This study found that shampoo and conditioner do not alter hair's molecular structure, while perming treatments significantly affect keratin and intermediate filament structures due to bond alterations.

This review categorizes 59 modifications of the Dermatology Life Quality Index across multiple studies, highlighting the need for further validation of these customized health-related quality of life tools in dermatology.

This study discusses the potential of advanced imaging technologies in dermatology to improve diagnostic accuracy and reduce the need for invasive procedures like biopsies, while noting significant barriers in adoption and accessibility in India due to costs and infrastructure constraints.

The authors concluded that their new grading system can effectively classify early female pattern hair loss and evaluate treatment progress.

This systematic review provides an in-depth evaluation of non-invasive imaging and biophysical methods for diagnosing and monitoring vitiligo, emphasizing the need for studies with larger sample sizes to verify their use in clinical practice and research.

Skin aging reflects overall body aging and can indicate internal health conditions.

In this study, extracting internal lipids from Caucasian hair fibers led to decreased water permeability, influenced by the fluidity of lipids.

This article examines how digital technologies, drawing on Marshall McLuhan's concept of media as an "extension of man," transform design thinking by creating new possibilities without replacing it, emphasizing the need for a hybrid, reflective practice in design.

This source highlights that alopecia areata is a complex autoimmune disorder leading to patchy, nonscarring hair loss with variable treatment responses, reflecting unmet clinical needs. Advances in genetic research are improving understanding, yet current treatments often lead to persistent relapses.

In this article, the author explores how digital technologies can expand the cognitive and creative capabilities of designers, noting that while technology transforms design thinking, it does not replace it but rather opens up new possibilities and requires a hybrid, reflective practice.

This study found that elastin-like recombinamer (ELR) wound dressings promote tissue regeneration and stability without rejection in ex vivo and in vivo models, indicating potential for hard-to-heal wound treatment.

This study found that cetaceans have adapted their fibroblast growth factors to assist in low bone density, hypoxia tolerance, and the development of rigid flippers, reflecting significant evolutionary changes for aquatic life.

This study suggests that mammalian hair follicles may serve as a viable and non-invasive system for diagnosing traumatic brain injury, reflecting similar molecular responses observed in other tissues.

This study found that cortisol levels, a biomarker of chronic stress, significantly increased in the post-COVID-19 lockdown period compared to pre-lockdown and during-lockdown periods, especially among females and young adults, reflecting sustained psychological stress from the pandemic.

This case study describes a rare instance of subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus on the chin, highlighting the effectiveness of using dermoscopy and reflectance confocal microscopy for accurate diagnosis and monitoring, which led to significant lesion improvement with corticosteroid and immunomodulatory treatment over 19 weeks.

This study found that washing hair with surfactants reduces the internal density of hair due to cuticle lifting, and suggests that a cuticle-sealing strategy can inhibit this effect and maintain hair homeostasis.

Skin problems can indicate different diseases inside the body.

This study found that human C-tactile afferents respond to hair deflection, suggesting a functionally relevant anatomical relationship to hair follicles similar to that observed in mice.

This study highlights confocal microscopy as a promising, minimally invasive tool for assessing hair morphology and internal structures, making it valuable for cosmetic hair assessments.

This article discusses the principles and considerations of clinical photography for hair disorders in dermatology, reporting no new clinical findings.

This article reviews the use of hair cortisol concentration as a biomarker to assess long-term stress in both animals and humans, but it reports no new experimental results.

This study found that minoxidil effectively reduced blood pressure in patients with severe hypertension and renal failure resistant to conventional drugs, though side effects like hirsutism and edema were common.

This study used ultrahigh-resolution optical coherence tomography to observe hair shaft structures, finding melanin granules absent only in white hair, which may explain color differences between black and white hair.

This review article highlights the potential of mesenchymal stem cells, their exosomes, and non-coding RNAs in repairing aging skin tissues due to their ability to secrete beneficial compounds, suggesting their promising role in photoaging treatment without causing immune rejection or granuloma formation.

This study demonstrated that the immunomodulatory drug FTY720 may enhance the survival of allogeneic fat grafts in mice by reducing immune rejection and improving neovascularization.

The Journal für Ästhetische Chirurgie expanded its board to improve collaboration and knowledge in aesthetic surgery.

This review discusses the isolation, characterization, and potential clinical applications of tissue-derived extracellular vesicles in cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment, noting their significance but highlighting the risks and need for appropriate protocols.

This review discusses the impact of various exogenous agents on hair, such as cosmetics and radiation, but reports no new experimental results.

This review summarizes evidence indicating that body image issues in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus should be addressed with the same importance as physical symptoms like pain and disability.

This study found a significant association between patients' sex of rearing and external genitalia in those with gonadal dysgenesis, while noting lower testosterone levels compared to controls.
