This Mendelian randomization study suggests a causal link between higher BMI and increased risk of psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and hidradenitis suppurativa, potentially due to elevated biomarkers such as triglycerides and C-reactive protein.

This study observed that bacterial communities on scalp hair collected through non-invasive swabbing showed similar diversity and composition to those obtained by cutting or removing hair, suggesting that swabbing is an effective method for microbiome analysis on hair.

This study reported that women with polycystic ovarian syndrome have higher serum irisin levels, which are associated with metabolic and hormonal imbalances, including hyperandrogenism, total cholesterol, and visceral fat.

Fetal death was caused by umbilical cord stricture with hair growth in the Wharton jelly.

This study evaluated the effects of topical glucocorticoids on human skin using non-invasive imaging methods and observed changes such as alterations in skin layer thickness, keratinocyte size, and collagen and elastin signal intensity.

In this study, individuals with alopecia and psoriasis reported higher body shame and depressive symptoms and lower self-compassion compared to the general population, with self-compassion mediating the relationship between external shame and anxiety and depression symptoms.

This review highlights that obsessive-compulsive disorder and body-focused repetitive behaviors are increasingly encountered in dermatology, often going undetected, and emphasizes the role of dermatologists in early identification and interdisciplinary treatment to address both physical and psychological aspects for improved outcomes.

The researchers in this study conducted a comparative analysis of hair and body shampoos, finding notable physicochemical differences, such as body shampoos having lower surface tension and higher foam heights, while hair shampoos were more acidic, potentially to meet different biological and sensory needs.

This review discusses the use of antiandrogens like flutamide and its derivatives in prostate cancer treatment and highlights the need for next-generation antiandrogens for improved efficacy; it reports no new clinical results.

Humans lost body hair relatively recently in evolution.

This article reviews the classification of hair shaft abnormalities, outlining their diagnostic features, but does not present new research findings.

This review discusses the unique characteristics and disorders of Asian hair, emphasizing the need for more comprehensive studies in this area.

This study demonstrated that an engineered human skin equivalent can generate follicle-like structures resembling fetal skin, highlighting the role of the dermal compartment in directing epithelial cell fate in vitro.

In this study, local injection of nanosized recombinant human erythropoietin at the injury site improved skin regeneration and re-epithelialization in a mouse model of deep second-degree burns through coexpression of specific receptors.

This study reports that mutations in human L-PGDS affect the entrance and exit of ligands in its binding cavity, suggesting these residues play a role in ligand interaction processes.

In this study, Trf1 genetic deletion in mice, including those with cancer-prone mutations, was shown to not affect overall viability and cause only mild effects, while being necessary for tumor formation, suggesting a potential therapeutic window for Trf1 as an anti-cancer target.

This study found that the cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP-sb21 can hydroxylate cyclosporine A at multiple positions, reducing its immunosuppressive effects but retaining its hair growth-promoting side-effect, and suggests modifications to improve regioselectivity for commercial use.

Human hair structure varies by ethnicity, and certain treatments can improve hair condition and appearance.

This study optimized the extraction process for abomasum protein from Tianshan red deer, identifying two proteins with anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor activities, suggesting they could be beneficial in foods and nutraceuticals.

This study found that examining the microscopic and ultramicroscopic structures of donkey and horse hair can help differentiate between the species based on distinct differences in hair cuticle and brain substance patterns.

This study explored the structure and function of lipocalin prostaglandin D synthase, revealing its dual role in substrate catalysis and as a lipophilic ligand carrier, potentially informing future drug delivery design.

This study found that composite skin constructs containing dermal papilla cells promoted better skin healing and hair regeneration in nude mice, highlighting their role in tissue-engineered skin for severe injuries.

This review examines the potential of nanoparticles for localized drug delivery via hair follicles but reports no new clinical results, with the authors noting a lack of commercial development despite research progress.

This study found that basement membrane components and structures in mouse hair follicles are highly specialized for specific inter-tissue interactions, with laminin α5 playing a crucial role in hair cycle regulation and anchoring.

This study reports that eccrine sweat glands in mice predominantly develop on the footpads, offering a reference for skin research involving genetically engineered mice.

This study developed an in vitro system to analyze human skin progenitor cells' ability to form hair peg-like structures, providing insights for engineering hair follicle organoids.

This study suggests that the protease HAT-L4 plays a significant role in maintaining epidermal barrier function to prevent body fluid loss, as its absence in mice led to increased fluid loss and higher mortality.

This study found that topical melatonin and vigorous brushing did not affect hair regrowth in clipped Siberian Huskies, although lumbosacral hairs grew significantly shorter than lateral thigh hairs.

This study found that women recovering from cancer developed a positive body image by focusing on acceptance and newfound trust in their bodies, despite the trauma of illness.

This study reveals that basement membrane composition and structure in mouse hair follicles are specialized for distinct inter-tissue interactions, with laminin α5 being essential for maintaining these interfaces.
