This case report documents the first known instance of an ectopic sebaceous gland and duct within a hair follicle in a 21-year-old male with persistent acneiform eruption.

The side gland of Suncus murinus is a good model for studying human sebaceous glands.

This study reviews the structural and functional aspects of cell-cell and cell-matrix junctions in sebocytes, emphasizing their roles in sebocyte differentiation and sebum secretion, and how these processes may change in pathological conditions, potentially providing insights for new skin disease therapies.

This study found that phosphorylated VEGFR-2 is present in human scalp epidermal appendages and suggests it plays a role in their daily regulation.

This study found that prolonged inhibition of DGAT1 in mice and dogs led to atrophy of sebaceous glands, with mice also experiencing alopecia, suggesting potential skin-related risks for humans using DGAT1 inhibitors.

This paper reports a case of sebaceous carcinoma developing at the site of chronic candidiasis in a patient with keratitis–ichthyosis–deafness syndrome, without presenting new generalizable findings.

A new EDA gene mutation was found in a Chinese family with a specific skin disorder.

This case report documents the diagnosis and successful treatment of sebaceous adenitis in a cat with ciclosporin and emollients, noting substantial clinical improvement in the animal.

This study demonstrates that Puerariae Lobatae Radix may regulate skin lipid metabolism by inhibiting sebaceous gland growth and reducing triglyceride secretion, highlighting its therapeutic potential for sebaceous gland-related conditions.

Sebaceous gland maturity and size differ between psoriatic alopecia and alopecia areata.

This study found that sebaceous glands in the skin are primarily renewed by their own stem cells during normal conditions, but after injury, they regenerate through stem cells from hair follicles, highlighting stem cell plasticity and regeneration capabilities.

This study reported that imaging characteristics of sebaceous nevus vary significantly by age group, revealing dynamic developmental changes that can be effectively identified through dermoscopy and reflectance confocal microscopy, offering noninvasive diagnostic potential.

This study describes three adult dogs with sebaceous gland dysplasia, reporting that two showed moderate to marked improvement in symptoms with treatment, though ongoing management is required as the condition cannot be cured.

This study reports the first documented case of sweat hypersensitivity and progressive sebaceous adenitis in a horse, highlighting the potential for sweat-induced urticaria when exercising or under sedation.

The Naked gene in mice causes abnormal sebaceous glands and disrupts hair follicle organization.

This study reveals that the microRNA-200 family, highly enriched in hair matrix progenitors, restricts sebaceous gland development by inhibiting the SOX9-dependent lipogenic program, highlighting its specific role in epithelial plasticity within hair follicles.

In this study, isotretinoin treatment significantly increased p53 expression in the skin of acne vulgaris patients, correlating with reduced acne severity and suggesting mechanisms for sebum suppression and side effects.

This study observed that sebaceous glands were preserved in some patients with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, suggesting early gland loss may not be a key feature of the condition.

In this study, OEA was found to significantly enhance sebaceous lipogenesis and potentially reduce inflammation in human sebocytes, suggesting it as a promising candidate for treating skin dryness.

In this study, topical dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) doubled sebum production in women without systemic side effects, suggesting it may be a safe treatment for reduced sebum output related to menopause.

This review identifies sebaceous gland disorders as key indicators of hormonal imbalances, detailing how various hormones affect sebaceous function, and emphasizes a multidisciplinary approach to improve diagnosis and management by integrating endocrine, metabolic, and dermatologic insights.

In this study, researchers observed that TCDD exposure in mice enhanced sebaceous gland differentiation and lipid production before causing seboatrophy, providing insights into the cellular events that may contribute to chloracne pathogenesis.

This study found that androgen inactivation pathways in scalp sebaceous glands change with age, specifically noting that AKR1C expression, including AKR1C4 previously thought liver-specific, declines with age and is sex dependent, which could impact hair follicle health during aging.

This research reported that AKR1C enzyme expression, particularly AKR1C4, in scalp sebaceous glands decreases with age, suggesting potential age-related changes in androgen metabolism affecting hair follicle health. Additionally, sulforaphane treatment increased AKR1C expression in related cell types.

In this study, researchers found that androgen receptor expression and AKR1C-mediated androgen inactivation, including AKR1C4, are prominent in scalp sebaceous glands, with AKR1C expression decreasing with age and differing by sex, suggesting these changes may impact hair follicle health as people age.

In this study, Lrig1-positive stem cells in mouse hair follicles were found to be essential for sebaceous gland formation and maintenance, with their depletion causing a temporary loss of these glands and changes in cellular differentiation.

In this study, researchers found that patients with non-scar alopecia exhibited thinner hair sacs and root sheaths compared to a control group, with significant thinning observed in cases of alopecia areata.

This study highlights the positive roles of sebaceous glands in skin health, including lubrication of hair follicles, delivery of antimicrobial lipids and vitamin E, and involvement in vitamin D conversion, contrasting their traditional association with skin conditions like acne.

This study found that specific TRPM5 modulators are unlikely to directly affect sebaceous glands, but safe TPPO analogues may provide moderate lipogenic and anti-inflammatory effects beneficial for dry skin conditions.

In this histopathology study of nevus sebaceus, researchers observed distinct epidermal, sebaceous, follicular, and apocrine changes, including sebaceous hyperplasia and basaloid adnexal proliferation, which help differentiate it from similar conditions like basal cell carcinoma and trichoblastoma.
