This study suggests hair diameter may indicate protein status in children if the sampling location on the head is controlled, noting inconsistencies in past research.

This study found that 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline derivatives, particularly N-methyl-7-amino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline, may be excellent blue dye candidates for human hair, offering superior color purity, stability, and fastness compared to 2,3-dihydroindoles.

Lacto-fermentation changes amino acid profiles in bovine colostrum, but results are inconsistent.

In this study, incorporating a novel amino acid compound into a hair-straightening formulation improved humidity-resistant straightening and enhanced the surface and mechanical properties of hair fibers, including increased bending stiffness, reduced friction, and better shape retention under high temperature and humidity conditions.

This study discovered that in *Drosophila*, knockdown of specific storage proteins in adipocytes decreased germline stem cell maintenance, implicating a role for these proteins in adult tissue regulation.

This study found that treating hair with ATS, formed from fumaric acid and cysteamine, effectively improved hair quality by increasing moisture content and altering the internal structure of strong curls.

This study found that a bio-based repair solution containing hydrolysed wool keratin, serine, and transglutaminase improved the physical and chemical properties of damaged hair, increasing its strength, flexibility, and thermal stability while offering long-lasting protection against chemical damage.

This review discusses the potential clinical benefits and functional properties of taurine as a conditionally essential amino acid, noting its presence in energy drinks, but reports no new experimental results.

A genetic mutation linked to longer life and less disease was found in the Amish, and a drug is being developed to replicate these benefits.

This case report describes a 5-month-old Japanese infant with biotin deficiency, where daily oral biotin supplementation led to significant improvements in skin conditions and hair growth.

This study found that full-length Agouti protein modulates melanocortin receptor signaling through a dual mechanism involving competitive antagonism and receptor down-regulation, whereas the carboxyl-terminal fragment acts solely as a competitive antagonist.

This study identified novel 4-Amino-2H-benzo[h]chromen-2-one analogs as potent androgen receptor antagonists that show strong antiproliferative activity against prostate cancer cells, suggesting them as potential lead compounds for therapy development.

This study found that polyamidoamine dendrimers can permeate skin's current conducting pores and alter the magnitude and direction of electroosmotic flow, affecting drug flux during iontophoresis.

This study introduces an efficient ghost-cell based immersed boundary method for simulating fluid-particle mass transfer, capable of accurately handling mixed boundary conditions at particle surfaces.

This study observed early cardiac effects in young minipigs following high-dose doxorubicin chemotherapy, with a decrease in heart function and changes in cardiac MRI measurements compared to controls.

Hair relaxers are linked to reduced cystine levels and potential hair damage.

In this study, L-methionine and L-serine application was observed to have the most significant effect on hair weight and root length, followed by acetyl L-methionine and L-serine, while glutathione inhibited growth.

This research explored potential mechanisms for the toxicity of mimosine but did not identify a conclusive reason for its adverse effects.

This study found that caffeic acid amide derivative, compound 4, effectively inhibited steroid 5α-reductase type 1 in vitro, suggesting potential for development as a treatment for androgenic alopecia.

This article discusses the importance of raising awareness about specific adverse drug reactions, methods of prevention, and the significance of reporting them to the FDA's MedWatch program, but reports no new clinical results.

In this review, researchers highlighted that COVID-19 can cause various skin manifestations like maculopapular rashes and "COVID toes," which often precede or appear without respiratory symptoms, suggesting their potential for early detection and prognostic evaluation, especially in severe cases.

This study found that blocking GABA(A) receptors in cat dorsal horn neurons increased evoked activity and background discharge, highlighting differences in inhibitory control systems compared to glycine receptors.

This study identified compounds 11d and 11k as potential dual 5α-reductase inhibitors and AR antagonists with significant anti-proliferative effects on prostate cancer cell lines, suggesting they may offer therapeutic value.

This study found that Minoxidil included in triamino alpha-cyclodextrin significantly promoted hair growth in mice, potentially due to its enhanced substantivity on skin.

In this study, the novel thiol-Michael click perming molecule, MA2-CySS, achieved repeatable perming with reduced oxidative damage, preserving hair keratin's structure while maintaining efficiency comparable to traditional oxidative methods.

This chapter reviews emerging side effects of various nutritional supplements and alternative medicine practices, highlighting potential toxicities and stressing the need for careful identification and management by healthcare professionals.
