This article reviews practical approaches for managing dermatologic conditions in patients with skin of color and reports no new clinical findings.

This review explores how hair dyes and perms can damage hair structure and notes that while some adverse outcomes like skin irritation and allergic reactions have been reported, evidence from human studies remains inconsistent regarding potential risks, including cancer.

This review found that while forensic DNA phenotyping and health applications for pigmentation genetics show potential, factors like phenotype definition and population diversity present challenges to accurate genotype-to-appearance predictions.

Tailored nonsurgical cosmetic procedures are crucial for safely treating diverse skin types, especially skin of color.

This review discusses the use of microbial biosurfactants as a safer alternative to chemical surfactants in cosmetics due to their antibacterial, moisturizing, and low toxicity properties, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This study observed that human hair macrofibrils predominantly exhibit a double-twist architecture with varying inter-macrofibril angles, advancing insights into their structural organization and mechanical implications.

This study confirms that the proposed universal model for hard α-keratin structure applies to all known forms across various mammalian species.

This study found that modern styling cosmetics can significantly alter hair structure through changes in interfacial chemistry and cohesion, particularly when applied to already damaged hair.

This article reviews the generation of complex integument patterns through genetic, chemical, and environmental influences, with applications in tissue engineering, but reports no new experimental results.

Hard α-keratin in hair has a unique, nonordered structure, different from other fibers.

In this review, researchers explored thermo-responsive polymers and their applications in nanomedicine, highlighting their role in targeted drug delivery, gene therapy, and imaging, enabled by their temperature-sensitive phase transitions to ensure localized therapeutic action and minimize damage to healthy tissues.

This study found that low-coverage whole-genome sequencing followed by imputation effectively identifies genetic variants associated with wool traits in Angora rabbits, offering a cost-efficient method for genetic research and breeding.

In this study, researchers found that the female plumage color variations in the common cuckoo are linked to the female-restricted genome and suggest this pattern is maintained by balancing selection, sharing ancestry with the oriental cuckoo.

This study found that novel thiol-reactive cross-linking agents, particularly APA, significantly improved the tensile strength and elasticity of human hair fibers by effectively regenerating disulfide bridges, with potential applications for advanced hair repair treatments in the cosmetic industry.

In this study, the authors identified and characterized the Get3d protein, conserved across plants and photosynthetic bacteria, which localizes to the chloroplast in Arabidopsis thaliana and potentially plays a role in tail-anchored protein targeting, linked to photosynthesis homeostasis.

This review highlights recent advances in the design of nanocarrier systems for transdermal drug delivery, detailing their potential to improve treatment precision for dermatologic conditions despite challenges like formulation stability and scalability.

This review highlights the potential of 3D bioprinting in developing functional, patient-specific artificial skin, addressing limitations of traditional skin grafts and advancing regenerative medicine applications.

This study reviews the potential to repurpose human hair waste, often discarded from places like barber shops and hospitals, into valuable raw materials for chemical and materials science applications, despite existing challenges in its utilization.

This research identified a genetic mutation in Brachypodium distachyon that initially allows root hair initiation but fails to elongate them, while also affecting root growth and nitrate sensitivity; the mutation is linked to a previously uncharacterized cyclin-dependent kinase-like gene.

This review compiles information on traditional uses, phytoconstituents, and biological activities of Eclipta prostrata but reports no new experimental results; the authors call for more studies to understand its pharmacological mechanisms.

In this study, application of salicylic acid solution on mouse skin showed histologic changes without causing wounds or inflammation, observed immediately and up to 48 hours after treatment.

This study discovered previously unknown structures in human hair shafts that may stabilize hair structurally and physicochemically.

This study used advanced optical imaging techniques to investigate nanoparticle and dye penetration in human skin, finding that nanoparticles mainly resided in the stratum corneum and accumulated in skin folds and hair follicles, while highlighting that sunscreen-based nanoparticles appear unlikely to pose safety concerns.

This review discusses the biology of hair follicles across various species and their role in fiber quality, but reports no new experimental findings.

This review of acne management strategies highlights current treatments, such as topical and systemic therapies, procedural methods, and dietary changes, while also discussing emerging options like biologics and probiotics as potential future treatments, emphasizing personalized care due to acne's complex nature.

This study reviews the biology and cosmetic treatment of hair, emphasizing future advancements in safer, more effective procedures to meet consumer needs for hair care.

This study observed that maize plants enhance phosphorus acquisition by promoting both root hair growth and lateral root development in response to localized nutrient patches, highlighting a complementary root trait trade-off.

This review discusses current knowledge about the TRPV3 ion channel's role in skin functions and diseases, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target for pain and itch, though suitable ligands are limited.

This study reviews how individuals with diabetes experience accelerated skin aging and explores the implications for cosmetic treatments, highlighting the need for diabetes-informed dermatologic approaches due to limited evidence on safety and efficacy in this population.

The researchers reported that topical application of small-molecule Wnt inhibitors significantly reduced fibrosis and promoted regenerative wound healing in mice.
