This study found that deleting the miRNA processing enzymes Drosha and Dicer from mouse skin epithelial cells disrupted normal hair follicle development and maintenance, leading to follicular degradation and stem cell loss during the growth phase.

In this study, specific genetic polymorphisms in the KRT71 gene were associated with hairless and curly phenotypes in Sphynx and Devon Rex cats.

This study observed that patients with various types of hair loss had significantly lower serum zinc levels compared to healthy controls, suggesting zinc disturbance may play a role in the condition.

This article discusses the relationship between cortisol, stress, and hair follicle function and highlights oral supplementation with a specific proteoglycan as a promising treatment for stress-related hair growth disorders, but it does not present new clinical results.

This study found that the transcription factors Msx2 and Foxn1 are crucial for maintaining Notch1 expression in the hair follicle matrix, which is necessary for proper hair differentiation.

In this study, researchers reported that a keratinocyte growth factor-Ig fusion protein could specifically detect and localize KGFRs in epithelial tissues, suggesting a method for histochemical detection of growth factor receptors.

This article discusses the bi-compartmental organization of hair follicle stem cell niches for balancing stem cell cycling and organ growth and proposes similar structures may exist in other adult stem cell niches but reports no new experimental results.

This study found that solid basal cell epitheliomas and the outer root sheath of human hair follicles display nearly identical cytokeratin profiles, suggesting a potential origin connection.

This article discusses the foundational concepts of nanotechnology and its contributions to dermatology and medicine, but does not present new research findings.

This article discusses the association between hypertension and polycystic ovary syndrome, highlighting the need for managing related risk factors, but reports no new clinical results.

This study demonstrated that EdnrB signaling promotes melanocyte stem cell proliferation and differentiation, enhancing hair and epidermal melanocyte regeneration, especially under conditions of active Wnt signaling.

This study describes trichilemmal keratinization as a distinct process of hair follicle keratinization that occurs in specific areas of the outer root sheath, illustrated using electron microscopy on dog hair.

This review discusses chemotherapy-induced hair loss, highlighting that topical minoxidil can lessen its severity or duration but not prevent it, and reports no new clinical results.

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.

This study found that Acvr1b signaling is crucial for both hair follicle development and cycling in mice, with the genetic disruption leading to hair loss and a thickened epidermis.

This study identified hair shaft progenitors in the matrix that regulate hair growth and pigmentation by creating a niche dependent on stem cell factor, implicating KROX20+ cells in these processes.

This study found that insulin resistance was significantly associated with PCOS among infertile women with central obesity, highlighting differences in insulin and phenotype severity.

This study found that the combination of cyproterone acetate and ethinyl estradiol improved hirsutism and acne in women, with SH 8.1041 showing significant results and both treatments being generally well-tolerated.

The researchers reported that in mice, prolactin signaling in the skin epithelium inhibits hair follicle stem cell activation, promoting quiescence during periods of high serum prolactin like pregnancy and lactation.

In this study, socially defeated mice showed increased alcohol consumption, and CRF-R1 antagonism selectively reduced drinking in these mice, suggesting a potential treatment target for stress-related alcohol use disorders.

In this study, transgenic male mice over-expressing the androgen receptor in mesenchymal stem cells showed reduced fat mass and improved glucose clearance, suggesting enhanced androgen sensitivity may alter body composition.

This study introduces a mouse model of cyclophosphamide-induced alopecia, which effectively replicates human chemotherapy-induced hair loss and can be pharmacologically manipulated to study hair regrowth patterns.

This study reported that specific non-coding RNAs may regulate the hair follicle cycle in Angora rabbits by acting as competitive endogenous RNAs, enhancing understanding of ncRNA roles in hair growth.

This study reported that high ornithine decarboxylase expression and decreased keratin K1 and K10 expression may serve as useful markers for early stages of tumor development in mouse skin.

This research discusses a novel imaging approach in live mice to study stem cell and niche interactions in tissue homeostasis and reports no new results.

Continuous light exposure in rats leads to PCOS-like symptoms and suggests sleep habits might affect the disorder's development.

This study found that IL-1 alpha inhibits the growth of cultured human hair follicles and hair fibers, suggesting a potential role in inflammatory hair loss conditions like alopecia areata.

Bimatoprost gel makes eyelashes grow longer, but may cause side effects and should be monitored by an eye doctor.

This study found that treating Tradescantia stamen hair cells with LiCl disrupts mitotic progression, leading to metaphase arrest, which can be reversed by myo-inositol or CaCl2 addition.

In this study, researchers used three-dimensional reconstruction to show that the shape of the hair follicle determines the hair's form, with variations observed among different racial groups.
