This review highlights that surface mechanical regulation can program macrophage behavior through specific mechanical cues on material surfaces, potentially advancing immunotherapies and regenerative medicine by enabling precise control over macrophage functions.

In this study, Dodatek A operationalizes the Functional Androgen Axis framework by defining three system-level indices and an efficiency metric to describe androgen function, incorporating key methodological improvements and acknowledging significant limitations for future empirical validation.

This research presents the Dodatek A model, elaborating on androgen function through new mathematical indices and methodological improvements, shifting focus from serum hormone concentrations to system interactions to better describe androgen activity comprehensively.

In this study, researchers identified a recurrent MBTPS2 splice-site variant as a mutational hotspot in IFAP syndrome across diverse families, with phenotype severity suggesting the influence of additional modifiers.

This research observed that hairless guinea pig dermal fibroblasts were more sensitive to a toxic exposure than human dermal fibroblasts, suggesting that guinea pigs might serve as an intermediate model for translating in vitro findings to whole organisms.

This study investigated a Labrador Retriever with paw pad hyperkeratosis and identified a unique de novo heterozygous missense variant in the GJB6 gene, suggesting its potential role in the condition, analogous to Clouston syndrome in humans, although differences between species may provide further insights.

This research observed that, in domestic cats like Maine Coon and Rex breeds, a "piebald" coat color pattern is likely influenced by the Silver locus, although the specific mutations involved are yet to be published.

Three molecular subtypes of advanced skin T-cell lymphoma were identified, with potential biomarkers for predicting treatment response and disease progression.

This review found that while elevated DHEA levels are observed in some women with PCOS, especially those with hyperandrogenism, inconsistencies across studies suggest that standardized measurement and analyses are needed to clarify DHEA's role as a biomarker and factor in PCOS pathophysiology.

Pallister-Killian Syndrome is a complex genetic disorder requiring coordinated care and genetic counseling.

This review discusses central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, its similarities to lichen planopilaris, and emphasizes the need for further research due to its underdiagnosis and impact on African-descended women.

This study used whole-genome resequencing to analyze genetic diversity and selection in 17 rabbit breeds, identifying genes linked to traits like coat color and body size, which could inform breeding and conservation efforts.

In this case report, the authors describe a child and his mother with a heterozygous STING variant linked to SAVI, who exhibited atypical disease courses and varying organ involvement, underlining the diverse clinical manifestations of SAVI.

In this study, researchers developed a novel computational framework using deep reinforcement learning to identify strategies for cellular reprogramming in gene regulatory networks, showing its effectiveness in a model of immune response against infection.

In this study, researchers observed that twins with a novel de novo nonsense variant in HRAS exhibited distinctive features, including neuropsychiatric symptoms, potentially indicating a wider clinical spectrum for conditions known as RASopathies.

In this case report, a 45-year-old Jordanian woman was diagnosed with Clouston syndrome, an autosomal-dominant disorder characterized by alopecia and nail dystrophy due to a mutation in the GJB6 gene, though she lacked the typical palmoplantar keratoderma.

This study presents a new long-term 3D skin model using cells from mature donor skin, showing significant features of skin aging, such as decreased cellular proliferation and hyaluronan content.

This study found that anovulatory PCOS patients were younger, had longer menstrual cycles, and higher systolic blood pressures compared to ovulatory patients.

This case study describes the diagnosis and treatment of a Japanese girl with non-classical 21-hydroxylase deficiency, highlighting the normalization of testosterone and control of clitoromegaly after hydrocortisone therapy, but continued overgrowth issues.

This study found that the Arabidopsis cation chloride cotransporter CCC1 is critical for regulating pH in the trans-Golgi network/early endosome, impacting plant growth and stress response.

This report describes a child and his father with hereditary hypotrichosis simplex, an uncommon isolated form of hair loss, with no other ectodermal or systemic abnormalities noted.

This pilot study employed in-vivo multiphoton microscopy to visualize pigment-producing melanocytes in vitiligo patients, aiming to enhance understanding of treatment impacts and potentially improve transplantation therapies.

This study found that the wild-derived mouse strain Mus pahari has fragile skin that separates at subdermal levels under moderate force, potentially due to altered extracellular matrix development.

This study concludes that dietary L-serine supplementation shows promise as a long-term therapy for hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type 1, reducing neurotoxic 1-deoxysphingolipid levels and improving symptoms in severe cases.

This study reported that MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry profiling demonstrated nearly 100% sensitivity and specificity in detecting adenomyosis and leiomyoma, revealing potential peptide markers for these conditions.

This article reviews keratin disorders and highlights recent progress in therapeutic approaches, including a clinical trial for pachyonychia congenita using siRNA, but reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, rat primary thymic epithelial cells demonstrated a clonogenic growth pattern in vitro and were able to integrate into functional thymus or differentiate into skin derivatives, similar to skin multipotent stem cells.

This case report describes a rare occurrence of ectodermal dysplasia features in a 14-year-old with MBTPS1 gene variants, expanding the known spectrum of related disorders.

This paper discusses the relationship between androgenetic alopecia and cardiovascular atherosclerosis, focusing on carotid intima-media thickness and the SYNTAX score, and reports no new results.

Severe hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) is linked to higher risk of heart disease (cardiovascular atherosclerosis).
