Slug (Snai2) helps regulate hair growth timing in mice.

This study explores the expression of Snail1 in the fibrotic dermis of postmenopausal women with frontal fibrosing alopecia, suggesting a possible link to epithelial-mesenchymal transition.

In this report, researchers highlighted the snail flap as a highly reliable and minimally invasive reconstructive technique that preserves hair and requires minimal hospitalization, making it suitable for elderly or frail patients with moderate scalp defects.

This study found that Punica granatum ethanolic leaf extract may alleviate skin fibrosis in rats by modulating inflammation-related pathways and reducing dermal alterations.

This source reported that the use of snail mucus secretions in skincare has historical roots and is increasingly accepted in modern markets due to potential antiaging effects such as promoting skin repair and reducing oxidative stress.

This research concluded that Snail2's absence in myeloid progenitors promotes tumor progression in mice, and specific zinc fingers are crucial for Snail1 and Snail2's roles in establishing epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition.

This study found that the Fibonacci 'snail' flap for scalp defect reconstruction healed faster and resulted in better aesthetic outcomes than skin grafts, though not all complication rate differences were statistically significant.

This study found that deleting Snai2 and Snai3 genes in mice disrupts immune cell development, resulting in severe autoimmunity and early death due to the loss of immune tolerance.

This review discusses the role of the Slug transcription factor in various epidermal functions and its distinction from the related Snail factor, without presenting new research findings.

This study found that glycyrrhizic acid significantly reduced stem cell characteristics of dermal papilla cells by down-regulating key signaling pathways, suggesting potential use in suppressing unwanted hair growth.

This study found that the natural extract e-CAF promotes the proliferation and migration of human hair dermal papilla cells in vitro, suggesting potential benefits for skin regeneration and tissue repair.

This study investigated bilayer wound dressings incorporating snail secretions into chitosan matrices, finding enhanced skin cell attachment, proliferation, and antimicrobial properties, suggesting potential for skin regeneration and wound healing.

This study found that a 5% concentration of snail mucus shampoo was most effective in promoting hair growth in rabbits compared to lower concentrations.

This study found that FAM19A5 acts as a negative regulator of wound healing by hindering keratinocyte migration and partially transitioning them between epithelial and mesenchymal states, suggesting that targeting the FAM19A5-PPARD-Snail axis could offer new therapeutic options for impaired wound repair.

This study found that chloroform extract of the onchidiid snail significantly promoted hair growth in male Wistar strain white rats, with a greater increase in hair length over 14 days compared to ethanol extract, candlenut oil, and untreated controls.

This study found that gels containing glycyrrhizic acid and aqueous Glycyrrhiza glabra extract significantly reduced underarm hair growth in terms of area, thickness, length, and number compared to their gel bases.

This study observed that tributyltin pollution induces imposex, reduces reproductive success, and leads to population decline in Ocinebrina aciculata, highlighting its sensitivity compared to other prosobranch species.

This review discusses the roles of key epithelial-mesenchymal transition factors and potential therapeutic opportunities involving cancer metabolic pathways, reporting no new clinical results.

In this study, using scRNA-seq, researchers detailed the gene expression and cell differentiation processes in goat fetal horn buds, identifying crucial roles for dermal and epithelial cells in horn initiation and highlighting potential genetic factors involved in horn morphogenesis.

This study found that arylsulfatase enzymes in hair follicles can convert the active form of minoxidil back to its inactive form, potentially affecting its effectiveness in treating androgenetic alopecia.

This study suggests that some keratin-associated proteins with antecedents found in non-haired animals may have roles beyond hair characteristics, possibly contributing to the evolution of hair follicles.

This collection of reviews, edited by Ken Lukowiak and Janis Weeks, explores diverse sensory systems across species, including olfaction, echolocation, magnetoreception, and visual adaptations, without presenting new experimental results.

This review discusses melanocyte development, emphasizing the plasticity of melanoblasts and the role of both intrinsic and extracellular signals in their differentiation and migration, with no new clinical results reported.

This study suggests that dermal stem/progenitor cells can be enriched by intracellular granularity and display high proliferation and differentiation potential in vitro, distinguishing them from other fibroblasts and progenitors.

This study found that human dermal stem/progenitor cells demonstrated greater proliferation and differentiation potential than hair follicle dermal papilla cells, which showed increased expression of hair regeneration markers.

This study found that while autonomous Sema3A expression limited keratinocyte migration and delayed wound healing, non-autonomous application of recombinant Sema3A with EGF enhanced wound repair in mice.

This study found that inhibiting 5α-reductase in molluscs provokes a specific shell morphology, suggesting gastropods might have unique 5α-reductase substrates absent in vertebrates.

This article discusses the significance of anatomic zones in hair loss and underscores the importance for hair restoration surgeons to understand these patterns and their implications for future treatments, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that one month after discharge, cardiovascular patients previously hospitalized for COVID-19 experienced reduced respiratory symptoms but increased reports of depression, hypercholesterolemia, fatigue, and sleep disorders.

This study highlighted Keratin 17's critical role in cancer therapy resistance across several malignancies, involving various signaling pathways, and identified it as a significant biomarker and potential therapeutic target, particularly in reversing resistance.
