This study found that treating chitin from crab shells with ultrasonication at specific conditions effectively produced fine nanofibers with a high yield.

This study's simulation found that Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate penetrates more efficiently through the skin's stratum corneum than via the infundibulum, following different pathways and dynamics in each membrane.

This study found that high concentrations of dimethyl sulfoxide are needed to cause significant swelling in hair fibers, though the swelling is reversible, unlike the effects on skin.

A girl's severely tangled hair couldn't be fixed and had to be cut due to a rare condition called plica neuropathica.

In this study, researchers using QM/MM simulations identified key molecular motions and residue interactions in the enzyme SRD5A2 that significantly influence its catalytic efficiency, demonstrating that specific residues play critical roles in stabilizing transition states and reducing activation barriers.

This study reported that a novel nanomedicine combining berberine and sinapic acid significantly inhibited the growth of mouse mammary carcinoma cells and demonstrated an anti-tumor effect in vivo, without significant systemic toxicity after 28 days, suggesting a promising, low-toxicity therapeutic strategy for breast cancer.

In this study, researchers reported that topical nanostructured lipid carriers containing tea seed or lavender oil significantly enhanced hair regrowth in female Wistar albino rats over 30 days compared to placebo, with increased hair length and follicular density observed.

This study in female Wistar albino rats found that Pluronic F127-stabilized nanostructured lipid carriers with tea seed or lavender oil significantly increased hair regrowth and follicular density compared to placebo, showing enhanced efficacy over a commercial product in promoting hair growth.

This study developed a new human in vitro hair model that replicates in vivo hair characteristics and may be suitable for high throughput screening of hair growth treatments.

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.

In this study, ACF sponges with 10% fucoidan significantly promoted wound healing and hair follicle regeneration in rats, showing improved hemostatic and antibacterial performance compared to other formulations.

In this study, electrical stimuli at low voltage and frequency settings promoted hair growth in vitro and in rabbit models, possibly by activating pathways like Wnt/β-catenin.

This study reports that biomass activated carbon fibers derived from metaplexis japonica seed hair effectively adsorb methylene blue dye, demonstrating high capacity and rapid adsorption performance.

This study found that only minoxidil encapsulated in cationic vesicles significantly promoted hair growth in mice, likely due to its higher retention on the skin.

This study suggests that the hydrogel nanoparticle formulation of hair growth-promoting compounds may enhance hair follicle penetration and induce hair growth in tested models, demonstrating its potential as a hair growth treatment.

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

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 comprehensively compared different crystalline forms of finasteride, including the new finasteride DMF solvate hemihydrate, to better understand their structural characteristics and intermolecular interactions.

This study developed solid lipid nanoparticles for effective delivery of shRNA-encoding plasmids, showing reduced 5α-reductase levels in DU-145 cells without significant cytotoxicity.

This study found that bleached hair showed optimal protein structural integrity and tensile strength at pH 5, with significant changes in cross-linking, water content, and diameter at more alkaline or acidic levels.

This study found that polyquaternium-68 at pH 9 achieved the greatest hair deposition, while polyquaternium-44 demonstrated the best wash resistance at pH 6.

This study found that the nonionic surfactant Brij 78 stabilized cationic minoxidil microparticles against aggregation, maintaining their substantivity in the presence of excess anionic surfactant.

This review highlights the promise of non-viral gene delivery systems, particularly genosomes, over traditional viral vectors due to enhanced safety and efficiency in therapeutic nucleic acid delivery for genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis and malignancies.

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.

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.
