In this case study, a 24-year-old female with treatment-resistant trichotillomania achieved a 9-month remission of hair-pulling and hair regrowth through mindset reframing, physical barriers, and community support, suggesting these approaches may offer promising interventions for individuals with similar conditions.

In this systematic review, researchers observed that Toxoplasma gondii infection is associated with alterations in testosterone levels, generally increasing in humans but showing mixed effects in animals, highlighting a complex relationship that warrants further investigation.

This study found that Transcutol-containing vesicles improved the delivery of minoxidil to deeper skin layers in vitro but did not facilitate its permeation through the skin.

This study found that the moisture content of human hair significantly influences the type of fracture under tensile loading, with low or high humidity levels leading to smooth fractures and intermediate humidity resulting in step fractures.

This study reports that dynamic interactions between stem cells and their niche, influenced by macro-environmental factors, regulate regenerative behavior in integument pattern formation.

This study found that modifying biphasic calcium phosphate/poly(methyl methacrylate) bone cement with human hair keratin improves its hydrophilicity, mechanical properties, and supports bone repair in rats, indicating potential for orthopedic applications.

This study developed O/W hair mask emulsions with collagen hydrolysate, keratin, and natural oils, reporting that they are stable, physiologically acceptable for skin, creamy, non-greasy, and hydrophilic, with properties suitable for cosmetic applications in hair care.
