This study found that cystatin M/E strongly inhibits human cathepsin V and cathepsin L via distinct non-overlapping sites, suggesting an important role in human epidermal differentiation and hair follicle morphogenesis.

Merkel cells are abundant in facial vellus hair follicles, especially during the anagen phase.

This study observed two cases of pigmented epithelioid melanocytoma suggesting potential differing origins: one from a hair follicle's outer root sheath and another from an intradermal nevus.

This study reports that the monoclonal antibody BKN-1 specifically stained basal cell epithelioma cells and certain normal skin structures, indicating a similarity in keratin expression between the tumor and follicular epithelium below the isthmus portion.

This review found that microinfusion of medications using tattoo devices (MMP®) shows potential as a minimally invasive method for treating ailments like alopecia and basal cell carcinoma, offering notable improvements with minimal side effects due to localized drug delivery.

This study suggests that a novel micropatterned dermal–epidermal matrix (μDERM) enhances keratinocyte function and epidermal morphology, offering potential improvements in skin substitute design for wound healing applications.

In this study, melatonin-loaded Pickering emulsions stabilized by chitosan-dextran sulphate nanoparticles and enhanced with lecithin showed improved photostability, antioxidant activity, and follicular delivery in androgenic alopecia-affected rats, potentially rivaling commercial minoxidil for hair loss treatment.

This study found that penetration enhancer-containing vesicles significantly improved minoxidil delivery to the skin compared to traditional liposomes and penetration enhancer-containing ethanolic solutions, with deformability linked to enhanced deposition.

This study revealed that during fetal development, MITF and Mart-1 expressing melanocytes progress from the dermis to the epidermis and hair follicles, with MITF possibly marking follicular stem cells.

This animal study observed that while topical MBEH and intraperitoneal phenol induced hair graying in eumelanic mice, they had little effect on pheomelanic mice, and amcinonide reduced certain epidermal melanocytes in both.

This study found that the formation of the fibre cuticle surface in Merino sheep is similar to the epidermal stratum corneum process and not from a modified plasma membrane as previously thought.

This study found that minoxidil solubilized in gelatin-containing microemulsions resulted in over 5% of the drug remaining in porcine skin, significantly more than the reference gel.

This case report details an unusual instance of multiple eruptive milia in an otherwise healthy 3-month-old baby, characterized by widespread distribution and believed to be idiopathic due to the absence of associated genodermatoses.

This study found that matriptase, a membrane serine protease, is crucial for maintaining multiple types of epithelial tissues in mice, with its absence leading to severe organ dysfunction and increased permeability.

This study found that human dermal papilla cells are embedded in a basement membrane-like extracellular matrix, which is essential for their aggregation and function, as supported by evidence that Matrigel enhances dermal papilla cohesion and gene expression compared to collagen I, which promotes cell dispersion.

This study reviewed the use of microinfusion of microparticles (MMP®) with methotrexate for treating alopecia frontal fibrosante and found it reduced symptoms associated with the condition and improved specific scalp measurements, showing that the technique is safe and well-tolerated.

This case report details a rare instance of malignant proliferating trichilemmal tumour in a 60-year-old male, emphasizing the significance of histochemical and immunohistochemical markers for accurate diagnosis and differentiation from squamous cell carcinoma.

This study found that human placenta extract may be a promising pulp-capping material, causing less intense chronic inflammation and thicker dentine bridge formation compared to mineral trioxide aggregate in dogs' teeth.

In this study, Epimedii Folium extract was found to enhance melanin production and promote pigmentation through mechanisms involving the MAPK/ERK1/2 pathway in both in vitro and in vivo models.

Two elderly men developed scalp inflammation after using a gel for skin lesions, which healed with treatment except for some permanent hair loss.

This study concluded that among the three diagnostic techniques for detecting Demodex mites in dogs, the scraping technique provided the best diagnostic value.

This study found that mycophenolate may stabilize β-catenin and counteract interferon-γ-induced catagen changes in human dermal papilla cells, which could promote hair growth.

This study found that epimorphin and a modified peptide, pep7, can stimulate hair follicles to shift from a resting phase to a growing phase in both an organ culture assay and in mice.

This case report documents the first use of bimekizumab as monotherapy for dissecting cellulitis of the scalp, where a 27-year-old man experienced significant symptom relief without adverse effects after failing standard treatments.

In this study, researchers developed a leech-inspired microneedle platform for targeted delivery of metformin to hair follicle cells, which showed promising results in reducing inflammation and oxidative stress and promoting hair growth, offering a potential new treatment strategy for androgenetic alopecia.

This case report identifies a new type of hair matrix tumor called "rippled pattern trichomatricoma," distinguished by its unique cell arrangement and differentiation features.

This research investigated the role of EphA1 in embryonic and adult tissues, generating mouse models suggesting potential links to skin and colon cancer, sepsis, and post-traumatic injury.

In this study, researchers developed EPO-derived peptides that enhanced hair growth by stimulating dermal papilla cells and increasing IGF-1 expression without triggering systemic erythropoietic effects in tested models, indicating a promising approach for treating hair loss.

This study found that treatment with EGFR inhibitors or mitogen-activated kinase inhibitors may compromise the immune privilege of human scalp hair follicles, suggesting new directions for managing drug-induced folliculitis.
