In this study, researchers found that the matriptase-HGF-c-MET pathway may be activated in proliferative cells of human hair follicles and sebaceous glands, suggesting a potential role in hair growth regulation.

This study found that mouse and human protransglutaminase 3 enzymes require calcium-regulated activation for their role in later stages of cell envelope formation in the epidermis and hair follicle.

This study found that overexpression of sPLA2-X in mice was associated with alopecia and hair follicle abnormalities, highlighting its potential role in hair follicle homeostasis.

This study suggests that UMPP activation is a key signaling pathway in differentiating primary and secondary hair follicles in cashmere goats.

This review highlights the role of matriptase in epithelial differentiation and cancer, noting that unregulated matriptase expression can enhance cancer progression in animal models, but reports no new experimental data.

This review discusses the roles of human tissue kallikreins in skin physiology and pathology and reports no new findings, emphasizing their potential involvement in various skin functions and conditions.

This study reports that human epidermal transglutaminase activity increases with treatment using organic solvents and chemicals without significant molecular weight changes, which may allow modulation of the enzyme in skin diseases.

This review discusses the role of the hedgehog signaling pathway in hematological cancers and its potential as a therapeutic target; it reports no new clinical findings.

This study observed that in hormone-starved prostate cancer cells, the androgen 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone rapidly induces matriptase activation and shedding, which involves androgen receptor signaling and requires both transcription and protein synthesis.

This research found that Foxc1 transcription factor and COL17A1 are critical in regulating quiescence and hair thinning in hair follicle stem cells, with aging-related DNA damage leading to hair loss.

This study found that women with PCOS had significantly elevated plasma levels of PAI-1, which correlated with insulin resistance and obesity.

This study reviewed the role of inflammasomes in autoimmune skin diseases, highlighting their contribution to the pathogenesis of conditions such as vitiligo, alopecia areata, and psoriasis, and suggesting that targeting inflammasome dysregulation may offer new therapeutic options.

This study found that the JMJD3/NF-κB-Notch1 pathway plays a crucial role in regulating keratinocyte migration and skin wound healing, with Notch1 affecting key genes involved in cell migration.

This study found that trans-3,4'-Dimethyl-3-hydroxyflavanone reduces active TGF-beta2 levels in human keratinocytes, suggesting it may enhance hair growth by suppressing the TGF-beta2 activation pathway.

This study found that matriptase, a membrane serine protease, is crucial for maintaining multiple types of epithelial tissues in mice, with its absence leading to severe organ dysfunction and increased permeability.

This review discusses the processes of melanocyte stem cell quiescence and activation, focusing on their interaction with hair follicle stem cells, and highlights current research on hair graying mechanisms; it reports no new results.

This study shows that macrophage-induced TNF signaling can activate hair follicle stem cells and promote new hair follicle formation after wounding by regulating AKT/β-catenin pathways.

This study found that cyclosporin A treatment enhances hair growth in mice by inhibiting calcineurin-NFAT1 activity, which alters keratinocyte differentiation and apoptosis-related gene expression in hair follicles.

This study found that intrauterine administration of botulinum toxin A improved endometrial environment and receptivity in a murine model of thin endometrium through mechanisms involving IGFBP3 and osteopontin.

This study suggests that miRNAs, particularly miR-195-5p, may regulate the loss of hair follicle inductivity in cultured dermal papilla cells by suppressing the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

PRP preparation partially activates platelets, causing varied growth factor release.

This study indicates that reduced activity of the matriptase-prostasin proteolytic cascade is likely the cause of human autosomal recessive ichthyosis with hypotrichosis, as demonstrated using a novel mouse model.

This study found that neonatal mice without the urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) gene had reduced epidermal proliferation rates, suggesting uPA's involvement in promoting keratinocyte proliferation.

In this study, oil body-bound oleosin-rhFGF-10 was more efficiently absorbed through the skin and enhanced wound healing and hair growth in mice, compared to prokaryotically-expressed rhFGF-10.

This study identified intramembrane proteolysis as a key feature of Astrotactin2 maturation, providing insights into its role in planar cell polarity hair patterning.

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 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.
