This study characterized hair from a patient with a ribosomopathy and identified distinct differences, including reduced hair thickness and lipid content, compared to family members.

This chapter discusses the structure and function of the skin, detailing its protective roles and the layers that comprise it, but reports no new research findings.

This study proposed a network model for the cross-linked structure of keratin-associated proteins in hair and wool fibers, suggesting notable differences between the two, potentially affecting hair fiber elasticity.

This study found that adding dithiodiglycolic acid to the hair straightening process decreased chemical damage and preserved the structural integrity of the hair matrix compared to using thioglycolic acid alone.

This article reviews the types and characteristics of adrenal cortex tumors, including their hormone secretion and detection as incidental findings, but presents no new research results.

Human hair structure varies by ethnicity, and certain treatments can improve hair condition and appearance.

Understanding skin structure and development helps diagnose and treat skin disorders.

This research explores the use of serial block-face scanning electron microscopy to model the complex architecture of sheep wool fibres, focusing on the role and distribution of para- and ortho-cortical cells in determining wool curliness, though the mechanism remains unclear.

This study optimized the extraction process for abomasum protein from Tianshan red deer, identifying two proteins with anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor activities, suggesting they could be beneficial in foods and nutraceuticals.

This study found that Florida manatees have unique types of specialized nerve endings in their vibrissae, which assist in their sensory and manipulative functions in aquatic environments.

This study found that while genetic ancestry affects physical appearance traits in Latin American populations, it accounts for only a modest portion of the observed variation.

This review discusses the unique characteristics and disorders of Asian hair, emphasizing the need for more comprehensive studies in this area.

This study found that while yak belly hair is chemically similar to human hair, its higher porosity and lower mechanical strength limit its usefulness as a substitute in hair dye development.

This chapter provides an overview of the complex chemical and physical structure of the hair surface, detailing how factors like ethnicity, environmental stress, and cosmetic treatments can alter its properties and influence the adhesion of hair care products.

This study reported that albino Wistar rats exposed to chemical hair straighteners showed significant hair fiber damage and scalp skin deterioration, which worsened with repeated and prolonged application, highlighting the cytotoxic potential of these products and potential systemic risks.

In this study, after long-term observation of human scalp hair follicles over 16 years, the researchers found that a topical 5% minoxidil solution could stimulate hair regrowth after a period of dormancy, though with reduced growth rates and hair diameter.

In this study, aspartame consumption during gestation in rats was associated with significant histological changes and increased apoptosis in the skin of their neonatal pups.

This article discusses the aging-related changes in hair structure and function, and examines various treatments like light therapy, minoxidil, and finasteride aimed at mitigating hair thinning and loss, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane penetrates hair fibers and improves the mechanical resistance of dry hair, addressing the needs for increased body in fine hair.

This study on Indian dromedary camel breeds investigated the KRTAP7 protein, finding all four breeds shared an identical gene sequence, with 13 phosphorylation and glycosylation sites influencing hair characteristics, alongside predicted interactions with other biosynthesis-related proteins.

This study introduced a novel, weakly supervised method for segmenting hair in Scanning Electron Microscope images using simple image-level annotations, achieving over 30% improvement in mean Hausdorff Distance compared to Unet and SAM, while enhancing interpretability and refinement.

This review discusses the potential for surface-modified nanostructured lipid carriers to enhance hair regrowth by improving drug absorption and stability, focusing on their use with agents like minoxidil and finasteride for hair loss treatment.

This study investigated how vitamin A deficiency, certain diseases, and pregnancy affect cattle coat hair structure, finding notable keratin fibril interference under vitamin A deficiency and structural modifications in chronic renal failure, while pregnant cows exhibited superior hair tensile strength compared to non-pregnant ones.

This paper discusses the adverse effects of finasteride, including sexual dysfunction and depression, and suggests that treatment customization based on individual factors like hand preference and sexual orientation could improve outcomes and reduce these side effects.

This study found that high-fructose intake in rats led to significant kidney histological changes, such as podocyte damage and inflammatory responses, which persisted even after returning to a standard diet.

This study identified new geometric and mechanical parameters for curly and kinky/coily hair, which may inform more effective personal care products tailored to these hair types.

This study used quantitative methods to identify new geometric and mechanical parameters of curly and kinky/coily hair, aiming to improve classification and develop better personal care products for these hair types.

This article reviews the genetic and protein interactions involved in hair growth, highlighting regulatory sequences, expression patterns, and potential genetic modifications, but presents no new experimental findings.

This study found that the promoter region of the sheep KRTAP11-1 gene drives specific transcriptional activity in wool follicles, suggesting it may regulate hair keratinocyte specificity.

This study found that while molecular hair structures were nearly identical across individuals, genetic factors seem to influence specific lipid compositions, as seen in identical-patterned hair from parent-child pairs and identical twins, but not fraternal twins.
