This study found that xylanase and pectinase enzymes clean wool and specialty hair fibers as effectively as soap, without causing physical damage, whereas resinase was not effective.

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 describes the development of polyamide 6 composite fibers with amber filler, finding them suitable for use in medical textiles such as compression garments due to their biocompatibility with skin cells.

The study found that a polymer treatment changes the charge on hair surfaces, making bleached hair smoother and less porous.

In this study, combined treatment with transglutaminase and keratin significantly repaired damaged hair by improving its structural properties, reducing swelling, and enhancing crosslink activities, as evidenced by microscopy and spectroscopy analyses.

Human hair structure varies by ethnicity, and certain treatments can improve hair condition and appearance.

Twisting hair weakens it, but strength can be recovered at low twist levels.

In this study of four Chinese goat breeds, black goats exhibited significantly higher melanin content, while Inner Mongolian cashmere goats had longer fiber lengths. These findings highlight genetic variations in coat color and fiber length, informing future breeding programs.

This study found that high-concentration cell-free adipose extract effectively reduced collagen deposition and blood vessel formation in a rabbit ear model, showing promise for preventing and treating hypertrophic scars.

This research explores the use of serial block-face scanning electron microscopy to model the complex architecture of sheep wool fibres, focusing on the role and distribution of para- and ortho-cortical cells in determining wool curliness, though the mechanism remains unclear.

This review discusses five potential mechanisms for kidney stone formation, including urinary supersaturation, Randall's plaques, sex hormones, the microbiome, and immune responses, and reports no new results.

This study found that newborn mouse skin organoids can robustly grow hair in vivo, while adult organoids require specific interventions to restore their hair-forming ability.

This study found that a genetic variant in the EDAR gene leads to typical East Asian hair characteristics by increasing signaling output, as shown in transgenic mice experiments.

In this study, researchers found that human scalp hair, particularly when unwashed, can significantly react with ozone, reducing personal ozone exposure and increasing exposure to volatile reaction products.

This study found that the mechanical stiffening of the human hair follicle along the first millimeter is linked to changes in the keratin network architecture and composition during keratinization.

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 study found that polymorphisms in the KAP8.1 gene were significantly associated with cashmere weight, length, and guard hair length in Chinese Inner Mongolian Cashmere goats, but not with fibre diameter.

This study reports promising preliminary results for using monoclonal antibodies to identify cashmere fibers, highlighting observed immunological differences from wool keratins.

This study found that plasma jets can effectively clean and oxidize human hair fibers, with argon/oxygen plasma having the strongest effects, suggesting potential as an alternative to peroxide treatment.

This study observed that the molecular structure of keratins in hair fibres' discrete transition zone differs in breast cancer patients, with altered lipid ester absorption bands reverting post-cancer removal.

In this study, researchers used single-cell RNA sequencing to map the hair follicle microenvironment in fine-wool sheep, identifying specific cell types and gene expressions that influence wool fiber diameter, with dermal papilla cells playing a significant role in hair follicle development.

This paper discusses the use of Digital Volumetric Imaging with fluorescent dyes to visualize and compare the interior structures of six different virgin hair types, reporting no new clinical results.

This study found that engineered skin substitutes made with skin-derived precursors and epidermal stem cells can regenerate hair follicles after grafting into nude mice.

In this study, researchers used embryonic chicken skin as a model to show that perturbing calcium signaling can induce feather bud formation in areas that typically do not form them, highlighting developmental bioelectricity as a crucial yet underexplored layer in tissue patterning.

This review discusses recent advancements in nanotechnology for treating hypertrophic scarring and atopic dermatitis, highlighting the potential of nanotherapeutic platforms in enhancing therapeutic effects by modulating the skin's microenvironment.

This review discusses in vitro methods for evaluating the effects of hair care products on hair fibers, reporting no new results; the authors emphasize the importance of selecting appropriate and accurate equipment for testing.

This review explores potential new roles for Merkel cells, including involvement in magnetoreception, fingerprint formation, and transmitting environmental information, but reports no experimental results.

In this study, researchers examined the methylation patterns in the skin tissues of Alpine Merino sheep with varying wool fiber diameters, finding that specific methylated RNAs linked to the Wnt, Notch, and TGF-ẞ signaling pathways may influence fiber diameter and potentially improve wool quality.

This study found that human hair follicle dermal papilla cells and keratinocytes self-assembled differently in 3D spheroid co-cultures, providing insights into cell distribution and organogenesis during skin regeneration.
