This study investigated bacterial isolates from Xylocarpus sp. mangrove fruit and found that these symbiotic bacteria exhibit antibacterial, antifungal, and hair follicle growth properties, suggesting potential applications in the cosmetic bioindustry, particularly for treating alopecia.

This study found that inactivating CerS4 in mouse epidermis disrupts lipid homeostasis and is crucial for maintaining, but not forming, the skin barrier.

This review discusses recent advancements in engineering sebaceous gland organoids for potential regenerative applications, highlighting strategies to create functionalized organoids but reports no new clinical results.

This study suggests that heparan sulfate is crucial for regulating hair follicle formation, cycling, and gland morphogenesis, with its ablation leading to continuous hair growth and increased gland activity in mice.

Ceramide Synthase 4 is crucial for healthy skin barrier function.

This article describes a rare case of syringomas on the scalp in a 56-year-old woman with alopecia, highlighting the importance of scalp biopsy for diagnosing atypical neoplastic lesions and associated conditions.

MCSP may help identify and regulate skin stem cells, affecting hair growth and regeneration.

In this study, elevated mRNA levels for serine-rich ultra high sulfur proteins were observed during active hair growth phases in mice, particularly in the forming hair structures and upper skin layers.

This paper discusses the role of steroid sulfatase in hormone-dependent tumors and highlights the development of potent inhibitors, noting the commencement of a phase I trial for one inhibitor in postmenopausal breast cancer patients.

This study found that fucoidan extracts from Sargassum glaucescens, particularly oligo-fucoidans, promoted hair growth and increased related gene expression in human dermal papilla cells and mice models.

This study reports on the biochemical characteristics of S100A3 protein in human hair cuticle, notably finding its N-terminal methionine is acetylated and has a slightly lower isoelectric point compared to the recombinant version.

This study by Gao et al. reports that two nonsteroidal selective androgen receptor modulators, S1 and S4, demonstrated tissue-selective actions in rats, suppressing prostate growth while maintaining muscle growth without altering hormone levels.

This report describes a new case of isolated trichothiodystrophy with characteristic brittle hair and suggests a simplified classification scheme for understanding sulfur-deficient hair disorders.

This study found that the distribution of desmogleins is associated with specific types of keratinization and hair anchorage, as well as hypotrichosis.

This study found that while 3D spheroid culture preserved sweat gland cell-specific markers better than 2D culture, their growth and structural organization were suboptimal, highlighting the need for improved culture systems.

This study describes unique anatomical characteristics of the skin and hair structures in the silver marmoset, including features such as thin epidermis, specialized nerve end-organs, and distinctive gland compositions.

This study identified ISPP-Rb, a novel immuno-stimulatory complex from Royoporus badius, that significantly activates murine macrophage cells and induces multiple proinflammatory cytokines.

This study found that the S100A4/NMIIA axis contributes to glioblastoma progression by recruiting and promoting migration of GBM cells along blood vessels, correlating with worse patient outcomes.

This review summarizes recent multidisciplinary advances in sebaceous gland research and highlights potential novel therapeutic strategies for skin diseases, but it reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the medicinal chemistry of steroid sulfatase inhibitors for estrogen- and androgen-dependent disorders but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that overexpression of sPLA2-X in mice was associated with alopecia and hair follicle abnormalities, highlighting its potential role in hair follicle homeostasis.

This report describes the successful use of sonidegib in treating two cases of locally advanced basal cell carcinoma, leading to remission in both instances, and reducing lesions in a patient with Gorlin syndrome, while noting mild side effects consistent with the drug's known profile.

This article reviews the role of sulfhydryl compounds, particularly cystine, in sulfur metabolism and the physiology of skin in both normal and pathological conditions, reporting no new findings.

This case report describes a rare patient with Sjogren's syndrome who experienced recurrent pneumothorax, resolved through surgical intervention, highlighting pneumothorax as an unusual complication of the condition.

This study found that spermidine, a polyamine, plays an essential role in hair growth in sheep follicles, while spermine is not required for normal follicle function.

In this study, researchers developed a microfluidics-based method for creating uniform, size-controlled stem cell spheroids that enhance osteogenic differentiation when encapsulated in alginate-RGD microgels.

This review details five cases of syphilitic alopecia, an uncommon symptom in syphilis affecting mainly men, emphasizing that dermatologists should be vigilant as it can appear as the sole symptom.

This study reveals that CSPG4-positive basal cell keratinocytes show distinct global gene expression from CSPG4-negative cells, despite similar colony-forming efficiency.

This study observed that radioactive sulphur appeared in rat and mouse hair follicles more quickly than in lambs, possibly linked to faster hair growth rates in the rodents.

This study found that inactivating CerS4 in mice led to hair follicle stem cell exhaustion and hair loss, indicating its role in regulating hair regeneration through ceramide composition and signaling pathways.
