This study reported advances in identifying low-abundance proteins in wool by using fractionation techniques to reduce the dominance of intermediate filament proteins, improving the understanding of the wool proteome.

This study found that defective cross-linking in hair cuticles is observable in a minority of mouse hair mutants, suggesting different proteins are involved in cross-linking across cell types.

In this study, around 1% of proteins in skin fibroblasts significantly changed in response to reductive stress, affecting collagens and MAPK signaling pathways.

This study found that improved protein extraction methods enhanced the resolution of hair proteins on gels, but differences in protein abundance between curly and straight Japanese women’s hair were minimal and unlikely to affect hair structure.

This study observed defects in hair cuticle cross-linking in some, but not all, mouse mutants with sparse or structurally unsound hair.

This study used one-dimensional SDS electrophoresis to examine low sulfur proteins in hair samples from multiple generations within five families, but does not report new results.

This study from the Danish Skin Cohort found that patients with alopecia areata, followed by those with hidradenitis suppurativa, were willing to spend the most daily time on treatment, reflecting possible unmet needs, and that this willingness correlated with disease severity across different dermatological conditions.

In this case series, dual-targeted therapy was observed to provide promising clinical responses in refractory inflammatory bowel disease, with 88.23% to 100% response rates across 9 months and an endoscopic response in 88.89% of evaluated patients, though some adverse events occurred.

These drugs cause hair growth without affecting testosterone or adrenal hormones.

This chapter reviews keratins in skin epithelia, including their roles in cellular function and disease, and reports no new experimental results.

This study found that 4-MA is a potent inhibitor of testosterone 5α-reductase in human tissues, promising potential for treating androgen-dependent skin conditions like male pattern baldness.

This study demonstrates that keratin K2 is crucial for proper keratinocyte structure and function in specific mouse skin areas, and its deficiency leads to cellular aggregates and skin abnormalities.

This study found that electrophoretic keratin typing of head hair can identify specific polypeptide patterns, suggesting potential applications in genetic and forensic investigations.

This study presents recombinant human hair keratins K31 and K81, observing novel nanostructures from their self-assembly and emphasizing disulfide crosslinking's role in this process.

This study found that homocysteine-keratin accumulation in human hair increases towards the tips, linked to copper/iron-catalyzed demethylation of methionine, and may contribute to keratin damage.

This study found that keratin phenotypes were consistent across different types of hair from the same individual, allowing for successful keratin typing following ABH blood group determination.

This synthesis report details the successful development of a C-14 labeled isotopomer of LY300502, a 5α-reductase inhibitor, through a multi-step radiochemical process.

This review discusses recent advances in surface modification and endothelialization of biomaterials for vascular grafts, highlighting promising methods like gene engineering and targeting ligand immobilization to improve clinical outcomes.

This study found that, in mouse tail epidermis, stem cells rapidly activate and regenerate new progenitors to repair wounds, with mechanisms affecting their proliferation, differentiation, and migration.

This study identifies mutations in the SRD5A3 gene as a cause of a new type of congenital disorder of glycosylation, impacting mental, ophthalmologic, and cerebellar functions.

This study provides evidence that human skin contains genes and enzymes necessary for producing serotonin and melatonin.

This study demonstrated that stress-derived neurosteroid THDOC shifts from inhibiting to activating the HPA axis under stress, presenting potential therapeutic targets for stress-related disorders.

This study identified ectodin as a novel BMP inhibitor that modulates BMP signaling in ectodermal development by interacting with SHH and FGF pathways.

This study developed a rapid method to extract proteins from human hair, revealing phosphorylation on serine and threonine residues in alpha-keratins and matrix proteins.

This study found significant species differences in the enzyme activity and inhibitor affinities of prostatic 5α-reductases from rats, dogs, and humans, with variable potencies for different 3-oxo-4-azasteroid inhibitors across species.

This study suggests that ethylene and lignoceric acid (C24:0) may promote cotton fiber and Arabidopsis root hair growth by activating the pectin biosynthesis network.

This study found that keratin 17 and TNFα play interdependent roles in regulating hair follicle cycling, with TNFα required for the anagen–catagen transition and its ablation partially rescuing hair cycling defects in K17-null mice.

This study found that adding microneedling to minoxidil treatment significantly improved hair growth in men with androgenetic alopecia compared to minoxidil alone across all assessed measures.

This study shows that macrophage-induced TNF signaling can activate hair follicle stem cells and promote new hair follicle formation after wounding by regulating AKT/β-catenin pathways.

This study found that SARS-CoV-2 hijacks the host factor IGF2BP1 to stabilize its RNA and enhance translation, and identified Cepharanthine and Trifluoperazine as potential treatments against the virus.
