This case study describes a young woman with a unique syndrome combining lamellar ichthyosis, neuroectodermal and mesodermal defects, and hair with trichoschisis and low sulfur content.

This study highlights a case where progressive baldness initially diagnosed as alopecia universalis was attributed to a basal cell hamartoma of each hair follicle, stressing the importance of skin biopsies for unusual alopecia cases.

This review discusses recent findings on hair follicle morphogenesis and regeneration, focusing on molecular signals and stem cells, and suggests that understanding these processes may aid in developing new strategies for wound healing.

This study demonstrated that phosphatidylcholine liposomes can deliver calcein and melanin into hair follicles and shafts in mice without significant penetration into the dermis, epidermis, or bloodstream.

This study found that curcumin nanocrystals efficiently penetrated hair follicles down to the lower infundibulum in an ex-vivo pig ear model, regardless of the gel vehicle used, though passive dermal penetration varied with the vehicle’s skin hydrating properties.

This review concluded that FDA-cleared low-level laser therapy devices are safe and effective for patients with male and female pattern hair loss who do not respond to or tolerate standard treatments.

This study found that caffeine enhanced hair growth and keratinocyte proliferation in human hair follicles, with female follicles showing greater sensitivity than male ones.

This study found that the creation of hair follicle lumens in mice is driven by the outward migration of keratin 79-positive cells, suggesting a novel mechanism for generating hollow cores in hair follicles.

This study describes five patients with porokeratotic adnexal ostial nevus, a rare skin disorder, highlighting its clinical features and proposing a new encompassing term for related conditions.

This study identified a homozygous missense mutation in the KRTHB5 gene linked to pure hair–nail ectodermal dysplasias in a large consanguineous Pakistani family, providing new insights into the condition's molecular pathogenesis.

This article reviews hair analysis for drug detection and its applications in various fields, but reports no new research findings, emphasizing the need to consider the method's complexities and potential pitfalls.

This study found that high-dose oral zinc significantly influences hair growth in mice, showing both inhibition and promotion effects depending on the timing and duration of administration.

This study found that inhibiting PKC-β activity with bisindolylmaleimide reduces pigmentation in the skin and hair of guinea pigs and mice by preventing tyrosinase activation.

This study found that keratin 6hf, a type II keratin, is expressed in specific regions of mouse and human hair and suggests potential interactions with keratin 17, impacting hair development and associated disorders.

This study found that the controlled release of specific growth factors from biodegradable hydrogels significantly enhanced hair follicle growth and hair shaft length in mice compared to growth factors in solution.

In this report, it was noted that severe paresthesia, ophthalmoplegia, cerebellar and extrapyramidal signs, and alopecia can strongly indicate thallium poisoning, and haemodialysis may be beneficial even in the third week after poisoning.

In this study, serum from patients with alopecia areata or universalis did not affect hair growth in transplanted scalp skin grafts on nude mice, despite increased deposition of immunoreactants.

This study concluded that oral minoxidil is an effective and well-tolerated alternative to topical minoxidil for healthy patients struggling with application-related compliance issues.

This study explored the complex roles of niche cells in regulating hair follicle stem cells, identifying specific cell functions such as signaling, sensing, and relaying messages, which could provide insights into treating hair loss conditions like androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata.

In this study, transcriptome analysis suggested that lipid metabolism and apoptosis may be key factors influencing hair length differences between short-hair and long-hair rabbits.

This review discusses current therapeutic targets and treatments for androgenic alopecia but reports no clinical results; the authors highlight the challenge of developing multi-target drugs for effective treatment.

This study reports identifying 12 candidate genes potentially involved in regulating hair follicle development in cashmere goats, which could contribute to improving cashmere production.

This review examines the potential of nanoparticles for localized drug delivery via hair follicles but reports no new clinical results, with the authors noting a lack of commercial development despite research progress.

In this study, researchers found that Asian hair contains more integral lipids than European or African hair, which may protect it better from UV-induced damage.

This review discusses the multiple layers of environmental controls on hair stem cell homeostasis and suggests that targeting these layers could offer safer regenerative medicine therapies without directly using stem cells.

This study observed that certain hair care practices, such as wearing cornrows and using hair extensions, were strongly associated with the development of traction alopecia and seborrheic dermatitis in African American girls.

This study found that a gain-of-function mutation in the TRPV3 channel leads to altered hair development in DS-Nh mice by affecting the anagen and telogen phases, highlighting TRPV3's role in hair growth regulation.

This study found that a 70% methanol extract from red ginseng stimulated hair growth in mouse vibrissal follicles, suggesting its bioactive components, particularly certain ginsenosides, may promote hair growth.

This article discusses the role of dermatologists in advising patients on hair cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, highlighting the development of cosmeceuticals and the need for accurate information on health hazards associated with hair care products, but reports no new results.
