The authors concluded that increased expression of the HSD11B1 gene in adipose tissue correlates with obesity markers and predicts insulin resistance, but this association is independent of polycystic ovary syndrome when adiposity is controlled for.

This study found that UVB radiation significantly alters miRNA expression and induces cytotoxicity and apoptosis in normal human dermal papilla cells.

This study identified differentially expressed mRNAs and lncRNAs in Hu sheep hair follicles, suggesting certain genes and pathways are involved in the development of wool curvature patterns.

This study found that fasting insulin levels are associated with increased cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

This study found that inhibiting AP1 transcription factor activity in the suprabasal epidermis of mice alters keratinocyte gene expression, reducing barrier integrity and mimicking human keratoderma.

This study found that 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D3 significantly increased the expression and activity of vasculoprotective natriuretic peptide receptor-A in cultured inner medullary collecting duct cells, suggesting a potential mechanistic role in cardiovascular and renal benefits.

In this study, researchers discovered that ROR2, a Wnt receptor, plays a crucial role in regulating hair follicle stem cell self-renewal and maintenance, compensating for the absence of β-catenin.

This review explores the role of neutrophil recruitment in the inflammation seen in hidradenitis suppurativa and emphasizes potential therapeutic targets within these pathways, but it reports no new clinical results.

In this study, cashmere goats engineered to overexpress the Tβ4 gene in hair follicles produced more cashmere, indicating that Tβ4 promotes secondary hair follicle development and enhances yield.

This study identified 77 genes with significant expression changes in expanded human skin, suggesting possible mechanisms for skin regeneration during tissue expansion, including previously unreported genes like HOXA5, HOXB2, and AP1.

This case report describes a functional adrenocortical oncocytoma that co-secreted testosterone and cortisol.

This review presents current evidence on medicinal plants and their phytoconstituents, such as phenolic compounds, used in acne treatment, highlighting their potential as alternatives to conventional therapies due to issues like antibiotic resistance and high cost.

This study successfully developed a method to measure four flavonoids from Platycladus orientalis leaves in rat plasma, which was used in a pharmacokinetic study on healthy rats.

This study found that Wnt ligands from CD133-positive dermal papilla cells are essential for maintaining hair growth by supporting cell signaling between different hair follicle structures.

This report advances the hypothesis that finasteride and dutasteride inhibit 5α-reductase activities, potentially altering steroid metabolism and increasing the risk of insulin resistance, diabetes, and vascular disease.

This study found that Centipeda minima extract promotes hair growth by activating Wnt/β-catenin, ERK, and JNK signaling pathways in human hair follicle dermal papilla cells.

This study found that activating CB1 receptor signaling in human hair follicles increased stem cell proliferation while reducing differentiated cell survival, suggesting CB1's role as a survival stimulus for epithelial stem cells.

This study found that ATM protein plays a crucial role in protecting human hair follicle melanocytes from oxidative stress, which is linked to the greying of hair.

This laboratory study found that activated platelet‐rich plasma supernatant enhanced hair growth signaling pathways in cultured human dermal papilla cells, suggesting potential for treating androgenic alopecia.

This study demonstrated that bioluminescence imaging of NG2+ cells in transgenic rats allows in vivo monitoring of hair follicle cycles to study hair growth and follicle regeneration.

In this animal study, cedrol treatment reduced chemotherapy-induced alopecia in mice by preventing hair follicle damage, while minoxidil did not prevent alopecia under similar conditions.

In this study, researchers found that ginsenoside Re from Panax ginseng increased hair shaft length and duration in mice, comparable to minoxidil, by modulating TGF-β signaling pathways.

This study found that keratins 5, 7, 8, and 19 are expressed in human trophoblast cells while vimentin is solely expressed in stromal-mesenchymal cells, aiding in placental cell type identification.

This study found that ranitidine and finasteride may have cardiovascular and renal protective effects in mice by inhibiting TMAO synthesis and improving gut microbiota composition.

This review discusses potential treatments for androgen excess in polycystic ovary syndrome and reports no new findings, emphasizing the importance of individualized antiandrogenic management to minimize side effects.

This study reviews recent advancements in understanding caspases, highlighting their roles beyond apoptosis in cancer, inflammation, and neurological disorders, and discusses the potential and challenges of targeting caspases for therapeutic purposes.

This review compiles data on how the apelinergic system may protect against heart damage caused by doxorubicin cancer treatment, suggesting its potential to mitigate cardiotoxicity, though further research in chronic models is needed to confirm these effects and mechanisms.

This study found that Pannexin 3 plays a crucial role in skin development by regulating the transcription factor Epiprofin, affecting keratinocyte differentiation and hair follicle regeneration in mice.

This study suggests that 3,4,5-tri-O-caffeoylquinic acid activates β-catenin to enhance pigmentation in mouse hair follicles, human melanocytes, and melanoma cells during the hair cycle's growth phase.

This review discusses how targeting TGF-β with specific inhibitors, including components from Traditional Chinese Medicine, may help reduce liver fibrosis by acting through various signaling pathways.
