This study found that finasteride treatment in males with androgenetic alopecia was linked to significant changes in sperm parameters and increased testosterone levels, but no sexual dysfunction was observed, and sperm parameters returned to baseline after treatment stopped.

This study found a significant reduction in the number and size of sebaceous glands in psoriatic skin lesions, indicating potential involvement in psoriatic alopecia.

This study found that follicular acantholysis is a common histopathological feature in pemphigus, with differences in depth between pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus lesions that may aid in diagnosis.

This study found that TGF-β1 expression in follicular tumors correlates with differentiation degree and suggests its potential role alongside p63 in differentiating between sebaceous and follicular tumors.

This study found that African and Caucasian hair contain the most lipids, and depletion of these lipids leads to less water retention and increased water desorption, with Caucasian hair showing improved breaking tenacity after lipid extraction.

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.

This study suggests that high proliferative activity and peripheral invasion are key indicators of malignancy in canine sebaceous gland tumours. It also reports a higher incidence of circumanal gland and testicular tumours, indicating a possible androgen-related pathway in tumour development.

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.

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

In this murine study, researchers found that topical treatment with Philippine stingless bee propolis increased folliculogenesis, epidermal thickness, and melanogenesis, but not hair length, potentially supporting hair follicle regeneration and melanocyte function in chemotherapy-induced alopecia models.

This case study from Ukraine describes a 5-year-old Akita dog diagnosed with sebaceous adenitis, presenting with pruritus, alopecia, and inflammation; treatment over 30 days led to complete restoration of affected areas, implicating potential heritability in Akitas.

The authors concluded that Lrig1-positive stem cells are essential for sebaceous gland formation in mice, as their ablation led to temporary sebaceous gland disappearance without affecting hair growth.

This review discusses recent advancements in hair follicle regeneration technologies, including the authors' own development of functional hair regeneration through bioengineered follicle germ transplantation, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the role of acyl-CoA binding protein (ACBP) in the epidermal barrier, noting that its disruption in mice is linked to skin and fur abnormalities; it reports no new clinical results.

This review summarizes how genetic studies using conditional β-catenin loss- and gain-of-function mice have advanced understanding of canonical Wnt signaling's role in embryonic development, adult stem cell maintenance, and cancer modeling.

The human hair follicle can store topical compounds and be targeted for drug delivery with minimal side effects.

This study demonstrated that dominant mutations in mouse gasdermin A3 disrupt mitochondrial oxidative stress regulation, suggesting a gain-of-function effect on epidermal differentiation.

This review discusses the unique features of dermal white adipose tissue, its interaction with hair follicles, and its role in skin physiology, reporting no new experimental findings.

This study explored the complex roles of niche cells in regulating hair follicle stem cells, identifying specific cell functions such as signaling, sensing, and relaying messages, which could provide insights into treating hair loss conditions like androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata.

This review discusses advances and challenges in skin tissue engineering, focusing on developing 3D constructs for functional skin substitutes, and reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the negative health impacts of testosterone deficiency and the potential adverse effects of 5α-reductase inhibitors, emphasizing the need for patient-physician discussions regarding these treatments.

This study found that while isotretinoin lowered levels of female hormones in patients with severe acne, it did not significantly impact ovarian reserve function.

This review outlines the development and functional requirements of modern wound dressing materials and describes preparation methods and product performance, but reports no new clinical findings.

The researchers observed that normal murine hair follicles are direct targets for melatonin, with receptor expression varying throughout the hair cycle, suggesting melatonin's role in hair cycle control.

In this review, researchers discussed recent insights into caspases, enzymes initially associated with cell death and inflammation, revealing their broader roles in cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation, and highlighting the importance of caspase knock-out mice for understanding their implications in diseases.

This review describes recent advances in regenerating functional 3D organs from stem cells, particularly ectodermal organs, but reports no new clinical findings and highlights future research directions for organ replacement therapy.

This article describes a protocol for using bioengineered techniques to regenerate functional hair follicles and their stem cell niches by manipulating epithelial and mesenchymal cells.

This article reviews the role of KLF4, a transcription factor, in various cellular processes and its dual function as a tumor suppressor or oncogene depending on the context, but presents no new experimental results.

This article reviews the occurrence of ectopic sebaceous glands in hair follicle matrix during hair embryogenesis and reports no new clinical results, indicating unknown pathogenesis and clinical implications.
