In this study, researchers found that the naked (N) gene in mice indirectly affects the synthesis of structural proteins in mouse hair, resulting in reduced high tyrosine protein content and unusual amino acid compositions.

This study found that mutations in the Sgk3 gene cause defective hair follicle development and altered hair cycling in mice, with variable phenotypic outcomes depending on different dysfunction patterns of the SGK3 protein.

This study found that moisture sorption properties of wool and hair fibers from various animals were similar, despite different structural features, with sorbed water being more ordered than liquid water.

This review discusses the limitations of current hair classification systems and highlights the need for standardized reporting of key hair characteristics to improve study comparisons; it reports no new results.

This study found that a single application of 'Lye' or 'No-Lye' chemical straighteners significantly reduced drug concentrations in hair samples from both drug-fortified standards and authentic drug users.

The researchers reported that keratin 33A is a structural protein specific to goat cashmere hair, with increased winter expression in high-cashmere-producing breeds.

This study reports promising preliminary results for using monoclonal antibodies to identify cashmere fibers, highlighting observed immunological differences from wool keratins.

This study found that injecting keratin into the skin of mice promoted hair growth, potentially through keratin's interaction with hair-forming cells and changes in the microenvironment.

This study developed a new proteomic method to identify and assess ancient hair proteins using only small amounts of sample, providing insights into hair protein alteration processes over time.

This retrospective review of hair samples from pediatric patients indicated that microscopic hair examination might be a useful first-line investigation for diagnosing various genetic conditions.

This review examines mechanical and chemical causes of hair fiber adhesion failure and fracture patterns in the cell membrane complex, but presents no new experimental results.

This study identified ten key hub genes and pathways crucial for understanding the molecular mechanism of hair growth by comparing dermal papilla cells in 2D and 3D cultures.

This study demonstrated that urea significantly accelerates the diffusion of poly(ethylene imine) into bleached human hair by increasing the diffusion coefficient twofold.

In this study, researchers found that washing hair 5–6 times per week results in higher satisfaction and better objective and subjective hair and scalp conditions among Asian populations, with no observed detrimental effects from frequent washing.

This study found that pelage abnormalities in Harlequin mutant mice are linked to severe AIF deficiency and associated with altered expression of genes related to hair structure.

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.

In this study, the authors concluded that a hydrolyzed eggwhite protein treatment promoted the reconnection of disulfide bonds in excessively bleached hair, after reduction and oxidation processes in permanent waving.

This article reviews the history, biology, genetics, prevention, conventional treatments, and herbal alternatives for hair loss, but reports no new research findings.

This study demonstrated that herbal therapy with oil extract increased triglyceride content in dog hair, suggesting potential benefits on coat quality that require further investigation.

This study reported that squarticles, nanoparticle carriers made from sebum-derived lipids, significantly enhanced minoxidil delivery to hair follicles in vitro, increasing follicular uptake sevenfold and minimizing systemic absorption compared to a free control solution, while showing good skin tolerability.

This review covers hair dye formulations, their mechanisms, and potential applications, but reports no new findings; the authors highlight the process of oxidative dyeing and repairing damaged hair.

The document explains the causes, types, diagnosis, and treatments of hair loss, and its psychological impact, especially on women.

This study analyzed the lipid composition of mouse hair, focusing on sphingolipids, and found significant differences in ceramides, glucosylceramides, and sphingomyelins between hair follicles and hair shafts.

This study found that in semi-coarse wool sheep of the Ukrainian Carpathian Mountain breed, changes in microflora and grease composition are linked to increased felting in wool, due to wetter, more alkaline fleece conditions that promote bacterial and mold growth and alter fatty acid balances.

This study demonstrates that a novel autologous hair follicle-derived epithelial sheet can effectively repigment skin in patients with stable vitiligo, offering a potential new treatment option.

This case report discusses a young girl with loose anagen hair syndrome, highlighting the importance of recognizing the condition early to avoid misdiagnosis and unnecessary treatments, and noting her spontaneous improvement with conservative management.

This review highlights that microscopic analysis of human scalp hair remains crucial in forensic science for crime scene investigations, despite limitations such as subjectivity and potential misidentification, and notes that integrating DNA analysis and digital imaging could enhance accuracy.

This study evaluated a new herbal shampoo made from traditional plants and found it to have effective cleansing properties, moderate foam stability, and environmental safety, suggesting it as a favorable natural alternative to synthetic shampoos.

In this study, rice water was reviewed as a cosmetic ingredient, highlighting its safety, stability, and possible benefits such as anti-inflammatory and anti-aging effects, as well as improvements in hair growth and skin hydration.

This study formulated an herbal anti-dandruff shampoo powder using Nyctanthes arbortristis as the main ingredient, and found that it exhibited significant anti-dandruff properties, beneficial physicochemical characteristics, and promising in-vitro results compared to a marketed medicated product.
