This study revealed that basement membrane dynamics are crucial to hair follicle development, influencing progenitor cell behavior and cell division patterns in developing mouse hair follicles.

In this research, investigators used in vitro models to study the Merkel cell-neurite complex and reported that mechanical stimulation, similar to gentle touch, can induce molecular changes that are potentially relevant to hair growth, thus contributing to the understanding of its underlying mechanisms.

This study found that the vermilion border and mucosa of the monkey lip have a dense sensory innervation, which correlates with their known tactile sensitivity.

This study found that the mutation Glu402Lys in keratin hHb6 may be associated with monilethrix, and homozygous patients in a consanguineous family exhibited more severe symptoms.

This case report presents the first known instance of cutaneous lymphoma in a nondomestic bovid, documented in a 13-year-old addax.

This study describes a newly identified mite species, Demodex zalophi, found on captive sea lions and highlights its unique traits, including being the first of its kind described in marine mammals.

This study synthesized calcium citrate nanoparticles to improve the solubility and reduce the irritation of minoxidil solutions for treating androgenetic alopecia.

This case report describes a 14-year-old female patient with monilethrix who developed female androgenetic alopecia at age 23, and found that oral minoxidil treatment improved her androgenetic alopecia while leaving the underlying structural hair anomalies of monilethrix unchanged.

This study re-examined the structure of lanceolate endings in rat vibrissae, suggesting that their apical cones may function as a transducer site for detecting hair movements.

This study found that overexpression of sPLA2-X in mice was associated with alopecia and hair follicle abnormalities, highlighting its potential role in hair follicle homeostasis.

This article reviews genetic mutations linked to monilethrix, a hereditary hair disorder, and reports no new clinical findings on the condition's variability in symptoms and severity.

This study in rats found that a new hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin formulation of minoxidil reduced the adverse cardiovascular and proliferative effects seen with traditional minoxidil solutions.

This study reveals that basement membrane composition and structure in mouse hair follicles are specialized for distinct inter-tissue interactions, with laminin α5 being essential for maintaining these interfaces.

This study found that mice lacking myelin protein zero-like 3 (Mpzl3) had reduced body weight and adiposity despite increased food intake, which was linked to higher energy expenditure and improved glycemic control.

In this study, miliacin combined with polar lipids significantly stimulated IGF1 production, increased the renewal of keratinocytes, and enhanced collagen thickness in a hair follicle model.

In this study, researchers developed a mathematical model of outer hair cell hair bundles that replicates experimental responses to mechanical stimuli, providing insights into the stimulus-dependent adaptation mechanisms and the functional significance of their three-row stereocilia configuration in mammalian hearing.

This study developed a nanoemulsion of garlic oil and apple cider vinegar loaded with minoxidil to enhance drug permeation through skin, reporting improved ex vivo skin permeation parameters compared to an aqueous dispersion of minoxidil, suggesting potential benefits for treating alopecia areata.

In this study, minoxidil sulfate was found to relax norepinephrine-induced contractions in rabbit mesenteric arteries, possibly by acting as a K+ channel agonist, but it did not relax K+-induced contractions.

In this study, researchers identified that three homologous genes—ZmSPL10, ZmSPL14, and ZmSPL26—are crucial for the development of stigmatic papilla in maize, with triple knockout mutants lacking these genes showing almost no stigmatic papilla and significantly reduced kernel setting.

This review discusses the regulation of the MiT-TFE family transcription factors, particularly TFEB, through phosphorylation-mediated subcellular localization and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that the new delivery system HL@Mi enhanced the skin penetration, local bioavailability, and safety of minoxidil, supporting improved hair growth in an androgenetic alopecia animal model.

This study found that serum prolactin and dehydroepiandrosterone levels did not determine the onset of mink hair growth cycles, though their metabolites may influence other aspects of hair growth.

This study found that multiphoton microscopy effectively visualizes the microstructure of in vivo mouse skin, offering a clear view of various skin layers and components like corneocytes and collagen fibers.

In this study, researchers used a mouse model to demonstrate that expression of MARCKSL1 in dendritic cells plays a crucial role in modulating fibrotic responses and scar formation during wound healing, suggesting that targeting this expression could offer new therapeutic strategies for scar prevention.

This study found that Hoxc13 mutations in mice cause defects in hair, nail, and tongue structures, with the most noticeable issue being brittle hair leading to alopecia.

This study found that both oral tranexamic acid and microneedling improve melasma treatment outcomes when added to standard therapy, with microneedling showing a more sustained remission.

This study found that Runx3 deficiency in mice affects hair type and shape, suggesting it may regulate hair formation through interactions between dermal and epidermal layers.

This case study describes a 9-year-old boy with monilethrix and associated abnormalities, suggesting a new, severe autosomal recessive variant termed "monilethrix syndrome.
