This review discusses the evolving understanding of epithelial stem cells, noting how new models challenge old assumptions and suggesting multiple stem cell populations contribute differently to skin and hair follicle regeneration.

This study suggests that skin-derived precursors from Sox2(+) hair follicle dermal cells have the potential to function as dermal stem cells, supporting hair morphogenesis, dermal maintenance, and wound-healing.

This review discusses the diverse roles and characteristics of epidermal and dermal stem cells in skin regeneration and aging, highlighting their potential applications in regenerative medicine and reports no new clinical results.

This commentary explores the marketing of unproven and unlicensed adipose-derived stem cell treatments in US clinics, highlighting concerns about patient safety and regulatory challenges.

This paper explores how hair functions as a geographical lens to redefine the body's borders, influencing perceptions of identity and power.

This article reviews the biology of epithelial stem cells and their role in tissue self-renewal, maintenance, and regeneration, and it highlights the clinical implications of understanding their signaling pathways, but it presents no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the unique properties, design, and fabrication of peptide hydrogels for biomedical applications, focusing on advances in drug delivery, gene therapy, and regenerative medicine; it reports no new clinical results.

In this study, transgenic mice with Rank expression in hair follicles showed excessive lymph node growth, which could be normalized by neutralizing the overproduced RANKL, underscoring its role in immune system regulation.

The hydrogel helps heal diabetic wounds by combining antibacterial, antioxidant, and immune-boosting effects.

This review discusses scaffold materials and properties used in epidermal tissue engineering to promote skin regeneration and reports no new research findings.

This study found that hair follicle patterning in development may arise from a combination of epidermal prepattern signals and mesenchymal self-organisation, with fibroblast growth factor and bone morphogenetic protein activities playing key roles.

This study found that individual lifestyle factors, such as aesthetic, personality, and social orientations, positively influence appearance interest and beauty management behavior.

This study found that incorporating PCL-based nanoscaffolds into liver spheroids enhances their viability and liver-specific biofunctionality, suggesting these scaffolds improve the model's potential for preclinical drug screening by increasing sensitivity to acetaminophen toxicity compared to traditional methods.

This study reported that newly developed RADA16-I peptide hybrids, with active motifs like GHK and KGHK, demonstrated improved wound healing in a mouse skin injury model without cytotoxicity, suggesting they might be effective scaffolds for tissue engineering and regeneration.

This study found that OCT4-overexpressing human hair follicle mesenchymal stem cells show promise for artificial hematopoiesis by enhancing self-renewal through cytoskeletal remodeling and the beta-catenin-dependent adherens junction pathway.

In this study, researchers found that a scallop adhesive protein (Sbp9 Δ) forms strong adhesive coatings via disulfide-sticker strategies, which also promote hair regeneration in mouse models by activating Wnt signaling and enhancing angiogenesis, proving more effective than minoxidil for androgenetic alopecia.

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 review highlights potential therapeutic mechanisms of natural products for androgenetic alopecia, suggesting they may modulate signaling pathways and have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.

This study found that conditioned medium from keratinocytes improved the hair-inductive properties of cultured dermal papilla cells, suggesting potential for enhancing hair follicle regeneration.

In this study, researchers created nanowhiskers from crab shell-derived nanochitin that self-assembled into vibrant structural colors within a film. The material, sensitive to environmental changes, shows potential as a food freshness indicator and a sustainable dye for cosmetics due to chitin's biocompatibility.

This study reviewed research on the psychosocial effects of gender-affirming dermatology treatments in transgender populations, finding mostly positive associations but noting significant limitations and the need for more comprehensive studies to clearly understand these effects.

This review examines the complex mechanisms that regulate skin stem cell development, activation, and differentiation, emphasizing the molecular signaling pathways that influence their fate and contribute to skin homeostasis.

This article discusses the potential for rejuvenating self-repair mechanisms to enhance regenerative medicine, but reports no new empirical findings.

This study found that androgenetic alopecia negatively impacts the emotional and social well-being of Polish men, particularly younger individuals, with 66.7% reporting a significant effect on self-esteem.

This study observed that women with early-stage breast cancer often felt inadequately prepared for the discomfort and time commitments of scalp cooling during chemotherapy, leading to the development of patient-co-produced informational resources to better prepare them.

This study found that self-reported use of finasteride or oral contraceptives did not reduce the incidence of renal cancer in participants of the PCLO trial.

This study shows that alpha 6 + /MHCI - cells have gene expression profiles similar to hair follicle stem cells, suggesting they may be enriched for stem cells.

This review reports that transcriptional and epigenetic mechanisms in epithelial stem cells guide their fate in the epidermis and hair follicles, crucial for skin homeostasis, but disruptions can lead to disease.

This study reports that using nanogel and layer-by-layer self-assembly to encapsulate single dermal papilla cells can form cell spheroids that regenerate hair follicles successfully in a hair follicle regeneration model.
