The document explains how hair is studied in forensics to identify its source and its role in criminal investigations.

This review discusses the development of electrospun nanofibrous scaffolds for promoting angiogenesis in tissue engineering but notes that their clinical application beyond bone and skin repair is still limited.

This review explores theories on the evolution of hair from synapsid scales and glands, proposing mechanisms supported by comparative studies, but reports no new experimental findings.

This study found that certain tandem repeats predict darker hair color across diverse ancestry groups and can contribute to a polygenic score for hair color, independent of SNP variation.

Different races and genders have unique skin and hair issues, requiring specialized care and more research for effective treatment.

This article discusses how drug molecules integrate into hair fibers, focusing on biological transport mechanisms and physicochemical factors, but reports no new experimental findings.

This chapter reviews the anatomy and structure of hair, discusses hair damage and analyses, and explores methods for processing hair changes, but presents no new research findings.

This mini-review discusses human hair follicle development and summarizes genetic disorders linked to abnormalities in hair follicle morphogenesis, structure, or regeneration, but reports no new experimental results.

This study reports that expressed mouse type Ia and type IIa trichocyte keratins were successfully assembled into intermediate filaments in vitro, while also suggesting that disulfide bond cross linking enhances their stability.

This review discusses the functions of SARS-CoV-2 non-structural proteins in facilitating immune evasion and highlights possible therapeutic strategies, reporting no new clinical results.

This study found that the phytosterols β-sitosterol, stigmasterol, and campesterol have low-to-negligible inhibitory activity against steroidal 5α-reductase type 2 compared to the synthetic inhibitor dutasteride, with β-sitosterol showing the highest activity among the tested phytosterols.

This study found that keratin intermediate filaments in the hair of GAN patients are altered, showing decreased diffraction signals and increased stiffness, strength, and extensibility.

This study observed that the molecular structure of keratins in hair fibres' discrete transition zone differs in breast cancer patients, with altered lipid ester absorption bands reverting post-cancer removal.

In this study, molecular dynamics simulations indicated that the Glu413Lys mutation in human hair keratin significantly affects the stability of coiled coil structures, whereas Glu413Asp showed no impact on stability.

This article reviews the complex structure and molecular composition of hair keratins, highlighting their self-assembly process and implications for keratin extraction techniques, but reports no new experimental results.

This review highlights that Tremella fuciformis polysaccharide exhibits various bioactivities, such as antioxidant and immune-modulating effects, and explores its potential applications in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries.

This research studied European human hair, finding that cysteic acid and protein carbonylation increased with both chemical and photochemical oxidation. Protein carbonylation was highlighted as a more sensitive marker for photochemical oxidation, providing better in situ visualization of hair damage than cysteic acid.

This review discusses changes in keratin structure or gene expression that result in various skin disorders and reports no new clinical findings.

This review summarizes the structural and chemical characteristics of current and novel antiandrogenic drugs but reports no new clinical findings.

This article reviews the structure, genomic organization, and pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 and discusses current efforts in prevention and treatments for COVID-19 without reporting new clinical results.

This review discusses the role of keratins in maintaining epidermal structure and function and reports no new results; the authors emphasize the lack of rational therapies for skin disorders linked to keratin mutations.

This study found that finasteride impaired object recognition memory and altered hippocampal dendritic structures in male 3xTg-AD mice, suggesting potential sex differences in Alzheimer's disease pathology.

This chapter reviews hair anatomy, hair shaft structure, and various cosmetic treatments that can alter or damage hair, but it presents no new research findings.

This study demonstrated that RNA interference targeting mutant keratin genes can effectively correct hair shaft structural defects in a mouse model by reducing mutant gene expression.

This article reviews the clinical and diagnostic features of hair shaft disorders, emphasizing the role of structured patient assessments and the avoidance of hair trauma, but reports no new results.

In this review, researchers examined the molecular diversity and expression patterns of major skin appendage proteins, like keratins and EDC proteins, in tetrapods, highlighting recent findings in reptiles and birds and identifying knowledge gaps for future research.

This review discusses the history and development of keratin biomaterials for biomedical uses, highlighting their biological activity and biocompatibility, and provides no new research findings.

This study identified a new cytokeratin, mK6irs, specifically expressed in the inner root sheath of mouse hair follicles, distinguishing it as a member of the type II cytokeratin family.
