In this study, researchers developed an environmentally friendly hair coating from casein proteins and tannic acid, enhancing the tensile strength of virgin Asian hair by approximately 21% compared to untreated hair, while maintaining elasticity.

This review discusses the applications of biopolymeric composites in controlled drug release, tissue engineering, and wound healing, but reports no new experimental results, highlighting the need for further development and analysis.

This study found that prevelex coatings on microwell array devices enhanced the formation of uniform cell spheroids and enabled the development of hair follicles in tissue engineering applications.

This study suggests that 4-META resin may be more effective than cyanoacrylate for promoting wound healing in rats, as the wounds were covered by epithelial tissue faster with 4-META resin.

This study observed that new trienone compounds consistently showed higher 5alpha-reductase inhibitory activity compared to corresponding dienones across various biological models.

This study found that topical diphenylcyclopropenone was effective in treating severe alopecia areata but had a high relapse rate and was often accompanied by side effects like eczema and lymphadenopathy.

This study found that a synthetic polyphenol, dimeric 1,2,4-benzenetriol (diBTO), can coat gray hair and gradually oxidize, creating a resistant brown layer similar to apple browning, which offers a practical hair dyeing solution that withstands washing and reduces the need for long dyeing sessions.

This study investigated the ability of a human hair keratin dimer to absorb the pollutants diclofenac and perfluorobutane sulfonate, finding high binding affinities that suggest potential for hair-derived materials in water filtration technologies.

This study explored a keratin, sodium alginate, and carboxymethyl chitosan hydrogel modified with tannic acid and found it to have promising wound-healing qualities, including similar elasticity to human skin, antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, and effective water retention. These attributes suggest potential applications in biomedical engineering.

This study found that several new pregnane derivatives, especially steroids 16 and 19, demonstrated higher antiandrogenic activity on male hamster models than the commonly used finasteride.

This study reports that polyunsaturated fatty acids, particularly arachidonic acid alone and combined with eicosapentaenoic acid, may stimulate hair growth and enhance hair growth factors in mice and human dermal cells.

This study found that among the tested analogs, compound 4e was the most effective in inhibiting wax esters in vivo in the Golden Syrian hamster ear model.

This review discusses recent advances in polydopamine-based biomaterials and their growing potential in personalized medicine, but reports no new experimental results; the authors highlight both opportunities and challenges for future applications.

This study found that alginate beads containing monoolein demonstrated promising potential for managing wet wounds by better absorbing excess exudate and delivering adenosine locally, favoring drug localization in damaged porcine skin compared to an aqueous solution without affecting skin viability.

This review discusses PUFA-rich oil seeds and microencapsulation techniques but reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight microencapsulation as a promising method to protect PUFAs from oxidation.

This study found that artificial copolyamide fiber implantation was generally safe and aesthetically pleasing for patients with androgenetic alopecia who failed conventional therapies, though mild complications like folliculitis were noted in some cases.

Some natural compounds might help hair grow.

This study reported that newly synthesized nonsteroidal compounds were effective at inhibiting prostatic 5 alpha reductase isozyme 2, especially the compound with an N, N-diisopropylcarbamoyl substituent, suggesting potential for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia.

This study found that camel hair from Afif has suitable physical and chemical properties for textile production and its characteristics can be enhanced with chemical additives like acetic acid.

This study discusses the potential of microbial exopolysaccharides as safer cosmetic ingredients compared to synthetic chemicals like parabens and BHA, which may cause skin damage and cancer; exopolysaccharides offer benefits like antimicrobial and antioxidative effects without harmful impacts.

In this study, a method using riboflavin phosphate, citric acid, and polyols successfully optimized protein cross-linking in hair of all colors through visible light-mediated photo-cross-linking, improving the mechanical properties and hair-setting effects without the influence of hair color.

This study compared the effectiveness of different thread types in improving collagen profiles in UVB-exposed aging model rats, finding that PCL threads were more effective than PDO and PLLA in enhancing dermal collagen characteristics.

This review highlights the potential of marine macroalgae as a largely untapped resource for developing new active ingredients in the cosmetic industry, emphasizing their role in supporting circular economy models by utilizing waste from other industrial sectors.

This study suggests that the dipeptide Pro-Ile has FGF18-like activity, can penetrate model human epidermis, and may have potential as a cosmetic ingredient for skin and hair regulation.

This study found that the shampoo formulation with Polyurethane-14 and AMP-acrylates copolymer improved curl definition and reduced frizz and volume in natural and curly hair tresses compared to the control.

In this pilot study, PDLLA scalp microinjections showed improvement in physician-rated Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale scores over 12-24 weeks for 90% of patients with non-scarring alopecia, with no serious adverse events reported, although findings remain preliminary due to methodological limitations.

This study introduces a polyherbal hair removal cream, reporting its effectiveness in inhibiting hair growth while minimizing skin irritation across various skin types, suggesting a natural alternative to traditional hair removal methods.

In this study, carboxymethylalanyl disulfide keratin was shown to effectively prevent hair damage during repeated bleaching and permanent waving treatments.

In this study, PEGDE above 10,000 μg/mouse caused subcutaneous toxicity including ulceration in mice, but did not affect liver, spleen, or kidney tissues.
