This study observed that the lower part of vibrissa hair roots in adult Wistar rats receives a richer blood supply and structural protection, compared to the upper part.

This study investigates calcium and phosphorus accumulations in the hair of mummies from the Taklamakan desert and debates their exogenous or endogenous origin.

In this study, researchers suggest that hair follicle miniaturization in conditions like androgenetic alopecia may result from impaired conversion of quiescent stem cells to progenitor cells, influenced by the follicular niche, its collagen network, and various mechanical constraints.

In this study, FN-based fiber scaffolds designed using Rotary Jet-Spinning were shown to enhance wound healing and reduce scar formation in a mouse model, suggesting potential for regenerating healthy skin structure.

In this study, researchers used atomic force microscopy to capture and analyze morphological changes in the surface of healthy hair, identifying features such as pitting and rod-shaped macro-fibrillar elements, which could inform future research on hair conditions and care.

This review summarizes recent advances in understanding intermediate filament structure and their implications for pathological mutations and human diseases, but it reports no new experimental results.

This review examines the effects of various factors on the molecular and nanostructural ordering of human hair, highlighting its potential as a diagnostic material for environmental and public health monitoring, but reports no new experimental results.

This study found that Pomiferin demonstrated potent stimulation of extracellular matrix proteins in human dermal fibroblasts and hair follicles, suggesting its potential as an ingredient in skin and scalp treatments.

This study found that photoexposure significantly increased the gene expression of altered elastin, MMP12, and LOX, as well as the protein expression of tropoelastin and fibrillin-1, in skin models.

The hair follicle structure is more complex than thought, with new findings on protein formation.

The study improved understanding of keratin fiber structure by showing consistent microfibril diameter but varying distances and electron density profiles.

This study found that human dermal papilla cells are surrounded by a basement membrane-like extracellular matrix, which maintains their aggregated structure without strong cell‒cell contacts.

This study found that human dermal papilla cells are embedded in a basement membrane-like extracellular matrix, which is essential for their aggregation and function, as supported by evidence that Matrigel enhances dermal papilla cohesion and gene expression compared to collagen I, which promotes cell dispersion.

This study found that coconut oil impedes hair hydration more effectively than soybean oil by penetrating deeper, and suggested a new model for intermediate filament assembly in hair.

This review discusses the development and role of corneodesmosin in skin and hair follicle integrity, highlighting findings from mouse models and its connection to genetic diseases, with no new experimental results included.

This chapter reviews the skin's structure and its clinical relevance, highlighting connective tissue diseases and the potential for novel treatments like protein, cell, or stem cell transfer, but reports no new findings.

Understanding skin structure and development helps diagnose and treat skin disorders.

This narrative review discusses the structure and functions of the skin, focusing on its barrier role, self-repair, thermoregulation, and immune functions, and reports no new experimental results.

This study found that adding dithiodiglycolic acid to the hair straightening process decreased chemical damage and preserved the structural integrity of the hair matrix compared to using thioglycolic acid alone.

This review reports that the human amniotic membrane has promising regenerative, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties, suggesting its potential for innovative clinical applications in dermatology, such as wound healing and psoriasis treatment, as well as aesthetic uses like skin rejuvenation and hair regeneration.

This study found that androgen receptor inactivation in male and female mice reduced susceptibility to DMBA-induced skin cancer, but the effect varied by the carcinogenesis model.

This study proposed the existence of a membrane-like structure between the cuticle and cortex in human hair, which may provide strong protection against external stimuli.

This study found that 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane penetrates hair fibers and improves the mechanical resistance of dry hair, addressing the needs for increased body in fine hair.

This study reveals that basement membrane composition and structure in mouse hair follicles are specialized for distinct inter-tissue interactions, with laminin α5 being essential for maintaining these interfaces.

This study investigated how vitamin A deficiency, certain diseases, and pregnancy affect cattle coat hair structure, finding notable keratin fibril interference under vitamin A deficiency and structural modifications in chronic renal failure, while pregnant cows exhibited superior hair tensile strength compared to non-pregnant ones.

This study examined developing hair cortex with electron microscopy and found that keratin fibrils form between specific regions in hair follicles and aggregate into twisted cables.

This study demonstrated that molecular dynamics simulations of keratin could effectively model the mechanical properties of hair, aligning well with experimental data, especially when conducted in vacuum conditions.

This study found that autologous serum platelet-rich plasma improved skin quality and reduced wrinkles, texture, and pores in healthy females, partly by regulating the expression of MMP-1, tyrosinase, fibrillin, and tropoelastin.

This study found that glycosaminoglycan levels were higher in the occipital area of the hair shaft compared to the parietal area, with children showing higher levels than adults.

Scientists found gene mutations that affect hair loss, skin stem cells, and skin disorders, and identified drugs that may help treat blood vessel and skin conditions.
