This study used ultrahigh-resolution optical coherence tomography to observe hair shaft structures, finding melanin granules absent only in white hair, which may explain color differences between black and white hair.

In this study, LC-OCT imaging was found to noninvasively identify specific features of cicatricial alopecia due to lupus erythematosus, such as hyperreflective collagen fibers, which may aid in distinguishing it from other types of scarring alopecia.

In this study, LC-OCT was used to distinguish between subtypes of scarring alopecia, laying the groundwork for further hypotheses and future research in larger and longitudinal studies to examine treatment responses.

This study found that line-field confocal optical coherence tomography effectively visualized key diagnostic features of classic lichen planopilaris in real time, suggesting its potential as a valuable diagnostic tool.

This article reviews applications of optical coherence tomography techniques in medicine, including for diagnosing androgenic alopecia and monitoring blood coagulation, but provides no new clinical results.

This case report describes a 26-year-old woman with an uncommon presentation of varicella zoster virus interstitial keratitis misdiagnosed as corneal intraepithelial neoplasia; the correct identification using diagnostic tools such as AS-OCT prevented unnecessary surgical interventions and allowed for effective antiviral treatment.

This study found that line-field confocal optical coherence tomography correlates well with histopathological and dermoscopic findings in alopecia areata, suggesting it could be a useful diagnostic and monitoring tool for the condition.

This article discusses the diagnostic challenges between certain neonatal scalp conditions and highlights the potential of line-field confocal optical coherence tomography to provide detailed, non-invasive skin examination, without presenting new clinical findings.

This study found that line-field confocal optical coherence tomography effectively visualized microscopic alterations in alopecia areata, suggesting its potential use in diagnosis and monitoring.

This case report of an infant with AEC syndrome highlights the importance of early and aggressive management of ocular complications to preserve vision and reduce the risk of amblyopia.

This study found that chemical hair dyes caused more significant microstructural damage to hair than high-temperature perms, as observed using a single-detector OCT system.

This study found that ACOD1 deficiency in dermal papilla cells promotes mitochondrial dysfunction and contributes to cellular senescence in androgenetic alopecia, suggesting ACOD1 as a potential therapeutic target and 4-octyl itaconate as a promising treatment option for AGA.

This study suggests that 9-Octadecenoic acid (Z)-, 2,3-dihydroxypropyl ester from African Yam bean seeds may inhibit the human 5α-reductase II enzyme, potentially helping manage BPH, although further studies are needed.

Human hair follicles can provide stem cells for regenerative medicine.

This study demonstrates that stem cells from human foreskins, which lack hair follicles, can differentiate into melanocytes and migrate to the epidermis, potentially altering our understanding of pigmentation disorders.

This study found that hypertrophic chondrocytes at the fracture callus border may convert to osteoblasts, influenced by vasculature and pluripotency gene expression.

This study reports that miR-302 promotes pluripotency by inhibiting NR2F2 and indirectly regulating OCT4 in stem cells, enhancing reprogramming efficiency when added to traditional factors.

This study reports the successful generation of inducible pluripotent stem cells from mesenchymal stem cells derived from human hair follicles, marking a novel method of reprogramming these cells.

This review discusses challenges in treating CMO associated with uveitis and highlights the need for prospective studies to guide therapy, as current treatments are largely empirical and potentially harmful.

In this study, researchers introduced calcium carbonate-based carriers for transdermal drug delivery, observing efficient transport of substances and systemic absorption in rats, suggesting potential applications in regenerative medicine and dermatology beyond conventional topical treatments.

In this study, helium-neon laser irradiation at approximately 1 J/cm² significantly increased the percentage of hair follicles in the anagen phase in both testosterone-treated and untreated mice, suggesting stimulation of hair growth.

This study found that the sebum partition coefficient (K(sebum)) for some drugs differs from the stratum corneum partition coefficient (K(sc)), indicating its importance for targeted drug delivery into hair and sebaceous follicles.

This study found that topical application of niacin derivatives significantly increased hair fullness in women with female pattern hair loss compared to a placebo after six months.

This study found that PBX1 enhances the proliferation and reprogramming of hair follicle mesenchymal stem cells by activating the AKT/GSK3β signaling pathway, promoting NANOG expression, and inhibiting apoptosis.

This study found that Ishige sinicola extract increased hair growth and cell proliferation in cultured vibrissa follicles and mice, suggesting potential benefits for treating alopecia through β-catenin activation and 5α-reductase inhibition.

CUR-loaded micelles improve skin delivery and effects of curcumin for pain and infections.

This study found that glycyrrhizic acid significantly reduced stem cell characteristics of dermal papilla cells by down-regulating key signaling pathways, suggesting potential use in suppressing unwanted hair growth.

This study found that using a PEG-400/oleic acid mixture as an optical clearing agent enhanced the detection depth of particles in skin without causing dehydration, based on tests in rats and further testing in vivo.

This study introduces a new multimodal imaging technology to visualize and quantify cell dynamics in natural skin over long durations, demonstrated in GFP bone marrow-transplanted mice, to study dynamic skin regeneration.

In this study, optical coherence tomography was used to produce 3D images of human hair, revealing that after chemical treatment with ammonium thioglycolate, the main hair structures were not identifiable due to damage.
