This study found that back skin mesenchyme from mouse embryos can induce hair follicle formation even before dermal condensate formation, but R-spondin-1 alone or with a Bmp receptor inhibitor was not sufficient for hair follicle induction.

This study found that GLI2 plays a key role in activating follistatin, an activin/BMP antagonist, in response to hedgehog signaling in human epidermal cells, with implications for hair follicle development and basal cell carcinoma.

This study identified chemokine receptor ligands cxcl10 and cxcl11 as new hair-specific transcriptional targets of the Eda pathway, suggesting chemokine signaling plays a role in primary hair follicle patterning.

This review discusses the role of stem cell heterogeneity and compartmentalization within the epidermis and highlights their significance as niches for neighboring cells, without reporting new experimental results.

This study found that the enzyme A20 helps regulate EDAR-induced NF-κB signaling in mice, preventing ectodermal abnormalities like disheveled hair and assuring proper skin and appendage development.

This research reviews the roles of dermal papilla signaling in hair follicle development and suggests new genetic tools could advance bioengineering therapies for alopecia, but it reports no new results.

In a conditional knockout mouse model, this study found that loss of the transcription elongation factor SPT6 in basal keratinocytes led to psoriasis-like skin inflammation and delayed wound healing, suggesting SPT6 plays a crucial role in maintaining epidermal immune quiescence by suppressing proinflammatory NF-κB signaling.

This study found that ablation of Tet2/Tet3 genes in skin epithelial cells altered hair shape and length, leading to hair loss, by affecting chromatin accessibility and gene expression related to hair follicle regulation.

In this study, researchers reported that the activation of EDA2R by p53 leads to p53-dependent cell death in cancer cells and is involved in chemotherapy-induced hair loss.

This article reviews mammalian skin epidermis as a model for studying stem cell regulation, noting the utility of in vitro and ex vivo platforms, but it reports no new empirical findings.

In this mouse study, researchers found that dermal Wnt signaling/β-catenin activity is essential for fibroblast proliferation and initiating hair follicle formation by interacting with epidermal Wnt ligands.

This study found that Eda and activin A regulate Foxi3 expression, which may contribute to the development of hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia by affecting Foxi3 activity in ectodermal appendages like hair and teeth.

This article reviews the similarities in early development processes of hair follicles, teeth, and mammary glands and reports no new experimental findings.

This study found that the loss of Smad4 in keratinocytes reduces Dsg4 expression via disrupted BMP signaling, contributing to hair follicle degeneration and alopecia.

This mini-review discusses human hair follicle development and summarizes genetic disorders linked to abnormalities in hair follicle morphogenesis, structure, or regeneration, but reports no new experimental results.

In this research, the authors identify coordinated mechanical forces as crucial for hair follicle development in mammals, with contractile, proliferative, and proteolytic activities facilitating the formation and sectioning of epithelial structures crucial for forming a functional tissue.

This study found that zebrafish and stickleback fish use similar genetic programs for tooth regeneration, despite differences in their dental structures.

In this study, miR-218-5p was found to enhance hair shaft growth and positively regulate the Wnt signaling pathway by targeting SFRP2 during skin and hair follicle development.

This study reported that exogenous R-spondin-1 can restore hair follicle neogenesis in adult mouse cells, highlighting differences in gene expression and signaling pathways between fetal and adult dermal papilla cells.

This study found that specific gene expressions during different stages of hair follicle development in Merino sheep are linked to wool-related traits, and may also be relevant to human skin, metabolic, and immune traits.

In this study, researchers used single-cell RNA sequencing to map the hair follicle microenvironment in fine-wool sheep, identifying specific cell types and gene expressions that influence wool fiber diameter, with dermal papilla cells playing a significant role in hair follicle development.

This study found that MEIS2 expression in neural crest-derived cells is crucial for whisker and trigeminal nerve development in the mesenchyme, indicating an early role in epithelial placode formation and dermal condensation, independent of sensory innervation or Foxd1 expression.

In this study, researchers used transcriptomics and modeling to uncover previously unknown cell populations and marker genes in developing hair follicles, providing insights into early cell fate establishment and offering tools for further research on skin appendages.

In this study, researchers propose that different vertebrate skin appendages, such as hair, feathers, and scales, evolved in parallel from a shared ancestral cell structure associated with teeth, dating back approximately 420 million years ago.
