Hair fibers break by cuticle cell slipping, shape changing, cuticle fraying, and surface cracking when stretched under specific conditions.

This study identified 15 Iranian patients with PLEC variants linked to various plectinopathies and highlighted a novel association between a homozygous nonsense variant in PLEC and a rare combination of disorders including EB pruriginosa, muscular dystrophy, and congenital myasthenic syndrome.

This article reviews current understanding of Hutchinson–Gilford Progeria Syndrome and suggests RNA-based treatments show promise, but no new clinical findings are reported.

This case report describes the first known instance of hair and eyebrow hyperpigmentation in a patient after seven months of gefitinib treatment for non-small cell lung cancer.

In this study, researchers established that increased expression of the human GLI-1 gene in mouse skin leads to the development of tumors that closely resemble human basal cell carcinomas, without requiring additional mutations in the p53 or Ha ras genes.

This study used a novel fluorescent tagging method in mice to observe collagen IV dynamics during hair follicle development, revealing that alterations in basement membrane turnover can influence epithelial progenitor cell behavior and organ morphology by affecting cell proliferation and movement.

In this study, researchers found that deficiencies in Gsdma1/2/3 significantly inhibited the initiation and progression of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) in mice, suggesting GSDMA's role in promoting cSCC proliferation and its potential as a therapeutic target.

This study identified the c.1204G to A (p.E402K) mutation in the hHB6 gene as a cause of monilethrix in a Chinese family, highlighting the gene's role in the condition.

This study found that water fractions of Angiopteris evecta stimulated hair growth in male rabbits, suggesting potential alopecia treatment benefits pending further research in humans.

This study found that using a pH-sensitive layered double hydroxide nanocarrier to deliver etoposide significantly reduced liver toxicity and enhanced the drug’s effectiveness in targeting and suppressing non-small cell lung cancer.

This study found that Grateloupia angusta extract improved wound healing by promoting matrix production and pro-angiogenic activity in cell cultures and enhanced early wound repair in a mouse skin incision model.

This study found that a new autonomous, moisture-driven flexible electrogenerative dressing significantly accelerated chronic wound healing in a diabetic mouse model compared to the control group.

This study reported that GFP labeling driven by the K15 promoter enables visualization and selection of stem cells in adult human scalp hair follicles for further analysis and manipulation.

This study found that the HS III element in the K14 gene's regulatory sequence promotes gene expression in inner root sheath keratinocytes, highlighting cooperative interactions in keratinocyte-specific gene regulation.

This study found that CNGC 6, CNGC 9, and CNGC 14 are crucial for maintaining calcium oscillations necessary for normal root hair growth in plants, with mutations leading to defects like swelling and bursting.

In this study, high expression of S100A4 in glioblastoma was associated with worse patient survival and promoted tumor progression by enhancing pro-tumorigenic vascular functions.

This randomized controlled trial found that consuming *Gynostemma pentaphyllum* extract significantly improved hair elasticity, density, and diameter over 24 weeks without severe adverse events, suggesting it as a safe functional food ingredient for hair health improvement.

In this study, expressing human K16 in the epidermis of K14 null mice prevented early skin blistering but led to age-related anomalies, indicating K16 and K14 have distinct roles despite their sequence similarity.

This article discusses junctional epidermolysis bullosa caused by COL17 deficiency, noting a lack of experimental therapies and the impact of nonsense mutations, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that the new HCC additive enhances the permeation of pigments and active ingredients into hair, suggesting potential use in developing functional cosmetic hair products.

In this study, researchers identified a recurrent nonsense mutation, c.409C>T (p.Arg137*), in the COL7A1 gene through whole exome sequencing in a family with autosomal recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, demonstrating the importance of this method for diagnosing genetically complex conditions.

This abstract reviews the role of the human KRT 16 wild-type allele in skin and hair development and its association with certain genetic skin disorders, without presenting new findings.

This study found that preconditioning adipose-derived stem cells with HB-EGF enhanced their ability to promote hair growth in vivo by increasing their motility, paracrine effects, and survival.

This study reports that a homozygous A1103G mutation in DSG 4 is responsible for localized autosomal recessive hypotrichosis in a 2-year-old Chinese girl, resulting in reduced DSG 4 expression and hair defects.

In this study, a TGF-β mimic molecule from Heligmosomoides polygyrus was observed to enhance wound healing in mice, with improved tissue regeneration and specific immune cell recruitment without increased scarring.

This study explored the development of GelMet, an electrospun hybrid nanofiber scaffold made from gelatin and PEG methacrylate, which demonstrated strong mechanical properties and effectively supported cell growth in vitro, suggesting its potential for skin tissue engineering applications.

This study found that transfecting hair follicle stem cells with a PEI-DNA complex expressing hTERT stimulated hair growth in rats by inducing follicle neogenesis and promoting the anagen phase.

This article discusses the human KRT72 wild-type allele's role in hair formation and reports no new research findings.

This study found that a 22-bp InDel polymorphism in the FGF7 gene was significantly associated with growth traits in goats, with genotypes ID and/or II linked to better growth compared to genotype DD, indicating its potential as a molecular marker in breeding programs.
