This review explores recent advancements in skin tissue engineering using 3D bioprinting, discussing current methods, bioink formulations, and outlining both achievements and limitations without presenting new clinical results.

This study found that crosslinking buffalo gelatin with different methods can modify its properties and potential as a skin substitute, though double-crosslinking may increase immunogenicity slightly.

This review explores the structure and development of the hair cuticle, highlighting difficulties in studying some aspects and proposing new experimental approaches, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, an injectable self-healing bioactive nanoglass hydrogel showed promise for repairing normal and MRSA-infected skin wounds by inhibiting bacterial growth and reducing inflammation.

In this study, the researchers reported extensive gene loss and high pseudogenization rates of α-keratin genes in cetaceans compared to terrestrial mammals, likely linked to hair loss and aquatic adaptations.

This review discusses the occurrence and impact of background histopathologic changes in nonhuman primate research, emphasizing the importance of understanding these factors to enhance study validity and interpretation.

In a study using female Wistar rats, the researchers found that a liquid allantoin-enriched pectin hydrogel significantly improved wound healing, achieving a 71.43% reduction in healing time and complete wound closure in 15 days.

This study explored the wound healing potential of a natural marine soft coral-derived nanoparticle-based gel in a diabetic excision wound model, finding it effectively regulates proinflammatory cytokines and inhibits enzymes related to wound healing.

This study investigated the effects of the 60% alcohol extract from Alnus sibirica and its active compound, oregonin, on hair health, observing anti-oxidative and anti-apoptotic benefits in human hair dermal papilla cells exposed to oxidative stress, suggesting potential as natural materials for hair loss prevention.

This study found that a lipid-based nanoparticle formulation with oleic acid for delivering dutasteride showed lower skin permeation compared to a formulation without oleic acid, indicating its potential for targeted dermal delivery.

This review highlights the potential of nanotechnology-based formulations in hair care and treatment, emphasizing how these innovative materials can enhance the stability, efficacy, and safety of active compounds while addressing the limitations of conventional formulations.

This case study describes a Doberman Pinscher with a unique alopecic variant of chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus that progressed to systemic lupus erythematosus, highlighting a rare autoimmune alopecia form in dogs.

This study found that a combination of natural compounds (escin, bromelain, ginkgo biloba, and sage miltiorrhiza) reduced platelet adhesion to activated endothelium in laboratory settings by inhibiting adhesion molecule transcription and reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines, potentially preventing initial steps of the coagulation cascade.

The researchers reviewed cepharanthine, a long-used bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid, for its antiviral properties, including significant inhibition of SARS-CoV-2. They discussed cepharanthine's other pharmacological actions, highlighted plasma membrane fluidity as a key antiviral mechanism, and examined its safety, bioavailability, and potential for new clinical applications.

This study demonstrates that a bioinspired peptide, PepACS, can efficiently and safely perm hair by interacting with keratin's sulfhydryl group without compromising tensile strength, and it shows potential for hair repair and dyeing applications in the hair care industry.

In this case report, researchers described a 6-year-old girl with severe mandibuloacral dysplasia type A, noting unique physical deformities and a rare homozygous LMNA gene mutation not commonly associated with the condition.

This study explored a multidimensional approach to examine body hairs' physico-chemical properties, potentially supporting their use over scalp hairs in forensic and intoxication studies.

The patches could quickly deliver epilepsy treatment and reduce seizures.

In this study, the researchers synthesized copper-doped mesoporous silica nanoparticles and observed that they enhance tumor microenvironment regulation and, when paired with disulfiram, effectively kill cancer cells while also showing synergistic anti-tumor effects with immune checkpoint inhibitors.

This study found that adding keratin to a collagen hydrogel improved keratinocyte differentiation compared to a pure collagen hydrogel, particularly when calcium was also present in the media.

In this study, a case of lichen amyloidosis on the scalp significantly improved with a 2-month topical treatment using clobetasol propionate/all-trans retinoic acid ointment.

This narrative review highlights the need for diabetes-informed approaches to aesthetic dermatology as accelerated skin aging in diabetic patients complicates the safety and effectiveness of cosmetic procedures.

This study investigated the mechanical response of the human hair cuticle to strain and found that cuticular deformation directly corresponded with fiber elongation, revealing significant molecular-level changes in disulfide crosslinks but maintained structural stability, highlighting the role of the cuticle in stress resistance.

In this study, researchers developed a coamorphous form of tadalafil and finasteride, showing improved solubility and dissolution in vitro, with results successfully translated in vivo in rats. They reported reasonable stability, suggesting this form could serve as a therapeutic alternative to the current marketed combination.

This study synthesized and evaluated hydroxycinnamate derivatives for their ability to inhibit human SRD5A1, finding that three compounds showed significant inhibitory activity and low cytotoxicity. Compound 10a notably reduced SRD5A1 protein expression in cells, suggesting potential for nonsteroidal treatment of androgen-related conditions.

This review discusses metal-organic frameworks for treating diabetic infected wounds and related applications, reporting no new clinical results but highlighting challenges like biosafety and production for future research.

In this study, researchers presented cases of cellular neurothekeoma in three male family members with early-onset in infancy, suggesting a potential genetic component and inheritance pattern, which deviates from the typical presentation seen mostly in women between 20–30 years.

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 study found that the PLEE method increased hair protein extraction efficiency threefold and that bleaching hair reduced the coverage of keratin and associated proteins, leading to poorer hair quality, though it did not affect the overall protein identification.
