This study observed that while valproic acid treatment in children led to occasional mild clinical and laboratory side effects, no correlation with drug plasma levels was found.

This case report describes a 45-year-old woman with persistent fatigue and confusion following hypertension treatment, who developed pulmonary embolism four weeks later.

This case report discusses a 27-month-old girl with vitamin D-dependent rickets type II, who showed minor improvement in skeletal features and alopecia after high-dose oral calcium and vitamin D3 treatment.

This case report suggests that genetic evaluation for glucocorticoid resistance, such as the NR3C1 gene variant, is crucial for proper diagnosis and management of patients showing atypical signs of hypercortisolism.

In this case study, drospirenone use masked the diagnosis of a rare form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, suggesting a possible delay in detecting underlying endocrinopathies.

This study found that Prss53-mutated rabbits exhibited curved hair and skeletal dyskinesia, suggesting a link between Prss53 loss and these traits, potentially involving disrupted calcium metabolism.

This review examines the clinical features, causes, diagnosis, and treatment of Chrousos syndrome but reports no new experimental findings on this condition.

This study found that cutaneous pyridoxal 5'-phosphate hydrolase activity may be carried out by an enzyme different from the classical tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase in human and mouse skin.

In this study, zinc toxicosis in infant baboons was attributed to excessive environmental exposure, highlighting the importance of cage design in captivity and potential use of baboons as a developmental model.

In this animal study, zinc deficiency in mice was linked to disrupted hair cycles and impaired hair regrowth, which were reversed by zinc supplementation.

This study demonstrated that keratin can be effectively extracted from wool using alkaline solutions and that the extracted keratin maintains reactivity similar to that from other low-value sources like cattle hair.

This study found that the alkaline degradation process of hair keratin using nucleophilic reagents led to different proportions of reaction products compared to wool, particularly more lanthionine and lysinoalanine residues.

This study observed that different alkaline buffers had a significant impact on the volume of liquid consumed by fall armyworm larvae, emphasizing the importance of measuring imbibed volumes to reduce dose errors in bioassays.

In this study, the authors developed a modified alkaline-based proteomics protocol that improved the reproducibility of detecting hair proteins, potentially aiding future biomarker discovery.

This study evaluated the therapeutic response of an Afro-descendant patient with non-scarring alopecia after prolonged use of alkaline straighteners and mechanical traction, highlighting the susceptibility of Afro hair to chemical and mechanical damage due to its structure.

This study observed that root hair growth in Arabidopsis occurs episodically, with each growth period associated with external alkalization and internal acidification, suggesting a role for proton influx in facilitating polar growth.

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 in semi-coarse wool sheep of the Ukrainian Carpathian Mountain breed, changes in microflora and grease composition are linked to increased felting in wool, due to wetter, more alkaline fleece conditions that promote bacterial and mold growth and alter fatty acid balances.

This study found that direct co-culture of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells with regulatory T cells enhanced osteogenic gene expression, alkaline phosphatase activity, and matrix mineralization, suggesting Treg's potential in promoting bone regeneration by modulating BMSC mechanobiology through the ROCK-myosin signaling pathway.

This study in mice found that a zinc-deficient diet suppressed body weight gain and increased kidney and cecum tissue weight without decreasing serum alkaline phosphatase activity. Additionally, zinc deficiency caused alopecia and intestinal changes in C57BL/6J mice, potentially affecting nutritional status.

This study established a protocol to isolate and culture dermal papilla cells from human hair follicles, suggesting alkaline phosphatase activity as a key marker to differentiate them from human fibroblasts.

This study suggests that levamisole and finasteride can significantly reduce DHT levels in human gingival fibroblasts, potentially addressing phenytoin-induced gingival overgrowth.

This study found that the use of high pH chemical agents for hair straightening can cause significant damage to hair, including protein degradation and weakened fiber strength, and may lead to permanent scalp conditions like contact dermatitis and cicatricial alopecia.

This study found that RALF peptides, through liquid-liquid phase separation, form condensates with pectin and other proteins, playing a pivotal role in plant development and stress response regulation.

In this study, researchers developed a novel periodate oxidation method for extracting keratin micro-units from waste hair and feathers, achieving yields of 31.28% and 20.64% respectively, enhancing the stability of oil-in-water emulsions and suggesting potential for sustainable biomaterial production.

This article reviews zinc deficiency disorders, highlighting their clinical features and treatment with zinc therapy, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that Pseudomonas DL7 completely degraded 600 mg/L of Sunset Yellow FCF in 48 hours at pH 9, indicating potential for biomineralization of this dye.

Hair fibers may have a unique, non-protein sheath not previously identified.

This study used gas chromatography-mass spectrometry to simultaneously quantify androstenedione, dihydrotestosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone, testosterone, androsterone, etiocholanolone, progesterone, and pregnenolone in human hair, detecting differences in steroid concentrations between male and female samples.

This study found that intravenous high dose calcium infusions followed by high dose oral calcium effectively treated vitamin D dependent rickets type II, leading to complete biochemical and radiological healing and improved growth in two patients.
