Human hair follicle cells can become fat and bone cells, useful for therapy.

This review highlights similarities in the development of thymus and skin epidermis, reporting no new results; the authors emphasize shared molecular mechanisms despite different embryonic origins.

This study confirms that the proposed universal model for hard α-keratin structure applies to all known forms across various mammalian species.

This study found that aliphatic ester moieties in 16-formyl-17-methoxy dehydroepiandrosterone derivatives increased their potency as 5α-reductase type 2 inhibitors in vitro compared to finasteride.

This review discusses the multifunctional role of PKM2 in promoting cardiac repair and regeneration, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target in cardiovascular medicine, but reports no new experimental results.

This study found that incorporating Canavalia ensiformis lectin into alginate and carboxymethylcellulose films enhanced angiogenic factor expression, suggesting these biopolymer films could be an effective alternative for wound treatment.

This review discusses the potential and current applications of platelet-rich plasma in otolaryngology and reports no new clinical results; the authors note varying evidence for its effectiveness across medical conditions.

This study developed a smart PVA-TPE/HA-AMP/SF/ALG wound dressing that shows promise in infected wound healing by providing bacterial resistance, promoting cell proliferation, and modulating inflammation through various signaling pathways, potentially reducing scar formation.

In this study, autopsies of children who suffered fatal abuse revealed stress-associated markers like telogen effluvium and thymus involution, which may help pathologists identify chronic abuse cases.

The researchers reported that basal cell carcinoma tumor cells strongly express keratins typical of basal keratinocytes and some hair follicle components but lack differentiation markers, suggesting a follicular or pluripotent stem cell origin.

This study found that patients with alopecia areata had higher levels of Th17 cells and lower levels of regulatory T cells compared to healthy controls, suggesting an immune imbalance in these patients.

This study demonstrated that phosphatidylcholine liposomes can deliver calcein and melanin into hair follicles and shafts in mice without significant penetration into the dermis, epidermis, or bloodstream.

This overview outlines the latest advancements and challenges in developing three-dimensional scaffolds for biomanufacturing cultured meat, focusing on organizing muscle stem cells to better mimic the structure of traditional meat. Results are not reported in the abstract.

This study identified specific germline and somatic mutations in the Phospholipase C Delta 1 gene as high-risk factors for developing hereditary trichilemmal cysts, involving a monoallelic two-hit mechanism.

The researchers reported that scaffoldin, a protein identified in chicken embryos, likely plays a role in forming periderm granules and contributes to the soft cornification of embryonic epidermis.

In this review, cellulose-based nanofibers are highlighted for their potential in wound care, given their biodegradability, biocompatibility, and ability to enhance antimicrobial properties and drug delivery in wound dressings through modern fabrication techniques like electrospinning.

KAP8.1 protein is crucial for hair structure and interacts with keratin 85.

This study found that overexpression of PKCɛ in mouse epidermis increased sensitivity to metastatic squamous cell carcinoma, suggesting that a PKCɛ-mediated microenvironment may promote cancer development through specific cytokines like TNFα.

This review discusses how chronic inflammation can lead to persistent stem cell activation and DNA damage, ultimately promoting cancer development and metastasis, but reports no new results.

This study suggests that low-dose IL-2 and IL-15 may help restore immune tolerance in alopecia areata by maintaining Treg cell function, presenting a potential new treatment strategy.

This systematic review synthesizes evidence from the past 20 years to highlight the potential of exosome-based therapies from stem cells and plants in improving cutaneous repair, skin aging, and challenging dermatological conditions through mechanisms like immunomodulation and collagen remodeling.

In this study, human dermal papilla cell-derived extracellular vesicles (hDPC-EVs) were found to reduce skin fibrosis in mice by delivering miRNA-182-5p, which inhibits the TGF-β1 signaling pathway.

Platelet-rich plasma therapy may have benefits and is generally safe, but more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness and safety.

This study aimed to identify unknown genetic risk loci associated with androgenetic alopecia by examining SNPs at 12 genomic loci but did not find complete heritable risk factors.

This review explores the cellular and molecular basis of wound-induced hair neogenesis and its relationship with aging but does not report new clinical results, highlighting areas for future research.

A man was diagnosed with a rare form of lupus after showing unique skin symptoms that responded well to treatment.

In this study, only a subset of proposed biomarkers universally responded to priming in mesenchymal stromal cells, suggesting limited utility for standardized potency assays across different MSC types and conditions.

This review discusses the effects of oestrogen on skin ageing and highlights the need for large-scale clinical trials to evaluate postmenopausal oestrogen use, reporting no new findings.

This review found that existing studies on adipose tissue for scarring, wound healing, and hair growth show some positive outcomes, but the evidence is insufficient to change current dermatological practices.

In a porcine model, this study observed that using an External Tissue Expansion Device increased epidermis thickness, cell proliferation, and vessel density at fat graft recipient sites.
