This chapter provides an overview of the complex chemical and physical structure of the hair surface, detailing how factors like ethnicity, environmental stress, and cosmetic treatments can alter its properties and influence the adhesion of hair care products.

Keratins 8 and 14 can help identify and diagnose benign skin tumors.

This review discusses the roles and characteristics of skin stem cells, their niches, and signaling pathways in skin maintenance, aging, and cancer, highlighting their potential in therapeutic applications but presenting no new clinical findings.

This study found that basement membrane components and structures in mouse hair follicles are highly specialized for specific inter-tissue interactions, with laminin α5 playing a crucial role in hair cycle regulation and anchoring.

This article reviews the significance of hair in human social and sexual communication, reflecting on the interest in hair cosmetics and the demand for medical advice on hair issues, and reports no new research findings.

This study developed a tissue-engineered model of innervated skin, allowing for examination of how epidermis and capillaries affect nerve growth and offering a tool for further research on skin-related processes.

This review discusses approaches to diagnosing and managing cutaneous manifestations of lupus erythematosus and reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the immune functions of porcine skin and proposes a classification of dendritic cell subsets based on similarities to human skin, but it reports no new clinical results.

This article reviews advancements in understanding skin regeneration and suggests that bioengineering skin surrogates may soon enhance treatments for skin trauma, but it presents no new clinical findings.

This study found that transplanted ES cell-derived epidermal stem cells promoted the formation of epidermis, sweat gland-like, sebaceous gland-like, and hair follicle-like structures in mouse skin defects.

This study reviews the complexities of burn-related skin complications, highlighting postburn pruritus, dyspigmentation, and the risk of malignant ulcers, while offering a framework for evidence-based management through various treatment approaches.

This article reviews various skin changes and conditions during pregnancy, noting that while many are normal, some can become pathologic, but it reports no new research findings.

This article reviews sebaceous immunobiology and highlights the complex role of sebaceous glands and sebocytes in skin barrier function and inflammation, particularly in acne pathogenesis, but reports no new results.

This study found that pregnant women commonly experience physiological skin changes, such as pigmentary alterations, and are susceptible to various dermatological conditions, including scabies and pregnancy-specific dermatoses.

The document summarizes important skin care topics for non-specialist doctors, including treatments for skin conditions and the management of skin diseases.

This study found that the formation of the fibre cuticle surface in Merino sheep is similar to the epidermal stratum corneum process and not from a modified plasma membrane as previously thought.

This study observed that during the postnatal development of gray short-tailed opossums, skin transitions from facilitating gas exchange through a dense capillary network at birth to supporting thermoregulation, with significant changes in skin thickness and structure occurring by 35 days old.

This review covers presentations from the 68th Annual Meeting of the Society of Investigative Dermatology and highlights research advances in dermatology, but reports no new clinical results.

The document concludes that skin and nail changes can indicate various underlying health conditions.

In this study, researchers demonstrated that follicular tight junctions in porcine skin form a barrier to nanoparticle penetration, particularly in upper regions, which supports its use as a model for human skin.

This review discusses various dermatological conditions prevalent among football athletes and suggests that these are exacerbated by the sport's physical demands, environmental conditions, and use of specific equipment.

This study developed a 3D skin model with immune and endothelial cells, which may enhance understanding of skin biology and diseases due to its closer approximation to native skin.

This review examines the functions of vitamin D and its receptor in skin and explores how these are regulated, reporting no new clinical results.

In this study, upper-bulge epidermal stem cells in mouse hair follicles were shown to play a role in forming tactile sensory units by creating an extracellular matrix that supports nerve interactions.

This study suggests that both age and photoexposure may decrease maximum viable epidermis thickness and impact the dermal-epidermal junction in women with Fitzpatrick skin types II-III.

This case report describes a unique presentation of porokeratotic eccrine ostial and dermal duct nevus with lesions on the dorsum of the hand and a focal lichenoid infiltrate, differing from typical palm and sole involvement.
