This study reports that using laser microdissection to isolate telogen hair follicles significantly improves DNA extraction efficiency for STR typing, reducing contamination from keratin.

This study found that a significant number of boreal woodland caribou in NE British Columbia showed symptoms of trace mineral deficiencies and exposure to various pathogens, with substantial winter tick infestations affecting a majority of individuals.

This study developed a faster method to analyze fatty acid ethyl esters in human hair, potentially distinguishing alcohol consumption levels more efficiently.

This research observed that a silver nanoparticle-loaded polydopamine/polyethyleneimine-coated bacterial cellulose dressing effectively inhibited S. aureus infections, reduced inflammation, and promoted wound healing compared with untreated cellulose, demonstrating its potential for treating infected wounds.

This review highlights that microscopic analysis of human scalp hair remains crucial in forensic science for crime scene investigations, despite limitations such as subjectivity and potential misidentification, and notes that integrating DNA analysis and digital imaging could enhance accuracy.

This study found that microbial transformation of dihydrotestosterone with two types of fungi produced eight metabolites, among which metabolites 5–7 were significant inhibitors of butyrylcholinesterase, suggesting potential in Alzheimer's disease management.

This study demonstrated that a 1-step, peroxidase-labeled conjugated antibody method provides more accurate immunoreactivity patterns in hair follicle substructures compared to the 2-step LSAB method, which may cause false-positive staining in sebaceous glands.

This study found that the BIK1 gene in Arabidopsis thaliana modulates defense responses to pathogens and is essential for normal root growth and development.

This study observed that different alkaline buffers had a significant impact on the volume of liquid consumed by fall armyworm larvae, emphasizing the importance of measuring imbibed volumes to reduce dose errors in bioassays.

This study developed a non-destructive X-ray fluorescence technique to quantitatively analyze elemental content in human hair and constructed a database of element concentrations in healthy Swedish, Caucasian individuals.

This study found that a lacticin 3147 solid lipid nanoparticle gel demonstrated potent and sustained antimicrobial activity against S. aureus, including MRSA, in ex vivo S. aureus-infected pig skin.

This article discusses the use of hair analysis in addiction cases, highlighting its value in providing critical information about substance use patterns, and presents no new experimental results.

This study found that Rhodamin B staining of keratin was inconsistent across normal skin, epithelial tumors, and dermatoses, with notable differences in staining intensity between tricho-hyalin and keratohyalin granules.

This review covers the basic principles of forensic hair analysis, including how chemical substances get incorporated into hair, and emphasizes its applications in disease diagnosis, without providing new experimental results.

In this study, non-dermatophyte moulds, particularly Aspergillus and Penicillium species, were phenotypically characterized in dogs and cats with suspected mycotic dermatitis, revealing their potential role in dermatological disorders among companion animals and emphasizing the importance of conventional mycological identification techniques.

This review highlights the importance of standardizing pre-analytical procedures for collecting and extracting samples from uncommon biological specimens like breast milk and sweat in clinical metabolomics, to enhance diagnostic and biomarker discovery efforts while minimizing contamination and bias.

This review examines drug repositioning as a strategy for combating bacterial infections, highlighting its potential to address multidrug-resistant strains and antibiotic resistance by analyzing safety profiles, synergistic combinations, and promising results for drugs initially used for other conditions.

This study characterized the anatomical and phytochemical features of Viola odorata, which may assist taxonomists in species analysis and improve regulatory processes for quality assurance.

This review discusses the growing use of scalp hair for elemental analysis in various fields and highlights advancements in analysis techniques, including the future potential of laser ablation ICP-MS, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, distinct immune and cellular profiles were observed in adults with atopic dermatitis associated with high levels of Staphylococcus aureus, including increased proinflammatory T cells and markers of skin barrier impairment, pointing to potential therapeutic targets for managing these interactions.

Human hair contains a substance that shows blood group A activity.

In this study, oral administration of Lactococcus lactis strain H61 to senescence-accelerated mice was linked to reduced bone density loss, less skin ulcer incidence, and reduced hair loss, along with altered immune responses.

This study reviewed 55 studies to assess the bacterial microbiome in hair follicles across different inflammatory skin and hair conditions, reporting shifts in the abundance of Cutibacterium and Staphylococcus among various diseases, though the causal significance remains unclear.

This study at Mbarara University of Science and Technology found that T. violaceum is the most common cause of tinea capitis in children in Western Uganda, and systemic therapy is preferred over topical treatments for effective management due to the nature of the infection.

This study found trichoscopy to be a highly sensitive, non-invasive method for diagnosing tinea capitis in children, which could be valuable in resource-limited settings lacking mycological culture facilities.

The researchers reported that glucuronides stored as dried blood spots under ambient conditions exhibited stability equivalent to liquid samples stored at -80°C.

This study found that solid-state fermentation using probiotic lactic acid bacteria significantly enhanced the antioxidant properties and bioactive composition of Radix Angelica gigas compared to non-fermented herbs, suggesting a potential method for modernizing traditional herbal medicine.
