Hair increases in size when it absorbs water, and treatments like bleaching affect how much water it can take in.

In this study, extracting internal lipids from Caucasian hair fibers led to decreased water permeability, influenced by the fluidity of lipids.

This review discusses various strategies to enhance drug delivery through the skin barrier, highlighting liposomes as promising carriers for increased dermal concentrations in topical therapies, but reports no new research results.

This review reports on the dual aspect of fullerene in skincare, highlighting its beneficial antioxidant properties as well as potential toxicity and skin cell reactions, while identifying areas for future research.

This review found that lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, are beneficial for managing metabolic and endocrine abnormalities in obese patients with PCOS and suggests combining these with anti-obesity agents for enhanced effects.

This study found that nanostructured lipid carriers with clobetasol propionate significantly enhance follicular drug delivery compared to commercial cream, and manual massage further doubles follicular retention.

This study found that dutasteride-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers coated with a stearic acid-chitosan oligomer are stable, less cytotoxic, and suitable for topical delivery to promote hair growth.

This study found that using monoolein cubic phase nanoparticles with an entrapped hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin/minoxidil complex increased minoxidil skin permeation, but minoxidil retention in the skin was higher with a traditional solution.

This review discusses the critical parameters for MALDI IMS sample preparation in skin analysis and highlights its applications in wound healing, neoplasia, and infection research, but reports no new clinical results.

This article reviews the social and functional impact of eyebrow loss and highlights the limited treatment options compared to scalp alopecia, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that a novel proniosomal gel formulation of CoQ10 improved antioxidant levels and provided better skin protection against UV radiation compared to a conventional CoQ10 gel in animal models.

This study found that the HPCH-based formulation P-08–016 may facilitate finasteride deposition in the dermis, potentially offering an alternative to systemic therapy by minimizing systemic absorption.

Nanocarriers could improve how drugs are delivered through the skin but require more research to overcome challenges and ensure safety.

This study found that bleached hair showed optimal protein structural integrity and tensile strength at pH 5, with significant changes in cross-linking, water content, and diameter at more alkaline or acidic levels.

This study found that coconut oil impedes hair hydration more effectively than soybean oil by penetrating deeper, and suggested a new model for intermediate filament assembly in hair.

This review discusses the causes, diagnosis, and treatment of pediatric alopecia, emphasizing early diagnosis and considering holistic approaches, but reports no new clinical results.

This review outlines the histological structures of the skin, highlighting species and regional differences in dermal absorption and obstacles encountered in toxicological assessments due to epidermal thickness variability, contact dermatitis reactions, and stem cell vulnerabilities.

This study found that the culture conditions, not species-specific differences, determined whether sika deer dermal papilla cells adopted a 3D spheroidal or 2D monolayer growth pattern, influencing their hair-inducing ability.

In this study, the researchers developed and optimized a curcumin nanocrystal gel to enhance skin permeability, reporting improved dissolution properties and antiproliferative effects on cell lines, suggesting it as a promising topical delivery system.

This case report highlights that improper application techniques, such as scalp occlusion, can increase systemic absorption of minoxidil and lead to unwanted side effects like hypertrichosis.

Ethosomes improve finasteride delivery through skin for hair loss treatment.

This study found that topical minoxidil solutions showed the highest skin permeation at 3-4% concentrations, with crystallization occurring at a 5% concentration due to vehicle component evaporation.

This review highlights the need for methodologies to understand and quantify drug penetration into hair follicles as significant drug pathways, noting this area lacks comprehensive articles and reports no new results.

This study found that white hair fibers have lower lipid content and different water absorption dynamics compared to brown hair fibers, suggesting differences in their barrier functions.

This study used theoretical calculations to show that phosphates strongly bind to cerium dioxide surfaces in various stable configurations, with spectral signatures identifiable in the infrared and Raman spectra, informing future experimental efforts in controlling the enzymatic activity of ceria nanoparticles.

This review highlights that hair's chemical bonds, particularly disulfide bonds, are not homogeneous, as previously thought, but instead vary in response to different cosmetic treatments, suggesting a need for further exploration of ionic bonds and hydrophobic interactions.

This study found that enzymatic phosphorylation of hair keratin increased its capacity to adsorb cationic components like methylene blue and may have practical implications for hair care products.

This review highlights that unresolved inflammation is a major issue in diabetic foot ulcers and discusses emerging biomaterials-based strategies to modulate the inflammatory response, potentially aiding in tissue regeneration and healing in these chronic wounds.

This study found that human hair keratin coatings enhanced adhesion and proliferation of L929 mouse fibroblasts compared to uncoated and collagen type 1 surfaces, suggesting keratin's potential as a surface coating for cell cultures.

This review discusses the off-label use of SSRIs to manage inappropriate sexual behavior in elderly dementia patients and highlights the unclear risk of post-SSRI sexual dysfunction, noting a need for high-quality clinical trials.
