This review highlights recent advances in CRISPR-based lineage tracing methods that can improve our understanding of skin stem cell behavior, regeneration, and disease, with potential applications in organoids and model organisms.

Changes in genes FGA, VWF, and ACTG1 may contribute to pemphigus vulgaris.

This study used single-cell RNA sequencing to analyze 26,573 cells from the scapular skin of yaks, identifying 11 major cell types and providing insights into the diversity and morphogenesis of hair follicle cell types through detailed maps of DP cells and dermal fibroblasts.

This study found that stage-specific epigenetic changes, particularly involving the gene PDGFC, may affect wool fiber development in Zhongwei goats, potentially serving as a biomarker for fur goat selection.

In this exploratory in vitro study, treatment with spermidine increased cell viability and altered gene expression in human epidermal keratinocytes, suggesting potential benefits to cellular health and function, though effects on mitochondrial markers were not significant.

This mini-review details how the SOX family of transcription factors contributes to cancer immune evasion by affecting antigen presentation, impacting the tumor's immunosuppressive environment, and regulating immune checkpoints, offering insights for developing novel immunotherapy strategies.

In this study, researchers performed a genome-wide characterization of the Wnt gene family in domestic donkeys, identifying 19 genes and highlighting their evolutionary conservation among mammals, along with tissue-specific expression patterns potentially linked to reproductive regulation and tissue homeostasis.

This review highlighted that in an in vitro setting, 3D spheroid cultures of fish cells offer a promising alternative to traditional monolayer cultures, potentially advancing research in eco-toxicology, immunology, drug screening, and more by better mimicking in vivo conditions.

This study found that overexpression of the FA2H gene in cashmere goats' hair follicle cells may enhance hair proliferation and regulate genes affecting cashmere fineness.

In this study, the researchers analyzed skin samples from Dun Mongolian horses to uncover molecular pathways linked to the "Bider" marking, identifying differential gene expression and several pigment-related signaling pathways that may play key roles in its formation.

This study found that in a human skin organ culture model of pemphigus vulgaris, split formation led to significant upregulation of IFNγ and TNFα-related genes, indicating secondary effects from mechanical stress, not direct changes from autoantibodies.

This study reported that supplementing rat hair follicle stem cells with chick embryo extract enhanced their migration and proliferation, possibly promoting differentiation toward Schwann cells.

Immune system issues may contribute to female pattern hair loss.

In this case series, low-dose oral metformin was associated with improvements in symptoms and gene expression changes in Black female patients with treatment-resistant central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, suggesting a potential therapeutic role for metformin in managing this condition.

This study identified key genes and miRNAs involved in feather morphogenesis in Zhedong White geese, highlighting a negative correlation between FOXO3 and miR-144-y.

The researchers reported that several m6A-related genes, particularly IGF2BP3, were differentially expressed in keloid tissue compared to normal skin, indicating potential targets for understanding keloid pathogenesis and treatment.

In mouse models of alopecia areata, this study found increased dilation of lymphatic vessels in affected mice, with associated changes in gene expression related to vascular growth and immune cell movement.

This article outlines methods to study the skin and its molecular traits, focusing on interpretation and techniques applicable to mouse models, including diverse assays and approaches like electron microscopy and large-scale lipid analyses.

In this study by Sawada et al., the researchers developed a human striatal model using stem cells and postmortem samples, revealing accelerated neuronal maturation and specific gene expression changes linked to schizophrenia risk, which may inform future research on the disorder's developmental roots.

This study established an animal model using UV-irradiated C57BL/6 mice to assess hair luster, reporting that UV exposure alters keratin-associated protein gene expression, and suggested potential for developing effective hair care products by evaluating treatments like oral minoxidil.

Stress can cause hair to turn gray by depleting stem cells.

This study shows that in a mouse model of Alopecia Areata, selective JAK1 inhibition facilitated hair regrowth and inflammation resolution while potentially offering a better safety profile compared to pan-JAK inhibition.

This review discusses the promising roles of nanozymes in burn wound treatment, highlighting their broad enzyme-like activities that include antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and pro-angiogenic effects, along with advantages over traditional treatments such as reduced drug resistance and higher stability.

This study observed that both ritlecitinib and brepocitinib improved scalp biomarkers in patients with alopecia areata, with associations to hair regrowth seen in this phase 2a trial.

This study identifies key transcriptomic features and a necessary dermal niche for eccrine gland development, advancing potential regenerative approaches for these vital skin appendages.

This study suggests that the growth arrest of nevus melanocytes is not due to oncogene-induced senescence but rather to collective cell interactions, similar to those in normal tissue size regulation.

The researchers reported that stress-induced keratins in human skin are expressed at lower levels than those in healthy skin and are co-regulated with genes involved in differentiation, inflammation, and immunity, rather than replacing keratins of normal differentiation or indicating cell proliferation.

This study reports that aging in human skin involves early photo- and inflammation-related cellular changes, and suggests restoring KLF6 and HES1 expression might reverse some of these age-associated changes.

This study highlighted the promising health benefits of taxifolin, a flavonoid with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and other protective effects found in foods like onions and milk thistle, though more research is needed to fully understand its mechanisms and safety for human therapeutic use.
