This study examined vicuña skin and hair follicle structures, finding a high density of secondary hairs in fleece areas compared to belly and legs, and identified various types of cutaneous glands potentially important for chemical communication.

A man with both skin lesions and lung cancer improved quickly with chemotherapy, suggesting the skin condition might be a reaction to immune system injury.

This study found that patients with androgenetic alopecia experienced more severe symptoms than those with alopecia areata, influencing their quality of life differently based on various patient characteristics.

In this study, researchers developed non-invasive methods to monitor hair shaft, melanin, and collagen dynamics in C57BL/6 mice across different hair follicle cycle phases, supporting non-invasive research in hair loss treatment development.

This study found that specific dermoscopic signs, such as diameter diversity of leukotrichia and Pohl-Pinkus constrictions, were associated with progressive vitiligo, and early-stage melanin synthesis was impaired in vitiligo-associated leukotrichia.

This case report describes an instance of autosomal recessive uncombable hair syndrome caused by maternal uniparental disomy of chromosome 1.

This study suggests that varicella-zoster virus infection in skin cells may play a role in segmental vitiligo's progression and depigmentation.

This review details the evolution of hair treatment techniques, focusing on the application of microneedling for hair stimulation and drug delivery, but offers no new clinical findings.

This study observed that hair follicle cuticular cells undergoing keratinization were significantly thicker than those in a normal hair shaft, due to incomplete loss of cytosol.

This case study identified the condition as Monilethrix in a 17-year-old female, characterized by a beaded hair appearance and linked to a genetic cause.

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 study found that treating yak hair fibers with low-temperature plasma and microwaves weakened the scale structure and significantly improved dyeability.

This study found that cultured hair apparatus cells initially showed low keratin antibody reactivity, which increased by day 6 as cells differentiated and corresponded with electron microscopic observations.

This study standardized a reproducible three-dimensional human skin model for testing skin tumor promoters, using methods that do not require human skin sourcing.

This study found that the expression of laminin-511 and -332 was significantly increased in psoriasis skin lesions and may influence keratinocyte proliferation and apoptosis, suggesting a previously overlooked role in the disease's pathogenesis.

This study found that chemical hair straightening significantly reduced hair curl and improved smoothness and shine, but did not significantly affect transverse fissures or split ends, indicating potential benefits with some side effects.

In this study, a porous keratin hydrogel derived from wool hair demonstrated strong mechanical properties and supported the growth of various animal cells, indicating potential as a scaffold in tissue engineering.

The authors reviewed cases of six children with both hair-shaft abnormalities and neurological disorders, noting that such hair defects may indicate neurological conditions, including potentially treatable metabolic errors.

This practical guide introduces methods to study human dermal white adipose tissue but does not report new clinical results, emphasizing available techniques and staining protocols.

In this study, the researchers found that transplanted hair follicles undergo significant morphological changes, including a thickened dermal sheath and increased hair shaft diameter, which are associated with altered follicular vascularization.

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 study identified new geometric and mechanical parameters for curly and kinky/coily hair, which may inform more effective personal care products tailored to these hair types.

This study used quantitative methods to identify new geometric and mechanical parameters of curly and kinky/coily hair, aiming to improve classification and develop better personal care products for these hair types.

African hair is more fragile due to its unique shape and internal structure.

This study describes a distinctive form of ichthyosis characterized by abnormal epidermal differentiation mainly within hair follicles in four patients with congenital follicular hyperkeratosis.

This study found that smaller mesoporous silica particles (400-600 nm) accumulated in skin furrows, suggesting their potential as carriers for enhancing the delivery of topical medications like metronidazole.

This study observed that a low-protein, arginine-supplemented diet improved the abnormal hair appearance in untreated patients with argininosuccinic aciduria.

This case report describes a patient with trichothiodystrophy presenting with autism, mental retardation, and seizures, characterized by distinct hair abnormalities under microscopy.

This study observed that different hair types on Tianzhu white yaks have similar ultrastructures, but coarse hair fibers show distinct structural differences across body parts.

This article provides a diagnostic guide for clinicians to differentiate between various hair shaft disorders by using a structured question-by-question approach but does not report new clinical findings.
