In this study, researchers reported that the Pinkie mutation in mice, affecting RXRa activity, leads to skewed Th1 development and suggests RXRa's role in Th2 differentiation, impacting immune responses.

This study found that RXR and RAR proteins were detectable in normal human skin, suggesting they may play a role in epidermal cell differentiation and hair and gland physiology.

This study found that using a Picosecond IR Laser (PIRL) on mouse skin led to less tissue damage and scarring compared to conventional surgical lasers and tools.

This study found that patients with severe alopecia areata are willing to accept increased risks of serious infection, cancer, and blood clots when opting for a higher dose of ritlecitinib, valuing the potential for greater hair regrowth efficacy compared to a lower dose.

Reflectance confocal microscopy is a useful, non-invasive tool for diagnosing some skin diseases, with potential for future improvements.

Ritlecitinib may help treat alopecia areata by protecting hair follicles.

This study identified a mutation in the keratin 71 gene that causes curly hair in certain rats, advancing our understanding of hair formation.

This study found that fractional bipolar RF energy significantly reduced acne scar severity and improved skin texture, with high subject satisfaction and limited side effects.

This study found that loss of the folliculin protein delays transferrin receptor recycling, leading to iron deficiency and suggesting a role in the mechanisms of Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome.

In this Italian retrospective study, ritlecitinib 50 mg/day showed effectiveness and good tolerability for treating severe alopecia areata over 24 weeks, achieving significant hair regrowth particularly in adolescents, as well as improvements in eyebrows, eyelashes, nails, and quality of life, with mostly mild adverse effects.

This study found that the loss of a functional hr gene in mice leads to premature and abnormal hair follicle regression, disrupting normal hair cycling and architecture.

In this study, the researchers developed an in vitro model that maintains human hair follicles to grow at in vivo rates and observed that factors like EGF and IGF-I influence hair follicle growth and catagen entry.

This study suggests that a novel micropatterned dermal–epidermal matrix (μDERM) enhances keratinocyte function and epidermal morphology, offering potential improvements in skin substitute design for wound healing applications.

This review highlights advancements in electrospun nanofibers, focusing on their potential applications in biomedical technologies, chemical and biological sensing, and energy harvesting within IoT devices.

This review discusses the role of Nrf2 in hearing loss and its potential as a target for developing hearing protection drugs, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that a lentiviral array of reporters can identify lineage-specific promoters and pathways in mesenchymal stem cell differentiation, aiding in the prediction of signaling pathway effects.

This study reviews how advancements in nanotechnology have improved food safety, nutrition delivery, and health interventions, but it also highlights the need for more research into safety evaluations and regulatory concerns.

This study found that mesenchymal stem cells from chronically inflamed human livers maintain their key cellular characteristics, supporting their potential use in developing liver cell therapies.
