This study suggests that human skin contains distinct fibroblast subsets with unique expression profiles and functions, which can be isolated to investigate their role in skin pathogenesis.

This study found that torsional measurements can effectively distinguish the effects of hair care products on the cuticle versus the cortex of hair fibers, unlike tensile measurements.

In this study, researchers developed a novel composite fiber by incorporating minoxidil sulfate-loaded ZIF-8 nanoparticles into a polyvinyl alcohol matrix, achieving sustained drug release for up to 220 hours, strong mechanical properties, and the capability for cosmetic applications like wigs.

In this study, researchers observed that low levels of fucose-binding lectin staining characterize limbal epithelial progenitor cells, which maintain a high proliferative capacity and may be enhanced by inhibiting fucosylation, offering insights for regenerative therapy of the limbal stem cell niche.

In this study, hydrophobic interactions were found to primarily drive deposition on virgin hair, while electrostatic interactions were more significant for bleached hair, highlighting different target moieties for hair conditioning products.

This study examined the effects of six surfactants on hair and scalp, finding varying irritation levels and impacts on protein denaturation and scalp turnover time, with AMT suggested as a good detergent.

This paper highlights the significant role of silicones in hair conditioners, noting their ability to enhance smoothness and manageability while also protecting against damage. The authors emphasize the growing importance of developing silicone-free, eco-friendly alternatives to meet evolving consumer preferences.

In this study, mannosylerythritol lipids from soybean oil notably increased fibroblast and papilla cell viability, suggesting potential as a hair growth agent.

This research observed that during the 2 to 4 days following hair transplantation for androgenetic alopecia, patients may develop forehead and upper eyelid edema due to gravitational fluid movement and oozing of inflammatory fluid in the implanted area.

This study found that alkali bromide solutions are absorbed into hair depending on salt activity, and the presence of the salt increases water absorption compared to normal conditions.

This review discusses the medical and dental applications of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), highlighting their potential for improving drug delivery and providing biocompatible solutions for medical devices, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that hair follicles are a significant and efficient pathway for the absorption of topical minoxidil foam in humans, with faster blood detection when follicles are open.

Hair movement can indicate hair quality and health.

This study explored the potential of human hair keratin as a filtration material, finding that it may effectively absorb the pollutants diclofenac and perfluorobutanesulfonate. The researchers reported significant binding affinities through molecular simulations, supporting further investigation into keratin's use for water purification.

This study developed lipid-core nanocapsules for encapsulating menthol, improving its solubility and thermal stability, and demonstrated their safety and rapid skin absorption in ex vivo tests, highlighting potential applications for cosmeceuticals.

This study found that in semi-coarse wool sheep of the Ukrainian Carpathian Mountain breed, changes in microflora and grease composition are linked to increased felting in wool, due to wetter, more alkaline fleece conditions that promote bacterial and mold growth and alter fatty acid balances.

This review discusses the benefits and applications of microsponges delivery systems in drug delivery, particularly for topical treatments, and reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that repeated exposure to ozonated water caused oxidative changes in hair proteins, lipids, and pigments, leading to altered hair properties, with minimal effects on shine and color.

This study suggests that linalool, a common allergen in personal care products, may contribute to frontal fibrosing alopecia pathogenesis by triggering immune responses and depleting hair follicle stem cells, especially in sensitized individuals.

This study found that a bleach bath treatment with 0.005% HOCI reduced the expression of certain serine proteases in cultured keratinocytes and lowered skin pH in atopic dermatitis patients, potentially improving symptoms by modulating the NF-kB pathway.

This study described a new wig coating technique using keratin and graphene oxide that significantly enhanced UV resistance, antistatic properties, and durability compared to traditional methods.

This paper reviews various techniques for measuring the physical and mechanical properties of human hair fibers, emphasizing their importance in developing effective cosmetic products.

This study found that HFV70 cryogels, made from Flammulina velutipes extract and hydroxyethyl cellulose, effectively promoted rapid hemostasis and tissue regeneration in full-thickness skin defects in rats, demonstrating improved hemocompatibility, cytocompatibility, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties.

This study describes the development of a minoxidil gel using the copolymer Sepineo P 600, showing improved spreadability, occlusivity, adhesiveness, and stability compared to minoxidil lotion, without causing skin corrosion, making it a potentially more effective treatment form for alopecia areata.

This study found that hair follicle-plugging reduced skin permeation of certain model drugs, with effects varying based on EtOH pretreatment and the drug being evaluated.

In this study, an injectable alginate hydrogel with Fibronectin3 was developed, demonstrating high biocompatibility and ability to enhance wound healing in mice, suggesting promise for clinical application in treating irregular wounds.

This study found that modifying biphasic calcium phosphate/poly(methyl methacrylate) bone cement with human hair keratin improves its hydrophilicity, mechanical properties, and supports bone repair in rats, indicating potential for orthopedic applications.

This study evaluated a menthol-based microemulsion for transdermal delivery of finasteride and silodosin, finding that it enhanced skin permeation and flux compared to aqueous solutions, suggesting a promising method for managing benign prostatic hyperplasia.

This study found that CMAD wool keratin may protect human hair from damage during repeated bleaching and permanent waving treatments.
