Abstract Topical hormone therapy with natural or synthetic ligands of nuclear hormone receptors such as glucocorticoids, vitamin D analogues and retinoids has a long and highly successful tradition in dermatology. Yet the dermatological potential of thyroid hormone receptor (TR) agonists has been widely ignored, despite abundant clinical, cell and molecular biology, mouse in vivo , and human skin and hair follicle organ culture data amply documenting a role of TR‐mediated signalling in skin physiology...

Abstract Microbial endocrinology is studying the response of microorganisms to hormones and neurohormones and the microbiota production of hormones‐like molecules. Until now, it was mainly applied to the gut and revealed that the intestinal microbiota should be considered as a real organ in constant and bilateral interactions with the whole human body. The skin harbors the second most abundant microbiome and contains an abundance of nerve terminals and capillaries, which in addition to keratinocytes,...

Abstract Anagen stage hair follicles (HFs) exhibit “immune privilege (IP)” from the level of the bulge downwards to the bulb. Both passive and active IP mechanisms protect HFs from physiologically undesired immune responses and limit immune surveillance. IP is relative, not absolute, and is primarily based on absent, or greatly reduced, intra‐follicular antigen presentation via MHC class I and II molecules, along with prominent expression of “no danger” signals like CD200, and the creation of an...

Abstract Hypertrophic scar and keloid are two types of fibroproliferative conditions that result from excessive extracellular matrix production. The underlying pathological mechanism is not entirely clear. Activation of the renin‐angiotensin system (RAS) is associated with fibrosis in various organs. RAS components including angiotensin II (Ang II), angiotensin AT1 and AT2 receptors, and angiotensin‐converting enzyme (ACE) are expressed in the skin and act independently from the plasma RAS. AT1...

Abstract The epidermal compartment of the skin is regenerated constantly by proliferation of epidermal keratinocytes. Differentiation of a subset of these keratinocytes allows the epidermis to retain its barrier properties. Regulation of keratinocyte fate – whether to remain proliferative or terminally differentiate – is complex and not fully understood. The objective of our study was to assess if DNA methylation changes contribute to the regulation of keratinocyte fate. We employed genome‐wide...
