This review discusses the role of corticotropin-releasing hormone in human skin, focusing on its regulation, receptors, and functions, and highlights parallels with the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis; it reports no new research findings.

This study found that increased intracellular expression of thymosin β4 is necessary and sufficient to induce PAI-1 gene expression in endothelial cells, potentially mediated through Ku80 as a novel receptor.

In this study, dutasteride more effectively reduced prostate cancer cell viability than finasteride in vitro, but did not significantly alter the angiogenic response.

In this study, researchers developed a method to efficiently derive contractile smooth muscle cells from human hair follicle stem cells using TGF-β1 and PDGF-BB, which may advance vascular tissue engineering.

This study observed that transgenic mice expressing keratin K10 under bovine K6beta control developed severe oral abnormalities, suggesting keratin composition changes can affect the physiology of epithelial cells, especially in the oral mucosa.

In this study, researchers found that syntaxin 9, a novel syntaxin family member, interacts specifically with the epidermal growth factor receptor and may influence its transport and signaling in some epithelial cells.

This study found that astrotactin-2 undergoes unique intramembrane proteolysis during maturation, revealing specific transmembrane topologies and substrate sequence requirements for cleavage.

This study reports that some human cell surface HLA-I molecules (including HLA-B27) can appear without their usual peptide component, potentially altering immune interactions, influencing arthritis development in specific mice models, and exhibiting upregulation in certain cancer cells.

This study found that genetic variants in the goat KRTAP22-2 gene are associated with the mean fiber diameter of cashmere in Longdong Cashmere goats, suggesting these variants could serve as molecular markers for improving cashmere traits.

This study evaluated a hair mask containing rice germ oil GX-N and ferulic acid on damaged hair and found that rice germ oil GX-N improved hair characteristics after bleaching, UV, and heat exposure, but adding ferulic acid did not provide extra benefits.

This study found that novel thiol-reactive cross-linking agents, particularly APA, significantly improved the tensile strength and elasticity of human hair fibers by effectively regenerating disulfide bridges, with potential applications for advanced hair repair treatments in the cosmetic industry.

This review highlights that alopecia areata is influenced by genetic, autoimmune, and environmental factors, with emerging treatments like JAK-2 inhibitors showing promise for severe cases.

This study found that the PLEE method increased hair protein extraction efficiency threefold and that bleaching hair reduced the coverage of keratin and associated proteins, leading to poorer hair quality, though it did not affect the overall protein identification.

This study found that endogenous activin plays a crucial role in wound healing and scar formation, as its inhibition led to delayed wound healing and reduced scar size in transgenic mice.

This article reviews the potential and current applications of adult oral stem cells in regenerative medicine, highlighting promising animal model results but noting that few human clinical trials have yet been conducted.

This study observed that PAI-2 is consistently expressed in differentiating cells of murine hair and nail, suggesting it may function as a marker of differentiation and possibly protect against premature cell death.

ZPK helps skin cells mature and may affect skin health.

This study found that bikunin is expressed in human keratinocytes and may play a role in regulating keratinocyte function during mitosis or inflammation.

This study found that oil body bound oleosin-rhFGF9 expressed in safflower seeds stimulated hair growth and enhanced wound healing in mice by possibly up-regulating β-catenin expression.

In this study, researchers created the WRAHPS Guidelines to standardize the reporting of preclinical wound healing studies, aiming to improve transparency, enable comparative analysis, and support the development of human clinical trials for wound healing disorders.

This paper critically reviews recent advances in the use of keratin-based biomaterials, highlighting their potential applications in wound healing, drug delivery, and tissue regeneration due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and ability to support cell growth.

This study found that multifunctional peptide-based materials derived from Crassostrea gigas may promote scarless dermal wound healing without affecting intestinal flora through both topical and oral administration.

This article describes a procedure involving skin marking, tumescent anesthesia, and micrograft mobilization, but does not present any study findings or results.

This review discusses recent advancements in responsive-hydrogel dressings for diabetic wound healing, highlighting their design, responsiveness, and degradation behavior, and evaluating their potential advantages and limitations in clinical applications.

This review discusses recent advances in understanding and treating alopecia areata, emphasizing the ongoing challenges and unmet needs in disease management; it reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, researchers developed a collagen and bacterial cellulose-based dressing loaded with bacitracin, which exhibited enhanced antibacterial activity, improved wound healing, and reduced inflammation in a murine infected-wound model, suggesting its potential for clinical use in treating infected wounds.

This study found that laccase-assisted grafting of poly(tyrosine) onto wool materials improved shrinkage resistance and mechanical properties while causing minor decreases in crystallinity and thermal resistance, suggesting a potential "green" approach to enhance wool durability.

This study found that D-peptide crosslinked MAP hydrogel accelerated material degradation in vivo but significantly enhanced skin regeneration, suggesting an adaptive immune response can drive regenerative healing even with rapid scaffold breakdown.

This article reviews the literature on the off-label use of botulinum toxin for dermatological conditions, highlighting its potential effectiveness in treating rosacea, anal fissures, Raynaud phenomenon, hypertrophic scars, keloids, and hidradenitis suppurativa.

This study reports the first keratin gene mutation affecting the tail domain, leading to a unique cytoskeletal abnormality and severe epidermal hyperkeratosis, highlighting the tail domain's critical role in keratin organization.
