Contact immunotherapy can change immune responses in alopecia areata, suggesting new treatment targets.

This study used an ex vivo human skin model to show that tropical conditions disrupt skin homeostasis, resulting in epidermal thickening and junctional flattening, and found that Kombucha tea extract may help preserve skin structure under such stress.

This study found that OCT4-overexpressing human hair follicle mesenchymal stem cells show promise for artificial hematopoiesis by enhancing self-renewal through cytoskeletal remodeling and the beta-catenin-dependent adherens junction pathway.

This study observed that after hair cell loss in the mouse cochlea, supporting cells were replaced by migrating non-specialised cells, with genetic background affecting the rate of tissue re-organization.

The study suggests that integrin β1 is crucial for maintaining liver microstructure and its absence may promote fibrosis by disrupting hepatocyte-extracellular matrix interactions and increasing TGF-β secretion.

This study demonstrates that Wnt signaling plays a crucial mechanoregulatory role in skin regeneration by influencing cellular responses to substrate rigidity, which promotes hair follicle regeneration in the wound-induced hair neogenesis model.

This study found that the 3' UTR of JAM-A acts as a key competing endogenous RNA that supports dermal papilla cell function and hair follicle regeneration in alopecia areata.

This review discusses the functions and potential therapeutic targeting of TRP ion channels in the skin, noting their involvement in both physiological processes and various pathological conditions, but reports no new experimental results.

This article discusses the complex biological functions and social significance of hair follicles and reports no new research findings, emphasizing their role in health, disease, and a substantial beauty industry.

This study found that ultraviolet radiation negatively affects hair follicle functions in human scalp skin, and caffeine application may provide some protective effects against this damage.

This study found that integrin-linked kinase is crucial for various epidermal functions, including differentiation and barrier formation, and also plays a previously unreported role in melanocyte development and function.

This review discusses how acute exposures to environmental and internal stressors can quickly alter skin functions, leading to various dermatological symptoms, and calls for more research on these short-term effects.

This research reports that the polyG fragment within the Hoxc13 protein alters its gene regulatory functions, which could have influenced mammalian hair evolution by affecting pathways related to hair follicle development.

This study found that Fraser's Dolphin, a tight-skinned mammal, can regenerate complex skin architecture with minimal scarring after large full-thickness wounds, even in high-tension environments, offering insights into regenerative healing mechanisms typically obscured by fibrotic responses.

This forum article in BMC Biology discusses evolving views on the concept of the stem cell niche, highlighting varied mechanisms and the need for better understanding of the niche's roles and functions.

This review discusses the molecular mechanisms by which oncogenic viruses contribute to cancer development through manipulation of host cellular functions and highlights the need for further research into virus-associated cancers, reporting no new results.

This review summarizes the role of G-protein-coupled receptors in wound healing and reports no new clinical results, highlighting their importance in signaling pathways and recent discoveries in their functions.

This article explains the structure and multifunctional roles of the human skin, including its protective, regulatory, and sensory functions, but does not report new research findings.

This article reviews the role of keratins in epithelial function and structure, discussing their involvement in growth control, organelle functions, and pathomechanisms of disorders, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses recent advances in the development of electrospun pectin nanofibers for biomedical applications, highlighting strategies to improve their mechanical properties and biological functions and addressing challenges like material variability and regulatory issues.

This study reviews the embryological origins, anatomical and histological structure, and key functions of the skin, emphasizing its protective, sensory, and regulatory roles, as well as the social and psychological impacts of post-lesion changes.

This review discusses the significant role of Wnt signaling in skin development, homeostasis, and disease, highlighting recent advances in understanding its diverse functions, but reports no new experimental results.

This study identified new dietary ligands for the human vitamin D receptor, including curcumin and gamma-tocotrienol, which may influence its biological functions.

This review highlights the potential of near-infrared light therapy to improve metabolic, antioxidant, and cognitive functions without adverse effects, and supports its use for visual and neurological conditions through molecular and cellular mechanisms, as reported in this source.

This study explored the expression and potential functions of long non-coding RNAs in the skin pigmentation of Koi carp, revealing their involvement in pigmentation and differentiation mechanisms.

This review explores the complex endocrine functions of human skin and its role as a peripheral endocrine organ, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that STRIP1 and the STRIPAK complex play a key role in regulating F-actin and cell-cell junctions, which are essential for maintaining the epidermal barrier in mouse skin.

This study found that keratin-associated proteins related to metallothionein and occludin appear in various animals, suggesting they may have roles beyond hair characteristics and were later adapted for hair production.

This review discusses the role of polarity signaling in coordinating tissue mechanics, micro-environmental functions, and cell fate decisions, but it reports no new results, highlighting the need for further study in mammalian models.
