This study found that exposing adult esophageal epithelial cells to skin stroma can induce them to transition toward a hair follicle identity, with HIF1a playing a crucial role in this conversion process.

In this study, the expression of certain hair follicle-related genes differed between growth phases in Angora goats, with HOXC13 showing overexpression during the anagen phase, potentially influencing the mohair's shine and texture.

In this study, CD4+ non-haematopoietic, skin-resident stem cell-like populations were identified in both murine and human epidermis, suggesting they may serve as potential basal cell carcinoma precursors.

This review discusses the role of Sox2 in skin development, hair follicle regeneration, cancer, and wound healing, and reports no new experimental results.

This study identified hypericin and berberine as compounds that can support hair growth by enhancing oxytocin receptor expression and acting as an oxytocin receptor agonist, respectively, potentially serving as practical alternatives to oxytocin for treating hair-loss diseases.

This study found that CD200-negative human hair follicle bulge cells have a higher hair-regenerative capability compared to CD200-positive cells, suggesting that reduced CD200 expression may enhance hair regeneration, providing insights for improving bulge cell-based hair restoration techniques.

This review discusses the potential role of vascular endothelial cells as signaling niches influencing epithelial stem cell states in the skin, emphasizing the need for further exploration in this area.

This study revealed that during avian skin development, complex tissue architecture results from specific cellular flows and mechanical processes that guide feather bud protrusion and elongation, with distinct differences noted in scale development, where rigidity restricts such transformations.

This study found that rhamnose can restore hair-inducing gene expression in dermal papilla cells and accelerate hair follicle regeneration by promoting the hair cycle into the anagen phase, suggesting its potential therapeutic application for alopecia treatment.

In a keratinocyte-specific knockout mouse model, this study found that deleting GRK2 disrupted hair follicle homeostasis, causing cyst-like structures, abnormal growth patterns, and eventual hair loss, suggesting potential links to immune-mediated alopecias.

This review highlights the important role of lymphatic vessels in skin regeneration and their interaction with skin stem cells, emphasizing recent research advancements and potential implications for managing skin diseases.

This study found that AP-2α and AP-2β transcription factors are crucial for maintaining adult skin homeostasis, with their inactivation in keratinocytes leading to impaired differentiation, hair abnormalities, and inflammation, highlighting their key regulatory roles.

This study constructed a comprehensive atlas of prenatal human skin, revealing that innate immune cells, such as macrophages, play a crucial role in skin morphogenesis by interacting with non-immune cells, influencing hair follicle formation and angiogenesis beyond their traditional immune functions.

This study found that VE-cadherin and Alk1, traditionally linked to vascular functions, also play crucial roles in maintaining nerve homeostasis in mice during hair growth cycles by modulating certain cell populations.

This study found that maintaining a low level of Wnt/β-catenin activity is crucial for mammary gland development, as excessive activity inhibits branching and promotes characteristics of hair follicles instead, highlighting its role in skin appendage identity decisions.

This study found that HOXC13 gene expression was significantly higher during the anagen phase in Angora goats, potentially contributing to the mohair's shiny and silky nature.

This study identified a unique transcriptional signature in occipital hair follicles that may protect them from miniaturization in androgenetic alopecia, using an animal-free model to investigate gene roles.

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 dissertation reported that the loss of Ovol2 impairs hair follicle regeneration and wound repair in mice, highlighting its role in regulating directional migration of epithelial cells.

This study proposes the miR-22-5p-LEF1 axis as a novel pathway that may regulate hair follicle stem cell proliferation.

This study found that patients with alopecia areata had significantly lower serum vitamin D levels compared to controls, but these levels did not impact disease severity or pattern.

This review summarizes the application of genome wide association studies and selection signature analyses in sheep and goat breeding in China, highlighting genomic regions that influence traits like reproductive performance and body size.

In this study, targeted deletion of the stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 gene in mice disrupted the epidermal lipid barrier, leading to increased water loss, impaired thermoregulation, and metabolic issues.

This study suggests that patients with STSD show a different pattern in androgen activation compared to healthy controls, potentially due to increased 5α-reductase activity and absent prepubertal serum DHEA surge.

This review discusses the development and potential therapeutic applications of steroid sulfatase inhibitors for hormone-dependent disorders and cognitive dysfunction, reporting no new clinical results.

This study found that fatty acid desaturation regulated by SCD1 is crucial for hair growth by maintaining hair follicle stem cell niches, with its absence causing abnormal hair growth in mice.

This study found that androgens increase Odc1 expression in skeletal muscle myoblasts, promoting proliferation and delaying differentiation.

This review discusses the roles of store-operated Ca 2+ entry proteins in skin cell function and their links to various skin diseases, but it reports no new results.

This review discusses the role of the enzyme Δ9-desaturase-1 in skin lipid regulation and whole-body energy balance in mice and reports no new experimental results.

This study presents evidence that hair matrix progenitors and the enzyme Stearoyl CoA Desaturase 1 may play a role in maintaining the dermal papilla niche via autocrine Wnt and paracrine Hedgehog signaling in mice.
