This study found that TSC2-null fibroblast cells from TSC skin hamartomas can induce hair follicle formation and hamartomatous changes in keratinocytes, with active mTOR signaling observable in a mouse xenograft model.

This study successfully established Tsc2-deficient embryonic stem cells from Eker rats and found these cells have distinct gene expression compared to non-mutant cells, which could help identify new therapeutic targets for TSC-related pathogenesis.

This study demonstrated that 5-azacytidine treatment may reduce TSC lesion-related hair follicles in mice, suggesting chromatin remodeling agents could be effective for tuberous sclerosis cutaneous lesions lacking tuberin.

Sirolimus can reduce tumor cell size in TSC-related skin tumors, but continuous treatment is needed to maintain benefits.

This review suggests that the TSC22D family genes may influence metabolism and cancer, potentially serving as a therapeutic target for conditions like diabetes, obesity, and certain tumors, depending on the tumor environment.

This study in mice suggests that defects in hair follicles with mesenchymal TSC2 disruption may result from an impaired TGFβ1 response, indicating a potential novel treatment approach for tuberous sclerosis complex.

This study identified TSC2 as an important regulator of hair follicle morphogenesis and patterning, with Tsc2cKO mice showing altered hair patterns and frequencies compared to controls.

This study found that topically applied melatonin exerts significant anti-aging effects on human scalp skin ex vivo, including increased SIRT1 expression and reduced mTORC1 pathway activity.

In a mouse model, this study found that LAM/TSC cells invaded the uterus and increased angiogenesis, while anti-EGFR antibody and rapamycin effectively reduced cell presence and blood vessel proliferation.

In this study, Sox13 was identified as a novel marker for early hair follicle development and differentiation in mice, though it appears to be dispensable for overall epidermal and adnexal development.

This study concluded that terminal Schwann cells are essential for the maintenance and regeneration of mechanosensory lanceolate complexes at hair follicles in adult mice.

This review discusses the roles of tissue-specific and mesenchymal stromal cells in tissue repair and reparative disorders, highlighting potential therapeutic targets for muscle, heart, and lung tissues.

This study observed high expression of mTOR pathway effectors in fibrous papules and TSC-associated angiofibromas, suggesting that topical rapamycin might be an effective treatment for fibrous papules.

In this study with organ-cultured human scalp hair follicles, high mTORC1 activity correlated with gray/white hair and reduced pigmentation, while inhibiting mTORC1 with rapamycin increased hair growth and pigmentation, suggesting mTORC1 inhibition could be a strategy for treating hair depigmentation and loss.

This study found that inhibiting mTORC1 activity with rapamycin increased both hair growth and pigmentation in human scalp hair follicles, suggesting a potential strategy for treating greying and hair loss.

This study suggests that skin tumor cells in tuberous sclerosis complex may promote hamartoma morphogenesis by expressing and releasing higher levels of cathepsin B.

In this study, rapamycin was found to increase hair follicle pigmentation and prolong anagen duration in cultured human scalp hair follicles, suggesting it could be explored as an anti-greying agent.

This literature review highlights the critical importance of early dermatological diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis, focusing on its genetic basis, dermatological markers, and the role of genetic testing and multidisciplinary support, while discussing treatment options like mTOR inhibitors and their limitations.

This study found that a nutritional intervention in dogs led to changes in skin microbiome and immune-related gene expression, with reduced levels of certain fungal pathogens and a potential alleviation of atopic dermatitis symptoms.

This study found that a nutritional intervention in dogs can alleviate atopic dermatitis symptoms by modulating immune responses and altering skin microbiome composition, which includes reducing fungal diversity and the abundance of pathogenic species such as Malassezia pachydermatis.

This study found that mouse hair follicle stem cells use symmetric cell division for maintenance and fate determination, and identified Gata6 as a crucial factor for their differentiation.

This study observed that certain medications, including antipsychotics, non-sedating antidepressants, and finasteride, were associated with a higher risk of inpatient falls among older adults at a Veterans Affairs Medical Center compared to matched controls.

This thesis explores the synthesis and antiproliferative properties of phenylpropanoid sucrose esters, noting the absence of synthetic methods for most of this compound class due to their structural complexity.

This study analyzed the prevalence and demographic distribution of common skin diseases among 17,039 outpatients at Wonju Christian Hospital from 1995 to 1999, noting a decrease in certain conditions over time.

This review examines the process of cornification as a mode of programmed cell death and outlines how keratinocytes activate anti-cell death mechanisms to maintain epidermal homeostasis, but reports no new results.

This study found that 5% topical minoxidil significantly increased hair regrowth and improved psychosocial perceptions of hair loss in men with androgenetic alopecia compared to 2% topical minoxidil and placebo over 48 weeks.

This study found that while Eda and Edar proteins interact in vitro, their roles in dental development differ, with downless mutant mice showing distinct tooth defects compared to tabby mutants.

In this study, the researchers found that mammalian hair likely evolved through the adaptation of existing structural proteins, as similar cysteine-rich α-keratins were identified in chicken and lizard genomes, suggesting pre-mammalian origins.

This study found that epidermal VEGF is crucial for maintaining skin barrier function in mice and may help explain psoriasis development following skin trauma due to its effects on angiogenesis and hyperplasia.

This study found that prolonged Nrf2 activation in mouse keratinocytes led to enlarged sebaceous glands, hair loss, and cysts, suggesting a role for Nrf2 in conditions like MADISH.
