This review explores whether SARS-CoV-2 could trigger or worsen α-synucleinopathies, like Parkinson's disease, by affecting α-synuclein misfolding and aggregation, potentially linking COVID-19 with the development of parkinsonism-like symptoms.

This review highlights that gut dysbiosis and bacterial extracellular vesicles are key factors in PCOS pathophysiology, and suggests AI-driven analysis of these profiles could enhance diagnostic accuracy and treatment personalization, though ethical concerns like data privacy and bias must be considered.

This review discusses the effects of chemical hair straighteners and reports associated side effects like scalp inflammation and hair damage, noting the variability of findings and the need for further research.

In this study, researchers found that miR-199a-3p plays a regulatory role in hair follicle development via the PTPRF/β-catenin axis and established a mouse model of alopecia areata by downregulating this small RNA, suggesting its potential value in studying alopecia diseases.

This study found that in stretch-mediated tissue expansion, fibroblasts adopt an embryonic-like, low-collagen state that enhances epidermal stem cell renewal, supporting coordinated skin expansion crucial for reconstructive surgeries.

This study introduces a novel holistic treatment approach for keloid that combines systemic therapies, including Traditional Chinese Medicine, with local interventions to target the inflammatory microenvironment and keloid predisposition for improved management and prevention of recurrence.

In this study, the novel thiol-Michael click perming molecule, MA2-CySS, achieved repeatable perming with reduced oxidative damage, preserving hair keratin's structure while maintaining efficiency comparable to traditional oxidative methods.

In this study, researchers identified S100a4 as a critical regulator of secondary hair follicle stem cells in cashmere goats, linking its expression to follicle regeneration and differentiation pathways, which may have implications for enhancing cashmere fiber production.

This review describes bioengineering strategies to mimic the natural cell microenvironment in vitro, emphasizing the novel approach of using cell-synthesized extracellular matrix as a scaffold for engineering functional 3D tissues, while highlighting the limitations of exogenous scaffolds in tissue engineering.

In this study conducted at Al-Azhar University Hospital, 60% of patients with localized alopecia areata responded to treatment with autologous platelet-rich plasma, with 89% of responders showing substantial improvement, suggesting PRP as an effective treatment option for this condition.

Vertebrate skin evolved to be more specialized and complex, especially in land animals.

This study observed that both ritlecitinib and brepocitinib improved scalp biomarkers in patients with alopecia areata, with associations to hair regrowth seen in this phase 2a trial.

In this study, researchers using QM/MM simulations identified key molecular motions and residue interactions in the enzyme SRD5A2 that significantly influence its catalytic efficiency, demonstrating that specific residues play critical roles in stabilizing transition states and reducing activation barriers.

This study found that prolonged intermittent fasting in diet-induced obese mice led to increased levels of inositol monophosphates in white adipose tissue, improved insulin sensitivity, and reduced body weight and fat mass, suggesting a novel metabolic adaptation mechanism.

This study found that in cashmere goats, melatonin treatments enhanced cashmere growth by stimulating secondary hair follicles, increasing follicle density, and improving yield and quality, highlighting key genes and metabolic pathways involved in this process.

This study reviews the role of skin stem cells in aging and explores how organoids, as opposed to traditional methods, can advance research into aging skin and regenerative therapies.

This review highlights that skin organoids, advanced three-dimensional models mimicking human skin, are emerging as effective alternatives to traditional culture models and human skin, overcoming limitations of two-dimensional systems and ethical concerns, and are being increasingly used in areas like developmental biology and disease modeling.

This review discusses the diverse functions and therapeutic potential of ectopic olfactory receptors throughout the body, emphasizing their roles in various cellular processes and potential in cancer detection and therapy, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the mechanisms behind alopecia areata and primary cicatricial alopecia and reports no new clinical results, aiming to guide the development of targeted treatments.

This study demonstrated that human hair shafts can inhibit the growth of Gram-positive bacteria but have no effect on Gram-negative bacterial growth, offering insights into hair and scalp health.

This study found that specific gene upregulations and mutations in hidradenitis suppurativa skin support the role of inflammation, altered epithelial differentiation, and metabolism dysregulation in the disease's pathogenesis.
