This study, using a reporter mouse line, characterized diverse subtypes of dopaminergic neurons in the enteric nervous system, identifying unique subtypes with potential roles in gut function and disease.

This study observed that innervation of the mystacial pad in rats by fine-caliber axons is more extensive and complex than previously described, with distinct differences in labeling patterns depending on the tracer and survival time.

This review highlights the potential of in vivo reprogramming using OSKM transcription factors for developing rejuvenating and regenerative strategies, while noting the associated risk of tumorigenicity and discussing how improved understanding could lead to safer applications.

Rat hair follicle stem cells have functional oxytocin receptors, useful for studying neuropsychiatric disorders.

This study developed a tissue-engineered model of innervated skin, allowing for examination of how epidermis and capillaries affect nerve growth and offering a tool for further research on skin-related processes.

This study found that pyramidal neural precursors best grew neurites on matrigel, while neural stem cells differentiated directionally on aligned fibrin, suggesting the importance of biomaterial selection for cell culture.

This study observed that methylene blue staining and zinc iodide-osmium tetroxide techniques effectively revealed anatomical details of intraepidermal nerve fibre endings in the rat's mystacial pad, suggesting their potential role in mechanoreception.

This study found that late embryonic skin injuries can regenerate multiple tissue types, but this ability is hindered postnatally due to fibroblast-driven hyperinnervation, which can be mitigated to enable regeneration.

In this study, the researchers discovered that specific polyamine depletion enhances stemness in hair follicle stem cells through a mechanism independent of mRNA translation.

This study observed that activating Wnt signaling pathways increased the efficiency of reprogramming human fibroblasts into induced pluripotent stem cells compared to untreated cells.

This study found that sphingosine 1-phosphate and its receptor S1PR3 are essential in regulating the acute mechanical pain response, highlighting their role in mechanonociception without affecting responses to innocuous touch or thermal stimuli.

This review discusses melanocyte development, emphasizing the plasticity of melanoblasts and the role of both intrinsic and extracellular signals in their differentiation and migration, with no new clinical results reported.

In this study, a mouse model with a PIK3CA gain-of-function mutation in Schwann cells revealed unique communication with neighboring cells and a glycolytic shift in peripheral nerves, and early alpelisib treatment significantly improved symptoms, though efficacy declined with delayed administration due to limited drug penetration.

This study found that super-enhancers are essential for hair follicle stem cell identity, lineage commitment, and plasticity in mice, with SOX9 being a key regulator of these chromatin dynamics.

This study found that mature dermal adipocytes have high plasticity, undergoing dedifferentiation and redifferentiation, which plays a significant role in hair cycling and wound healing.

This review discusses the plasticity of stem cell populations and their ability to switch between functions for tissue homeostasis and regeneration, emphasizing environmental and hormonal influences, and reports no new results.

This study found that mouse type II spiral ganglion neurites in vitro avoided laminin and high concentrations of fibronectin, indicating both can guide neurite paths differently than type I neurites.

This study found that hair-follicle-associated pluripotent stem cells can promote nerve repair and growth in a 3D culture model and potentially differentiate into cardiac muscle cells, offering advantages over other stem cell types for regenerative medicine.

In a mouse model of deep skin burns, this study found that a neuro-inspired biomimetic microreactor, when delivered through a hydrogel and activated by near-infrared light, significantly promoted functional skin regeneration, sensory recovery, and hair follicle formation.

In this study, researchers observed that spiral ganglion neurites created more branched networks near FGF-1-coupled beads compared to control beads, highlighting FGF-1's role in hair cell innervation development.

This study found that sustained ERK activity during tissue regeneration in spiny mice is linked to fibroblast growth factor and ErbB signaling, while inhibiting ERK shifted regeneration toward scarring.

This study suggests that IT PEP injection may have beneficial effects after spinal cord injury, but additional research is necessary to better understand and optimize its clinical application.

This study found that diazepam had an exaggerated effect on GABA-related inhibitory tone in diabetic neuropathic mice compared to normal mice, potentially due to mitochondrial dysfunction affecting neurosteroid synthesis.

In this study, researchers developed an enhanced rodent model of trigeminal neuralgia, demonstrating that structural and functional changes in the anterior cingulate cortex are linked to chronic pain and emotional disturbances, and chemogenetic inhibition of specific neurons could alleviate symptoms.

This review re-examines hair blowouts as a material science process, where water acts as a plasticizer altering keratin's glass-transition temperature, allowing for temporary hair shaping through a moisture-induced matrix state change under heat and tension.

This study found that early life stress significantly affects hedonic sensitivity to high-palatable food by altering gonadal hormones in prenatally-stressed male and female rats, with sex-dependent changes in reward-related behaviors and neurochemistry.

In this study, transplanted whisker follicles from ND-GFP mice aided spinal cord repair in injured mice, and surprisingly, also grew long hair shafts at the site of transplantation.

The KDM1 gene helps Venus flytraps close by managing potassium ions.
