This study developed a sensitive method to precisely determine hair lipid composition, demonstrating specific lipid changes from the root to the tip in untreated hair fibers from two women.

This study found that radiation-induced salivary gland dysfunction in mice involves microvascular damage mediated by ceramide and reactive oxygen species, suggesting ROS scavengers could protect salivary function during radiotherapy for head and neck cancer.

This study observed that in Japanese females, hair lipid composition showed significant correlations, suggesting CH and CERs may act as a barrier against sebum-derived lipids.

This study found that Schistosoma mansoni cercariae stimulate epidermal keratinocytes in mice, initiating pro-inflammatory responses and barrier repair mechanisms akin to those in wound healing.

The study concluded that fatty acid transport protein 4 in epidermal keratinocytes is crucial for maintaining normal skin structure, as its deficiency led to hyperkeratosis and epidermal barrier disruption in mice.

This study found that in mice, deleting the keratin 10 gene enhances sebocyte differentiation and increases secretion of sebum and certain lipids without affecting proliferation-associated keratins.

This article examines the role and composition of integral hair lipids in forming a protective barrier similar to the skin's epidermal lipid layer and reports no new findings about their effects.

This study reported that specific non-coding RNAs may regulate the hair follicle cycle in Angora rabbits by acting as competitive endogenous RNAs, enhancing understanding of ncRNA roles in hair growth.

This review summarized multiple molecular markers studied for their association with dry skin, finding considerable variability and uncertainty about which markers best indicate xerosis cutis.

This study found that subchronic finasteride treatment in male rats altered neuroactive steroid levels and steroid receptor expression in the brain, with some changes persisting after drug withdrawal.

In this study, a high-fat, high-cholesterol diet in atherosclerotic mice led to skin inflammation and hair problems, which could be reversed by inhibiting glycosphingolipid synthesis.

This study identified a 195 bp duplication in crested chickens that causes large crest feathers and can be associated with cerebral hernia in some breeds, but not all.

This study confirms an association between TNF-α antagonist exposure and alopecia, indicating a class effect among the medications examined.

In this study, the methanol extract of Cercidiphyllum japonicum heartwood was found to stimulate the proliferation of mouse hair epithelial cells, with several isolated compounds showing significant proliferative activities.

This study found that lipid extraction increased water diffusion in wool and hair fibers; the effect was more pronounced in hair, indicating lipids are crucial for water permeability.

This study found that chemical treatments like perming, dyeing, and bleaching significantly alter amino acids and lipids in human hair, which may impact hair strength and quality.

This chapter reviews formulation principles for creating cosmetic nanoemulsions and applications targeting skin and hair care, but does not present new experimental results.

This review discusses the unique healthcare needs and disparities faced by transgender individuals, highlighting the importance of cultural competency and skills in providers, but reports no new clinical findings.

This preliminary study suggests that baseline central serotonin turnover, indicated by CSF 5-HIAA levels, may influence treatment response to serotonin re-uptake inhibitors in women with trichotillomania.

This study cataloged several long non-coding RNAs and microRNAs in cashmere goat dermal papilla cells, suggesting these non-coding RNAs may play a role in hair follicle stem cell activation and hair growth.

This paper reviews the evolution and classification of forehead reduction and orbital contouring techniques in transgender females, but reports no new clinical findings.

This report describes a case of adrenomyeloneuropathy where neurogenic bladder dysfunction developed, attributed to demyelinating lesions in the patient's peripheral nerves, spinal cord, and cerebral white matter.

This case study discusses a postmenopausal woman's frontal fibrosing alopecia and lichen planus pigmentosus, controlled with corticosteroids and finasteride, highlighting diagnostic and therapeutic challenges in scarring alopecia.

This study found that alopecia areata patients had a slightly decreased overall cancer risk, with significantly lower risks for some cancers but higher risks for lymphoma, breast, kidney, and urinary bladder cancers.

In this study, Far2-/- mice were observed to develop focal alopecia with altered sebaceous gland morphology and lower skin lipid levels compared to wildtype mice.

This article reviews non-biodegradable progestational subdermal implants as long-acting contraceptives for women, discussing their effectiveness, associated side effects, and implementation challenges without reporting new clinical results.

This study suggests that leukocyte-platelet-rich fibrin membranes may aid postoperative healing in endoscopic skull base surgery, with some patients showing reduced crusting and low rates of cerebrospinal fluid leaks.

This case study reports the first known instance of adult Kawasaki's disease presenting with highly elevated serum ferritin levels and splenomegaly, emphasizing its consideration in differential diagnoses for adults with persistent rash, fever, and specific clinical features.

This abstract reports an influenzalike illness with varying antibody titers observed in a woman and her husband, but it does not provide broader clinical findings.

In this study, germ-free male mice showed altered levels of certain neuroactive steroids in the brain and periphery, suggesting microbiota may influence neuroendocrine pathways that support brain functioning.
