January 2026 This study reveals that the microRNA-200 family, highly enriched in hair matrix progenitors, restricts sebaceous gland development by inhibiting the SOX9-dependent lipogenic program, highlighting its specific role in epithelial plasticity within hair follicles.
June 2025 in “British Journal of Dermatology” In this report, two cases of melanocytic matricoma, a rare benign hair follicle lesion that mimics melanoma and basal cell carcinoma, were described and successfully treated with complete surgical excision. Histological analysis was crucial for differentiation from similar malignant lesions.
