This review discusses recent findings on fibrotic lipodystrophy, highlighting the critical roles of lipid-filled cells in tissue function and their loss during fibrogenesis, with implications for fibrosis in tissues like skin, lung, and liver.

This study found that, despite the unchanged total level of 18-MEA, deletion of the Sox21 gene disrupts its attachment to the hair cuticle, increases cholesterol sulphate levels, and differentially affects ceramide composition.

This study found that MPZL3 knockout mice showed reduced dermal white adipose tissue and increased sebocyte proliferation, suggesting a regulatory role for MPZL3 in lipid metabolism balance between adipocytes and sebocytes.

In this study, researchers highlighted that while hair lipids are crucial for hair health and protection, surfactants in shampoos and conditioners can partially remove these lipids, potentially affecting hair structure, though the exact mechanisms remain poorly understood and require further investigation.

This study suggests that decreased PPARgamma function may trigger the pathogenesis of lichen planopilaris, and PPARgamma-targeted therapy could be a potential treatment method.

In this animal study, a topical gel containing ethyl-methyl-hydroxypyridine succinate showed potential in accelerating hair regrowth and improving skin biochemical parameters in rats with chemically induced alopecia, suggesting its possible benefit for alopecia related to oxidative stress.

In this study, targeted deletion of the stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 gene in mice disrupted the epidermal lipid barrier, leading to increased water loss, impaired thermoregulation, and metabolic issues.

This study found that the hair interior defect in AKR/J mice is linked to a mutation in the Soat1 gene, which disrupts SOAT1 protein expression and affects lipid metabolism critical for normal hair formation.

This study found that African and Caucasian hair contain the most lipids, and depletion of these lipids leads to less water retention and increased water desorption, with Caucasian hair showing improved breaking tenacity after lipid extraction.

This study investigated lipid loss in hair caused by surfactants and found that surface and internal modifications can significantly protect different lipids from depletion, with internal modification preventing 52.0 to 81.3% of lipids in certain groups.

This study introduced Scd3-Cre mice, which enabled sebocyte-specific manipulation, revealing that sebaceous lipid depletion impaired water repulsion, thermoregulation, and the ocular surface, resembling Meibomian gland dysfunction.

This study observed that inducible deletion of the Ugcg gene in mouse epidermis led to a significant reduction in GlcCers and epidermal POS-Cers, causing impaired skin barrier function and delayed wound healing.

This study found that in mice, deleting the keratin 10 gene enhances sebocyte differentiation and increases secretion of sebum and certain lipids without affecting proliferation-associated keratins.

In this animal study, researchers found that the simultaneous deletion of ERBB2 and ERBB3 in mice results in impaired skin differentiation, inflammation, and sebaceous gland alteration, leading to skin lesions, while highlighting potential side effects in cancer therapies targeting these receptors.

This report describes the clinical and histopathological features of lipoid proteinosis in a brother and sister with lid lesions, highlighting the importance of recognizing such lesions for diagnosis.

mTORC2 is crucial for healthy skin barrier by regulating lipids and filaggrin.

This study found that loss of the DNA methyltransferase Dnmt3a, but not Dnmt3b, increased carcinogen-induced squamous tumors in murine epidermis, with combined deletion leading to more aggressive and metastatic carcinomas.

The research found that while Dnmt3a and Dnmt3b are not necessary for skin homeostasis in mice, the loss of Dnmt3a increases squamous tumor formation from carcinogens, and combined deletion of both results in more aggressive and metastatic tumors.

This review discusses the role of Ysc84/SH3yl1 proteins in linking actin regulation to membrane morphology changes but reports no new experimental results.

This study found that autophagy plays a role in sebaceous gland function and sebum composition control in mice lacking the Atg7 gene in keratinocytes.

In this study, Far2-/- mice were observed to develop focal alopecia with altered sebaceous gland morphology and lower skin lipid levels compared to wildtype mice.

This case report describes a 68-year-old woman with metastatic breast cancer who experienced significant improvement in visual acuity after stopping tamoxifen, which was associated with bilateral optic neuropathies.

This paper presents two cases of rare intraorbital ophthalmic artery aneurysms associated with arteriovenous malformations and discusses their clinical presentation, pathogenesis, and management, but reports no new clinical outcomes.

This study presents two cases correlating the clinical appearance of adult-onset foveomacular vitelliform dystrophy with optical coherence tomography findings, describing the location of the yellow vitelliform material.

This study found that loss of the ACER1 gene in mice led to increased ceramide levels and progressive hair loss, highlighting ACER1's role in maintaining hair follicle stem cell homeostasis.

This study found that skin bacteria promote regeneration in wound-induced hair follicle neogenesis, suggesting a role for IL-1β signaling and challenging the belief that infection inhibits healing.

In this study, a single oral dose of 2,3,4,7,8-pentachlorodibenzofuran in male Fischer rats led to dose-dependent toxicity, resulting in weight loss, hepatotoxicity, and mortality.

This study found that deleting ceramide synthase 4 in skin epidermis stem cells disrupts hair follicle and skin barrier function, leading to immune responses similar to atopic dermatitis, due to imbalances in lipid composition affecting differentiation.

This study suggests that thermal imaging may aid in diagnosing cellulitis, potentially improving patient care, although its applicability to certain cases requires further investigation.

Blocking DPP4 can help prevent fat loss and skin fibrosis.
