This study reported that disrupting ephrin-Eph interactions in adult mouse skin doubled cell proliferation in the hair follicle and epidermis, suggesting ephrins as negative regulators of proliferation.

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 found that in androgenetic alopecia, reduced stem cell factor production by dermal papilla cells may lead to decreased pigmentation in hair follicles.

This review discusses the role of complement activation in SLE and suggests that while monitoring C3 and C4 remains important, increased levels of cell-bound complement activation products may better indicate disease activity.

This study found that Schistosoma mansoni cercariae stimulate epidermal keratinocytes in mice, initiating pro-inflammatory responses and barrier repair mechanisms akin to those in wound healing.

This review suggests that skin may largely protect itself from CYP-generated reactive metabolites due to higher conjugating enzyme activities, while highlighting limitations in modeling human skin metabolism experimentally.

This review explores the infundibulum's role and importance in skin diseases and emphasizes the need for further research into its biology and potential therapeutic targeting, but it presents no new findings.

This study found that serum vaspin levels were elevated in women with polycystic ovary syndrome compared to controls, but treatment with metformin or weight loss did not significantly change these levels.

This discussion proposes a model to incorporate patients with hormone-resistant prostate cancer into the existing framework by redefining hormone resistance and exploring new therapeutic approaches.

This study demonstrates that exfoliative cutaneous lupus erythematosus in German short-haired pointers involves a cellular and humoral immune response against the epidermal basement membrane, with poor response to immunosuppressive therapy.

This review synthesizes recent findings on the hair follicle stem cell niche and its complex interactions, exploring potential pathways for developing new hair growth therapies; it reports no new clinical results.

This article discusses central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, highlighting its prevalence, potential genetic factors, and management challenges, but reports no new clinical conclusions and calls for further research.

This study found that among middle-aged Korean women, those with metabolic syndrome had a higher risk of androgenetic alopecia, while no significant association was observed in men.

This study discovered a novel interaction between the vitamin D receptor and LEF1, essential for normal Wnt signaling in keratinocytes, which is crucial for regular hair cycling.

This study reports that GLP-1 receptors and proglucagon are expressed in the skin of newborn mice, with GLP-1 potentially playing a role in skin development and hair follicle formation.

St. John's Wort can cause dangerous high blood pressure if taken with certain foods.

Toxic shock syndrome is caused by a complex interaction of bacterial toxins and the immune system, and understanding this can help improve diagnosis and treatment.

This review discusses the potential of organoids in modeling COVID-19 disease and developing therapies, without reporting new results, and highlights opportunities and challenges in their application for research.

This study suggests that the keratins found in reptile and bird skin appendages evolved independently from mammalian hair keratins, highlighting convergent evolution in these species.

This study found that Ldh activity in hair follicle stem cell-mediated squamous cell carcinoma is not necessary for tumorigenesis, as its modulation did not affect the cancer's development or characteristics.

This article reviews various hair abnormalities observable through trichoscopy in conditions like monilethrix, trichorrhexis nodosa, and ectodermal dysplasias, with no new clinical findings reported.

Bone-marrow and epidermal stem cells help heal wounds differently, with bone-marrow cells aiding in blood vessel formation and epidermal cells in hair growth.

This review addresses the role of skin-resident adult stem/progenitor cells in skin homeostasis, disease, and cancer development, and reports no new research results.

This study found that fibromodulin significantly reduces scar formation and boosts scar strength in rodent and porcine models, suggesting potential for FMOD-based therapies in cutaneous wound repair.

This research suggests that targeting the HIF-1α pathway via PHD inhibitors may enable regeneration similar to amphibians in mammals, potentially fast-tracking regenerative therapies from mice to humans.

This study reported that almost 25% of women with PCOS were diagnosed with NAFLD, and 32.7% to 44.6% had metabolic syndrome, with higher prevalence in those with both conditions.

This review synthesizes knowledge on Prostaglandin E2's role in platelet biology and suggests that targeting PGE2 pathways could lead to personalized antiplatelet therapy without affecting hemostasis, but it presents no new results.

This study found that deleting the CD98hc protein in mouse skin impairs wound healing and homeostasis, resembling aging effects, due to disrupted integrin signaling pathways.

This study found that in Arabidopsis seedlings, tonoplast intrinsic proteins are targeted to the vacuole via at least two pathways, including pathways with differing sensitivity to a chemical inhibitor that affect root hair growth and PIN2 targeting.

This study found that finasteride treatment decreased VEGF expression in the prostate tissue of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, although it did not affect vascular density or serum VEGF levels.
