In this study, cell membrane remodeling with a thermoresponsive boronic acid copolymer was shown to rapidly form spheroids from cancer or cardiac cell lines under standard conditions, promising advances in tissue engineering.

This study reports that carbamazepine can self-assemble into stable channel structures without guest polymers, while griseofulvin relies on guest molecules for structural stability in drug-polymer inclusion complexes.

This study analyzes the fine structure and protein distribution in monotreme hairs, finding similarities with other mammals and detailing unique immunocytochemical features in their inner root sheaths.

This study found that the keratin matrix in mammalian hard α-keratins is crucial for maintaining stiffness in water by controlling intermediate filament hydration.

This study found that keratin filament networks in SG1 cells of mice undergo dynamic changes during cornification, impacting the barrier function of the stratum corneum.

This study comprehensively compared different crystalline forms of finasteride, including the new finasteride DMF solvate hemihydrate, to better understand their structural characteristics and intermolecular interactions.

This study found that involucrin likely plays a key role in forming the cornified material of the medulla and inner root sheath of human hair, contributing to its mechanical strength.

Natural products can safely and effectively treat various human diseases.

In this study, the researchers reconstructed Abraham's family pedigree from the Bible's book of Genesis to explore potential medical or genetic explanations for reported cases of familial infertility, linking historical accounts with plausible scientific reasoning.

This paper reviews the evolution of skin appendages and keratin-associated proteins among amniotes, proposing a model for their genetic divergence without new experimental results.

The researchers reported that scaffoldin, a protein identified in chicken embryos, likely plays a role in forming periderm granules and contributes to the soft cornification of embryonic epidermis.

In this study, researchers found that alpha-keratin homologs similar to those in mammalian hair are present in the claws of the lizard Anolis carolinensis, suggesting a structural role during claw formation.

This article reviews the pros and cons of co-washing for hair cleansing and presents no new clinical results; the authors describe potential residue buildup as a drawback.

This study found that using ionic liquid for specimen preparation allowed for observation of dermal papilla cells and their cilia in near-living conditions, reducing damage typically caused by conventional preparation methods.

This study found that washing hair with surfactants reduces the internal density of hair due to cuticle lifting, and suggests that a cuticle-sealing strategy can inhibit this effect and maintain hair homeostasis.

This study found that finasteride effectively prevented testosterone-induced kidney stone formation in renal tubular cells by reducing COM crystal adhesion and crystallization.

This article reviews the rare skin disorder ichthyosis with confetti, highlighting the potential for future therapies using revertant stem cells, and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that incorporating Canavalia ensiformis lectin into alginate and carboxymethylcellulose films enhanced angiogenic factor expression, suggesting these biopolymer films could be an effective alternative for wound treatment.

In this study, the combination of biologically engineered hyaluronic acid and polyquaternium-10 improved hyaluronic acid's retention and moisturizing effects on hair by forming a stable complex that increased binding affinity to keratin.

This study found that keratin-75, discovered in enamel tissue, is secreted by ameloblasts using an unconventional pathway involving the ER-Golgi-Intermediate-Compartment and Golgi, differing from typical cytokeratin localization.

Cornification evolved from keratinization in vertebrates, with differences between mammals and sauropsids.

This study identified the presence of recognizable organelles, such as lysosomes and mitochondria, in both the keratinized fiber and the hardened inner root sheath of the Romney wool follicle.

This discussion reviews the classification and naming of cutaneous cysts, proposing that cysts typically named cutaneous keratocyst and steatocystoma should be unified under the term "sebaceous duct cyst," but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that encapsulating dermal papilla spheroids in alginate hydrogel with extracellular matrix proteins increased alkaline phosphatase activity, suggesting an enhanced manipulation of dermal papilla activity.

In this case report, the authors describe a rare cystic panfolliculoma in an 84-year-old man's right conchal bowl, noting its potential to mimic other tumors like basal cell carcinoma, which complicates diagnosis.

This study suggests that human keratin fiber matrix has a well-defined nano-scale grainy structure rather than being amorphous, with grain size influenced by chemical treatments, temperature, humidity, and follicle-level factors.

This case report observed a subepidermal calcified nodule on the face of a 15-year-old boy, thought to originate from hair follicles, with calcium being eliminated through the skin.
