This study found that desmosomal cadherin desmoglein 3 loses its rigidity upon Ca2+ removal, regardless of desmosome functional state, suggesting a central role for signaling in hyper-adhesion.

This research highlights the use of 3D human skin model reconstructs as a promising method to study human skin biology, showing that these models replicate natural melanocyte and melanoma behaviors accurately.

In this study, no significant association was found between the VDR FokI gene polymorphism and alopecia areata, though further research in diverse populations is needed.

This study found that 3-Deoxysappanchalcone may stimulate hair growth in mice by promoting proliferation of hair follicle dermal papilla cells through WNT/β-catenin and STAT signaling modulation.

This study suggests that TRPV3 may play a key role in dry skin-related itch, indicating potential for TRPV3 antagonists in treating pruritus resistant to histamine H1R antagonists.

This study found that after 24 weeks of DPCP treatment for alopecia areata, there was a significant increase in new capillaries and hair regrowth detectable by videocapillaroscopy.

This review discusses the role of vitamin D in various diseases, including its involvement in dermatoses, and reports on vitamin D status in patients with seborrheic dermatitis without new clinical results.

This report suggests that for prostate cancer patients with cardiovascular disease, prescribing the GnRH antagonist degarelix may reduce cardiac events compared to using GnRH agonists, although prescribing should consider potential cardiac risks, particularly in patients with pre-existing conditions or older age.

The researchers identified a pathogenic variant in the SRD5A2 gene among siblings with 46,XY disorder of sexual development, highlighting the importance of comprehensive genetic testing in diagnosis and management.

This study found that finasteride reduces microvascular density and VEGF expression in the seminal vesicle tissue of rats.

This study suggests that lithocholic acid may enhance hair regeneration in alopecia by activating vitamin D receptors in human dermal papilla cells.

This study describes a case of vitamin D resistant rickets in a young girl due to end organ unresponsiveness, highlighting a possible new subtype of the disorder with distinct clinical features.

This case report describes a 32-month-old girl with a newly identified pediatric disorder linked to a de novo mutation in the ODC1 gene, mirroring symptoms seen in a transgenic mouse model.

This study found that a gain-of-function mutation in the TRPV3 channel leads to altered hair development in DS-Nh mice by affecting the anagen and telogen phases, highlighting TRPV3's role in hair growth regulation.

In this prospective phase II clinical trial, researchers are investigating whether adding dutasteride to combined androgen blockade can improve the response rate and clinical outcomes for patients with androgen receptor-positive recurrent or metastatic salivary duct carcinoma.

This case report describes a 54-year-old woman with familial dyskeratotic comedones who experienced slight improvement in her skin lesions after three months of treatment with topical retinoids and urea cream.

The authors concluded that VSCAPSI, a videodermoscopy-based assessment tool, provides evidence for early diagnosis, differential diagnosis, follow-up, and screening of scalp psoriasis.

In this study, gene therapy using a VDR-expressing adenoviral vector significantly improved hair growth and reduced cyst formation in Vdr -KO rats with alopecia linked to type II rickets, whereas control treatments did not show these effects.

This study found that both finasteride and dutasteride significantly reduced L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia in a rat model of Parkinson's disease, with dutasteride showing greater effectiveness at lower doses.

This study found that the purified compound VB1 from Vitex negundo seeds may reduce UVA-induced skin aging by targeting MAPK1 and demonstrated its potential in mice.

This review discusses the role of RDH12 in vision, its structural and functional aspects, and related disease mechanisms, but reports no new clinical results; it aims to support therapy development for inherited retinal dystrophies.

In this study, androgen was found to increase VEGF expression, but not VEGFR-2, in rat corpus cavernous, with DHT likely playing a key role.

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.

A specific gene mutation is linked to a hereditary form of dystonia that responds well to certain medications.

This paper presents an RGB video microscopic system to monitor optical properties of hair shafts and follicles in vitro, but reports no new clinical results.

This study identified a new isozyme, 5α-reductase-3, at the mRNA level in human prostate tissue, but its protein expression and cellular localization remain unclear.

This study found that vitamin D regulation plays a crucial role in connecting metabolic and cardiovascular conditions, influencing gene expression related to these disorders in both kidney and heart tissues.

This review discusses the relationship between vitamin D and various skin diseases but reports no new clinical results, emphasizing the need to assess and correct vitamin D deficiencies.
