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 found that sonography and electron microscopy revealed distinct abnormalities in hair follicle morphology in patients with androgenetic alopecia, which may aid in diagnosing and managing the condition.

In this study, human hair follicles showed varying expression of cholesterol transport proteins during the hair cycle, suggesting a potential role of cholesterol in hair growth and cycling.

This study found that transethosomal gel loaded with propranolol hydrochloride prolonged drug release and increased peak plasma concentration compared to an oral tablet, suggesting a promising alternative for delivery.

This article reviews recent hair restoration techniques evaluated in case studies at WHS/ISHRS workshops but reports no new clinical results, highlighting the need for further research with larger study groups.

This study found that Piezo2 channels are primarily located on sensory axon membranes in mechanosensory end organs, supporting a model where mechanical stimuli activate Aβ RA-LTMR neurons via axon protrusions.

This review discusses the role of scalp imaging techniques in trichology for researching drug delivery and toxicology, without presenting new clinical results.

This review discusses the challenges in diagnosing primary cicatricial alopecias and explores how improved communication and digital pathology could enhance diagnosis, but it reports no new clinical results.

Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM) is a useful tool for studying how drugs interact with skin and diagnosing skin disorders, despite some limitations.

This study demonstrates that the newly developed portable reflectance confocal microscope (PRCM) offers real-time, noninvasive monitoring of wound healing processes by visualizing skin morphology in both mice and humans.

The document concludes that skin and nail changes can indicate various underlying health conditions.

This paper reviews various techniques for measuring the physical and mechanical properties of human hair fibers, emphasizing their importance in developing effective cosmetic products.

This article describes various hair and scalp examination techniques, including noninvasive, semi-invasive, and invasive methods, noting that trichoscopy is a simple, well-accepted, noninvasive technique for evaluating hair loss patients and monitoring treatment.

This study found that topical melatonin significantly improved hair density and reduced the severity of androgenetic alopecia in men and women.

This study found that feather patterning is primarily self-organizing and dynamic, relying on both genetic and epigenetic controls, with implications for similar processes like fingerprints and pigmentation.

This study found that hair proteome profiling and genetically variant peptide identification in hairs remained effective after an explosive blast, indicating potential for forensic human identification despite damage.

Polyquaternium 7® builds up on hair, improving its look and feel, and AFM is good for measuring these changes.

This study found that dermatoscopy can quickly and non-invasively detect facial vellus hair involvement in patients with alopecia frontal fibrosante, occurring frequently and associated with specific facial lesions.

This review updates on various methods for hair and scalp examination, encompassing non-invasive, semi-invasive, and invasive techniques, and reports no new results.

This review discusses the potential of three-dimensional printed mesoporous scaffolds for drug delivery applications, particularly for bone cells and tissues, but reports no new clinical results.

This study documented the first confirmed infections of Trichophyton bullosum in donkeys in Africa, indicating equines as primary hosts and highlighting the potential underestimation of this pathogen's prevalence.
