June 2023 in “Medicina” In this study, all 26 patients with epidermolysis bullosa were found to have extensive dental caries, with various dental and oral complications varying by EB type, due in part to inadequate oral care and associated physical limitations.
January 2019 in “Hair transplant forum international” In this study, using sterile gloves during hair restoration surgery did not reduce scalp contamination compared to clean gloves due to the natural microbiome of the scalp.
December 2025 in “Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)” This study examined the thermal conductivity of human hair using the Modified Transient Plane Source method, highlighting how frequent thermal, mechanical, and chemical treatments can damage hair by weakening its structure, particularly through changes in keratin that reduce elasticity.
November 2024 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” This study introduced a novel scarless healing material called pgPE, made from a porous UHMWPE nanomembrane, and found that it promotes complete skin reconstruction and hair follicle regeneration by alleviating hypoxia and modulating immune responses to foster scar-free wound healing.

March 2003 in “BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology” This study found that both maternal and fetal hair mercury levels were significantly higher in women who had dental amalgam restorations placed before or during pregnancy, compared to those without such restorations.
July 2021 in “SBV Journal of Basic Clinical and Applied Health Science” This clinical study compared single-layer and multiple-layer wound closure after tympanoplasty, finding that single-layer closure was as effective but took less time and reduced surgery costs for patients with chronic suppurative otitis media.
11 citations
,
October 2001 in “Tissue engineering” This study found that transplanted cultured epithelium from adult rat sole keratinocytes can respond to growth signals from dermal papillae and form follicular structures, especially with dermis support.
6 citations

March 2022 in “Journal of burn care & research” This case study highlights that even professional eyebrow tinting can lead to chemical burns, and increasing consumer awareness is crucial as its popularity grows and unregulated products become more common.
1 citations
,
January 2004 in “Adelaide Research & Scholarship (AR&S) (University of Adelaide)” This study concludes that SPARC is likely a secondary response during the hair cycle's transitional phases, indicating tissue-remodeling processes similar to those in wound repair, rather than initiating these transitions.
16 citations
,
July 2020 in “JAMA Dermatology” People with alopecia areata may have a higher risk of hearing loss.
30 citations
,
January 1994 in “Micron” This study found that the formation of the fibre cuticle surface in Merino sheep is similar to the epidermal stratum corneum process and not from a modified plasma membrane as previously thought.
January 2010 in “USFEU Scientific Library (Ural State Forest Engineering University)” This study developed a grooved microneedle platform enabling precise transdermal delivery of triamcinolone acetonide for alopecia areata, achieving accurate dosing by controlling groove position and drug concentration.

December 1962 in “Australasian Journal of Dermatology” The current state and future directions of the field that studies the connection between the mind and skin are discussed.
January 2014 in “cIRcle (University of British Columbia)” This research found that modifying brachytherapy seeds with contrast-enhancing materials in photoacoustic imaging increased signal-to-noise ratios and imaging depth, and demonstrated potential for tissue differentiation by analyzing temperature-induced changes in PA intensity.
January 2026 in “Microchemical Journal” In this study, researchers developed an electrochemical method using gold nanostructures on a glassy carbon electrode to detect minoxidil levels in hair lotions, and found it effectively quantified minoxidil in commercial products, revealing discrepancies in their labeled versus actual concentrations.
January 2024 in “Journal of cutaneous and aesthetic surgery” In this clinical case report, a 10-year-old girl developed acute hair matting three weeks after scalp trauma and frequent povidone-iodine use, suggesting that scalp injuries and antiseptic overuse can be risk factors for this condition, especially when hair care is poor.
May 2017 in “Hair transplant forum international” This article discusses the issue of shock loss during hair restoration in thinning areas and reports no new clinical findings; the author shares personal insights from years of practice.
