Transient stimulation of TRPMLs enhance the functionality of hDPCs and facilitate hair growth in mice
Cell Signal. 2024 Apr 9;119:111167. doi: 10.1016/j.cellsig.2024.111167. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAutophagy is essential for eliminating aging and organelle damage that maintaining cellular homeostasis. However, the dysfunction of autophagy has been proven in hair loss such as AGA. Despite the crucial role of TRPML channels in regulating autophagy, their specific function in hair growth remains unclarified. To investigate the biological functions and associated molecular mechanisms of TRPMLs in hair growth, Animal experiments were conducted to confirm the function of TRLMLs activation in promoting hair growth.

Aged polystyrene microplastics exacerbate alopecia associated with tight junction injuries and apoptosis via oxidative stress pathway in skin
In this study, we have examined the effects of two types of polystyrene MPs (pristine and aged) on skin and hair follicle damage in mice. UV irradiation changed the chemical and physical properties of the aged MPs, including functional groups, surface roughness, and contact angles. In both in vivo and in vitro experiments, skin and cell injuries related to oxidative stress, apoptosis, tight junctions (TJs), alopecia, mitochondrial dysfunction, and other damages were observed. Mechanistically, MPs and aged MPs can induce TJs damage via the oxidative stress pathway and inhibition of antioxidant-related proteins, and this can...

Folliculotropic mycosis fungoides associated with follicular mucinosis: A case report and mini review
Clin Case Rep. 2024 Apr 5;12(4):e8731. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.8731. eCollection 2024 Apr.ABSTRACTKEY CLINICAL MESSAGE: F-MF is a rare non-classic variant of MF. In the case of hair loss, this should be a diagnostic consideration. The essence of the diagnosis of F-MF is a careful medical history, physical examination, and a combination of immunohistological and molecular analyses (Cureus. 2022; 14:e21231, Ann Saudi Med. 2012; 32:283, Oman Med J. 2012; 27:134, Int J Dermatol. 2016; 55:1396, Saudi Med J. 2018; 39:994 and Case Rep Oncol. 2018; 11:436).ABSTRACT: Mycosis fungoides (MF) is a primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma with mult...

Interleukin-15 is a hair follicle immune privilege guardian
J Autoimmun. 2024 Apr 5;145:103217. doi: 10.1016/j.jaut.2024.103217. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe autoimmunity-promoting cytokine, Interleukin-15 (IL-15), is often claimed to be a key pathogenic cytokine in alopecia areata (AA). Yet, rhIL-15 promotes human hair follicle (HF) growth ex vivo. We have asked whether the expression of IL-15 and its receptor (IL-15R) isoforms is altered in human AA and how IL-15 impacts on human HF immune privilege (HF-IP) in the presence/absence of interferon-γ (IFNγ), the well-documented key AA-pathogenic cytokine, and on hair regrowth after experimental AA induction in vivo.
