This study found that finasteride impaired stress reactivity and reduced exploratory and impulsive behaviors in rats, potentially by altering the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis function.

This study developed a mouse model to monitor hair follicle cycling macroscopically through live bioluminescence imaging, enabling detailed analysis of hair cycle and propagation dynamics influenced by environmental factors.

This review examines the role of P-cadherin in skin and hair biology, emphasizing its importance in human hair growth, cycling, and pigmentation, and reports no new research findings.

In this study, re-activating SOX9 in adult epidermal stem cells led to a fate switch towards hair follicle stem cell identity, with altered chromatin dynamics and oncogenic activation, contributing insights into developmental processes and cancer pathways.

The study characterized the transcriptional changes in porcine SKP cells transitioning to fibroblast-like cells, indicating potential roles for specific signaling pathways in this cell fate transition.

This study found that a gene from hamster flank organs is indirectly regulated by androgens, despite lacking direct androgen responsive elements, indicating involvement of androgen-dependent transcription factors.

In this study, bright light exposure during the daytime did not significantly affect clock gene expression in humans, although Rev-erb-ß expression appeared stronger under bright light compared to dim light.

This study found that ingenol mebutate treatment led to gene expression changes in actinic keratoses, with complete lesion clearance in 40% of patients and identified genetic markers potentially predicting treatment response.

This study reported that recombinant sonic hedgehog proteins can promote hair growth by activating hair-related genes and signaling pathways, suggesting potential as a therapeutic agent in mice.

The researchers reported that the novel MBTPS2 variant p.Glu172Asp found in a male proband is likely pathogenic, consistent with osteogenesis imperfecta symptoms and molecular signatures, including disrupted fatty acid metabolism and collagen production.

In this study, researchers discovered that the MafB gene, which is important for macrophage differentiation, shows high expression in the pancreas and is influenced by sex steroids, with varied expression patterns in hamster tissues and during reproductive phases.

This research suggests that plucked hair follicles may serve as a reliable surrogate tissue for tumor biopsies in drug development, based on a mouse model linking hair and tumor pharmacodynamic responses.

This research found that androgen bioactivity plays a role in normal female sexual differentiation, suggesting females develop within a significant androgenic environment, with implications for understanding conditions like congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

This article reviews genetic and phenotypic aspects of androgen insensitivity syndromes, emphasizing the diversity of mutations that complicates molecular screening and the importance of genotype-phenotype correlations.

This study suggests that phenotypic plasticity, including processes like dedifferentiation and transdifferentiation, plays a crucial role in cancer initiation, progression, and therapy resistance, broadening our understanding of cancer dynamics and potential treatment strategies.

This review discusses the expression patterns and biochemical roles of Msx and Dlx genes during development but does not present new research findings.

Mammalian organs regenerate using stem cells and cell plasticity, but this ability declines with age.

This study found that Cutl1 mutant mice experienced retarded lung differentiation and abnormal hair follicle morphogenesis, indicating the vital role of CDP in lung development and hair follicle cell-lineage specification.

This study found that Smad7 perturbs hair follicle development while promoting sebaceous gland formation by antagonizing Wnt/β-catenin signaling in transgenic mice.
