This study reported two cases of ryzophagia among nonpregnant women in the US, with symptoms resolving after iron dextran therapy, suggesting a link with iron deficiency.

Higher hair iron levels are linked to changes in brain structure and function.

This review highlights that iron deficiency is a significant yet often overlooked contributor to the development of immune-mediated inflammatory skin diseases, suggesting that iron dysregulation may drive inflammation and metabolic imbalances in conditions like psoriasis and atopic dermatitis.

This review discusses the role of nutrients in hair graying management and finds a possible link between low copper, iron, and vitamin B12 levels and premature hair graying.

This study suggests that abnormal levels of zinc, copper, and iron in serum or hair may serve as auxiliary and prognostic tests for various skin diseases, though further research is necessary due to conflicting data.

This review highlights the critical role of iron in skin functions and suggests potential dermatologic therapies targeting the iron-skin axis.

This study reports that melanocytes form a defined photoresponsive network in the skin that reads environmental light cycles and may influence the sleep-waking cycle similar to the pineal gland.

This study observed that lower serum copper levels may be linked to premature hair graying in young patients compared to controls.

In this review, the authors summarized the potential therapeutic effects of metal ions in treating cardiovascular diseases, highlighting their roles in protecting cells, inducing angiogenesis, and adjusting ion channel functions, as well as discussing delivery strategies involving biomaterials.

This study reports that compound heterozygous loss-of-function mutations in the HEPHL1 gene in a child were associated with abnormal hair and cognitive issues, linking altered ferroxidase activity to hair disorders.

This study found that using a plasma hairdryer for 90 minutes caused significantly less hair damage, such as cuticle cracks or layer separation, compared to traditional hot air dryers.

This study presented a new method for accurately measuring Fe³⁺ in small serum samples, achieving high recovery rates and agreement with established testing methods, while offering advantages such as cost-effectiveness, simplicity, and enhanced sensitivity.

This study reported that the Fe@C/CB electrocatalyst effectively detected Metol in water samples with a low detection limit, high sensitivity, and good stability, suggesting it as a promising tool for environmental monitoring.

In this study, patients with premature graying of hair had lower levels of zinc, magnesium, and Vitamin B12 compared to healthy controls.

This study found that electron and proton microprobe analysis can reveal differences in element distribution within human hair and epidermis, although no significant water content differences were noted between atopic eczema and normal skin.

This study suggests that curcumin-loaded nanoparticles, which activate autophagy and reduce oxidative stress, showed promise in promoting hair growth in an androgenetic alopecia mouse model.

This study involving 81 yaks found significant correlations between melatonin, dihydrotestosterone, and immunoglobulin levels in blood serum and mineral content in hair, suggesting these factors may jointly influence yak hair growth and immune status, providing a potential non-invasive indicator of overall health.

In this study, polydopamine emerged as a safe and effective alternative to traditional hair dyes like PPD for dyeing gray hair permanently, showing resistance to detergents and causing less toxicity and hair loss in mice.

This study found that FucoPol hydrogel membranes can effectively deliver model drugs such as caffeine and diclofenac sodium via different loading methods, with notable mechanical and release properties, suggesting their potential as platforms for topical drug delivery.

In this study, researchers found that mangosteen pericarp extract, combined with FeSO₄ as a mordant, effectively produced a stable reddish hair dye on bleached hair, with good color persistence and enhanced tensile strength, indicating its potential as an eco-friendly and safer alternative to synthetic dyes.

This review explores the potential of metal nanoparticles as innovative treatments for alopecia, highlighting their effectiveness in promoting hair regrowth, enhancing drug delivery, and modulating gene expression while also assessing the related experimental methodologies and regulatory considerations.
