This article discusses the potential health risks associated with long-term use of finasteride and dutasteride for prostate and hair loss treatments, suggesting risks may include non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and other metabolic issues.

This study found that coactivating LIN28B and follistatin enhances cochlear supporting cells' ability to regenerate hair cells in neonatal mice by reprogramming them into progenitor-like cells.

This case study describes a patient with Turner syndrome who, despite lacking many classic features, presented with multiple autoimmune diseases, suggesting a link between complex X chromosome rearrangements and increased autoimmune risk.

This review highlights that microRNAs (miRNAs) play crucial roles in hair follicle development and cycling in cashmere goats, detailing recent advances in understanding their regulatory functions and potential applications in improving cashmere fiber quality and diagnosing hair disorders.

In this study, researchers found that the SLICK1 allele in cattle may alter local immune regulation, hair growth, and tissue remodeling, as indicated by differential gene expression pathways associated with immune and inflammatory responses in slick vs. nonslick Holsteins.

This commentary highlights the potential of using transgenic and genome-edited mouse models to validate findings from livestock genomic and multi-omic analyses, aiding in the understanding of economically significant animal traits.

This study observed that in the bald scalps of male patients with androgenetic alopecia, there was a significant downregulation of the PPAR signaling pathway, suggesting reduced adipogenesis potentially influencing hair cycling processes.

This study cataloged human type II hair keratins, detailing their expression and differentiation roles in hair follicles and comparing them with type I keratins to explore keratin-pairing principles.

This study highlights the importance of understanding the roles of hyperandrogenemia and insulin resistance in the development and progression of PCOS, emphasizing further research to clarify their mutual influence.

In this study, researchers developed a self-assembling hydrogel called RADA-PDGF2 and found it to accelerate wound closure in a mouse model due to its pro-proliferative and pro-migratory properties, without causing cytotoxicity or immunogenicity.

This study observed that in patients with diabetic foot ulcers, an imbalance in skin microbiota, with increased pathogenic bacteria, contributes to infection and poor wound healing, and suggests that modulating microbiota composition might improve healing outcomes.

This study found that the transcription factor Meis2 regulates the maturation and innervation of sensory neurons in mice, affecting their response to light touch.

This study used a probabilistic Boolean network model to explore hair follicle cell fate regulation and predicted that varying TGF-β levels, in coordination with BMP and TNF, can influence either apoptosis or cell proliferation during different follicle growth stages.

In this study, researchers found that mosaic PLCD1 hotspot variants, even without the recognized germline "risk allele," may be a rare but significant genetic cause of nevus trichilemmocysticus, warranting DNA testing and sensitive sequencing technologies for accurate diagnosis.

This study observed that nevus melanocytes do not exhibit signs of senescence, suggesting that their growth arrest is due to cell interactions and not directly caused by BRAF activation.

This study found that the absence of sebaceous glands may be an early factor in the development of keratosis pilaris, leading to hair shaft and skin barrier abnormalities, independent of filaggrin mutations.

This article reviews the multifaceted roles of vitamin D beyond bone health and notes its potential involvement in reducing risks of certain cancers and autoimmune diseases, but it presents no new clinical results.

This study found that mutations in the FGF5 gene are the primary genetic factor causing long hair in domestic cats through an autosomal recessive mechanism.

This study found that the CXXC5 protein is overexpressed in diabetic foot ulcer tissues, suppressing wound healing, and that the small molecule KY19334 accelerated healing in diabetic mice by activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

THAP1 gene changes do not affect DYT1 dystonia; finasteride may help reduce tics and OCD in Tourette syndrome.

This study found that numerous genes involved in hair growth, including 73 co-up-regulated ones, were differentially expressed in goat hair follicles during the hair growth cycle.

This study revealed key cellular dynamics and interactions during early embryonic mouse skin development, highlighting complex transitions from precursor states to diverse multilayered structures.

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

This study found that cortisone reductase deficiency is caused by inactivating mutations in the H6PD gene, affecting cortisol metabolism by preventing 11β-HSD1 enzyme function.

This study suggests that activating retinoic acid signalling can inhibit Wnt signalling and induce regression in certain skin tumors, providing potential therapeutic strategies for tumor regression.

This study found that regio-specific hydroxylation of cyclosporine A in Sebekia benihana is mediated by the cytochrome P450 hydroxylase CYP-sb21, suggesting potential biotechnological applications for hair growth promotion without immunosuppressive effects.

This review provides an in-depth analysis of the structure and function of c-kit activation, and its role in both normal physiological and pathological conditions, with no new research findings reported.

This study found that specific human hair keratins are differentially expressed in the hair follicle, suggesting a shared pathway of epithelial differentiation between hair cortex and nail plate cells.

This study found that a bacterial endophyte from Zea nicaraguensis effectively targets and colonizes plant root hair cells, promoting growth and solubilizing insoluble phosphorus for nutrient uptake.

This study identified Armillaria gallica and Armillaria cepistipes as the most common symbiotic species with Polyporus umbellatus in China, and reported genetic diversity among their genotypes.
