The document concludes that stem cells and their environments are crucial for skin and hair health and have potential for medical treatments.

This study found that a simplified classification based on clinical and morphological features may aid in the diagnosis and initial management of inherited keratinizing disorders, although genetic analysis is essential for definitive diagnosis.

This study utilized a pigmented human epidermal equivalent model to incorporate melanocytes into the epidermis and found enhanced differentiation potential compared to conventional in vitro systems, reflecting in vivo cellular trajectories and highlighting melanocyte-to-keratinocyte communication pathways.

In this review, researchers summarize key factors in constructing skin organoids, including cell source and assembly methods, and emphasize advances such as air-liquid interface culture for improving tissue development, aiming to guide standardized protocols and future clinical applications.

In this study, researchers used single-cell RNA sequencing to map the hair follicle microenvironment in fine-wool sheep, identifying specific cell types and gene expressions that influence wool fiber diameter, with dermal papilla cells playing a significant role in hair follicle development.

This study found that human skin melanocytes with low mutation burdens are smaller, less dendritic, and exhibit stem-like features, often residing in UV-protected hair follicles, suggesting their role in replenishing sun-damaged epidermis.

The researchers observed that in cichlid fishes with different dental structures, tooth replacement accelerated more than three times following tooth extraction, alongside distinct changes in gene expression and cellular interactions over one week, providing insights into tooth regeneration mechanisms in vertebrates.

This study used integrated single-cell chromatin and transcriptomic analyses in developing mouse skin to uncover gene networks involved in skin lineage specification and identified Mef2c+ upper fibroblasts as potential precursors to certain muscle-like structures, with cross-species findings in human skin.

In a conditional knockout mouse model, this study found that loss of the transcription elongation factor SPT6 in basal keratinocytes led to psoriasis-like skin inflammation and delayed wound healing, suggesting SPT6 plays a crucial role in maintaining epidermal immune quiescence by suppressing proinflammatory NF-κB signaling.

This study demonstrates that a novel autologous hair follicle-derived epithelial sheet can effectively repigment skin in patients with stable vitiligo, offering a potential new treatment option.

This study reviews advances in targeted therapies for moderate-severe dermatological conditions like plaque psoriasis and atopic dermatitis, reporting on newly approved treatments and highlighting the need for further innovations in managing rare inflammatory skin diseases through emerging laboratory techniques and trials.

This study identified pathogenic or likely pathogenic gene variants in 70.1% of Russian families affected by hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, expanding knowledge of causative mutations.

This study used a mouse model to reveal that S100A4-positive cells, specifically fibroblasts and immune cells, play a crucial role in nipple development, essential for successful lactation, despite no issues with mammary morphology or milk production.

This study constructed a single-cell atlas of hair follicle cells from yaks and taurine cattle, revealing that differences in WNT signaling within dermal papilla cells may be key to the yak's adaptation to cold environments on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

This study demonstrated that skin organoids derived from human stem cells can model cutaneous tuberculosis, revealing that fibrosis development in Mycobacterium tuberculosis-infected organoids is linked to the PI3K-AKT and AP1 pathways in fibroblasts, and suggesting the potential for antifibrotic treatment evaluation.
