This study identified multiple loss of function variants in the HR gene linked to the unique hair coat phenotype in lykoi cats, also known as werewolf cats.

This review discusses the identification and roles of different epidermal stem cell types in skin homeostasis and repair, and reports no new experimental findings.

In this study, researchers used transcriptomics and modeling to uncover previously unknown cell populations and marker genes in developing hair follicles, providing insights into early cell fate establishment and offering tools for further research on skin appendages.

This article reviews insights into the pathogenesis of primary cicatricial alopecias, such as lichen planopilaris, provided by emerging technologies, but it does not report new clinical results.

This review concludes that Tamarix aphylla, used traditionally for ailments such as tuberculosis and hepatitis, demonstrates various pharmacological activities, including antidiabetic and wound-healing effects, but stresses the need for further research to confirm its safety and effectiveness in humans.

This study found that rare germline pathogenic variants in BRCA2, BRCA1, and ATM are associated with increased risk of aggressive prostate cancer.

This review discusses the potential of solid-state fermentation for extracting polyphenolic compounds from agro-industrial wastes, but it reports no new experimental results.

In this study, transiently activating the sonic hedgehog signaling pathway in chickens transformed reticulate scales on the feet into feathers comparable to body feathers, without ongoing treatment, suggesting this pathway affects the diversity of bird skin appendages.

This study focused on developing agarose/fucoidan hydrogels for the encapsulation of pancreatic cells, reporting that these materials supported cell viability and self-organization into pseudo-islets over 7 days, highlighting potential for diabetes treatment applications.

This study reported that human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived skin organoids, used to model epidermolysis bullosa, have an epidermal-dermal junction largely lacking type VII collagen, which is important for skin structure.

This study concluded that an 8-week low-starch/low-dairy diet increased fat oxidation in overweight and obese women with PCOS.

This study found that controlling transferrin receptor expression effectively regulates iron content in the epidermis and hair of transgenic mice.

In this study, frequent use of hair straighteners/relaxers and pressing products was associated with an increased risk of ovarian cancer, with potential variation in risk by tumor type noted for permanent hair dyes.

This study found that modified laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity reduced ghrelin levels, improved glycemic and insulin levels, and resulted in significant weight loss.

This study found that human liver dehydroepiandrosterone sulfotransferase (DHEA ST) catalyzes the sulfate conjugation of minoxidil, indicating another pathway contributing to its metabolism in humans.

This source reviews the potential of polyphenols as therapeutic and preventive treatments for common skin disorders such as acne, fungal infections, dermatitis, alopecia, and skin cancer, emphasizing their anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects and ability to penetrate the skin barrier.

In this retrospective cohort study, researchers found that persistent discontinuation of gender-affirming hormones among transgender adolescents was rare, mainly due to achieving gender expression goals or access issues, with very few reidentifying with their birth-assigned sex.

Inositol helped cure hair loss around rats' eyes and improved their growth.

In this study, hair follicle-derived mesenchymal stromal cells showed potential for immunomodulation, with equivalent or superior responses compared to those from adipose tissue, suggesting a promising alternative cell source.

MK-386 and finasteride together effectively reduce DHT levels, potentially treating acne and male pattern baldness.

In this study, activating TRPV1 nociceptors in mice skin stimulated dormant hair follicles and promoted hair growth through a mechanism involving dermal macrophages, fibroblasts, and neuropeptides, highlighting a new role for nociceptors in tissue recovery after injury.

This study found that thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) promotes hair growth after skin injury by enhancing the proliferation of specific stem cells in hair follicles.

This overview discusses the mind-body problem and suggests that the brain may be intrinsically part of the mind, processing abstract data without direct interaction, but reports no new research results.

This study suggests that women with polycystic ovary syndrome may have an increased risk of COVID-19-related cardiac and renal complications, and that weight loss through lifestyle changes could help reduce these risks.

This review explores the similarities between polycystic ovary syndrome and hemochromatosis in terms of iron overload and suggests that addressing gut dysbiosis might help manage iron levels in these conditions.

This study found that U.S. dermatology residents receive insufficient LGBT education, potentially affecting their readiness to address the specific needs of LGBT patients in dermatologic care.

This study found that manipulating Wnt/β-catenin signaling in embryonic mammary glands impacted their development, with high activity levels hindering branching and potentially redirecting cells toward hair follicle identity instead of mammary tissue.

This article reviews cell proteomic footprinting technology and its application in improving the authentication and quality control of cell-based immunotherapeutics, without providing new clinical results.

This study highlights that ZNF750, a zinc-finger transcription factor, is crucial for epidermal differentiation and barrier formation in skin by activating genes involved in lipid processing and stratum corneum development, and links ZNF750 sequence variations to skin inflammatory diseases like psoriasis.

This review highlighted recent advances in nanocarrier-based topical delivery systems for skincare, emphasizing their potential to enhance ingredient stability, penetration, and targeted release while addressing specific pathophysiological skin concerns.
