In this study, researchers found that the naked (N) gene in mice indirectly affects the synthesis of structural proteins in mouse hair, resulting in reduced high tyrosine protein content and unusual amino acid compositions.

This study reports that the side population technique can isolate melanocyte stem cells from human hair follicles, potentially allowing them to be used for skin pigmentation repopulation.

The book discussed in this abstract is a comprehensive guide to hair analysis, detailing the latest methods and applications across various fields such as toxicology and drug monitoring, designed for both newcomers and experts in the field.

This biographical abstract highlights George Rogers' pioneering contributions to the understanding of keratin molecular structure and keratinisation biochemistry, including the application of electron microscopy to hair ultrastructure and the discovery of enzymes and gene transcription processes relevant to keratin proteins.

This review discusses the role of intermediate filaments in cell signaling and differentiation, emphasizing their impact on stem cell function, development, and disease, but reports no new clinical results.

This study observed that increasing the γ-kerateine content in meta-kerateine materials led to reduced elasticity, solidity, and hydrolytic stability, and decreased hepatocyte attachment support.

This review discusses advancements in artificial skin for wound treatment and reports no new clinical findings; the authors highlight the potential of new biomaterials to enhance future skin replacement therapies.

This study found that calcium microcapsules exhibited better biocompatibility and cell viability than barium microcapsules for scaffolding in artificial dermal papilla, suggesting potential for developing new hair follicle structures.

This study found that nestin-negative hair follicle stem cells can differentiate into neural stem cell-like cells, but not mature neurons, through a multi-step neuro-induction process.

This narrative review examines the structure-function relationship in bioactive biopolymers used to promote healing in chronic wounds, emphasizing diabetic ulcers, and underscores the importance of characterizing these biopolymers to enhance their bioactivity for better tissue regeneration outcomes.

This study found that, in male patients with patellar tendinopathy, bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cell treatment improved tendon regeneration, organization, strength, and pain relief more effectively than leukocyte-poor platelet-rich plasma over 12 months.

This review synthesizes current knowledge on choriogenesis, the final stage of oogenesis in insects, by exploring the role of follicle cells, regulatory mechanisms of gene expression, and the biochemical makeup of the eggshell, while also highlighting structural diversity and adaptations across insect species.

In this comprehensive review, researchers reported that macromolecules like type I collagen, keratin, and ceramides enhance hair health by improving follicular function and increasing hair density, strength, shine, and resilience, as shown in various in vitro, animal, and human studies.

This study observed that using an environmentally friendly bovine milk permeate effectively and cleanly removes wool from sheepskins without harming the skin, and results in smoother leather compared to traditional chemical methods.

This review article highlights recent advances in microneedle technology for wound healing and tissue regeneration, discussing various cargo types, structural designs, and fabrication methods, and suggesting guidelines for designing microneedle systems tailored to specific applications.

This study found that thioglycolic acid molecules in hair treatments are primarily located in intrafibrillar unordered areas, where they redistribute disulfide bonds.

In this study, maternal exposure to constant light significantly altered the neonatal skin structure in rabbits, associated with reduced maternal melatonin levels.

In this review, researchers examined the molecular diversity and expression patterns of major skin appendage proteins, like keratins and EDC proteins, in tetrapods, highlighting recent findings in reptiles and birds and identifying knowledge gaps for future research.

This ex vivo study reported that melatonin significantly improved certain aging biomarkers in aged human skin, including reduced mTORC1 activity, increased fibrillin-1, and enhanced collagen and elastic fiber organization, though other key biomarkers remained unchanged.

This review summarizes the roles of matricellular proteins in skin stem cell niches, highlighting their contribution to stem cell fate, self-renewal, and potential implications for wound healing and aging.

This study identified key proteins, FKBP10 and FBN2, that promote the growth cycle of secondary hair follicles in cashmere goats, with higher expression in the anagen phase, offering insights into mechanisms potentially enhancing cashmere yield and quality.

This study found that the molecular structure of hair is more sensitive to synchrotron X-ray radiation than its supramolecular architecture, indicating potential concerns for biological analyses using such radiation.

This study found that disrupting Lm332 expression in mice changes keratinocyte genetic expression, alters cell shape, and disrupts epidermal homeostasis, despite some compensatory anchorage by hair follicle basal cells.

This study conducted in situ tensile loading experiments with atomic force microscopy to observe how conditioning treatments affect the tensile response of virgin, chemically damaged, and mechanically damaged Caucasian hair.

In this study, researchers found that simple hair clipping in mice induced dynamic plasticity and axogenesis in skin sensory axons, linked to follicular activation and HGF signaling.

This study demonstrates that PAD1 and PAD3 are involved in hair follicle differentiation, while PAD1 and PAD2 may play a role in the physiology of sweat glands and arrector pili muscles.

In this case report, researchers described a unique skin lesion in a 55-year-old woman, identifying it as folliculosebaceous cystic hamartoma with an unusual combination of spindle cell lipomatous and neural components, which had not been previously documented in such cases.

This study used 3D imaging to reveal age-related reductions in the volumes and connectivity of dermal papillae and rete ridges at the dermal-epidermal junction, which are not fully apparent in 2D examinations.
