This study found that the Spanish version of the hair-specific Skindex-29 questionnaire effectively detected changes in health-related quality of life among women with female-pattern hair loss, and the scores were significantly correlated with the SF-12 survey results after treatment with a 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor.

A specific gene variant is linked to heart disease, increased heart muscle, curly hair, and thick skin on palms and soles.

This study found that the absence of Hes1 in hair follicles delays secondary hair germ activation and shortens the anagen phase, impacting HFSC self-renewal and long-term hair regeneration.

This project by the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery aims to define best practices in hair restoration surgery but does not report new clinical findings.

In this pilot study, researchers isolated skin-derived precursor-like cells from human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived skin organoids, revealing their potential for future hair regenerative applications by exhibiting self-renewal and key marker expression.

This study found that Hairless protein down-regulates Msx2 expression, affecting hair follicle formation in Hairpoor mice by altering the MSX2 regulatory pathway.

This study reports that injecting a non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid compound into keratosis pilaris-affected skin led to significant improvements in roughness, redness, and overall skin condition, while maintaining a favorable safety profile, making it a promising alternative treatment option.

This report describes a child and his father with hereditary hypotrichosis simplex, an uncommon isolated form of hair loss, with no other ectodermal or systemic abnormalities noted.

This article reviews keratosis follicularis squamosa, a keratinizing disorder predominantly found in the Japanese population, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that genes in the human keratin-associated protein 1 family may have evolved mainly through gene duplication of cysteine-repeat motifs.

This article reviews the challenges in studying keratin proteins and emphasizes the potential of modern proteomic techniques to advance their research, but it reports no new findings.

This study found that localized administration of heat or certain stress protein inducers effectively prevented chemotherapy-induced hair loss in rodent models without affecting chemotherapy efficacy.

This study found that the dual-wavelength non-ablative fractional laser provides enhanced skin rejuvenation by increasing thermal lesion coverage and collagen remodeling compared to using the CO2 laser alone in an ex vivo setting.

This review highlights the role of the receptor TLR4 in cellular aging and age-related diseases, suggesting it as a potential therapeutic target due to its contribution to persistent inflammation and symptom regulation in these conditions.

This study found that combining Alexandrite laser with iontophoresis of chymotrypsin and papain enzymes reduced the laser pulse requirements compared to laser alone for treating paradoxical hypertrichosis in women with facial hirsutism, suggesting potential clinical benefits in managing this condition.

This study observed that male patients with alopecia areata had elevated serum levels of HSP70 and IL-15, with levels increasing alongside disease severity, suggesting these markers are strongly associated with the disease's pathogenesis.

This paper describes the hGRα gene structure and its expression, focusing on the functional properties of the longest GRα isoform, but reports no new results.

This study identified two key pentapeptide quasi-repeats in human keratin-associated proteins, which are similar to motifs found in sheep wool.

This project by the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery reviews best practices in hair restoration surgery and reports no new research findings.

This study identified a monoclonal antibody, HKN-2, that recognizes specific cells in human skin and may indicate a common antigenic determinant between hair and other skin epithelial tissues.

This study suggests that heparan sulfate is crucial for regulating hair follicle formation, cycling, and gland morphogenesis, with its ablation leading to continuous hair growth and increased gland activity in mice.

This study identified nine novel KRTAP5 family genes associated with human hair formation, demonstrating preferential expression in hair roots and suggesting their role in hair development.

In this study, Huoxue Bushen Mixture was associated with increased blood vessel formation and VEGF expression in mice hair follicles, suggesting it may enhance hair growth.

This report details two patients with Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria syndrome who exhibited generalized shiny skin in infancy and had a novel mutation in the LMNA gene.

This study found that untreated hirsute patients have lower expression of type 2 17β-HSD mRNA in scalp hairs, indicating potential disturbances in androgen metabolism, compared to treated hirsute patients.

A 4-year-old girl had a rare hair disorder affecting only part of her scalp.

This study found that using histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate solution with adenosine triphosphate and deferoxamine for hair graft preservation significantly reduced postsurgical shedding compared to Ringer solution, enhancing patient satisfaction.

This study observed that mice lacking epidermal HSD11b1 had increased non-histaminergic itch and changes in skin nerve fibers, potentially linked to higher TSLP expression.

This study characterized a new human keratin, hK6irs1, specifically found in the inner root sheath of hair follicles, which suggests its role in the structural integrity and guidance of growing hair shafts.
