This study suggests that melatonin may have a radioprotective role against X-ray-induced skin damage in rats, as evidenced by milder injury markers in pretreated animals.

This study found that dermal papilla cells from balding scalp follicles secrete significantly less insulin-like growth factor-1 and its binding proteins, suggesting a mechanism contributing to male pattern baldness.

This review compiles data on Platycladus orientalis leaves, noting their diverse pharmacological activities and advocating for more research to clarify their traditional blood-cooling and hematostatic uses.

This review discusses the role of acyl-CoA binding protein (ACBP) in the epidermal barrier, noting that its disruption in mice is linked to skin and fur abnormalities; it reports no new clinical results.

In this study, researchers found that crude extracts from Avicennia marina and its component avicequinone C inhibit mechanisms contributing to androgenic alopecia in vitro, including 5α-reductase activity and DHT-AR interactions, potentially promoting hair growth and delaying the catagen phase in human dermal papilla cells.

This study found that while genetic ancestry affects physical appearance traits in Latin American populations, it accounts for only a modest portion of the observed variation.

This study identified ectodin as a novel BMP inhibitor that modulates BMP signaling in ectodermal development by interacting with SHH and FGF pathways.

This study found that neurosteroids can reorganize GABA A receptors in mice, mimicking ovarian cycle changes, with the process being mediated by neurosteroid levels rather than direct hormone receptor activation.

This review explores androgen metabolism in the skin, highlighting enzyme localization and potential implications for treating androgen-dependent skin conditions, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that while a tip-focused calcium gradient influences localized growth in root hairs and pollen tubes, it is not the primary determinant of growth direction in root hairs of Arabidopsis thaliana.

This review discusses sex differences in the neuroendocrine response to stress, focusing primarily on rodent studies, and highlights open questions about the roles of gonadal hormones and sex chromosomes.

This review examines the functions of vitamin D and its receptor in skin and explores how these are regulated, reporting no new clinical results.

This study estimates that young adults have about 230,000 tactile afferent fibers innervating their skin, with density varying by region and decreasing with age.

This study found several microRNA-related genetic variants linked to epithelial ovarian cancer risk, with a notable association at the 17q21.31 region, suggesting potential new susceptibility genes.

This study found that activation of the TRPV3 ion channel inhibits human hair growth by affecting hair follicles and outer root sheath keratinocytes.

This study found that the vitamin D receptor in lampreys, which lack bones and hair, binds 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and may function to induce enzymes for detoxifying substances.

This study observed that a wearable electric stimulation device significantly promoted hair regeneration in rats and mice, outperforming conventional pharmacological treatments and enhancing growth factor secretion.

This study found that during late pregnancy in rats, there is an increase in extrasynaptic GABA A receptor number in granule cells of the dentate gyrus, linked to hormonal fluctuations.

This study found that epidermal Wnt production is crucial for forming the skin's spinous layer through a BMP-FGF signaling cascade, although Wnt from basal cells is not needed for their differentiation.

This review discusses the features of regulatory T cells and the modulation of Foxp3, emphasizing post-translational modifications' impact on Treg function but reports no new clinical results.

This review outlines a diagnostic framework for clinicians to distinguish different types of inherited ichthyoses and suggests further testing and treatment strategies, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that the absence of the vitamin D receptor disrupts hair follicle structure during the first catagen in mice, linked to increased expression of the hairless gene.

This study suggests that the GPX-PDE1 and GPX-PDE2 genes in white lupin enhance root hair development and contribute to Pi limitation acclimation by facilitating glycerophosphodiester degradation.

This study identified novel compound heterozygous mutations in the DSG4 gene in a Japanese patient with congenital hypotrichosis, suggesting overlap between localized autosomal recessive hypotrichosis and monilethrix.

This review summarizes existing knowledge on androgen receptor activity in breast cancer and reports no new clinical findings, with emphasis on therapies targeting androgen signaling in specific BC subtypes.

This article discusses Kennedy's disease, detailing its genetic cause, symptoms, and diagnostic criteria, but reports no new clinical findings and highlights a lack of causal therapy.

This study found that patients with alopecia areata had higher levels of Th17 cells and lower levels of regulatory T cells compared to healthy controls, suggesting an immune imbalance in these patients.

This review discusses the role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors and their agonists in dermatology but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that symptom clusters in patients undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer are stable over time, suggesting that targeting core symptoms may help reduce symptom burden.

In this study, researchers created a core-shell nanozyme, CeO2@ZIF-8/Au, which autonomously regulates ROS levels to efficiently eliminate bacteria, reduce inflammation, and promote wound healing by balancing ROS generation and scavenging in response to environmental conditions.
