This case report describes a severe Sarcoptes scabiei infestation in a stray FIV-positive cat, which typically is a non-permissive host for the mite, leading to considerable clinical recovery after treatment.

This review synthesizes current knowledge on choriogenesis, the final stage of oogenesis in insects, by exploring the role of follicle cells, regulatory mechanisms of gene expression, and the biochemical makeup of the eggshell, while also highlighting structural diversity and adaptations across insect species.

This study found that scalp cooling resulted in visible hair retention in 53% of breast cancer patients undergoing Epirubicin/Cyclophosphamide and Paclitaxel treatment, with factors like hair bulb diameter, shaft diameter, and anagen rate significantly predicting outcomes.

This study used atomic force microscopy to identify significant morphological differences in hair from patients with lichen planopilaris compared to healthy controls, noting more scratches, uneven edges, and pitted scales in affected hair, which may aid future research on the condition.

This animal study found that YH0618 may alleviate doxorubicin-induced alopecia and affects proteins like keratin and Smad3, suggesting potential therapeutic targets. The researchers analyzed protein expression changes to understand YH0618's effects in treating chemotherapy-related hair loss.

This report discusses the Ninth World Congress for Hair Research and highlights the potential of hair follicle studies to advance understanding of various diseases, with no new clinical results presented.

This study found that in young men with post-finasteride syndrome, there are potential genetic risk factors associated with psychological and sexual dysfunctions, suggesting genetic screening may be beneficial before prescribing finasteride.

A missing mK6irs1 gene causes hair loss in mice.

This study found that essential oils from A. sinensis and L. sinense 'chuanxiong' were safe and significantly promoted hair regrowth in mice with dehydrotestosterone-induced androgenetic alopecia, outperforming 3% minoxidil in follicle number and dermal thickness improvements, suggesting potential use in hair loss treatments.

This study found that keratin immunohistochemistry suggests neoplastic cells in eccrine and apocrine poromas are closely related to dermal sweat duct cells, but cannot differentiate these poromas based solely on keratin patterns.

This study investigated the effects of different relaxer treatments on African-American hair, finding lab-made relaxer solutions caused less damage to hair topography than commercial systems.

In this study, researchers developed a simplified and reliable method to prepare human hair shaft samples, achieving over 75% protein extraction efficiency and improved keratin sequence coverage, with the approach showing high reproducibility across different labs and operators.

This study observed that particles sized 300-600 nm penetrate hair follicles more efficiently, likely due to alignment with the thickness of the human hair cuticula.

This study investigated the mechanical response of the human hair cuticle to strain and found that cuticular deformation directly corresponded with fiber elongation, revealing significant molecular-level changes in disulfide crosslinks but maintained structural stability, highlighting the role of the cuticle in stress resistance.

This study identified a novel keratin-associated protein, KAP24.1, which is specifically expressed in the human scalp and located in the hair cuticle.

This paper reviews hair structure and damage from grooming and cosmetic exposure but reports no new clinical findings; it suggests collaboration between dermatologists and cosmetic chemists to improve hair care products.

This study found that the S100A3 gene is exclusively expressed in hair follicle cells differentiating into hair shaft components in mice, suggesting its important role in hair formation.

In these studies, researchers found that Peruvian camelids reach mature skin follicle development early, with specific cuticular characteristics useful for distinguishing fleece types, while Bolivian llamas have a mature follicle apparatus present at birth.

This study reported that the treatment of hair with glyoxylic acid straighteners causes major conformational changes within the hair fiber due to interactions between carbonyl and keratin components.

This study found that skin exposure to toluene diisocyanate in mice creates immune-recognition reservoirs in the skin's stratum corneum and hair follicles, potentially leading to sensitization and allergic reactions.

This review explores theories on the evolution of hair from synapsid scales and glands, proposing mechanisms supported by comparative studies, but reports no new experimental findings.

In this clinical study, the use of potentiated zinc pyrithione shampoo improved scalp health and hair surface characteristics, suggesting that unhealthy scalp conditions may negatively impact pre-emergent hair's cuticle surface.
