This review discusses the link between Parkinson's disease and dermatological disorders, highlighting that skin biomarkers may aid in the diagnosis of Parkinson's, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study observed that increasing the γ-kerateine content in meta-kerateine materials led to reduced elasticity, solidity, and hydrolytic stability, and decreased hepatocyte attachment support.

This paper discusses risk factors and prevention strategies for acute urinary retention secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia, emphasizing the role of PSA levels and the benefits of medications like finasteride and alpha-blockers, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that permanent waving treatment induces structural changes in the cortex proteins of white human hair, significantly reducing its tensile strength without altering the S-S band intensity.

This study highlights the loss of hair-type keratin genes in cetaceans compared to terrestrial mammals, suggesting a potential adaptive role linked to their hairless phenotype and habitat changes.

This study found that spermidine, a polyamine, plays an essential role in hair growth in sheep follicles, while spermine is not required for normal follicle function.

This study identified trichohyalin as an early differentiation marker in hair follicles, with potential structural roles related to alpha-helical formations, based on the partial characterization of its cDNA in sheep.

This study used proteomic techniques to analyze human hair proteins, revealing keratin heterogeneity and identifying posttranslational modifications, such as cysteine trioxidation and methylation.

This review provides a comprehensive overview of the mechanisms, efficacy, and adverse reactions of drugs commonly used for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia but reports no new clinical results.

This study developed a validated murine model of hypertrophic scar contraction, demonstrating similarities to human skin and observing graft contraction and tissue characteristics over time.

This review highlights that current diagnostic and treatment methods for chronic pelvic pain syndrome lack robust evidence, suggesting a need for further research.

This study identified the distribution of keratin-associated proteins during cornification in the epidermis of reptiles, revealing unique structural characteristics in sauropsid keratin proteins compared to other vertebrates.

This study found that α-MSH acts as a modulator of inflammatory and fibrogenic responses in human fibroblastic skin cells, indicating potential therapeutic options for fibrotic skin disorders and inflammatory diseases of the hair follicle.

This study found that distinct keratin profiles enabled the evaluation of epithelial differentiation in human hair follicles, with mesenchymal cells playing a critical role in epidermoid differentiation of follicular cells.

This study found that the keratin matrix in mammalian hard α-keratins is crucial for maintaining stiffness in water by controlling intermediate filament hydration.

This study used advanced analytical techniques to reveal that proteins and lipids are distributed unevenly in hair, with distinct structural differences depending on their location within the fiber.

This article reviews skin disorders in Parkinson's disease, highlighting the potential of skin studies and stem cell research to advance understanding and treatment of the neurodegenerative disorder, without presenting new results.

This study found no structural differences between in vitro and in vivo grown hair, with keratinization and organization of keratin being comparable in both settings.

This study identified two types of hard alpha-keratin filament assemblies in developing human hair follicles, which may help investigate the structural framework of mammalian keratin appendages.

This study describes a case of generalized trichorrhexis nodosa and finds that defects in alpha-keratin chain formation and low cystine levels in hair may contribute to the condition.

This review provides an overview of the risks and side effects associated with common medications used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia, highlighting the importance for clinicians and patients to discuss these aspects for informed decision-making.

This review discusses the impact of medical and surgical treatments for LUTS/BPH on ejaculatory function, highlighting that most treatments negatively affect it, except for some minimally invasive surgical therapies and specific medical therapies.

Feathers become harder as they develop due to a change in keratin type.

In this study using rabbits, HA2 hydrogels made from cross-linked hyaluronic acid and polysaccharide promoted wound healing better than other treatments, reducing inflammation and scar formation.

This review discusses the role of defensin peptides in stem cell activation for potential skin rejuvenation therapies and reports no new clinical findings, emphasizing the need for further studies.

This review examines the cognitive effects of medications for lower urinary tract symptoms and indicates that muscarinic antagonists, particularly oral oxybutynin, pose the highest risk for cognitive impairment.

This study concluded that 5α-reductase inhibitors were associated with improved survival in men with bladder cancer, while α-blockers showed no effect.

In this study, researchers found that alpha-keratin homologs similar to those in mammalian hair are present in the claws of the lizard Anolis carolinensis, suggesting a structural role during claw formation.

This review discusses the pharmacologic effects, safety, and efficacy of dutasteride and finasteride for BPH, finding similar clinical benefits but greater DHT reduction with dutasteride and reports no new trial results.

This review discusses the stratification and management of male patients with lower urinary tract symptoms and benign prostatic hyperplasia in primary care and reports no new clinical results.
