This study found that alkylation of kerateine cysteine residues created a cell-compatible method for controlling hydrogel erosion rates and therapeutic agent release in keratin-based systems.

This study reports isolated clitoral hood hair-thread tourniquet syndrome, highlighting the importance of suspicion in females with prominent clitoral hood and genital pain to facilitate timely intervention and tissue preservation.

This study found that keratin intermediate filaments in the hair of GAN patients are altered, showing decreased diffraction signals and increased stiffness, strength, and extensibility.

This study found that kinematic alignment in total knee arthroplasty leads to a higher proportion of patients requiring smaller femoral components compared to traditional mechanical alignment, with statistical significance observed in femoral sizing differences between the two groups.

This study reports that hypotrichosis congenita in Hereford cattle is associated with a KRT71 mutation, leading to color dilution follicular dysplasia.

This study found that the X-ray patterns of stretched mammalian hair (β-keratin) are similar to those of natural silk (fibrion), suggesting a similar elastic mechanism involving reversible intra-molecular transformations.

This case report and review discuss hair-thread tourniquet syndrome in a 14-year-old autistic child, highlighting its rarity and the misconception of it being linked to abuse or socio-cultural practices.

This case report highlights a rare presentation of hair-thread tourniquet syndrome in a two-year-old child, emphasizing that prompt identification and removal of the constricting fiber is crucial for successful treatment and prevention of tissue damage.

This report documents a novel alanine to valine substitution in the GJB2 gene in a Japanese girl with severe keratitis–ichthyosis–deafness syndrome, suggesting a potential link to her severe recurrent infections and immunodeficiency.

This report describes a classic case of bubble hair, an acquired hair shaft abnormality, in a 22-year-old woman after using a hot iron on wet hair.

This model study describes how interactions between hair keratin and various materials alter hair's physical and mechanical properties by affecting noncovalent bonds.

This article discusses the ongoing debates among hair restoration surgeons on incision methods and presents no new research findings.

In this article, two case studies of hair tourniquets around digits are discussed, highlighting the condition's potential causes and management strategies, and emphasizing the role of midwives and health visitors in educating expectant mothers to minimize the risk to children.

This article describes a new method for staining hair fibers that visualizes keratin filaments without the need for OsO4 fixation or sulfur bond breakage, but it provides no new experimental results beyond the method itself.

This report describes two cases of tinea capitis in young siblings, with cultures showing M. canis and Rhodotorulla, and notes improvement after treatment with ketoconazole lotion and shampoo for two months.

This study demonstrates that polarized second harmonic generation imaging effectively monitors wool fiber stretching, revealing significant structural changes in keratin alignment that improve textile performance.

This study identified a new gene involved in woolly hair by linking a homozygous variant in KRT25 to autosomal recessive woolly hair in two Pakistani families.

The hair care routine effectively improved scalp health and reduced fungus in children with kinky hair.

This case report describes an instance of hair thread tourniquet syndrome in an infant, successfully treated through surgical release of the constricting hair.

This article discusses traction alopecia in children and adolescents, emphasizing its occurrence due to hairstyles that exert chronic tension on hair, but reports no new findings.

This study found that in Arabidopsis root hairs, oscillating cytoplasmic potassium dynamics precede growth oscillations, suggesting a complex interplay with calcium signaling and microfilament structure in regulating root hair growth.

This study found that in participants with notalgia paresthetica, 8 weeks of treatment with difelikefalin significantly improved itch intensity and increased the rate of strict complete response compared to placebo, starting as early as week 3.

Hair feels different when touched and rubs together in various ways.

This study hypothesizes that the curling of hair may result from the contraction of the Arrector Pili Muscle, contributing to the diverse types of curly hair.

In this study, a curved nonrotary punch was found to achieve the lowest follicular unit transection rates of less than 5% compared to conventional rotary punches in hair transplantation for patients with tightly curled Afro-textured hair.

Human hair keratin has a 40% α-helix structure that changes to a random coil in 8 M urea.

This study hypothesizes that curly hair is shaped by the contraction of the Arrector Pili Muscle within the follicle, potentially modifiable through muscle-relaxing treatments, but further research is needed to confirm this mechanism.

This study found that VE-cadherin and Alk1, traditionally linked to vascular functions, also play crucial roles in maintaining nerve homeostasis in mice during hair growth cycles by modulating certain cell populations.
