This study found that micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) was highly effective for analyzing the cross-sectional geometry of hair fibres, including the medulla in highly curled hair, but less effective than scanning electron microscopy for surface details.

This study introduces a modular fiber model to investigate how changes in microstructural properties of wool affect its critical buckling load, highlighting potential uses and areas needing further research in wool fiber biophysics.

This review explains the genetic diversity of sheep wool keratin-associated protein genes and explores how this variation might be leveraged for selective breeding to enhance wool fiber traits.

In this scoping review, researchers observed that while AI-assisted trichoscopy holds promise for standardized assessments of hair and scalp disorders, its clinical translation is limited by small proprietary datasets, inconsistent validation protocols, and a scarcity of real-world clinical studies.

This study found that a 5-mg daily dose of transdermal testosterone cream in postmenopausal women restored testosterone levels to those typical of premenopausal women.

This review discusses the growing role of colorimetric sensors in food safety, highlighting their potential to enhance detection accuracy and manageability, while also noting challenges such as environmental interference and the need for further industrial validation.

This review discusses the potential benefits and challenges of using extracellular vesicles in aesthetic medicine but reports no new clinical results, highlighting the need for rigorous validation and stronger regulatory oversight.

This study found that in a mouse model, betamethasone dipropionate reduced epidermal thickness while fish oil unexpectedly increased it, validating optical coherence tomography as an effective measurement tool.

In this study, hair samples from Mexican women were found to be intermediate in diameter and shape between Asian and Caucasian hair, exhibiting high intra- and inter-individual variability and unexpected levels of tensile damage.

This study found that mink pelts with "singe" and "red hip" defects often exhibit split hair tips and altered cuticle structures, which may contribute to their undesired metallic sheen.

This study examined hair from a mixed-heritage family and suggested that variations in pigment formation significantly influence hair form, including the occurrence of twist-knots.

This review summarizes advancements in forensic DNA phenotyping for appearance, ancestry, and age prediction from crime scene samples, reporting no new research findings but highlighting areas needing further research and validation.

In this study, distinct metabolic profiles were identified in women with PCOS, suggesting potential biomarkers for diagnosis based on changes in lipid and androgen metabolism.

This review categorizes 59 modifications of the Dermatology Life Quality Index across multiple studies, highlighting the need for further validation of these customized health-related quality of life tools in dermatology.

This study identified a four-gene loop as a non-invasive biomarker that selectively activates in alopecia areata, providing a precise target for JAK inhibitor treatments.

This study identified changes in transcription factor gene expression across various signaling pathways during inner ear hair cell regeneration in birds, revealing patterns and potential new pathways for future investigation.

This article reviews strategies for serological testing in diagnosing ILD linked to systemic rheumatic diseases and introduces a potential diagnostic algorithm for pulmonologists, while noting further validation is needed.

This study suggests that methotrexate use among rheumatoid arthritis patients is associated with patient-reported side effects and tolerability issues that may not be fully recognized by physicians.

This study found that citrullinated proteins, which are implicated in rheumatoid arthritis, were abundant in outer membrane vesicles from Porphyromonas gingivalis but nearly absent in mutants, validating their approach to citrullinated peptide identification.

This study found that human adult dermal fibroblasts can express markers typically associated with neural cells, suggesting potential pitfalls in relying on immunophenotyping alone for cell identity verification.

This study demonstrated that using morphometric and 3D reconstruction software to evaluate scalp biopsies in non-cicatricial alopecias may be feasible and sensitive for detecting subtle follicular changes.

In this study, researchers found that dermatological diseases like atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and hidradenitis suppurativa impact women's work performance and daily activities more severely than men's, with women reporting higher absenteeism and work impairment and lower work ability scores.

This review suggests that hyperspectral and terahertz imaging show promise in non-invasively assessing scalp changes associated with hair loss, but further validation is needed for clinical application.

This study used a multi-layer in silico framework to evaluate Korean herbal compounds for androgenetic alopecia, identifying Biochanin A, Saponin Re, and Emodin as potential topical candidates with distinct safety and affinity profiles, although these findings remain purely computational without experimental validation.

At the 21st Royan International Stem Cell Congress, researchers highlighted the growing integration in regenerative medicine, emphasizing advances in pluripotency, AI applications, and bioengineering for the development of accessible stem cell therapies.

This study found that certain genetic variants, specifically CYB5R1 and IL1A, may be linked to different types of acne scarring, with CYB5R1 associated with atrophic scarring and IL1A with fibrotic scarring, indicating a potential polygenic nature of acne scarring.

This review highlights the role of the brain–gut–skin axis in systemic inflammatory skin conditions, revealing potential interventions like microbiome-directed treatments and integrative therapies, though emphasizes the need for more robust clinical validation.

This review highlights that Trigonella foenum-graecum L. (fenugreek) shows promise as a versatile plant-based ingredient in cosmetics due to its phytochemicals, which offer benefits for skin and hair care, although further research is necessary for robust validation.

In this study, a computational analysis of promoter regions in human fertility-related genes identified several new candidate regulatory motifs, but these require further experimental validation due to the limitations of being an in silico examination.

This study analyzed gene expression profiles from multiple tissues to explore the molecular connections between obesity and immune-related processes, identifying potential links and pathways that may require further experimental validation to understand their roles in obesity fully.
