This article reviews the regulation and roles of spermidine/spermine-N(1)-acetyltransferase (SSAT) in polyamine metabolism and its potential as a target in cancer and other diseases, without reporting new experimental results.

Men with early balding may have hormonal imbalances similar to women with PCOS and could benefit from similar treatments.

This study observed that middle-aged women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome who practiced yoga Nidra for twelve weeks experienced improvements in stress, anxiety, and depression compared to a control group that did not participate in any intervention.

This study found that methylation of the 5-AR 2 promoter region may lead to low or absent 5-AR 2 protein expression in some human adult prostate tissues.

This study details the isolation and characterization of the human type II 5 alpha-reductase gene, which may play a role in male pseudohermaphroditism, prostate cancer, and benign prostatic hyperplasia.

In this study using a transgenic mouse model, Id2 overexpression in hair follicle stem cells prolonged quiescence by affecting gene expression, partly independent from BMP signaling.

In this study, researchers demonstrated that the Id2 gene acts as a direct target and effector of BMP signaling, playing a key role in maintaining quiescence in hair follicle stem cells in vivo.

This study identified a novel human type I hair keratin, hHa3-II, as an isoform of a previously described hHa3 keratin, with distinct sequence differences indicating separate gene encoding.

This study found that the transcription factor Meis2 is crucial for the maturation and innervation of sensory neurons responsible for light touch in mice, with its absence leading to reduced touch sensitivity.

This study reports that a novel frameshift mutation in the HTRA1 gene in a CARASIL pedigree led to reduced HTRA1 protein and increased TGF-β1 expression, potentially causing severe CARASIL and peripheral small arterial disease.

This study found a previously unreported ST14 gene mutation in a patient with ichthyosis-hypotrichosis syndrome, highlighting novel skin and hair characteristics and emphasizing the critical role of the Asp482 amino acid in matriptase activation.

This study determined that the human steroid 5α-reductase enzymes localize to the endoplasmic reticulum in HeLa cells, with protein tagging affecting expression and inducing protein aggregates for some isoforms.

The researchers reported that TGM2 appears to play a crucial role in sebocyte differentiation and may act as a negative regulator of lipid metabolism in sebaceous glands.

This study suggests that subtle modifications in ribosomal RNA methylation may influence cellular physiology and contribute to ribosome specialization in senescent human dermal fibroblasts.

This study found that HtrA2 inactivation in mnd2 mice is associated with delayed hair cycle phases and growth retardation of adipocytes, suggesting HtrA2's role in regulating adipogenesis-related hair growth.

This study found that enzymatic conversion of Arg-51 in S100A3 protein to citrulline promotes homotetramer assembly, potentially increasing Ca²⁺ binding required for hair cuticular barrier formation.

In this study, the presence of the HPV11-E2 protein in transgenic mice was found to increase and vary the expression of a reporter gene in hair follicle bulge regions.

This study found that Secretory Phospholipase A2-IIA (sPLA2-IIA) promotes proliferation through JNK/c-Jun signaling, distinctively affecting normal stem cells and cancer cells, suggesting it as a potential target for cancer treatment.

This study found that SFRP2 enhances Wnt3a-mediated β-catenin signaling in human dermal papilla cells, with higher SFRP2 expression in beard cells correlating with increased trichogenicity.

This study identified a human sequence likely coding for a new ultra-high sulphur protein, which may aid in understanding hair differentiation and the molecular basis of human trichothiodystrophy.

This study observed that reduced activation of SMAD2/3 proteins in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma tissue compared to adjacent tissue may indicate a tumor suppressor role in disease progression.

This study suggests that over-expression of Sp2 may limit stem cell differentiation and contribute to tumorigenic cell growth in mice.

This research found that deleting the SLC3A2 gene in hair follicle stem cells disrupts their maintenance and proper differentiation, leading to hair follicle growth defects and altered skin regeneration through a YAP/Taz-dependent pathway.

This study found that the PP2A-B55α regulatory subunit is crucial for ectodermal development in mice, with knockout embryos displaying severe neural and epidermal defects and failing to survive to birth.

This study suggests that residues Val-889 and Arg-752 in the androgen receptor's steroid binding domain are crucial for NH2-/carboxyl-terminal interaction, affecting receptor stability and function.

This study found that an SNP in the FGFR2 gene, rs4752566, was significantly associated with hair thickness in Asian populations, suggesting an effect on hair morphology through altered FGFR2 expression levels.

This study found that the hHa1-t protein variant, caused by a genetic polymorphism in the hHa1 gene, forms functional keratin filaments despite lacking a complete nonhelical tail domain, explaining the absence of a pathological hair phenotype.

In this study, researchers found that the efflux of calcium in root hairs of Arabidopsis thaliana, particularly through the ER-localized ACA2 and ACA7, is crucial for modulating cytoplasmic calcium signals and enabling proper root hair growth, with disruptions leading to impaired elongation.

In this study, miR-218-5p was found to enhance hair shaft growth and positively regulate the Wnt signaling pathway by targeting SFRP2 during skin and hair follicle development.
