Hair follicles could be used for targeted drug delivery, with liposomal systems showing promise for this method.

This review discusses the roles of hair follicles and sebaceous glands in percutaneous transport and reports no new results, noting a lack of adequate models and methodologies.

In this study, oral administration of strawberry guava extract promoted hair growth in both mice and humans, with active components like adenosine, fructose, digalactosyldiacylglycerol, and pedunculagin contributing by enhancing skin blood flow and activating dermal papilla cells.

This study found that Codium sp. cultivated in IMTA systems can be a sustainable source of bioactive ingredients for skin care products, with various fractions providing photoprotective, wound-healing, and antimicrobial benefits in vitro.

This study developed HA-gel-dex hydrogels with enhanced ECM-like properties and functionality, showing promise for 3D bioprinting, tissue repair, and as wound dressings due to improved cell interaction, cytocompatibility, antimicrobial synergy, and wound healing in mice compared to traditional ECM bio-inks.

This research examined krill oil's effects on benign prostatic hyperplasia and found that it inhibited the growth of prostate cells in vitro and reduced prostate size and weight in a BPH rat model, suggesting potential as a prophylactic or therapeutic agent for BPH.

In this study, researchers used a mouse model to identify an adipocyte-to-fibroblast conversion pathway that promotes mast-cell recruitment and dermal fibrosis in atopic dermatitis, suggesting a potential therapeutic approach to block this process and reduce inflammation and fibrosis.

This study found that a catechins-rich Assam tea extract demonstrated antioxidant effects and hair growth promotion in mice, suggesting its potential as a natural alternative for treating hair loss.

This study found that certain pyrazole derivatives may serve as effective 5α-reductase inhibitors with potential use in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia, based on molecular docking analyses.

In this study, researchers developed hollow mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles and confirmed their synthesis using IR spectroscopy, then evaluated the nanoparticles for endocytosis and biocompatibility, although specific results of these tests are not reported in the abstract.

This study found that hair with lower levels of keratin associated proteins reduced the foreign body response in mouse subcutaneous implant tests compared to hair with higher keratin levels.

In this study, early prenatal treatment with Minoxidil, a lysyl hydroxylase inhibitor, partly improved cardiac outflow tract septation in Tbx1 mutant mice, suggesting that inhibiting collagen cross-linking may mitigate some effects of Tbx1 mutation associated with DiGeorge syndrome.

In this mouse study, the absence of the Ascl4 gene did not affect the development of hair follicles, teeth, or mammary glands, suggesting it is non-essential for these processes.

In this study, researchers developed a biodegradable microneedle made of hyaluronic acid, intended to enhance drug delivery through the skin's stratum corneum and potentially promote hair growth by overcoming the skin's barrier function in alopecia treatment.

This study developed a method to measure local steroid hormone concentrations in hair, providing new insights into hormone dynamics associated with androgenetic alopecia.

This study developed a liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry method to detect sex hormones in health supplements from Hanoi, Vietnam, finding three out of 16 samples contained sex hormones, including banned testosterone at low levels (~0.5 mg/kg).

This research examined the transcriptional landscape of quiescent melanocyte stem cells (qMcSCs) in adult female mice, revealing significant heterogeneity within this cell population and identifying novel subpopulations that vary in immune privilege regulation, melanocyte differentiation potential, and neural crest potential.

This review of Cedrus libani highlights its potential as a source of natural antioxidants and antimicrobials and notes that it may offer analgesic and anti-inflammatory benefits; however, further toxicological and clinical studies are necessary to confirm its safety and efficacy for treating human diseases.

This study isolated and identified three natural compounds—syringaresinol, mayuenolid, and ciwujiaton—from Leersia hexandra, a traditional liver treatment used in Huyện Tam Nông, Đồng Tháp, using advanced chromatography and spectroscopy techniques.

This study found that neonatal Regulatory T cells are crucial for maintaining PPARγ signaling in hair follicles, which supports melanocyte stem cell function and skin pigmentation during early postnatal development.

In this study, researchers found that the synthetic stress hormone dexamethasone caused opposite effects on hair growth-related proteins, reducing SFRP2 and increasing SFRP3, which respectively stimulate and inhibit hair follicle cell proliferation in human dermal papilla cells.

This study suggests that the testosterone analogs 7α-Methyltestosterone and 7α-Ethyltestosterone may offer promising androgenic, progestogenic, and anabolic properties for development as male contraceptives.

This study reports that a low concentration of chitosan induces callose deposition and slows root hair growth in Arabidopsis, suggesting an evolutionary conservation of this response to mild biotic stress across plant types.

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.

In this study, Betula platyphylla extract, particularly fraction H3-2, promoted human derma papilla cell proliferation and increased expression of certain growth factors, suggesting potential benefits for hair loss prevention.

This study found that intracrine androgen signaling, mediated by steroid 5α-reductase, is essential for optimal decidualization and vascular development in the endometrium during pregnancy, indicating potential targets for improving age-related fertility issues.

This study developed a sensitive method using LC-ESI-MS/MS for accurate and reliable measurement of nine steroid hormones in children's serum.

This study demonstrated that cryogelation of human hair keratin allows the development of 3D scaffolds with tunable properties, supporting cell adhesion and proliferation for potential biomedical applications.

This study found that ethanolic extracts of Microsechium helleri showed notable antioxidant, hypoglycemic, and cardioprotective activities, while chloroformic extracts exhibited significant anti-inflammatory effects in experimental models.

This study found that type 2 immunity, especially involving ILC2 cells, helps maintain skin homeostasis by regulating the proliferation and community stability of hair follicle epithelial cells in the presence of Demodex mites.
