This study observed that testosterone inhibits hair follicle epithelial cell proliferation in adult stumptailed macaques only when dermal papilla cells from bald scalps are present, with antiandrogen RU 58841 reversing this effect.

This study found that root hairs of wild-type Arabidopsis grow faster and longer under low potassium stress, with changes in actin filament dynamics and specific regulation by the actin bundling proteins VLN1 and VLN4.

In this case report, a 12-year-old girl with underlying sickle-thalassemia and familial stress presented with Rapunzel syndrome, a rare gastric trichobezoar, causing generalized swelling and severe anemia, which improved after surgical intervention and multidisciplinary care.

The researchers reported that topical application of small-molecule Wnt inhibitors significantly reduced fibrosis and promoted regenerative wound healing in mice.

This study found that measuring certain steroids in hair can help diagnose and monitor congenital adrenal hyperplasia in Indonesian patients, offering a simple noninvasive method for developing countries.

This study suggests that mechanical tension significantly impacts lymphocyte function, and that a complete lymphocyte population is essential for effective wound healing and reducing inflammation.

This case study reports that different organs, such as hair and stature, may grow at varying rates during different stages of growth.

This study found that a recessive mutation in the RHD4 gene of Arabidopsis thaliana leads to slower and more variable tip growth in seedling root hairs, resulting in shorter and wider hairs than in wild-type plants.

This study found that transgenic mice overexpressing human H-ferritin showed mild growth retardation and a temporary hairless phenotype, highlighting H-ferritin's physiological roles.

This study found that hair follicle stem cells in the hairpoor mouse, a model for Marie-Unna hypotrichosis, lose their quiescent state, leading to a disordered hair cycle and contributing to alopecia.

This case report describes a 34-year-old woman with pituitary stalk interruption syndrome, highlighting the need for long-term follow-up due to potential progression from isolated hormonal deficiencies to pan-hypopituitarism.

This study found that the absence of Hes1 in hair follicles delays secondary hair germ activation and shortens the anagen phase, impacting HFSC self-renewal and long-term hair regeneration.

In this study, hair follicle-associated pluripotent stem cells from transgenic mice successfully normalized hair follicles and stimulated hair growth in athymic nude mice, indicating potential for cellular hair-loss therapy.

This study found that psychoemotional stress disrupts hair growth in mice by terminating anagen and suggests a potential pathway for pharmacological management of stress-related hair loss in humans.

This review explores the various genetic, hormonal, environmental, and nutritional factors proposed to explain the historically shorter stature of Sardinians, while reporting no new empirical findings.

This study found that improved nutritional status after gastric cancer surgery was associated with better quality of life, with malnourished patients experiencing greater eating restrictions, anxiety, and other issues.

In this study on adult-onset, whole body Spry1/2/4 triple knockout mice, researchers observed endocrine abnormalities and no increased tumor incidence, despite similar food intake and motor function.

This study found that STAT3 directly inhibited the activity of the sheep FST gene promoter, consequently reducing cell proliferation and promoting a better understanding of hair follicle development mechanisms.

This study found that vitamin A deficiency in mice led to impaired skin and hair growth.

This study found that reduced cytokinin levels allow plants to adapt to low potassium conditions by enhancing root hair growth, reactive oxygen species accumulation, and expression of a key potassium transporter gene.

In this study, structural and functional brain abnormalities specific to visuospatial and somatosensory processing networks were observed in patients with anorexia nervosa, highlighting a critical role for the precuneus.

This article reviews various causes and diagnostic approaches to delayed puberty in boys and girls and does not report any new clinical findings; it emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between different underlying conditions.

Finasteride increases hair growth, prolongs hair cycle, and lowers dihydrotestosterone levels.

Inhibiting Bmp signaling disrupts hair growth and differentiation.

This study found that oxidative stress from chronic restraint stress delayed the anagen phase in the hair cycle of mice, but antioxidant treatment partially reversed this effect.

This article reports a case of trichothiodystrophy in a 7-year-old girl with sulfur deficiency in her hair, characterized by sparse, slow-growing hair and distinctive tiger tail banding under microscopy.

This abstract provides a graphic illustrating that mice lacking the Sgk3 gene exhibit thin coats and abnormal hair, suggesting a role for Sgk3 kinase in hair follicle growth, but reports no new experimental findings.

This study found that Arabidopsis thaliana plants developed longer root hairs under low phosphorus conditions, suggesting auxin involvement in this adaptive response.

In this study, increased corticosterone from chronic stress prolonged hair follicle stem cell quiescence in mice, inhibiting regeneration, but restoring Gas6 expression overcame this inhibition.
