This review examines the role of trace elements like zinc, selenium, and copper in treating alopecia and discusses the mechanisms by which their imbalance affects hair loss, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study describes cases of diffuse alopecia and thyroid alterations in sheep, linking selenium and zinc deficiencies to decreased serum T3 and T4 concentrations and related skin conditions.

This study found that human trichohyalin has a unique protein sequence potentially contributing to at least three important functions in hair follicle and epidermal cells.

This review discusses the various components essential for successful tissue engineering, such as cell sources, modification methods, and supportive matrices, and highlights the need for functional synergy without reporting new experimental results.

This study found that keloid tissues exhibit epithelial-mesenchymal transition-related changes and alterations in gene expression, implicating these processes in the pathogenesis of keloids.

This study found that mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation in epithelial cells is necessary for proper enamel formation and odontoblast differentiation in developing incisor teeth in K320E-Twinkle Epi mice.

In this study, YK11 was found to promote osteoblast cell proliferation and differentiation through activation of non-genomic signaling pathways in mouse osteoblast cells.

This study found that girls with isolated premature thelarche, confirmed by GnRH stimulation test, aged 4-8 years, may have significantly advanced bone age, with obesity and serum IGF-1 and DHEAS levels being key risk factors.

This study reports that KRTAP-like proteins, which resemble keratin-associated proteins found in mammals, are also present in the cornified teeth of various lamprey species, suggesting these proteins may serve similar functions in skin appendages across different vertebrates despite independent evolutionary origins.

This study suggests that Rushton’s hyaline bodies form through both epithelial changes leading to hair keratin production and hemorrhage supplying erythrocytic substances, resolving previous debates about their origin.

This study observed increased metallothionein expression in regenerating liver and hyperplastic mouse skin, suggesting a potential role in cellular proliferation and differentiation.

This review discusses five potential mechanisms for kidney stone formation, including urinary supersaturation, Randall's plaques, sex hormones, the microbiome, and immune responses, and reports no new results.

This review discusses multiple physiological roles of parathyroid hormone-related protein, such as cartilage mineralization and hair follicle regulation, and reports no new experimental results.

In Arabidopsis thaliana, this study found that proper O-glycosylation of extensins is crucial for root hair elongation and self-assembly of the cell wall.

In this study, personalized treatment of folic acid and vitamin E deficiencies improved hair parameters in AGA patients, while Se supplementation might be unnecessary.

This study examined the relationship between environmental factors and androgenic alopecia among residents in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, finding significant correlations between the concentration of chemical elements in hair and consumption of grain products, but minimal correlation with soil trace elements.

The researchers reported that the novel MBTPS2 variant p.Glu172Asp found in a male proband is likely pathogenic, consistent with osteogenesis imperfecta symptoms and molecular signatures, including disrupted fatty acid metabolism and collagen production.

This study found that during amelogenesis in Msx2 null mice, a dysfunctional enamel organ developed due to abnormal epithelial transformation and lacked proper enamel formation.

This study found that zebrafish and sticklebacks, despite differences in their tooth regeneration structures, share a similar genetic program during tooth regeneration, suggesting a conserved "successional dental epithelium" in vertebrates.

This study found that women with diffuse alopecia exhibited deficiencies in several trace elements, including sulfur, iron, and potassium, while men showed deficiencies in calcium, sulfur, and zinc.

Hair proteins change location and structure as hair cells mature.

This study observed that aluminum inhibits root hair growth in Limnobium stoloniferum, potentially by blocking calcium influx, although growth inhibition was also present at lower aluminum concentrations without affecting calcium flux.

This study found that the main structural proteins of tree frog toe pads, which aid in their adhesive properties, are alpha keratins that have evolutionary origins in early tetrapods.

FOL-005 peptide may help treat excessive hair growth safely.

This review discusses the structure and assembly of the cornified cell envelope in stratified squamous epithelial cells and various disorders leading to barrier defects, but reports no new findings.

This study found that in Arabidopsis thaliana, the interaction between extracellular leucine-rich repeat extensins and the receptor-like kinase FERONIA helps control vacuolar expansion, crucial for cellular elongation.
