This study found that the PON1 192 R allele was associated with an increased risk of psoriasis and altered lipid profiles in patients from Western Mexico.

This study suggests that PKCß plays a critical role in modulating the dermal inflammatory microenvironment in response to dietary lipids in mice.

This study demonstrates that genome-edited epidermal stem cells can continuously monitor blood glucose levels in vivo and potentially aid in diabetes treatment through skin somatic gene therapy.

This study suggests that mutation-targeted siRNA therapy could potentially treat keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness syndrome by selectively reducing harmful GJB2 mutant gene expression in patient-derived keratinocytes.

In this study, researchers found that alopecia areata is linked to immune cell activation against hair follicle autoantigens and is associated with heart changes and cardiac marker alterations in humans and mice.

This study found that activating Wnt/beta-catenin signaling in hair follicles is sufficient to induce adipocyte generation in the dermis, affecting both hair follicle stem cell activation and adipocyte differentiation.

This review examines clinical trials on low-level laser therapy for pattern hair loss but reports no definitive conclusions, highlighting the need for more controlled studies to resolve uncertainties.

This study developed a transgenic mouse model to explore androgenetic alopecia, finding that inducible COX2 expression led to sebaceous gland changes and hair miniaturization, with reversible effects upon reducing COX2.

This study identified altered neurological pathways and potential drug targets involved in androgenetic alopecia, suggesting areas for future research and possible therapies.

This study suggests that follicular stem cells in the bulge region are not directly targeted in androgenetic alopecia, based on the consistent presence of cytokeratin 15 across scalp samples from affected patients.

This study identified a novel mutation, R430Q in the KRT86 gene, in a Han family with monilethrix, which may contribute to the disease's pathogenic mechanism.
