This review discusses hair shaft disorders, noting the lack of specific treatments and recommending general care practices to prevent hair damage, with some improvement possible during puberty or with treatments like minoxidil.

This study found that reinforcing clayey soil with human hair fibers increased its strength significantly, both before and after freeze-thaw cycles, suggesting its potential use in cold climate zones.

This study examined the unique structural features of sinus hair follicles in the shrew Sorex unguiculatus, which suggest a specialization for vibration sensing.

This study optimized conditions for quantifying minoxidil using high-performance liquid chromatography, establishing specific parameters for mobile phase, flow rate, column temperature, and retention time.

This study evaluates a framework using neural networks and machine learning techniques to classify and detect Alopecia Areata from hair images, aiming for accurate differentiation between healthy hair and the condition.

This study observed that direct exposure to androgens in Western clawed frogs differentially affects thyroid receptor and deiodinase gene expression in male and female tissues, offering insight into sex-specific metabolic pathway activation.

This study demonstrated that incorporating human hair fiber into soft clayey soil significantly enhances subgrade strength and reduces cracking compared to unreinforced soil, as confirmed by unconfined compressive strength and CBR tests.

This study introduces a novel image enhancement method that significantly improves the visual quality of low-light sports images by utilizing improved bilateral filtering and the CLAHE algorithm, achieving a 65.24% improvement in color and edge detail preservation compared to state-of-the-art methods on the LOL dataset.

This study suggests that Demodex mites might universally inhabit adult humans, with a phylogenetic analysis indicating potential undiscovered lineages of the D. brevis species based on geographic differences.

This review provides an overview of the molecular evolution of corneous beta-proteins in reptiles and birds, highlighting their distinct genetic origin and role in epidermal structures, but reports no new results.

This study suggests that the keratins found in reptile and bird skin appendages evolved independently from mammalian hair keratins, highlighting convergent evolution in these species.

This study identified a fungal sulfotransferase enzyme, FgSULT1, from *Fusarium graminearum*, expanding the sulfotransferase superfamily and offering new biocatalytic methods for producing bioactive sulfates.

This study investigated pangolin skin genetics, finding that while sweat gland-related genes are not inactivated, several genes related to sebaceous gland function are, which highlights complex evolutionary adaptations in mammalian skin.

This research found that the widely used herbicide atrazine may alter Northern leopard frog development, affecting metamorphosis success, sex ratio, and hormone-related gene expression.

In this study, CRISPR/Cas9-engineered Arabidopsis mutants revealed diverse functional differences among expansin proteins essential for root hair growth, highlighting variability in protein trafficking, cell wall binding, and evolutionary changes in critical residues affecting wall loosening.

This study reports on a 14-year-old male with refractory diffuse alopecia areata who achieved full hair density restoration after three monthly sessions of microneedling combined with triamcinolone, dutasteride, and synthetic exosome treatment, highlighting exosomes' potential for enhancing traditional therapies in autoimmune hair loss cases.

In this research, sequencing the chloroplast genomes of 10 Sansevieria trifasciata cultivars allowed the identification of a trnT-psbD deletion marker capable of distinguishing closely related species, and highlighted evolutionary links with Dracaena, contributing molecular tools for taxonomy and phylogenetic studies in Asparagaceae.

This study found that the Florida worm lizard has lost certain genes associated with claw development, which are present in other lizard species with claws, suggesting a link between the evolution of their limbless body and the loss of claw-related genes.

This study found that ROR2 plays a crucial role in the regulation of hair follicle stem cell self-renewal and maintenance, particularly by compensating for the absence of β-catenin.

This study found that Myc activation in mouse epidermis impairs keratinocyte adhesion and motility by downregulating extracellular matrix and cytoskeleton proteins, affecting hair lineage differentiation.

Estrogen receptor α controls hair growth cycles and skin thickness in male mice.

This study found that significant hair loss in about one-third of patients after vertical gastroplasty was reversed by zinc supplementation.

This study analyzed changes in hair diameter and density with age in Caucasian women, highlighting variations in perception of hair amount over time.

This study suggests that women with polycystic ovary syndrome may have a distinct metabolomic profile, differing in levels of amino acids, organic acids, and lipids compared to controls.

This study reports that the duration of hair loss is positively associated with the severity of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in African-American women.

This study found that extensive cuticle damage from diperisophthalic acid oxidation did not alter the tensile properties of human hair, suggesting that these properties are mainly due to the cortex rather than the cuticle.

Minoxidil helps treat severe high blood pressure.

Minoxidil lowers blood pressure and increases heart efficiency, but may raise lung artery pressure in some people.
