This study found that disrupting Lm332 expression in mice changes keratinocyte genetic expression, alters cell shape, and disrupts epidermal homeostasis, despite some compensatory anchorage by hair follicle basal cells.

This study suggests that distinct chromatin topologies allow different lineage-specific enhancers to regulate Hoxd genes in mouse vibrissae and chicken feather primordia, while conserved regulatory elements maintain transcriptional robustness in the embryonic trunk across species.

This study observed that bleaching brown human hair with persulfate salts and hydrogen peroxide induced significant conformational changes in keratin, particularly affecting disulfide bridges and oxidized sulfur species, which may inform the development of hair restorative treatments.

This study found that a solution containing 0.5% Camellia japonica placenta extract increased scalp moisture and reduced sebum content, dead keratin, and erythema in adult females, suggesting potential as a scalp treatment.

This study found that stimulating dermal papilla cells with specific adipo-osteogenic factors and growth factors helped maintain their viability and restored their hair-forming activity in vitro.

This study investigated the mechanical response of the human hair cuticle to strain and found that cuticular deformation directly corresponded with fiber elongation, revealing significant molecular-level changes in disulfide crosslinks but maintained structural stability, highlighting the role of the cuticle in stress resistance.

This study explored a mother and daughter with loose anagen hair syndrome linked to wooly hair, identifying an intronic variant in the KRT71 gene that affects hair keratin splicing, thus broadening the spectrum of KRT71-related disorders.

This study examined the cytodifferentiation stage of hair follicle development in cashmere goats, identifying nine cell populations and key regulatory pathways, including transcription factors and keratin genes, that may influence fiber quality and inform breeding strategies.

This review summarizes advancements in forensic DNA phenotyping for appearance, ancestry, and age prediction from crime scene samples, reporting no new research findings but highlighting areas needing further research and validation.

This study found that human progenitor keratinocytes form unique complements of enhancers and super-enhancers during differentiation and migration, influencing gene expression and skin disease variant enrichment.

The gene for Marie Unna hereditary hypotrichosis is located on chromosome 8p21.

This study found that keratin 17 expression is initially down-regulated and later strongly up-regulated by ionizing radiation in a rat model, with p53 repressing early transcription.

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 observed that medical castration for prostate cancer prolongs the QT/QTc intervals, potentially leading to serious arrhythmias like torsade de pointes and ventricular fibrillation, even in patients without prior QT prolongation risk.

This study evaluated a hair mask containing rice germ oil GX-N and ferulic acid on damaged hair and found that rice germ oil GX-N improved hair characteristics after bleaching, UV, and heat exposure, but adding ferulic acid did not provide extra benefits.

This study found that human hair follicle dermal papilla cells cultivated as 3D spheroids in hexanoyl glycol chitosan-coated dishes formed hair-like structures, with minoxidil enhancing growth, and successfully integrated into artificial skin models, suggesting advancements for hair loss treatments and skin restoration therapies.

This study evaluated the protective effects of a hair conditioner containing rice derivatives on natural Caucasian hair using various analysis methods and found that the conditioner, especially with rice germ oil GX-N, effectively improved hair properties even under stress conditions like irradiation.

This study introduced a novel method that uses upright structured illumination microscopy and atomic force microscopy to map the mechanical properties of thick living tissue slices, revealing the intricate mechanical heterogeneity of mouse skin and effects of preservation techniques on tissue stiffness.

This review discusses the history and development of keratin biomaterials for biomedical uses, highlighting their biological activity and biocompatibility, and provides no new research findings.

This review discusses how research on keratin biology has enhanced the understanding of epidermolysis bullosa simplex and indicates potential new therapeutic approaches, but it presents no new experimental results.

This paper reviews the evolution of skin appendages and keratin-associated proteins among amniotes, proposing a model for their genetic divergence without new experimental results.

This review summarizes the dermoscopic structures associated with infectious and inflammatory skin conditions and hair disorders in children but reports no new clinical results.

This study suggests that TGase 3 may contribute to hair fiber scaffolding by forming specific isopeptide bonds between keratin intermediate filaments and keratin-associated proteins.

This study describes a mouse model for Marie Unna Hereditary Hypotrichosis, identifying mutations in the hairless gene that result in sparse or absent hair and cyst-like hair follicles.

Lustre mutant sheep have normal hair structure and proteins but differ in felting properties.

This study reported that a newly developed hydrogel composed of recombinant type I collagen and chitosan, incorporating a metal–polyphenol structure, demonstrated strong mechanical and healing properties, effectively promoting wound healing in a full-thickness skin defect model.

This article reviews sPLA2-mediated phospholipid metabolism using sPLA2 transgenic/knockout mice and lipid mass spectrometry, offering insights into the distinct roles of sPLA2 enzymes in various biological events.

This study found that hair care products containing fermented papaya, fermented mangosteen, and caffeine significantly inhibited hair loss, increased hair density and thickness, and improved hair follicle structure in individuals with androgenic or diffuse alopecia over three months compared to placebo and caffeine controls.

This study examined argan oil inclusion complexes with β-CD, finding that these complexes improve the antibacterial efficacy, uniformity, and mechanical performance of hair treatment formulations while enhancing the durability of bleached hair, suggesting their potential as stable and effective cosmetic ingredients.

This study found that the systemic wrinkled skin phenotype in Xiang pigs involves gene expression changes and genetic variations associated with oxidative stress and extracellular matrix components, resembling features seen in Shar-Pei dogs.
