This study demonstrates that MPM-FLIM multimodal imaging can effectively assess the delivery and dissolution of zinc pyrithione particles in human skin follicles using different application techniques.

This study found that polyamidoamine dendrimers can permeate skin's current conducting pores and alter the magnitude and direction of electroosmotic flow, affecting drug flux during iontophoresis.

This study found that washing hair with surfactants reduces the internal density of hair due to cuticle lifting, and suggests that a cuticle-sealing strategy can inhibit this effect and maintain hair homeostasis.

This article highlights that tinea capitis, a fungal scalp infection primarily seen in children, is often misdiagnosed in adults, especially postmenopausal women and immunocompromised individuals, leading to unnecessary treatments and potential permanent hair loss if not correctly identified and treated.

This case report highlights how chronic bacterial folliculitis may contribute to persistent inflammation in lichen simplex chronicus and emphasizes the value of DIF and IHC in diagnosing obscure cases.

This study found that nonscarring alopecia in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus may indicate higher disease activity, as evidenced by specific histological and immunofluorescence changes.

This continuing medical education article outlines the comprehensive approach needed to diagnose alopecia, emphasizing the importance of a thorough history, scalp and hair examination, and, if necessary, laboratory analysis and biopsy for effective treatment planning.

This case report describes areata-like lupus in a 63-year-old woman, characterized by nonscarring patchy alopecia similar to alopecia areata, without meeting systemic lupus erythematosus criteria.

In this case report, an 8-year-old Spitz dog with refractory dermatophytosis showed significant clinical improvement after switching to posaconazole, chosen based on antifungal susceptibility testing, offering a promising treatment option for dogs unresponsive to standard antifungal therapies.

Oxidation changes the structure of hair protein filaments, causing them to compact and rearrange.

In this study, researchers used cryo-electron microscopy to reveal how the natural compound osthole inhibits TRPV3 channels by binding to specific sites, changing the channel's conformation.

This review explores the structure and development of the hair cuticle, highlighting difficulties in studying some aspects and proposing new experimental approaches, but reports no new clinical results.

This systematic review provides an in-depth evaluation of non-invasive imaging and biophysical methods for diagnosing and monitoring vitiligo, emphasizing the need for studies with larger sample sizes to verify their use in clinical practice and research.

This study observed that lipids in human hair accumulate in specific areas and do not significantly impact water permeability, highlighting the utility of AFMIR for studying complex biomaterials.

This study discusses the potential of advanced imaging technologies in dermatology to improve diagnostic accuracy and reduce the need for invasive procedures like biopsies, while noting significant barriers in adoption and accessibility in India due to costs and infrastructure constraints.

This study found significant structural and compositional differences in hair affected by alopecia areata compared to healthy hair, using a range of physico-chemical investigation methods.

This article describes current advancements and future possibilities in skin imaging technology, teledermatology, and AI in dermatology, without reporting new research results.

In this study, researchers observed that underhairs in domestic cats were the thinnest and shortest with regular scales, while guard hairs were the longest and thickest, having irregular scales.

This study introduced a novel method that uses upright structured illumination microscopy and atomic force microscopy to map the mechanical properties of thick living tissue slices, revealing the intricate mechanical heterogeneity of mouse skin and effects of preservation techniques on tissue stiffness.

This case report describes a novel association between uncombable hair syndrome and Zellweger syndrome due to a homozygous mutation in the PEX12 gene.

Clinical signs don't match inflammation levels in lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia.

The article discusses methods for managing patient expectations and identifying challenging patients, but it reports no new research findings.

Examining scalp tissue under a microscope helps diagnose and understand hair loss diseases.

In this study, ultradeformable liposomes containing Tween 20 or terpenes increased phospholipid bilayer fluidity and enhanced skin penetration of sodium fluorescein, with terpenes improving hair follicle penetration.

This study found that direct interactions between human dermal papilla cells and melanocytes under low oxygen conditions improved cell functions and could be important for hair regeneration efforts.

This study found that direct co-culture of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells with regulatory T cells enhanced osteogenic gene expression, alkaline phosphatase activity, and matrix mineralization, suggesting Treg's potential in promoting bone regeneration by modulating BMSC mechanobiology through the ROCK-myosin signaling pathway.

This study found that macroscopic vesiculobullous lesions with epidermal devitalization in dogs are part of the clinical spectrum of canine cutaneous epitheliotropic T-cell lymphoma.

This study found that ureteroileal anastomosis with direct intraluminal visualization had a 4.2% stricture rate, which compares favorably to other techniques with rates between 3.5% and 11.1%.

The researchers observed that normal murine hair follicles are direct targets for melatonin, with receptor expression varying throughout the hair cycle, suggesting melatonin's role in hair cycle control.

This study found that normal murine hair follicles are direct targets for melatonin bioregulation, expressing receptors that are regulated in a hair cycle-dependent manner, influencing keratinocyte apoptosis.
