This review evaluates hair growth measurement methods for human scalp hair, suggesting that combining highly resolutive analytical approaches with global calibrated methods is recommended for assessing hair changes in clinical settings.

This study observed significant differences in hair and cashmere properties among three goat breeds in Southwest China, noting better quality cashmere in Inner Mongolia cashmere goats and their crossbreed compared to Dazu black goats.

This study reports a less invasive method for detecting human clock gene expression using hair follicle cells, which accurately reflects individual behavioral rhythms and suggests a time lag issue for rotating shift workers.

This study developed a new proteomic method to identify and assess ancient hair proteins using only small amounts of sample, providing insights into hair protein alteration processes over time.

This study found that direct immunofluorescence of hair is a simple and non-invasive alternative for monitoring pemphigus vulgaris, matching skin biopsy results in the cases observed.

This review presents standardized methods for assessing and tracking hair loss in alopecia areata but reports no clinical results, with the authors noting time limitations in clinical practice.

This study found a widespread vitamin D deficiency among medical laboratory visitors in Misurata City, with 80.42% of females and 19.57% of males affected, and higher deficiency rates during winter and spring, particularly in individuals aged 35–45.

This study presents a method using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry to quantify biotin in plasma and serum, and explores how high biotin intake can interfere with diagnostic immunoassays that utilize biotin-streptavidin technology, potentially leading to misdiagnosis of endocrine disorders.

This review explores the complex relationship between thyroid hormones and skin, discussing potential mechanisms and known interactions but reports no new clinical results, emphasizing the need for further research.

This study found that hair cortisol did not indicate expected hypercortisolism in acutely underweight anorexia nervosa patients and did not change significantly during short-term weight restoration.

This study suggests that artificial sebum L may serve as an effective substitute for human sebum in drug transport studies, due to its similar physicochemical properties.

This study found no significant proteomic differences in hair samples across racial or geometric groups in a culturally diverse South African cohort, highlighting the limited value of racial classification in precision medicine.

This study found that untargeted hair metabolomics analysis detected significantly altered endogenous biomolecules, potentially serving as biomarkers for identifying oxidative cosmetic hair treatments like bleaching.

This study found that over 97% of college students at a large Midwestern U.S. university have engaged in pubic hair removal, influenced by demographic and social factors with notable differences in preferences observed across age, gender, Greek Life affiliation, and racial/ethnic groups.

This article outlines methods to study the skin and its molecular traits, focusing on interpretation and techniques applicable to mouse models, including diverse assays and approaches like electron microscopy and large-scale lipid analyses.

In this study, researchers found that massively parallel sequencing of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) can improve information recovery from forensic samples, with successful full region amplification possible from as few as 2,000 mtDNA copies, albeit with variability in heteroplasmy among hair samples from the same donor.

This study investigated 130 patients and found a significant inverse correlation between copper content and the copper/zinc ratio in hair samples and the extent of coronary artery disease, while zinc content alone showed no significant relationship with disease extent.

This study found that hair samples from chronic tramadol and cannabis users showed positive drug presence for 3-4 months and 6-7 months, respectively, after discontinuation.

This study found significant differences in the spread of sebum on hair among Chinese men with greasy and non-greasy scalps, despite similar sebum amounts at the root region post-shampoo.

This study found that progesterone levels were higher and increased significantly throughout pregnancy, contrasting with stable levels in non-pregnant women.

This study found that a serum-free DMEM-F12 medium with 45% oxygen best supports in vitro development and differentiation of human fetal skin, closely mimicking the in vivo state.

This study found that repeatedly collecting hair follicles from individuals with fragile X syndrome is feasible for measuring FMR1 and FMRP levels in both home and office settings.

This report discusses a request for a health hazard evaluation at Equifax in St. Petersburg, Florida concerning potential workplace exposures related to reported employee health issues, particularly hair loss, but provides no new results.

This study found that decision-making effects related to time of day and chronotype were only significant when using RNA-based chronotype measurements, indicating molecular clock differences may influence these behaviors.

This review discusses the potential of adipose-derived tissue components like nanofat and stem cells for aesthetic rejuvenation, covering their use in hair growth, scar reduction, and more, without reporting new clinical results.

Telogen Effluvium is a hair loss condition where treatment involves identifying and managing its triggers.

This study found that testosterone concentrations in hair samples were moderately stable over three months, with cosmetic treatments like coloring increasing testosterone levels, while natural hair color in untreated hair did not affect testosterone measurements.

This study describes a simple, noninvasive hair counting method used in a hair growth prevention trial, assessing its reliability and validity.

This review proposes a new classification for telogen effluvium, identifying three pathogenetic types with a common feature of profuse hair shedding, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that metabolite levels in hair samples differ significantly by hair color and segment, leading to recommendations for best practices in hair metabolomic studies.
