This study found that genetic ablation of Tet genes in mice led to changes in hair structure and keratin gene expression, indicating a role for Tet-mediated 5hmC DNA oxidation in hair follicle development and cycling.

This study found that low temperatures and nitrogen deficiency trigger root hair elongation through a molecular mechanism involving the receptor kinase FERONIA and the TOR Complex 1.

This study observed that combined treatment with thyroxine and hydrocortisone increased lipid accretion and fat cell development in hypophysectomized fetal pigs, suggesting a key role of these hormones in fetal adipogenesis.

In this study, researchers examined two new cases of trichothiodystrophy and observed that the condition is linked to decreased synthesis of high-sulfur matrix proteins in hair.

This paper highlights advances in Developmental Dynamics, noting how epoa-deficient zebrafish can model Diamond-Blackfan anemia like disorders for drug screening, Alx4 mouse models offer insights into craniofacial development, and mTORC1 signaling is crucial for retinal development.

This study observed that human growth hormone treatment in osteoporosis patients appeared to improve skin thickness and restore dermal structures towards normal without stimulating hair, sebum, or melanin.

This case report describes the presence of a teratoma within an equine antral follicle and suggests that the ovary maintained functionality despite the teratoma, as indicated by active antral follicles and recent ovulation.

This study found that one year of antiandrogen treatment with spironolactone significantly decreased bone mineral density in young women with androgen excess.

This study suggests that chronic treatment with TPA in mouse skin selectively expands a keratinocyte subpopulation hyperinducible for ODC, which may be a key target for neoplastic transformation.

This study found that active BMP signaling prevents epithelial stem cell activation and expansion in hair follicles, while its inhibition leads to HF stem/progenitor cell overproduction and matricomas.

This report discusses the challenges of interpreting bone mineral density in transgender individuals undergoing hormone therapy and highlights the lack of guidelines for assessing fracture risk or BMD results in this population.

In this study conducted on Iraqi individuals with celiac disease not on a gluten-free diet, researchers observed elevated serum urea and creatinine levels, which may indicate an increased risk of renal dysfunction, alongside decreased magnesium, zinc, and vitamin C compared to healthy controls.

This review highlights the possible impact of side effects from endocrine therapy on quality of life, emphasizing that these can lead to poor adherence and early treatment discontinuation in patients with hormone receptor positive early breast cancer, potentially worsening survival outcomes.

This study found that trichothiodystrophic hair shows reduced and disoriented protein deposition in follicles, with both the cuticle and cortex affected, providing localized structural insights into keratin abnormalities.

This study indicates that the OVOL1-OVOL2 axis may play a significant role in hair follicle differentiation and growth, potentially serving as therapeutic targets for hair disorders like alopecia and in the tumorigenesis of pilomatricoma.

This study found that Plant Elicitor Peptides enhance root hair growth through a mechanism independent of their known receptors, with PROPEP2 playing a key role in this process by influencing gene expression related to root hair formation.

This research found that Leydig cells significantly rely on synthesizing omega-6 HUFAs to support male steroid hormone production, highlighting a new role for these fatty acids in the male reproductive system.

This study demonstrated that in genetic mouse models, the calcium sensor Stim1, not Stim2, is essential for sweat secretion in sweat glands.

Balanced protease activity is crucial for healthy skin and hair development.

This article reviews recent advances in the synthesis of oxasteroids and reports no new experimental results.

This study found that hair growth is regulated by interactions between epithelial and mesenchymal cells, with various growth factors and hormones influencing different aspects of this process.

This study suggests that ethyl acetate extract of Equisetum debile may be effective for functional food and nutraceutical use due to its strong 5α-reductase, IL-6 inhibition, and lipid peroxidation activities without cytotoxic effects.

In this review, researchers summarize the methods for characterizing telocytes, outline their physiological roles and implications in diseases, and discuss potential future studies including precise markers and targeted therapies.

This study found that deleting all three Tet genes in mice led to shorter hair shafts and altered hair types, with associated changes in gene expression and DNA hydroxymethylation.

This study suggests that the outermost hair cuticle surface is rich in 18-methyleicosanic acid (18-MEA), supporting previous findings of its multilayer lipid and protein structure.

This article discusses the dual nature of selenium, highlighting its essential metabolic roles and potential toxicity at high doses, and reports no new experimental findings.

In this study, buffalo calves fed only corn silage showed deficiencies in copper, zinc, selenium, and vitamin A, along with improved physiological conditions after dietary supplementation and treatment.

This study observed that selenium retention in rat hair and nails was influenced by the chemical form of dietary selenium and methionine status, suggesting caution when using these tissues to assess selenium status.
