Effects of the Isolated and Combined Ablation of Growth Hormone and IGF-1 Receptors in Somatostatin Neurons

Fernanda M. Chaves et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the redundant role of GHR and IGF1R signaling in SST neurons in the control of GH secretion. Furthermore, it highlights the importance of GH/IGF-1 negative feedback mechanisms on SST neurons for the establishment of sex differences in hepatic gene expression.

Inhibition of Shh Signaling through MAPK Activation Controls Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia

Iain S. Haslam et al.

Summary: Chemotherapy-induced hair loss (CIA) is a major issue in clinical oncology. Research has shown that downregulation of the Shh signaling pathway in hair follicles is a critical early event in CIA. Inhibition of Shh signaling leads to hair loss, while activation of the MAPK pathway is a key upstream event that can be manipulated to rescue CIA. Targeting the intrafollicular MAPK-Shh axis may provide a promising strategy for managing CIA.

Growth Hormone and the Human Hair Follicle

Elijah J. Horesh et al.

Summary: Research on human hair follicles has revealed interesting findings about the role of growth hormone in neurohormone physiology, showing that excessive levels of GH can lead to skin pathology. Understanding the presence of GH receptors in hair follicles opens up new possibilities for exploring the nonclassical functions of this core neurohormone in human skin physiology.

Resident human dermal γ6T-cells operate as stress-sentinels: Lessons from the hair follicle

Youhei Uchida et al.

Summary: Human dermal γδ T cells in the skin act as stress sentinels and are involved in autoimmune responses, recognizing and promoting autoimmune reactions towards stressed hair follicles, leading to disorders such as alopecia areata.

The Role of Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) in the Control of Neuroendocrine Regulation of Growth

Sarmed Al-Samerria et al.

Summary: The neuroendocrine system in mammals plays a crucial role in regulating body growth and cellular metabolism through the communication between the hypothalamus and pituitary. Growth hormone (GH) is considered the master regulator of somatic development and is involved in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism via well-defined signaling pathways. The role of IGF-1 in regulating the GH-axis for somatic growth and metabolic homeostasis is essential for maintaining physiological functions.
