This study found that SK2 channels in sensory terminals of rat muscle spindles and hair follicles may play a crucial role in modulating mechanosensory transduction by influencing receptor potentials through Ca2+-activated K+ currents.

This study identified intramembrane proteolysis as a key feature of Astrotactin2 maturation, providing insights into its role in planar cell polarity hair patterning.

In this study, the researchers found that optic atrophy 1 (OPA1) is involved in the transition between filamentous and rounded mitochondria in hair follicle dermal papilla cells, potentially influencing cellular energy dynamics.

This study reported that distinct stem/progenitor populations in the ocular surface epithelium have different cell division frequencies and respond differently to injury, with specific spatial compartmentalization and migration behaviors.

This study found that stimulating the olfactory receptor OR2A4/7 with cyclohexyl salicylate promoted human hair growth and increased progeny of hair follicle epithelial stem cells in an ex vivo setting.

This study suggests that the expression of the DP2 receptor is higher in balding scalp cells and that its knockdown could inhibit the transition to the catagen phase in cultured human hair follicles, potentially counteracting hair growth inhibition associated with male pattern baldness.

This study demonstrates that Sox2-positive dermal papilla cells specify particular hair follicle types by showing heterogeneity in gene expression and pathway activation in these cells.

This study found that the OVOL1 gene in mouse neonatal dermal cells is crucial for hair follicle neogenesis, suggesting it plays a significant role in maintaining trichogenicity.

This review highlights the roles of key transcription factors and signaling pathways in regulating olfactory epithelium regeneration, discussing recent advances in single-cell and spatial transcriptomics as well as organoid models to enhance understanding of olfactory regeneration mechanisms.

This study integrated single-cell RNA-seq data from four previous studies to create a comprehensive human corneal cell state meta-atlas, revealing novel marker genes, rare cell states, and distinct transcription factors, and offering a tool to enhance future cornea research.

This study suggests that targeting olfactory receptors in the lung epithelium might help treat odorant-induced asthma in cases without type 2 inflammation, as these receptors could play a role in airway sensitivity to smells.

This study found that cPPARγ and dnPPARγ isoforms are differentially expressed in healthy human skin, suggesting that PPARγ modulators may have compartment-specific effects depending on isoform presence.

This paper presents two cases of rare intraorbital ophthalmic artery aneurysms associated with arteriovenous malformations and discusses their clinical presentation, pathogenesis, and management, but reports no new clinical outcomes.

This study found that the trichogenicity of cultured human outer root sheath follicular keratinocytes decreased with longer cultivation periods and was significantly influenced by the expression of the transcription factor FOXA2.

This review discusses cornea-specific keratin expression patterns in human and mouse development and reports no new experimental results; it highlights the need for investigating keratin mutations' role in pathology.

This study found that BMP-2 activates Dlx3 gene transcription in murine keratinocytes by binding with Smad1/Smad4, suggesting a mechanism for BMP signaling's role in skin and hair follicle regulation.

This study found that Angiotensin II is expressed more in black sheep skins compared to white sheep skins, suggesting its involvement in coat color regulation.

This study found that transgenic expression of COX-2 in mouse basal keratinocytes causes epidermal hyperplasia and certain dysplastic features at specific body sites.

CaBP1 and CaBP2 are important for continuous hearing by preventing inactivation of calcium currents in ear cells, with CaBP2 also able to restore hearing when reintroduced.

This review discusses how the CRH/POMC systems may regulate human hair follicle pigmentation and highlights the concept of "self-similarity" in melanocortin systems at both local and systemic levels, without presenting new experimental results.

This study in a transgenic mouse model found that repressing overexpression of ornithine decarboxylase reduced papilloma development, indicating its role in tumor promotion sensitivity.

This study found that overexpression of OsPHR2 in rice leads to increased phosphate accumulation and root architecture changes even under phosphate-sufficient conditions.

This study found that Hopx labels a long-lived progenitor population in hair follicles, which contributes to hair follicle stem cell homeostasis and has an alternative origin from previously thought progenitors.

In this study, researchers found that the pCLCA2 protein is expressed in specific areas of pig skin, but its role in skin structure or function remains unclear.

This study analyzed proteomic changes in Jiangnan cashmere goats' secondary hair follicles and found that the PLIN2 gene significantly impacts hair follicle growth cycles by affecting dermal papilla cell proliferation, offering insights into breeding strategies to enhance cashmere yield.

This study reports the first case of Olmsted syndrome in a Korean patient, identifying a novel TRPV3 gene mutation, p.Gly568Val, associated with the condition.

In this study, exome sequencing revealed that two brothers with ichthyosis, born to consanguineous parents, had NIPAL4 autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis, while the older brother's blindness resulted from separate mutations in the peroxidasin gene, which were also found in an unaffected sister.

This study found that AP-2α and AP-2β transcription factors are crucial for maintaining adult skin homeostasis, with their inactivation in keratinocytes leading to impaired differentiation, hair abnormalities, and inflammation, highlighting their key regulatory roles.

This study identified a new subset of Ret-positive sensory neurons involved in itch perception, characterized by their unique expression profile and response to specific itch-inducing molecules.
