This study found that a highly resistant structure, located at the interface between the cuticle and cortex of human hair, acts as a penetration barrier, which the authors propose to name the "cuticle anchored resistant base" or CARB.

This paper discusses tinea capitis in adults, emphasizing that it particularly affects postmenopausal African American or Black women, and notes challenges in treatment due to antifungal resistance.

In this study, researchers identified a cluster of hair-specific keratin-associated protein genes within the 21q22.3 region, revealing a novel transcription mechanism involving TSPEAR/C21orf29 that may bypass typical transcriptional termination sites.

This review discusses treatment options for tinea capitis in children and reports no new clinical results; the authors recommend newer antifungal agents in cases of griseofulvin treatment failure.

In this study, researchers reported that hardshell capsules using the DiluCap® line of excipients demonstrated varying dissolution profiles under gastrointestinal-simulating conditions, with minoxidil and finasteride showing rapid release and melatonin and naltrexone displaying controlled release, indicating their suitability for different applications in compounding pharmacies.

This article proposes an updated naming system for keratin-associated proteins and genes, aiming to improve data storage and retrieval by including species information and genetic variation.

This study found that using a wearable low-level light therapy device for photodynamic therapy significantly reduced actinic keratosis lesions and improved quality of life in patients with AK of the scalp.

This study found that indirect treatment with cold atmospheric plasma showed promise for improving androgenetic alopecia in patients, laying the groundwork for longer trials to assess its efficacy.

This review highlights capsaicin's chemical properties, natural sources, and its potential benefits such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic effects, while also noting its challenges in food applications regarding dosage, taste perception, and regulatory compliance.

In this study, no significant link was found between cap-wearing habits and quality of life in Indian males over 50 with androgenic alopecia, but more severe alopecia was associated with a poorer quality of life.

This article details the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment options for an Aboriginal Canadian male with perifolliculitis capitis abscedens et suffodiens, without reporting new study results.

This case report describes an adult initially diagnosed with alopecia areata but was later found to have tinea capitis, successfully treated with terbinafine and ketoconazole shampoo.

In this study, a validated chromatographic method demonstrated the ability to simultaneously analyze gemcitabine and olaparib in pancreatic cancer tissues, supporting the advancement of pharmaceutical formulations combining these drugs, particularly for patients with BRCA mutations.

In this case report, a 28-year-old woman's tinea capitis, diagnosed using a Wood's lamp, was successfully treated with oral itraconazole and ketoconazole shampoo over eight weeks.

In this case study, a 45-year-old immunocompetent woman with tinea capitis exhibited an unusual presentation of the infection with a scaly plaque and hair loss, which responded well to treatment with itraconazole.

This study found that nanocapsules formulated as a dispersion and applied with massage may enhance follicular uptake of clobetasol propionate while minimizing its skin penetration, offering a potential improvement over conventional treatments for scalp diseases.

KAP genes are crucial for hair development and show both shared and unique traits in humans, chimpanzees, and baboons.

This article highlights the limited photoprotection baseball caps provide against UV radiation and recommends additional sun protection measures, especially for those at risk of androgenetic alopecia, but reports no new results.

This article highlights that tinea capitis in adults is often misdiagnosed, leading to treatment delays, and suggests fungal testing for those unresponsive to seborrheic dermatitis or psoriasis treatments.

This article discusses tinea capitis prevention and treatment strategies, emphasizing the importance of systemic therapy for effective antifungal action and reducing contagion risk.

This study found that sodium valproate nanospanlastics could be an effective and safer method for treating androgenic alopecia, with results comparable to minoxidil but fewer side effects.

This review discusses pediculosis capitis, emphasizing its diagnosis and treatment strategies, but reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight the need for concurrent treatment of all close contacts.

This study introduced hair capacitance mapping as a promising technique for assessing hair surface moisture dynamics, revealing that weathered hair loses moisture more quickly than intact hair.

This study reported an increase in tinea capitis in Stockholm children, mainly caused by Trichophyton violaceum and associated with immigration from Africa and family spread.

This article discusses the introduction and market presence of the Italian hair product Kevis but presents no new clinical findings.

This review discusses systemic antifungal treatments for tinea capitis in children, noting that newer agents like terbinafine and itraconazole require shorter courses than the traditional griseofulvin, but may be more costly.

This study found that the transcription factor CAP1 negatively regulates KRT83 expression in Tan sheep, possibly influencing their curly hair phenotype.

This case report describes a 6-year-old boy with a scalp infection caused by Candida parapsilosis, which was successfully treated with 2% ketoconazole ointment after other treatments failed; antifungal susceptibility testing showed variable drug resistance.
