This chapter provides an overview of the complex chemical and physical structure of the hair surface, detailing how factors like ethnicity, environmental stress, and cosmetic treatments can alter its properties and influence the adhesion of hair care products.

This study used molecular docking simulations to identify approved drugs, including Bedaquiline and Telmisartan, with potential to treat Onchocerca volvulus infections by inhibiting key protein targets, suggesting these drugs could be repurposed for onchocerciasis treatment with further validation.

This study found that bioconjugating 16-methylheptadecanoic acid (16-MHA) to damaged hair can mimic the protective properties of 18-methyleicosanoic acid (18-MEA), restoring the hair's structural integrity and moisture homeostasis, even after washing.

In this study, peptide-based nanoparticles were successfully used to deliver the CRISPR-Cas9 system into cancer cells, effectively targeting and editing KRAS mutations, suggesting promising therapeutic potential for cancer treatment.

Advancements in biomaterials and nanotechnology are improving medical applications like hair growth, bone regeneration, and cancer treatment.

This research found that keratin hydrogels derived from human hair may support cell viability and proliferation, indicating potential as 2D and 3D soft tissue culture scaffolds.

This study found that the newly developed transdermal oil body microgel emulsion (OBEME) improved wound healing in mice by enhancing skin permeability, reducing inflammation, and promoting new blood vessel formation and re-epithelialization.

This paper reviews diffuse androgen-dependent alopecia and chronic telogen effluvium in women, highlighting diagnostic challenges and management issues, but reports no new clinical findings; the authors suggest effective treatments are available.

Lower acetylation makes chitin nanofibers thinner and more suitable for various uses.

This study found that using layer-by-layer encapsulation techniques on dermal papilla cells can support their function and may help treat hair loss when used in conjunction with freshly isolated epidermal cells.

This study observed that repeated perm treatments decrease disulfide bonds in hair due to their conversion largely into cysteic acid, affecting the waving efficiency depending on the reduction agent used.

This study investigated the integration of crystal engineering and microneedle technology for androgenetic alopecia treatment, finding that microneedles loaded with newly developed Kopexil multicomponent crystals reduced drug diffusion rates in vitro compared to standard formulations.

This review highlights that bicalutamide, a non-steroidal antiandrogen used in prostate cancer treatment, is mainly effective through its (R)-enantiomer and emphasizes the need to monitor its adverse effects despite its targeted antiandrogenic action.

This study presents the first report on cloning and characterizing the full-length cDNA of SRD5A1 in Indian catfish (Clarias magur), revealing expression differences across reproductive phases and increased expression post-Ovatide administration in ovaries and testis.

The researchers reported that pulsed FUS can enhance the tumor-killing effects of cisplatin by unbinding it from albumin in cervical cancer, but further study is needed to measure its selective delivery to tumors.

This case report described a 32-year-old woman with plica neuropathica who was diagnosed with schizophrenia after initially seeking dermatological care for her severely matted hair, illustrating a rare presentation of schizophrenia and the importance of considering psychiatric conditions in such cases.

This review discusses the impact of chemotherapy-induced alopecia on cancer patients, the current use of scalp cooling for prevention, and potential future treatments, but presents no new clinical results.

This study explores the medicinal and environmental applications of Physalis species, highlighting the wound healing properties of Physalis angulata L. and the antibacterial and antitumor activities of its fruit extracts.

This review discusses iontophoresis, low-frequency ultrasound, and microneedles for enhancing topical drug delivery in dermatological treatments and reports no clinical results; it emphasizes their mechanisms and potential uses.

This study highlights the potential of nanofibers in cosmeceuticals, reporting that nanofiber facial masks outperform regular masks in cleansing, and notes their exploratory use in anti-acne patches for enhanced acne management.

This review examines the science and technology behind temporary and permanent hair straightening, discussing the processes, potential advancements, and considerations for reducing adverse effects, but does not report new research findings.

Hair straightening methods have advanced to improve effectiveness and reduce damage, but still rely on heat and chemicals.

This study found that the nanostructured lipid carrier gel containing minoxidil showed good consistency and a prolonged drug release in vitro, suggesting potential for treating alopecia.

This study observed that a wearable electric stimulation device significantly promoted hair regeneration in rats and mice, outperforming conventional pharmacological treatments and enhancing growth factor secretion.

This review discusses 46,XY disorders of sex development caused by defects in androgen production and highlights the need for long-term care from experienced multidisciplinary teams, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This study concluded that polymeric nanoparticles effectively targeted hair follicles for drug delivery, but the organogel formulation did not enhance their penetration into the hair shaft.

This study concluded that bleach treatment partly transforms the hydrophobic top layer of human hair cuticles into a hydrophilic surface with clustered cysteic acid, visualized at the nano-scale using dynamic Chemical Force Microscopy.

This case report describes a patient with breast cancer who developed female androgenetic alopecia after starting tamoxifen therapy.

This paper reviews the role of the telomere-telomerase system in cellular ageing and cancer, discussing potential therapies but reporting no new experimental results.

In this study, complexation with cyclodextrins was reported to increase the solubility of FIN for potential use in aqueous formulations for treating male androgenic alopecia.
