research Exosomes and Their Bioengineering Strategies in the Cutaneous Wound Healing and Related Complications: Current Knowledge and Future Perspectives
Engineered exosomes show promise for improving wound healing but face challenges in clinical use.
research Folliculin, the Product of the Birt-Hogg-Dube Tumor Suppressor Gene, Interacts with the Adherens Junction Protein p0071 to Regulate Cell-Cell Adhesion
The protein folliculin, involved in a rare disease, works with another protein to control how cells stick together and their organization, and changes in this interaction can lead to disease symptoms.
research Regeneration of skin appendages and nerves: current status and further challenges
Progress has been made in skin and nerve regeneration, but more research is needed to improve methods and ensure safety.
research Exosomal Micro RNAs Derived from Dermal Papilla Cells Mediate Hair Follicle Stem Cell Proliferation and Differentiation
Exosomes from dermal papilla cells help hair growth by making hair follicle stem cells multiply and change.
research Frontal fibrosing alopecia: reflections and hypotheses on aetiology and pathogenesis
FFA's causes may include environmental triggers and genetic factors.
research Prostaglandin D2 Inhibits Wound-Induced Hair Follicle Neogenesis through the Receptor, Gpr44
Prostaglandin D2 blocks new hair growth after skin injury through the Gpr44 receptor.
research The dark art of light measurement: accurate radiometry for low-level light therapy
Most low-level light therapy studies did not accurately report how light was measured, affecting treatment reliability.

Some systemic treatments work for nail psoriasis but can have serious side effects.
research The Paradox of p53: What, How, and Why?
The p53 protein has complex, sometimes contradictory functions, including tumor suppression and promoting cell survival.
research Immune deficiency–related enteropathy-lymphocytopenia-alopecia syndrome results from tetratricopeptide repeat domain 7A deficiency
A deficiency in the TTC7A gene causes immune problems, gut issues, and hair loss.
research Control of Human Hair Growth by Neurotrophins: Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Inhibits Hair Shaft Elongation, Induces Catagen, and Stimulates Follicular Transforming Growth Factor β2 Expression
Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) slows down hair growth and promotes hair follicle regression.
research Autoimmune Polyglandular Syndrome Type 1 in Russian Patients: Clinical Variants and Autoimmune Regulator Mutations
Genetic screening is crucial for accurately diagnosing APS-1 due to its varied symptoms.
research Epidermal stem cells: practical perspectives and potential uses
Epidermal stem cells could lead to new treatments for skin and hair disorders.
research Hair Keratin Associated Proteins: Characterization of a Second High Sulfur KAP Gene Domain on Human Chromosome 2111In fond memory of Dr Peter Steinert.
A second domain of high sulfur KAP genes on chromosome 21q23 is crucial for hair structure.
research External light activates hair follicle stem cells through eyes via an ipRGC–SCN–sympathetic neural pathway
Light can turn on hair growth cells through a nerve path starting in the eyes.
research A 12-week treatment with the long-acting glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist liraglutide leads to significant weight loss in a subset of obese women with newly diagnosed polycystic ovary syndrome
Liraglutide caused significant weight loss in some obese women with PCOS, especially those with severe obesity and insulin resistance.
research Male sex hormones, aging, and inflammation
Adequate testosterone is crucial for men's health and quality of life, but its decline with age needs more research.
research Review article: dermatological complications of immunosuppressive and anti-TNF therapy in inflammatory bowel disease
Immunosuppressive and anti-TNF therapies in IBD patients can increase the risk of skin cancer and cause various skin issues.
research Unmet Medical Needs in Chronic, Non-communicable Inflammatory Skin Diseases
There are still challenges in diagnosing and treating chronic skin diseases, but there is hope for future improvements.
research Oral minoxidil treatment for hair loss: A review of efficacy and safety
Oral minoxidil promotes hair growth but may cause side effects; needs monitoring.
research Improvement of endothelial function with metformin and rosiglitazone treatment in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Metformin and rosiglitazone improve blood vessel function in women with PCOS, with metformin also reducing insulin resistance and testosterone levels.
research Clinical perspectives on the age-related increase of immunosuppressive activity
Aging and chronic inflammation weaken the immune system, increasing cancer and infection risks.
research Profiling the Response of Human Hair Follicles to Ultraviolet Radiation
UVB radiation harms hair growth and health, causing cell death and other changes in human hair follicles.
research Post-transcriptional Regulation of Keratinocyte Progenitor Cell Expansion, Differentiation and Hair Follicle Regression by miR-22
miR-22, a type of microRNA, controls hair growth and its overproduction can cause hair loss, while its absence can speed up hair growth.
research Mutant laboratory mice with abnormalities in hair follicle morphogenesis, cycling, and/or structure: An update
The document concludes that mouse models are crucial for studying hair biology and that all mutant mice may have hair growth abnormalities that require detailed analysis to identify.
