This review summarizes recent research on the molecular properties and functions of L-PGDS and PGD2, but reports no new findings, highlighting their pathophysiological roles and guiding future studies.

This study, conducted among Egyptians, found a borderline significant association between the Stul polymorphism of the androgen receptor gene and androgenetic alopecia in males, with higher androgen receptor expression in balding scalp areas.

This study documented distinct expression patterns of stem cell markers LGR5 and LGR6 in various human skin tumors, highlighting differences in their potential roles and contributions to tumor development.

This study identified specific markers that can distinguish between stem cells in different regions of human scalp hair follicles, offering potential strategies for cell sorting and purification based on these markers.

In this study, human dermal papilla cells exposed to wasabi leaf extract showed changes in cytokine-related gene expression, which the authors suggest could help clarify the biological effects of wasabi.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome have elevated cardiovascular risk markers, with levels being higher in obese participants compared to non-obese participants.

This study found that epidermal stem cells in nonglabrous skin are connected to the distal end of the arrector pili muscle, which may play a role in epidermal renewal and wound healing.

This study found that miR-221 levels in hair shafts were significantly higher in malignant melanoma patients compared to controls, suggesting potential as a non-invasive screening marker.

This study found that nobiletin-loaded vesicles effectively restored skin condition in a mouse model of skin cancer, suggesting they are a promising treatment delivery system.

In this case-control study, researchers found that serum apelin-12 levels were significantly higher in acne patients and correlated with acne severity, BMI, insulin resistance, and inflammation, suggesting that managing insulin resistance could be important for acne treatment.

This study found that serum PSA levels are higher in hirsute women and can be significantly reduced by antiandrogen treatment, suggesting PSA as a marker of androgen action in females.

This study found that low doses of bisphenol A may increase proliferation of the ventral prostate in adult rats by altering the estrogen to androgen ratio and gene expression.

This study suggests melatonin may promote cashmere growth in Inner Mongolian cashmere goats through the nuclear receptor RORα, with a noted mRNA expression difference in December compared to other months.

The study found that women with hyperandrogenic PCOS have higher levels of AKT1 and AKT2 proteins in their cells, which may lead to cell dysfunction.

This study found that normal ALT levels in women of reproductive age are linked with metabolic and androgenic abnormalities, suggesting ALT could be used beyond liver disease diagnoses.

This study identified a new subset of Ret-positive sensory neurons involved in itch perception, characterized by their unique expression profile and response to specific itch-inducing molecules.

This article reviews the genetic and protein interactions involved in hair growth, highlighting regulatory sequences, expression patterns, and potential genetic modifications, but presents no new experimental findings.

This study suggests that sexual dimorphism in adipose tissue functions may be linked to androgen levels, as women with PCOS demonstrated a more masculine adipokine expression pattern.

CD200 is not a reliable marker for identifying stem cells in all skin types.

In this study, rice bran mineral extract increased expression of anagen-related proteins and decreased inflammatory markers in human dermal papilla cells, suggesting potential for hair growth enhancement and prevention of hair loss.

This study found that the absence of Ctip2 in epidermal keratinocytes led to impaired wound healing in mice, affecting cell migration, proliferation, and hair follicle stem cell maintenance.

In this study, the researchers observed that a recombinant human collagen complex with nicotinamide promoted hair growth in rat models, increased hair follicle stem cell survival, and enhanced key protein expression, suggesting potential benefits for hair health and loss prevention.

This study developed a new melanocyte cultivation medium without chemical mitogens, melanogenesis enhancers, or bovine products, demonstrating successful proliferation and melanotic differentiation of human melanocytes from hair follicles.

This study found that the ethyl acetate fraction of Hibiscus rosa sinensis petals significantly reduced serum glucose and glycated hemoglobin levels in diabetic rats, showing effects comparable to the standard drug metformin.

The authors concluded that utilizing clock gene expression from hair follicle cells may improve circadian-phase estimation in clinical settings, aiding the detection of circadian-related sleep problems despite social time constraints.

This study found that ultraviolet radiation causes significant damage to human hair follicles, including increased cell apoptosis and oxidative DNA damage, but this damage may be mitigated by topical caffeine.

This study found that lymphatic vessels in mice are important for hair follicle development and organization, as their depletion blocks hair growth.

This study found that expression and variants of the KRT84 gene are associated with important wool traits in Gansu Alpine Fine-wool sheep, suggesting its potential use as a genetic marker for wool trait selection.

This study reports that patients with specific MFN2 mutations, including p.Arg707Trp, exhibit significant upper body fat overgrowth with suppressed leptin production, suggesting tissue-selective mitochondrial dysfunction and potential therapeutic targets.

This study suggests that specific mutations in the MFN2 gene, including the p.Arg707Trp allele, can result in tissue-selective mitochondrial dysfunction leading to excessive upper body fat growth and low leptin levels.
