The study concluded that fatty acid transport protein 4 in epidermal keratinocytes is crucial for maintaining normal skin structure, as its deficiency led to hyperkeratosis and epidermal barrier disruption in mice.

This research reports a new autosomal recessive mutation in mice, 'lanceolate hair', causing generalized alopecia and hair shaft abnormalities, which may serve as a model for Netherton's syndrome in humans.

This review discusses how transposable element activation may hinder tissue regeneration and explores mechanisms to control this activity, reporting no new experimental results.

DNCB is highly effective for treating alopecia areata with minimal long-term side effects.

This review discusses the genetic and environmental factors involved in the development of skin cancers like squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, and melanoma, but does not report new clinical findings.

This review discusses unspecific factors involved in the pathogenesis of skin diseases and potential ways cytokeratin changes might alleviate these conditions, but reports no new clinical results.

This editorial argues that growth and differentiation factors used in dentistry and medicine do not increase cancer risk, countering fears similar to past concerns about hyperbaric oxygen.

This study found that a truncated region of the K5 promoter directs expression in stratified epithelia, particularly in epidermis, hair follicles, and tongue, potentially involving specific keratinocyte nuclear proteins in regulation.

This study found that as few as 90 base pairs of the K5 promoter directed keratinocyte-preferred expression in stratified epithelia, especially in epidermis, hair follicles, and tongue, showing cell type specificity.

This study explored the secretion and cellular localization of different forms of follistatin and FST-like-3, revealing variable secretion kinetics and possible intracellular roles, particularly for nuclear FSTL3.

In this study, researchers developed a new photoactivatable Cre recombinase mouse model, DiLiCre, which allows precise light-induced genetic modifications and cell tracing, demonstrating its effectiveness for advancing biological and biomedical research.

This review discusses the potential of cathelicidins in treating skin conditions but highlights significant challenges, including unclear clinical efficacy, safety concerns, and bacterial resistance, that must be addressed for successful medical application.

This study found that the cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP-sb21 can hydroxylate cyclosporine A at multiple positions, reducing its immunosuppressive effects but retaining its hair growth-promoting side-effect, and suggests modifications to improve regioselectivity for commercial use.

This study concluded that there was clear evidence of carcinogenic activity of C.I. Acid Orange 3 in female F344/N rats but not in male rats or B6C3F1 mice of either sex.

This study found that a topical plant worm extract significantly accelerated hair regrowth in mice without apparent toxicity or side effects.

This study investigated the extracellular polysaccharides from the edible green alga Parachlorella sp. BX1.5, finding that they have potential applications in cosmetics and health products due to their stability, antioxidant properties, and effects on hair growth in mice.

This in-silico study found that Finasteride interferes with neurotransmitters and may increase psychopathology when it decomposes into a carboxylic acid similar to Cortisol.

This review of 355 articles found that apigenin, a compound found in many plants and vegetables, is mainly researched for its anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and anti-cancer properties, with enhanced efficacy when combined with allopathic drugs.

This study found that the nutraceutical product DERM decreased the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-6 in mesenchymal stem cells under in vitro conditions.

This article reviews the mechanisms and uses of minoxidil for hypertension and androgenetic alopecia, without presenting new clinical findings.

This review discusses the various medicinal properties attributed to the banana plant and reports no new clinical results; the authors suggest its potential in herbal medicine.

This review discusses spironolactone's new roles in tumor immunosurveillance, DNA repair inhibition, and viral infection suppression, highlighting its potential to extend uses beyond traditional applications, but reports no clinical results.

This study found that long-term smoking was associated with increased mitochondrial DNA deletions in hair follicles, especially among smokers with low plasma glutathione S-transferase activity.

This study reports that treatment with X-rays or procarbazine induced dose-dependent mutations in melanocytes in mouse hair follicles, showing similar mutation rates to previous methods.

In this study, DNA cross-linking agents used in cancer therapy were found to cause unintended hyperplasia and fate mis-specification in normal epithelial stem cells through inflammasome activation in dermal fibroblasts.

This review classifies mutant mice with hair abnormalities into six categories, providing an annotated table that serves as a reference for understanding the molecular controls of hair growth.

This article discusses the genomic and postgenomic changes in chronic degenerative diseases and cardiovascular and skin disease contexts, highlighting potential modulation through diet and pharmacological interventions without presenting new experimental results.

This review discusses the potential adverse effects of herbal remedies, such as allergic reactions and drug interactions, and reports no new clinical findings; the authors suggest the risks might be underestimated.

This study found that RXRα/RARγ heterodimers are necessary for retinoic acid-induced keratinocyte proliferation in the skin, while normal epidermal maintenance does not require RAR-mediated signaling.

Azathioprine's effectiveness and safety require careful monitoring and more research, especially regarding its use with corticosteroids and the role of TPMT status in patients.
