This study identified distinct gene expression programs in keratinocytes responsible for forming hard scales and soft interscale epidermis in chickens, revealing conserved differentiation genes similar to those in human skin.

Men with early balding should be checked for metabolic syndrome, as there's a link between the two.

This study found that ZDHHC13 deficiency in mice is associated with abnormal liver function, lipid metabolism issues, and impaired mitochondrial function, highlighting ZDHHC13's regulatory role in liver metabolism.

This study found that men with early-onset male pattern alopecia did not significantly differ from healthy individuals in cardiovascular and metabolic measures, but hsCRP and galectin-3 were linked to cardiovascular risk factors in those with the condition.

This study found that high levels of μ-crystallin in skeletal muscle are associated with greater fat metabolism and a shift in gene expression towards slower muscle function.

This study found that keratin damage in mammals and birds can result from N-homocysteinylation, reducing keratin solubility and indicating significant protein modification through genetic or nutritional disruptions in homocysteine metabolism.

This communication discusses previous reports of deadly hematopoietic depression associated with the topical use of demecolcine for skin cancers, highlighting potential hazards relative to colchicine ointment in psoriasis.

This review discusses the acyl-CoA synthetase very-long-chain (ACSVL) enzyme family, including its biochemical characteristics, tissue expression, and involvement in lipid metabolism, but presents no new experimental results.

This study suggests that 20 vital medicinal herbs may exert therapeutic effects on alopecia by regulating specific target genes and proteins, offering insights into their novel mechanisms distinct from conventional drugs.

This study found that the PPAR-γ modulator N-acetyl-GED may enhance mitochondrial function in human hair follicles, particularly in outer root sheath keratinocytes.

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 study found that specific gene expressions during different stages of hair follicle development in Merino sheep are linked to wool-related traits, and may also be relevant to human skin, metabolic, and immune traits.

In this study, researchers propose that the EDAR V370A allele's positive selection in East Asian populations may be linked to stable aquatic resources from Late Pleistocene ecosystems in northern China, suggesting a "nutritional niche construction" framework where these resources offset the allele's metabolic costs.

This study presents a hypothesis that the EDAR V370A allele was positively selected in East Asian populations due to the stable aquatic resources in Late Pleistocene northern China, which may have offset the allele's metabolic costs and provided a selective advantage.

This study found that gastric exclusion surgery in morbidly obese patients resulted in significant weight loss, improved metabolic parameters, and reduced prevalence of hypertension, diabetes, gout, and hyperlipidemia over time.

This review discusses the clinical manifestations of malnutrition in children, particularly highlighting the overlapping skin changes from various nutrient deficiencies, and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that some white or grey hairs can naturally regain pigmentation, suggesting hair greying may be reversible in certain conditions linked to psychological stress.

This review discusses the emerging associations between diet and various dermatologic conditions and reports no clinical results; it highlights the need for more rigorous studies on dietary interventions beyond acne.

This source discusses ichthyosis, a disorder causing dry, scaly skin, by exploring its genetic causes, potential systemic associations, and treatments, and correlates modern medical insights with Unani medicine principles focused on humoral balance and holistic care.

This study observed that common skin changes in patients with type 2 diabetes included peripheral hair loss, xerosis, anhydrosis, and nail alterations, underscoring the importance of controlling blood sugar and foot care to prevent neuropathy complications.

This study found that patients with mycosis fungoides have higher levels of cardiovascular risk markers, suggesting an increased cardiovascular risk in this group compared to healthy controls.

This study found that ulcerative colitis is associated with diverse molecular changes and chronic inflammation, with some biomarker levels partially recovering during remission.

This study found that obese patients experienced similar weight loss on a very low-calorie diet and total fast, but the diet was associated with fewer complications.

This study describes a family with X-linked gynecomastia and undervirilization in men, finding a subtle androgen receptor abnormality that may not always lead to infertility despite androgen resistance.

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 review discusses the antidiabetic properties of secondary metabolites found in 112 plants, but reports no new clinical results.

This review examines the main absorption sites and influencing factors for orally administered drugs, highlighting variables such as solubility and gastrointestinal conditions that affect drug absorption in the small intestine and the development of effective drug delivery systems.

This study found that DHEA along with osteogenic induction medium significantly promotes the osteogenic differentiation and proliferation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells from older individuals.

This review presents the practice of using hair bioelement analysis to assess nutritional status or environmental exposure, proposing complex interactions and hypotheses regarding depression and autism but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, oral collagen peptides increased certain gene expressions related to epidermis development and the hair cycle in hairless mice skin, suggesting potential links to hair health.
