This study presents the first detailed 3D models of the complete K1/K10 keratin dimer and identifies structural features and interactions that may inform understanding of keratin filament assembly.

Lower acetylation makes chitin nanofibers thinner and more suitable for various uses.

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 review re-examines hair blowouts as a material science process, where water acts as a plasticizer altering keratin's glass-transition temperature, allowing for temporary hair shaping through a moisture-induced matrix state change under heat and tension.

This study found that repeated cycles of wetting and blow-drying hair fibers can cause cracks in the hair cuticles, particularly among individuals who frequently blow-dry their hair.

Keratin structure changes during keratinization, but the exact model remains uncertain.

In this study, researchers found that the primary cause of slippage and detachment of keratin capsules in hair extensions is the re-contamination by oily residues from the hairdresser's hands, rather than the use of hair care products like masks or conditioners.

This study found that chemically modifying human hair through esterification or disulfide reduction and alkylation affects the hair's viscoelastic properties, including stability, integrity, and response to moisture.

This work explores using a liquid crystalline phase to stabilize benzoyl peroxide nanosuspensions, suggesting a promising method to potentially reduce the side effects of acne treatments.

This study reported that ultrafine gelatin nanoparticles produced by a modified desolvation technique offer advantages for dermal drug delivery, including smaller particle size, higher drug loading, and faster release compared to traditional gelatin nanoparticles.

This study reports the development of a novel protocol to purify human TRPV3 ion channels, revealing functional properties and differences in ligand interactions, enabling further structural and functional research.

This study observed that hair fibers in older women become more curved with age, decreasing hair luster due to their disordered alignment and structural differences between the convex and concave sides.

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

This review discusses the chemical stability of protein envelopes found in the epidermis and other stratified squamous epithelia, but reports no new clinical results.

Solid Lipid Particle technology makes retinol more stable, effective, and gentle on the skin.

In this study, L-cysteine treated with the Trivedi Effect® showed significantly increased isotopic abundance ratios, which may enhance its stability and shelf-life.

In this study, treatment with aqueous KCN selectively converted disulfide bonds to monosulfide crosslinks in hair, leading to changes in microstructural properties and rubberlike elasticity under specific laboratory conditions.

This study found that hair membrane fluidity is low in the cuticle but high in the cortex and medulla, with treatments like ionic surfactants and oleic acid increasing fluidity in hydrated hair; however, dehydration significantly reduces fluidity throughout the hair.

This study found that a highly resistant structure, located at the interface between the cuticle and cortex of human hair, acts as a penetration barrier, which the authors propose to name the "cuticle anchored resistant base" or CARB.

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.

In this study, ginger peel polysaccharides modified with zinc reduced inflammation in zebrafish by altering cytokine expression, suggesting potential for treating chronic inflammation-related diseases.

This study investigated nanocomposite scaffolds made from alginate, chitosan, and graphene oxide to promote the proliferation of spermatogonial stem cells, finding the ALGCS/GO30 scaffold to be particularly effective due to increased proliferation markers and PLZF protein expression compared to controls.

In this study, researchers developed a silk fibroin-based hydrogel with added curcumin and pluronic F127, which displayed antibacterial properties against Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and showed potential for skin tissue regeneration, without cytotoxicity.

This study reviewed chitosan composites, specifically those with silver or zinc oxide nanoparticles, highlighting their enhanced antimicrobial efficacy and potential biomedical applications despite pure chitosan's limitations such as pH sensitivity and poor solubility.

This review highlights cellulose-based materials' potential in skin disease treatments, emphasizing their smart, responsive design for various conditions, with insights into their roles in wound healing, infection prevention, and wearable monitoring.

In this study, researchers synthesized biomedical polyurethanes incorporating curcumin and varying PEG content to enhance water solubility and control curcumin release, finding that higher PEG content improved hydrophilicity, swelling, and degradation, while maintaining excellent antioxidant and antibacterial activities, suggesting promise for biomedical applications.

This study developed a nanohydrogel containing itraconazole and mometasone for treating scalp and beard fungal infections, demonstrating improved antifungal efficacy, longer retention, and better patient acceptance compared to conventional treatments.

In this study, quercetin nanocrystals stabilized with glycyrrhizic acid were developed as a new treatment strategy for androgenetic alopecia, which significantly reduced DHT levels and improved hair regrowth in a mouse model, indicating synergistic potential for clinical application.
