This study found that overexpression of a mutated ornithine decarboxylase transgene in mice led to complete hair loss, which could be prevented or reversed with an ODC inhibitor.

This description of dystrophy hypotrichosis associated with juvenile macular dystrophy provides an overview of this rare disorder characterized by short hair from birth and progressive loss of central vision but reports no new findings.

This study found that dissecting cellulitis of the scalp was more common in young men, with an association between longer disease duration and increased severity, but no link between age and severity.

In this study, BECD-treated wavy hair showed reduced undulation and improved straightening after drying, as BECD enhanced the contraction and rearrangement of molecular chains in non-keratin proteins, unlike untreated hair, which retained its wavy structure.

This study found that treating human dermal fibroblast cells with ginsenoside Rd increased the expression of mRNA associated with the dermal-epidermal junction, suggesting potential as an anti-aging cosmetic ingredient.

In this 24-week study, oral supplementation with hydrolyzed low-molecular-weight porcine placental peptides significantly improved scalp elasticity, hair diameter, tensile strength, surface roughness, and luster compared to placebo, suggesting its potential as a nutritional intervention for age-related scalp and hair changes.

This study developed a quantitative measure for scoring hair surface damage from SEM images and found it accurately classified hair damage caused by explosive blasts, similar to an existing classification system.

This study developed an in vitro 3D organoid model using dermal papilla spheroids and found that it enhances growth factor expression and extracellular matrix production, which could aid drug screening for hair regeneration.

This review discusses recent advancements in understanding how the extracellular matrix regulates epidermal stem cell fate and highlights the significance of ECM in stem cell maintenance and differentiation, with implications for regenerative medicine.

In this study, researchers characterized a dehydroepiandrosterone hydroxylating enzyme system in hair follicles similar to the liver monooxygenase system, noting its inhibition by carbon monoxide and its dependence on NADPH.

This study established a new reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography method to accurately and precisely quantify silodosin and dutasteride in mixtures, meeting International Council of Harmonization validation criteria for stability, sensitivity, and recovery.

This case study highlights an unusual presentation of folliculitis decalvans by age and sex, emphasizing early diagnosis due to its chronic nature and irreversible consequences.

This study explored the potential of human hair keratin as a filtration material, finding that it may effectively absorb the pollutants diclofenac and perfluorobutanesulfonate. The researchers reported significant binding affinities through molecular simulations, supporting further investigation into keratin's use for water purification.

Diphenyl ethers can potentially reduce excess oil production when applied on the skin, helping treat conditions like acne.

This study found that desmosomal adhesion plays a crucial role in epithelial morphogenesis and cell positioning, equivalent in importance to that of adherens junctions.

This study used a multi-point tension test method to evaluate hair damage over time and found it useful for assessing the effects of cosmetics and metal content on hair strength.

This research found that a novel dehydroepiandrosterone derivative (12) significantly reduces cell viability and increases apoptosis in testosterone-stimulated normal and tumor prostate cells, unlike finasteride and dutasteride, which also showed activity under dihydrotestosterone stimulation.

This study found that exposure to aqueous dispersion resin in aerosol form increased lung weights and caused histopathological changes in animals at higher concentrations, with a no-observable-effect level at 30 mg/m³.

This study found that Wnt ligands from CD133-positive dermal papilla cells are essential for maintaining hair growth by supporting cell signaling between different hair follicle structures.

This review outlines the practical use of reflectance confocal microscopy in dermatology, detailing its applications and considerations for diagnosing various skin conditions, but reports no new findings.

This study found that the Antera 3D® system provided an objective and sensitive method for assessing pediatric pathological scars, capturing significant changes in pigmentation, vascularity, and volume, compared to the traditional Vancouver Scar Scale and dermoscopy, which showed varied sensitivities across different scar parameters.

This article discusses various affiliations of the authors with no reference to new research findings.

This article discusses how dermoscopy, particularly "entomodermoscopy," aids in diagnosing skin infestations and infectious dermatoses, enhancing clinical evaluations, and monitoring treatment efficacy for conditions like scabies, pediculosis, myiasis, and tungiasis.

This study found that applying a surfactant solution with 2.5% selenium disulfide to the back of guinea pigs significantly increased telogen hair, which may relate to observations of diffuse hair loss in humans under intense exposure conditions.

This study found that the distribution of desmogleins is associated with specific types of keratinization and hair anchorage, as well as hypotrichosis.

This study found that dexamethasone effectively suppressed DHEAS levels in women with elevated levels using much lower doses than previously thought, without significant adverse effects.

This study found that Demodex infestation was present in 21% of healthy volunteers, with higher rates in older individuals and more common in PUM personnel than students.

This study reports a highly sensitive MEMS silicon-hair device that mimics hair follicle functions by detecting minimal forces and moments, including electrostatic attraction and surface tension of liquids.
