This study observed that high concentrations of rosemary and thyme extract caused thymic tissue damage, decreased IgM and IgG levels, and fluctuated IL-10 levels in chick embryos, with inflammation signs present despite potential benefits.

This study found that injecting thymus gland extracts into albino rats significantly accelerated growth and morphological differentiation across generations, including earlier sexual maturation and development of features like hair and teeth.

This study found that the hairless mutant gene in C 57BL/6 mice affects the hair follicle cycle and leads to early thymus degeneration and distinct skin changes.

This is the first report of the FOXN1 p.R255X mutation from India, demonstrating the global spread of this genetic mutation previously found only in an Italian community.

This study found that in young male rats, cortisone acetate inhibited body growth and caused alopecia, which vitamin B12 and aureomycin largely counteracted, especially when combined.

In this study, researchers observed that chronic stress affected wild-derived house mice differently by sex, with females showing less weight gain and distinct behavioral changes, while males exhibited higher hair corticosterone levels, suggesting divergent coping strategies and implications for sex-specific stress assessment protocols.

This case report describes a rare instance of thymoma associated with alopecia areata in a 60-year-old woman who had no signs of myasthenia gravis, highlighting the need for thoracic surgeons to consider alopecia in such cases due to its impact on quality of life.

In this study, rat primary thymic epithelial cells demonstrated a clonogenic growth pattern in vitro and were able to integrate into functional thymus or differentiate into skin derivatives, similar to skin multipotent stem cells.

In this study, researchers using a mouse model found that the hairlessness in nude mice is likely due to a shared defect in the thymus and skin, not thymic dysgenesis alone.

This study observed that targeted expression of the neu oncogene in transgenic mice led to significant epidermal hyperplasia and a carcinoma-like appearance, suggesting a crucial role for erbB2 signaling in epidermal proliferation and carcinogenesis.

This study observed that thymosin beta 4 and VEGF have similar expression patterns in various human tissues, suggesting a role in angiogenesis and organ function.

In this study, monoclonal antibody B72.3 showed selective immunoreactivity to specific types of normal canine epithelial cells, primarily those involved in mucin production.

This study demonstrated that murine monoclonal antibodies can reveal specific patterns of desmosomal cadherin expression, Dsc1 and Dsc3, in human tissues and cultured cells using immunofluorescence microscopy.

This study found that thymosin β4 is highly expressed in multiple human tissues and may play a role in organ function and angiogenesis through co-localization with VEGF.

This chapter discusses the role of hormones in regulating reproductive biology and outlines how the endocrine system, particularly the brain and pituitary gland, controls these hormonal processes.

This review discusses the mechanisms by which isotretinoin and hormonal therapy treat acne through their effects on sebaceous glands, reporting no new clinical results.

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 found that thymus transplantation in athymic mice resulted in T-cell-driven hair follicle depigmentation and loss, without multiorgan autoimmune disease, highlighting mechanisms of tissue-specific tolerance.

In this research, LEF1 was identified as a crucial transcription factor for submucosal gland development in mouse and ferret tracheas, though it requires other factors to induce gland formation.

This study found that the postnatal thymus contains a population of mesenchymal stem cells that may help maintain functional thymic microenvironments.

This study found that loss of Apc due to K14-cre-mediated gene recombination in mice led to aberrant growth in ectodermally derived squamous epithelia, implicating its critical role in specifying epithelial cell fates during embryonic development.

This chapter discusses the sources, classifications, and effects of hormones, their role in disease treatment and food security, and reports no new results.

This study demonstrates that Tp63-expressing epithelial stem cells from non-skin tissues can respond to skin morphogenetic signals and contribute to the formation of hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and epidermis.

This review summarizes existing knowledge on the role of FOXN1 as a key regulator of thymic epithelial cell lineage and function, reporting no new experimental results.

In this study, silver foxes given a yeast "filtrate factor" supplement retained their fur and normal pelts, while those without it experienced fur loss and thymus abnormalities.

This study suggests that the protease HAT-L4 plays a significant role in maintaining epidermal barrier function to prevent body fluid loss, as its absence in mice led to increased fluid loss and higher mortality.

This study found that cathepsin L deficiency in mice led to significant abnormalities in hair follicle development and cycling, including disrupted hair shaft outgrowth and premature hair growth phase entry.

This study found that disrupting Adam10 in the epidermis led to severe skin and multi-organ abnormalities, implicating Adam10 as crucial for proper Notch signaling and skin maintenance.

This review explores the role of Foxn1 in mammalian skin biology, discussing its influence on hair follicle function and the potential for further research to enhance understanding of epithelial differentiation.

This review classifies mutant mice with hair abnormalities into six categories, providing an annotated table that serves as a reference for understanding the molecular controls of hair growth.
