This review focuses on hydrogel microsphere-mediated strategies to improve organoid culture by addressing deficiencies in extracellular matrix organization, potentially enhancing the physiological accuracy and clinical translatability of osteomuscular in vitro models as reported in this study.

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 found that topical application of carpronium chloride led to arteriolar vasodilation and increased blood flow in rat mesenteric arterioles, without affecting systemic blood pressure.

This study found that incorporating cell-adhesive ligands into 3D peptide hydrogels supports the survival and osteogenic differentiation of human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells.

This study examined developing hair cortex with electron microscopy and found that keratin fibrils form between specific regions in hair follicles and aggregate into twisted cables.

This study identified Sciellin, a new protein precursor to the cornified envelope in keratinocytes, with unique solubility properties hinting at its potential role in envelope assembly.

This article describes the structure and components of hair cuticle cells and their intercellular junctions but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, a porous keratin hydrogel derived from wool hair demonstrated strong mechanical properties and supported the growth of various animal cells, indicating potential as a scaffold in tissue engineering.

This study found that mild skin injuries in rats, especially those dosed with dihydrotachysterol, lead to mineral deposits in hair follicle tissue within 6-12 hours, as confirmed by chemical and X-ray diffraction analyses.

In this study, researchers investigated the formation of spherical crystals of minoxidil in various alcoholic solvents, discovering new types like spherulite aggregates and a unique butterfly-shaped crystal, with the spherulite aggregates showing improved powder flow properties compared to other forms.

This study found that split-head paired design trials are as effective as whole-head parallel design trials in differentiating anti-dandruff shampoos through scalp flaking measurements, but are more efficient and cost-effective, requiring fewer participants to achieve similar results.

This scoping review explores devices that mechanically process lipoaspirate for cell-based therapies but finds insufficient evidence to determine their clinical effectiveness due to lack of standardization and data variability.

This study observed that many couples in North America undergo IUI or IVF for male infertility without specialized male factor evaluations, potentially overlooking reversible causes.

This article discusses the challenges and realities of a long-term career in emergency medicine, encouraging residents to consider diverse skills and career paths to sustain enthusiasm and adaptability over decades.

In this study, the use of finasteride in young patients may be linked to a higher risk of anxiety, depression, and suicide-related adverse events.

This study proposes that the terminal tuft structure in sensory nerve endings, involving Schwann cell processes and axon fingers, potentially plays a role in mechano-electric transduction in rats.

This study found that in Arabidopsis root hairs, mild chitosan treatment triggered callose deposition and slowed growth, while a higher concentration inhibited growth without callose deposition, indicating different responses based on chitosan concentration.

This study investigated pilomatrixoma, a benign skin tumor, and found that irregular expression of β-catenin and Lef-1 in transitional cells may contribute to amorphous debris and cyst formation.

This study observed that in live rodents, actin filaments adjust their structure to facilitate membrane transfer between cellular compartments; linear filaments stabilize fused membranes, while branched filaments, connected by the protein Ezrin, drive integration, demonstrating actin's role in adapting to membrane biophysical changes.

This study found that drying finasteride solvates at 85 °C for one day produced a metastable anhydrous form.

In this in-vitro study, researchers found that shampoo-induced coacervates structurally resemble cationic polymers and contain anionic surfactants that may stimulate the scalp upon exposure to water.

This study found that scanning electron microscopy with argon sputter etching visualizes hair lipids at the cell membrane complex as distinctive convex structures, shedding light on their role and localization in human hair.

This article discusses the structure and protective function of pangolin scales, emphasizing their composition of α-keratins and β-keratins, and highlights evolutionary keratin diversification in tetrapods; it reports no new empirical findings.

This study found that keratin immunohistochemistry suggests neoplastic cells in eccrine and apocrine poromas are closely related to dermal sweat duct cells, but cannot differentiate these poromas based solely on keratin patterns.

The researchers reported that hydrogels made from methacrylated glycol chitosan and hyaluronic acid with chondroitin sulfate may be suitable for load bearing soft tissue repair, showing enhanced chondrocyte viability and metabolic activity.

This study introduced a rapid rehydration approach for creating customizable, multifunctional hydrogel sensors, enabling precise detection of surface deformations and easy integration of layers, highlighting its potential for standardized and adaptable manufacturing of wearable devices.

This study found that hydrophilic carbon dots (Lys-CA-CDs) induced bovine serum albumin to form more wormlike fibrils, while inhibiting hen egg white lysozyme from forming hair-like fibrils.

The girl's "dandruff" was actually harmless hair casts, not a hygiene issue.

In this study, researchers found that the cornification process in the nuptial pads of Xenopus frogs involves the expression of the type II hair keratin homolog, krt59, and is regulated by the transcription factor hoxc13, showing similarities to mammalian hair evolution.
