This study showed that chemical and mechanical treatments significantly alter the nanoscale surface properties of hair, affecting its roughness, mechanical stiffness, adhesion, and surface potential.

This study reports on the biochemical characteristics of S100A3 protein in human hair cuticle, notably finding its N-terminal methionine is acetylated and has a slightly lower isoelectric point compared to the recombinant version.

This study found that Flammulina velutipes polysaccharides-derived scaffolds greatly enhanced wound healing and hair follicle regeneration in a rat model, particularly with the FPS/NaOH variant showing the best results.

This study found that Gsdma3 mutations in mice led to thicker skin and longer hair infundibula, possibly by negatively regulating β-catenin expression in the epidermis.

This article discusses melanocyte development from neural crest cells and reports no new experimental results; the authors suggest a broader range of functions for melanocytes than previously recognized.

In this study, a mixture of tocopherol acetate, L-menthol, and stevioside was more effective in promoting hair growth in mice compared to tocopherol acetate or L-menthol alone.

This chapter reviews skin components, wound healing mechanisms, and the potential of biomaterials to enhance skin repair and regeneration, without offering new experimental results.

This study identified 374 eQTLs in scalp hair follicles associated with genes involved in metabolic, mitotic, immune processes, and responses to steroid hormones, contributing insights into genetic variation and hair traits.

This study found that inhibiting arachidonate 12-lipoxygenase (ALOX12) may enhance hair cuticle maturation by increasing S100A3 protein citrullination and promoting cuticular differentiation in isolated human hair follicles.

This paper provides a comprehensive review of melanocytes' roles in skin biology, focusing on their pigmentation and immune functions, and suggests potential research opportunities for preventing and treating skin disorders.

This study revealed key cellular dynamics and interactions during early embryonic mouse skin development, highlighting complex transitions from precursor states to diverse multilayered structures.

This study observed that, in mouse ear epidermal stem cells, a cell-autonomous size control mechanism involving the RB pathway dictates S phase entry timing based on cell size, despite external environmental variations affecting growth rates.

This study found that deleting the Mof gene in mouse skin leads to severe defects in skin cell self-renewal, differentiation, and hair follicle growth, indicating that MOF is crucial for mitochondrial and ciliary gene expression and essential for skin development.

This article reviews the role of trichoscopy in diagnosing hair weathering conditions like trichorrhexis nodosa and trichoptilosis and suggests treatment by avoiding harmful chemical and physical factors, but it provides no new research findings.

This study demonstrated that blocking S100A3 in mice inhibited hair growth by delaying the anagen phase and reducing the number of hair follicles, suggesting S100A3 as a potential target for hair loss treatments.

In this review, researchers summarize key factors in constructing skin organoids, including cell source and assembly methods, and emphasize advances such as air-liquid interface culture for improving tissue development, aiming to guide standardized protocols and future clinical applications.

This review explores the potential of herbal therapies and modern delivery methods for managing premature hair greying, highlighting promising plant-based treatments and emphasizing the need for clinical trials to validate their effectiveness.

In this study, researchers suggest that hair follicle miniaturization in conditions like androgenetic alopecia may result from impaired conversion of quiescent stem cells to progenitor cells, influenced by the follicular niche, its collagen network, and various mechanical constraints.

This review discusses current knowledge of keratinocyte stem cell dynamics, including their regenerative roles and potential applications beyond wound healing, but presents no new clinical findings.
