This review summarizes the roles of PDGF and its receptors in cell development and wound healing, reporting no new research findings; the authors emphasize PDGF's diverse biological functions.

This study identified two types of hard alpha-keratin filament assemblies in developing human hair follicles, which may help investigate the structural framework of mammalian keratin appendages.

This study found that combining AMD-3100 with FK506 in subimmunosuppressive doses enhanced stem cell release from bone marrow, resulting in 25% faster epithelialization in excisional wounds in rats and mice.

In a cell-free test setting, this study found that a novel saw palmetto extract effectively inhibited the 5α-reductase type II enzyme, showing promising bioactivity comparable to finasteride for promoting prostate health.

This study found that a novel saw palmetto supercritical CO2 extract effectively inhibits 5α-reductase type II in vitro, suggesting its potential for promoting prostate health in benign prostatic hyperplasia.

This article reviews botulinum toxin use in men, focusing on anatomical and treatment differences, with no new clinical results.

In this mouse study, NF-κB was shown to play a role in hair follicle cycling and morphogenesis, with specific activity patterns differing by hair type and involving noncanonical signaling for zigzag hair bending.

Repetin is a protein involved in skin and hair development, binding calcium and compensating for other proteins when needed.

This study found that male 5α-reductase 2 knockout mice showed deficits in social dominance behaviors and reduced dopamine receptor binding in a brain region related to social ranking.

This study reports the discovery of LX-38, a new high-affinity non-steroidal antagonist that could provide the therapeutic benefits of current BPH and AGA treatments without the hormonal side effects, utilizing a distinct "Orthogonal T-Stacking" scaffold for binding.

The authors concluded that intralesional triamcinolone acetonide may benefit patients with patch-type alopecia areata, but the evidence is limited due to small, bias-prone studies with variations in treatment protocols.

In this study, researchers found that K17−/− mice suffered more severe hair follicle damage but showed reduced epidermal inflammation after ionizing radiation, with K17's absence leading to aberrant cell cycle progression due to altered p53 genome binding and reduced B-Myb degradation.

In this study, researchers identified the c.296C>T (p.T99I) variant in the KRT32 gene, which co-segregates with loose anagen hair syndrome, and found it decreases binding affinity to KRT82, potentially weakening hair anchorage.

This study found that as few as 90 base pairs of the K5 promoter directed keratinocyte-preferred expression in stratified epithelia, especially in epidermis, hair follicles, and tongue, showing cell type specificity.

This study found that inhibiting the interaction between CXXC5 and Dishevelled could stimulate hair regrowth in mouse models by enhancing WNT/β-catenin signaling, suggesting a potential therapeutic strategy for hair loss involving compounds that block this interaction, such as interfering short peptides.

This study reports the discovery of LX-38, a novel non-steroidal drug candidate that may offer safer treatment for conditions like Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia by avoiding hormonal side effects associated with current therapies.

This paper reviews the role of androgens in human skin function and the challenges in developing treatments for androgen-associated disorders, reporting no new experimental results.

This study identified a novel I268T mutation in the vitamin D receptor that reduces its function, contributing to hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets, and found that a potent vitamin D analog could improve receptor function.

This study observed that surfactants in cosmetic treatments can bind to keratinous tissues like hair and nails, affecting their tensile properties and possibly leading to deterioration depending on the specific detergents used.

This study observed that extracellular ATP (eATP) levels outside Arabidopsis root cells vary inversely with the expression of AtAPY1 and AtAPY2 apyrases, suggesting these enzymes regulate eATP concentrations crucial for root growth.

This study found that, despite the unchanged total level of 18-MEA, deletion of the Sox21 gene disrupts its attachment to the hair cuticle, increases cholesterol sulphate levels, and differentially affects ceramide composition.

This study evaluated formulations of a cream containing turmeric and ginger extracts for inhibiting underarm hair growth, finding that the formulation with 15% stearic acid and 3% triethanolamine had the most optimal physical characteristics and potential for cosmetic development.

This study showed that the zinc finger protein GIS3 is important for root hair growth in Arabidopsis by regulating RHD2 and RHD4 genes, with application of ethylene and cytokinin helping restore root hair presence in mutated variants.

This study found that in a transgenic mouse model, a modified form of β-catenin inhibited normal hair follicle development and promoted epidermal cyst formation, revealing distinct effects on Wnt signaling.

This study found that a truncated region of the K5 promoter directs expression in stratified epithelia, particularly in epidermis, hair follicles, and tongue, potentially involving specific keratinocyte nuclear proteins in regulation.

In this study, ectoderm-targeted transgenic mice with glucocorticoid receptor overexpression exhibited multiple epithelial defects, suggesting the role of NF-kappaB and p63 dysfunction in ectodermal dysplasia syndromes.

This study found that specific mutations in the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 may significantly alter its structure and affect how it binds to certain inhibitors, but experimental studies are needed to confirm potential clinical implications.

This review discusses a strategy using ovarian biology to better understand and manage polycystic ovary syndrome but reports no new research findings.

This study found that Physcion from Polygonum multiflorum may be an effective natural 5α-reductase inhibitor for treating androgenic alopecia by enhancing hair growth and improving follicle morphology in laboratory settings.

In this study, researchers identified a temperature-sensitive mutation in the FERONIA gene of plants that prevents root hair formation at elevated temperatures, highlighting its role in maintaining root hair growth and response to plant hormones.
