This study found that most potassium channel blockers increased the activity of slowly adapting mechanoreceptors in rat whisker pads, while the opener NS1619 decreased their evoked activity.

This study demonstrated that AtVLN4 plays a role in root hair growth by regulating actin organization in a calcium-dependent manner.

This study found that in lamivudine-resistant hepatitis B patients, tenofovir significantly reduced HBV DNA levels faster and more consistently than adefovir, reaching undetectable levels in all treated patients by 44 weeks.

This article reviews the genetic diversity, clinical symptoms, diagnosis, and prevention strategies of feline calicivirus in domestic cats, but reports no new clinical results; it emphasizes the importance of vaccination and proper hygiene.

This piece marks the tenth anniversary of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery and highlights the addition of 14 new diplomates from diverse countries, while reporting no new clinical findings.

This study characterized keratin-based biomaterials that self-assemble into hydrogels, demonstrating their potential to achieve hemostasis in a lethal liver injury model through specific biomaterial-receptor interactions.

This study presents the N‑K Healing Series, a geometric approach to medicine that claims to restore tissue geometry, eliminate pain, and regenerate burns more effectively than traditional treatments, with simulations demonstrating significant improvements in healing outcomes and reduced scarring.

This study found that hair follicle-specific keratins can form different structural assemblies depending on ionic conditions, with hair cortex keratins requiring physiological salt conditions to form intermediate filaments.

This study identifies six novel keratin genes from the chromosome 17q21.2 region, suggesting their association with hair follicles, while all 27 keratin genes in the domain have been characterized transcriptionally.

This study observed that vitamin D receptor knockout mice exhibit impaired epidermal differentiation and progressive hair loss, suggesting the importance of the vitamin D receptor in normal skin and hair follicle development.

This letter to the editor discusses a case of delayed-onset pachyonychia congenita linked to a new mutation in keratin 6b but presents no new research findings.

This study found that simvastatin interfered with insulin-induced VEGF expression and keratinocyte proliferation during skin repair in mice, effects that could be reversed by mevalonate.

This study found that the repressive histone mark H2AK119ub links inhibitory FGF signals with the quiescent state in hair follicle stem cells, revealing a signaling-epigenetic axis crucial for maintaining stem cell quiescence and tissue homeostasis.

In this study, ATP-sensitive potassium channel openers, diazoxide and minoxidil, reduced scratching in cholestatic mice, suggesting these channels may play a role in cholestatic itch, while the channel blocker glibenclamide increased scratching behavior.

Oxygen levels can drop during liver transplant if bypass pressures are too high, but other reasons should be checked first.

In this study, specific genetic polymorphisms in the KRT71 gene were associated with hairless and curly phenotypes in Sphynx and Devon Rex cats.

In this study, researchers identified a cluster of hair-specific keratin-associated protein genes within the 21q22.3 region, revealing a novel transcription mechanism involving TSPEAR/C21orf29 that may bypass typical transcriptional termination sites.

This study examined treatments for emesis in young Alexander disease patients, finding that 95% responded positively to valproic acid, which was more effective than anti-reflux medications or cyproheptadine, though some adverse effects require monitoring.

KRTAP10 proteins help form the hair shaft's tough outer layer by interacting with specific hair keratins.

This study found elevated tissue levels of DKK-1 in patients with both androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata compared to controls, suggesting DKK-1 as a potential therapeutic target for these conditions.

This study found that the absence of Sgk3 in mice leads to impaired hair follicle maturation, characterized by reduced cell proliferation, increased apoptosis, and premature regression.

This study found that the hairless gene in mice has a more extensive role in development than previously thought, as indicated by its expression in various tissues and associated abnormalities in hr/hr mutants.

This study demonstrates that keratin K2 is crucial for proper keratinocyte structure and function in specific mouse skin areas, and its deficiency leads to cellular aggregates and skin abnormalities.

This study found that rat hair follicle stem cells can be effectively transfected with VEGF 165 using lentivirus vectors, suggesting their potential use in developing tissue-engineered skin with improved vascularization.

This case study highlights a pediatric instance of eruptive vellus hair cysts partially responding to calcipotriene cream, aiming to remind clinicians about this often overlooked condition.

This study found that human hair keratin can serve as a matrix for skin structure restoration, as observed in rats where the graft was replaced by newly formed collagenous fibers over six weeks.

This study found that the vertex/occiput ratios of hair density and diameter in prepubertal children may serve as reference values to identify androgenetic alopecia with high probability.

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 the ALAVAX complex, containing 5-ALA and GHK peptide, may increase hair count in male pattern hair loss patients over 6 months without adverse events.
