Targeting drugs to hair follicles can treat skin conditions, but reaching deep follicle areas is hard and needs more research.

This review provides an overview of the etiology, presentation, and diagnosis of steatocystomas, including subtypes and complications, while detailing their history, epidemiology, and management strategies.

This study utilized polarized light microscopy to examine hair shafts in ten children with rare genetic disorders, such as Netherton syndrome and ectodermal dysplasia, providing valuable diagnostic insights into hair thickness, composition, and structural irregularities associated with these conditions.

This source reviews the application of various natural substances, particularly plant extracts from the Ayurvedic system, in promoting hair growth, addressing common issues like pigmentation, dandruff, and hair loss.

This article presents an overview of uncombable hair syndrome, emphasizing its clinical and molecular characteristics and noting systemic manifestations such as neuropsychiatric, ophthalmic, and cardiopulmonary issues.

This review discusses potential causes of alopecia and hair overgrowth in pediatric patients, detailing diagnostic techniques and treatments, but presents no new research findings.

In this study, nanoemulsion formulations were found to significantly enhance the skin retention of the antiseptic agent triclosan, with the optimal mixture being a low surfactant concentration, as demonstrated through quantitative and qualitative analysis using tape-stripping and micro CT scans.

This article presents diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations for cutaneous lupus erythematosus from the Polish Dermatological Society, but reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses various genetic and acquired skin diseases that can affect male fertility, highlighting the clinical management challenges and reports no new research findings.

This review discusses the role of Demodex mites in ocular demodecosis and various eye ailments, highlighting diagnostic methods but noting a lack of standardized treatments, with no new clinical results reported.

This study found that using 369LAB Lipid Bond, derived from plant oil triglycerides, can restore lipid content in damaged hair to natural levels and improve hair strength, integrity, and resilience after a single application, with benefits persisting even after discontinuation.

This study observed that in frizzled 6 null mice, initially uncorrelated hair follicle orientations develop into highly ordered patterns over time, suggesting possible mechanisms for biological structure patterning.

This research studied European human hair, finding that cysteic acid and protein carbonylation increased with both chemical and photochemical oxidation. Protein carbonylation was highlighted as a more sensitive marker for photochemical oxidation, providing better in situ visualization of hair damage than cysteic acid.

In this study, researchers used atomic force microscopy to capture and analyze morphological changes in the surface of healthy hair, identifying features such as pitting and rod-shaped macro-fibrillar elements, which could inform future research on hair conditions and care.

In this comprehensive review, researchers reported that macromolecules like type I collagen, keratin, and ceramides enhance hair health by improving follicular function and increasing hair density, strength, shine, and resilience, as shown in various in vitro, animal, and human studies.

This study observed that after hair cell loss in the mouse cochlea, supporting cells were replaced by migrating non-specialised cells, with genetic background affecting the rate of tissue re-organization.

This review highlights the potential of permeation enhancers to improve the delivery of active ingredients across the skin, optimizing therapeutic outcomes despite challenges posed by individual variability and environmental factors, according to the authors' analysis of current understanding and applications in skincare and transdermal therapies.

This article reviews how skin manifestations can aid in diagnosing various systemic diseases, focusing primarily on their association with rheumatologic conditions while also addressing vascular, granulomatous, and other disease impacts, aiming to provide dermatologists with practical diagnostic insights.

This paper critically reviews recent advances in the use of keratin-based biomaterials, highlighting their potential applications in wound healing, drug delivery, and tissue regeneration due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and ability to support cell growth.

This study found that pretreatment with KP-Cryst fusion proteins effectively protected Asian and Caucasian virgin hair from thermal damage by maintaining higher water content and preventing structural changes during heat application.

This article presents a comprehensive overview of hair microscopy techniques and their diagnostic potential for systemic and cutaneous disorders, emphasizing its usefulness in resource-limited settings and highlighting the underutilization of this non-invasive method due to lack of awareness.

This study explored a multidimensional approach to examine body hairs' physico-chemical properties, potentially supporting their use over scalp hairs in forensic and intoxication studies.

This study found that goat placenta extract, when combined with PEGylated liposomes and microspicule gel, significantly promoted hair regrowth in patients experiencing hair loss due to chemotherapy by enhancing hair cell proliferation without causing skin irritation over a 12-week application period.

This study presents an improved protocol for isolating and culturing whole neonatal cochlear explants, enabling detailed analysis of hair cells and spiral ganglion neuron cells while simplifying culture steps without sacrificing explant quality, and was successfully tested on mice and rat cochleas.

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.

In this study, researchers linked SARS-CoV-2 infection to telogen effluvium in some COVID-19 patients by observing the accumulation of viral proteins in hair follicle cells, which may trigger stress responses and cell death, suggesting hair follicles as a potential target in COVID-19.

This study found that peroxide-rich plasma-activated water caused minimal morphological damage to hair, while nitrate-rich plasma-activated water induced significant damage, especially in porous hair types.

This review highlights the critical role of mitochondrial dysfunction in hair loss, particularly androgenetic alopecia, and explores potential therapies targeting mitochondrial pathways to improve hair health, underscoring the need for further research in this area.

This article discusses genetic hair disorders in children, outlining diagnostic approaches and highlighting the significance of distinguishing isolated hair defects from those associated with syndromes, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that nanodiamonds of various sizes can penetrate different layers of murine skin in vitro, reaching hair follicle niches, and may be suitable for multimodal imaging applications.
