This review examines the histochemistry and keratinization processes of human hair, exploring the structural roles of keratin proteins, protein chains, and lipids, but offers no new results.

This study investigated the formation of a specific chemical crosslink in hair proteins and explored the role of transamidase enzymes in hair follicles.

This study found that the formation of the fibre cuticle surface in Merino sheep is similar to the epidermal stratum corneum process and not from a modified plasma membrane as previously thought.

This study found that Foxn1-like genes in fish and mice are functionally equivalent in activating hair keratin genes, whereas changes in the cephalochordate Foxn1-like gene result in inactivity.

This study suggests that human outer root sheath cells are suitable for skin replacement, as they can form a stratified epithelium similar to normal epidermis in organotypic cultures.

This review discusses the formation and structure of the cornified cell envelope in the epidermis, highlighting biochemical pathways and genetic factors, but presents no new experimental results.

This study found that stepwise thermal treatment of human hair waste at temperatures from 200 to 450 °C produced hollow microtubes, with structure changes influenced by temperature, core degradation, and cortex melting.

This study observed that in mouse fetuses, reticular contraction by actomyosin is involved in dermal regeneration, and differences in actin and α-SMA localization may determine the switch between regeneration and scar formation, suggesting potential insights for wound regeneration therapy.

This article reviews the significance of hair in human social and sexual communication, reflecting on the interest in hair cosmetics and the demand for medical advice on hair issues, and reports no new research findings.

In this study, researchers developed a microfluidics-based method for creating uniform, size-controlled stem cell spheroids that enhance osteogenic differentiation when encapsulated in alginate-RGD microgels.

This study found that implanting isolated adult rat dermal papillae into ear cuts led to the emergence of unusually large vibrissa-type hair follicles, demonstrating their capacity to induce specific hair fiber characteristics.

This article discusses methods to measure comedogenesis in acne through the presence of microcomedones and reports no new clinical results; the authors outline a skin surface biopsy technique using cyanoacrylate gel.

This study found that cultured human dermal papilla cells formed into three-dimensional spheres have an increased ability to induce hair follicles from mouse epidermal cells compared to two-dimensional cultures.

This paper provides evidence supporting the formation of new hair follicles in adult humans, building on findings previously demonstrated in rabbits.

In this study, researchers found that human fingerprint ridges are formed through a modified hair follicle developmental process and spatial patterns influenced by specific signaling pathways.

This review discusses the role and plasticity of epidermal stem cells in skin maintenance, wound repair, and cancer, noting recent insights from advanced technologies but providing no new clinical results.

In this study, murine follicular cell aggregates developed into hair-like structures in culture, which upon implantation into mice skin matured into complete hair follicles, suggesting potential for treating hair loss.

This study identified histologic lesions and a defect in adhesion molecules causing hair loss in mice with the bal mutation, linked to a mutation in the desmoglein 3 gene.

This study found that fibromodulin significantly reduces scar formation and boosts scar strength in rodent and porcine models, suggesting potential for FMOD-based therapies in cutaneous wound repair.

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 reported that a novel liposomal formulation, SP-bFGF-SF-LIP, enhanced bFGF stability and skin permeability, significantly improving hair follicle recovery and wound healing in a mouse model.

In this study, cell membrane remodeling with a thermoresponsive boronic acid copolymer was shown to rapidly form spheroids from cancer or cardiac cell lines under standard conditions, promising advances in tissue engineering.

This study found that ILK deficiency disrupts hair follicle development by impairing cell polarity and laminin-511 assembly, but these defects can be partially reversed with exogenous laminin-511.

Type I and Type II keratin chains can form heterodimers despite sequence differences.

Fibroblasts are crucial in scar formation and wound healing, with potential therapies aiming for scarless healing.

This study concludes that egg shell membrane hydrolysates, particularly Fraction I, may effectively mitigate UV-B radiation-induced wrinkles and promote skin collagen and hyaluronic acid production, suggesting potential use in functional cosmetics.

This study observed that mercury-lamp irradiation may cause cleavage of disulfide bonds in keratins of white hair, leading to the formation of thiols in laboratory settings.

In this study, a hydrogel with anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antioxidant, and wound tissue adhesion properties was developed, showing significant potential for wound healing and suggesting it could offer a new and effective treatment option in clinical settings.

This study found that TGF-β2 may enhance collagen expression and spheroid formation in human dermal papilla cells, which could improve their hair inductivity and maintenance.

This study found that epidermal cell extract from keratinocytes may promote epidermal cell proliferation and migration while inhibiting fibroblast activity, potentially reducing scarring in wound healing.
