Adding human hair to cement can make it tougher and better insulated but also more porous.

This study examined a shampoo containing chili pepper extract and biopolymer microspheres for hair loss treatment, finding that it was well tolerated by volunteers, particularly due to the exfoliation sensation.

This study found that volatile compounds from Bacillus subtilis strain WM13-24 improved root development in Arabidopsis by influencing auxin signaling.

This study found that Guazuma ulmifolia, known for its use in hair loss treatment, contains polyphenolic compounds in its bark, particularly flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and mucilages.

This study found that enzyme activity critical to cancer induction by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in human hair follicles increased after using a crude coal tar-containing shampoo for four days and was substantially inhibited by imidazole compounds.

This review examines the chemical constituents and pharmacological effects of Nicotiana tabacum but reports no new experimental findings, emphasizing traditional uses and known bioactivities.

This study observed that rough propolis from Indonesian bees showed significant cytotoxic effects against cancer cell lines, with higher inhibition percentages than smooth propolis, suggesting its potential as an anticancer agent.

This study found that tannin effectively inhibits and degrades mono-species and polymicrobial biofilms, making it a potential candidate for antibiofilm treatments.

This study found that formulations containing pequi and buriti oils improved texture properties and significantly increased gloss in curly hair, with pequi oil also significantly enhancing tensile strength.

This study found that Dysphania ambrosioides oil exhibited cytotoxicity against U-937 lymphoma cells, indicating potential activity that warrants further investigation.

This study investigated the photoprotective properties of Brazilian pepper tree extract against UV-induced damage in skin cells, reporting that it enhanced expression of genes relevant to skin health and showed superior activity compared to standard antioxidants.

This study found that Soxhlet extraction is more effective at removing the toxin mimosine from Leucaena leucocephala, and mimosine shows promise as a biodiesel additive due to its antioxidative properties.

Brunfelsia uniflora has good antioxidant properties and moderate antibacterial activity.

This study found that Sida cordifolia L. from Colombia is rich in saponins, which may contribute to its antioxidant and antifungal properties.

This article reviews the industrial applications and chemical composition of castor oil, highlighting its role as a raw material in producing various products, but reports no new results.

This study assessed Mapu Cosméticos' business plan for producing castor bean-derived products, projecting a net profit from year two and indicating financial feasibility with a favorable Net Present Value and Internal Rate of Return.

This review discusses the medicinal properties of Alpinia zerumbet Roxb. and highlights its potential for further research, but provides no new clinical results.

This case study reported a rare infection by Trichosporon inkin, causing white piedra in a family in Southern Brazil, emphasizing the importance of molecular tools for precise identification.

This study found that inoculating Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings with the rhizobacterium Azospirillum brasilense significantly increased root hair length compared to non-inoculated controls.

In this study, the researchers found that female Pieris brassicae butterflies have more "B-type" chemoreceptory hairs on their forelegs, which may be involved in selecting oviposition sites through detecting mustard oil glucosides.

In this laboratory study, procyanidin B2 inhibited early plant growth and biochemical responses in wheat seedlings treated with lipopolysaccharides from Azospirillum brasilense, suggesting that plant response activation requires LPS recognition by plant cells.

This study suggests that elevated placental NKB expression may be associated with PCOS-related placental dysfunction, with differences observed based on fetal gender.

This study evaluated compounds from Jatropha cordata bark, finding that a sterol mixture and n-heptyl ferulate demonstrated notable anti-inflammatory activity in murine macrophage cells without toxicity, suggesting potential for treating chronic inflammation.

This study identified novel compounds from Bombax ceiba stem bark, including shamimicin, with potent hypotensive effects, and reported that a specific fraction had adverse effects on heart, liver, and kidneys in mice.

This study found that ribbed hairs on tarantulas closely resemble chemoreceptors rather than silk-producing spigots, with no silk observed emitting from them under microscopy.

This case report documents a dog with dermatophytosis, caused by the fungus Microsporum canis, presenting symptoms like alopecia in the neck and ear, highlighting the condition's prevalence in tropical and temperate climates and its zoonotic nature.

This study reviews the ethnobotanical and pharmacological uses of Guazuma tomentosa, highlighting its diverse applications in traditional medicine and research findings that demonstrate its potential anti-diabetic, anti-hypertensive, anti-microbial, anti-oxidant, anti-ulcer properties, and more, in various animal models.

This study found that an innovative treatment using honey and banana leaf coverings helped manage thermal burns in bovines, with most animals recovering within 2 to 4 months.

This study found that purified humic acids from oxidized coal enhance plant growth by modulating oxidative stress and influencing photobiological processes, with improved root growth and enzyme activity linked to antioxidant and pro-oxidant properties.

This study found that a new lecithinized coal tar formulation did not stain different types of mammalian hair, suggesting it may be promising for treating scalp psoriasis without the drawback of staining.
