Transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 promotes cutaneous wound healing by regulating keratinocytes and fibroblasts migration and collagen production in fibroblasts in a mouse model
Transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4), a cation ion channel, is expressed in different cells, and it regulates the development of different diseases. We recently found a high TRPV4 expression in the wounded skin area. However, the role of TRPV4 in cutaneous wound healing is unknown. (Source: Journal of Dermatological Science)

Management of the human hair follicle microbiome by a synthetic odorant
Human scalp hair follicles (HFs) engage in olfactory receptor (OR)-dependent chemosensation. Activation of olfactory receptor family 2 subfamily AT member 4 (OR2AT4) by the synthetic, sandalwood-like odorant Sandalore ® up-regulated HF antimicrobial peptide expression of dermcidin (DCD), thought to be produced exclusively by sweat and sebaceous glands.

Alopecia areata: What ’s new in the epidemiology, comorbidities, and pathogenesis?
Alopecia areata (AA) is a common, acquired, and nonscarring type of hair loss that affects people of every generation and is intractable in severe and relapsing cases. Patients with AA, especially those with greater scalp involvement, have poor health-related quality-of-life scores. Purpose: Following our previous review article in the April 2017 issue of the Journal of Dermatological Science, we aim to provide a pair of review articles on recent progress in multidisciplinary approaches to AA. Main findings: We found more than 1,800 publications on AA from July 2016 to December 2022. (Source: Journal of Dermatological Science)

Presence of microfibril associated glycoprotein 4 and type V collagen and the possible absence of fibrillin-1 in bead-like structures in elastofibroma
Elastofibroma is a relatively rare benign tumor that occurs mostly in the subscapular regions, as well as in the olecranon, gluteal, and thigh regions [1]. Although the pathogenesis of this disease remains unknown, repeated mechanical friction may play a crucial role. Accordingly, we analyzed the unique bead-like structures (BLSs) of the elastic components in elastofibromas, which were morphologically distinct from the elastic fibers in the dermis.

Invention of automated numerical algorithm adopting binarization for the evaluation of scalp hair coverage: an image analysis providing a substitute for phototrichogram and global photography assessment for hair diseases
The efficacy of therapeutic modalities for hair disease can be evaluated globally by photo assessment and more precisely by phototrichogram (PTG). However, the latter procedure is laborious, time consuming, subject to inter-observer variation, and requires hair clipping. (Source: Journal of Dermatological Science)

A20 ameliorates advanced glycation end products-induced melanogenesis by inhibiting NLRP3 in flammasome activation in human dermal fibroblasts
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) promote melanogenesis through activating NLRP3 in flammasome in fibroblasts. Although A20 has been highlighted to inhibit NLRP3 inflammasome activation, its roles and mechanisms remain elusive in photoaging-associated pigmentation. (Source: Journal of Dermatological Science)

Exosomes from human adipose –derived mesenchymal stem cells attenuate localized scleroderma fibrosis by the let-7a-5p/TGF-βR1/Smad axis
Inflammation and fibrosis of the skin are characteristics of localized scleroderma (LS). Emerging evidence has demonstrated that exosomes from human adipose tissue –derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSC-Exo) could alleviate skin fibrosis. (Source: Journal of Dermatological Science)
