This study highlights a comprehensive approach for authenticating and assessing the quality of herbal medicines using a combination of physiological, morphological, and molecular techniques, including HPTLC, ICP-MS, UV spectroscopy, and DNA barcoding, to ensure the standardization of herbal medicinal products, particularly Eclipta alba.

This study demonstrated that using lead-doped keratin film as a calibration standard allows for accurate tracking of lead distribution along hair strands, revealing different exposure patterns among workers in a battery manufacturing factory in Thailand.

This study found that while measuring zinc in hair did not allow calculation of individual hair growth rates, it effectively characterized zinc, lead, and mercury concentrations and improved methods for analyzing these exposures using LA-ICP-MS.

This study in western Hudson Bay, Canada, examined trace elements in the hair of adult male polar bears and found significant differences in concentration patterns along the hair length, suggesting laser ablation ICP-MS is a promising tool for monitoring these variations over time.

This review discusses the growing use of scalp hair for elemental analysis in various fields and highlights advancements in analysis techniques, including the future potential of laser ablation ICP-MS, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that hydrophobic lipid-coated silica nanoparticles penetrated deeper into human stratum corneum compared to their hydrophilic counterparts, highlighting the influence of surface polarity on skin penetration.

This study used hair samples to assess mineral levels and found that higher iron status may be associated with an increased risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, while no significant associations were observed for copper and magnesium levels in this cohort.

The researchers reported that hair bio element median derivatives bioassay is an effective and reliable method for evaluating the nutritional status of various bio elements, offering a non-invasive approach for nutritional health surveillance and precision medicine.

This study concluded that the elemental composition of tail brush hair in newborn calves can indicate trace element supply to the fetus during the last months of pregnancy.

This study found that laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry can effectively reconstruct time-resolved mercury exposure in micrometer segments of a single hair strand from fish-eaters.

This study found that variations in mineral content of hair, such as increased Zr in asthma and respiratory infections, may be linked to different illnesses, suggesting potential diagnostic use.

The woman likely died from acute arsenic poisoning, not chronic exposure.

This study highlights the role of bioinformatics and in-silico studies for identifying drug targets, specifically in herbal drugs, using software and modern techniques to analyze data and model disease pathways before later-stage in vivo and in vitro testing.

This review examines physiological changes and dermatoses during pregnancy and reports no clinical results, highlighting the importance of recognizing these conditions for appropriate management.

This review discusses the analysis of pharmaceutical relics from prehistoric times to the twentieth century and emphasizes the need for a multifaceted approach, but it presents no new experimental results.

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 microplastics on the Lebanese Mediterranean coast transport various organic and inorganic pollutants, posing threats to marine organisms and potentially human health.

This study found that SA-MS hydrogel released Mo4+ ions which promoted healing of disease-impaired wounds by enhancing cell proliferation and angiogenesis, and through its photothermal effects addressed skin cancer-impaired wounds in mice.

This study found that hair shaft keratin proteins can be reliably identified from samples as small as 0.12 cm, suggesting their potential forensic utility with typical casework sample sizes.

In this study, the researchers synthesized copper-doped mesoporous silica nanoparticles and observed that they enhance tumor microenvironment regulation and, when paired with disulfiram, effectively kill cancer cells while also showing synergistic anti-tumor effects with immune checkpoint inhibitors.

This preclinical study found that Mesenchymal Stem Cell-derived Conditioned Media formulations were safe and effective in rat and mouse models for treating chemotherapy- and radiation-induced oral mucositis, demonstrating improved tissue regeneration and healing, most notably at higher concentrations.

In this study using a rat model, discontinuing dutasteride improved some relaxant responses but did not fully restore erectile function, indicating a potential time-dependent detriment of the drug.

In this study, copper-doxorubicin liposomes with multidose therapy reduced systemic toxicity compared to ammonium sulfate-loaded doxorubicin liposomes, while combinatorial strategies further enhanced tumor regression and accumulation.

This review discusses the critical parameters for MALDI IMS sample preparation in skin analysis and highlights its applications in wound healing, neoplasia, and infection research, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, researchers reported that adult females approaching menopause in Canada generally had similar or lower blood concentrations of toxic, essential, and trace elements compared to their peers, but most participants showed zinc levels below the proposed adequacy threshold.

This review discusses the potential of Lansium domesticum as a herbal medicine, summarizing its traditional uses, nutritional value, bioactivities, and related nanoparticles and pharmaceutical formulations, but reports no new experimental results.

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 suggests that alterations in copper metabolism may play a key role in the development of androgenetic alopecia in women, presenting potential targets for treatment strategies.

This review presents the practice of using hair bioelement analysis to assess nutritional status or environmental exposure, proposing complex interactions and hypotheses regarding depression and autism but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that DNA damage in obese women was linked to serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and hair chromium levels, with higher serum vitamin D associated with less damage and higher chromium with more damage.
