Recognizing bamboo hair helps diagnose Netherton’s syndrome.

The researchers reported that yak hair fibers undergo macromolecular conformational changes and partial slippage of macromolecules during stretching, confirming this as the main stretching mechanism when the stretching ratio is large.

This study aimed to identify new quantitative geometric and mechanical parameters for curly and kinky hair using various microscopy and mechanical analysis methods, revealing correlations between hair fiber geometry and mechanical performance to enhance personal care product development and promote cultural inclusion.

This report discusses two pediatric cases of penile strangulation caused by maternal hair strands and emphasizes the need for swift diagnosis and treatment to prevent severe complications.

This case report describes a patient with lichen nitidus whose lesions improved following treatment with oral astemizole and topical steroids, although spontaneous resolution remains a possibility.

This paper presents a case of penile tourniquet syndrome in an 8-year-old boy caused by his mother's hair coil, highlighting its rarity beyond infancy.

This article discusses hair tourniquet syndrome, a form of penile strangulation caused by human hair often occurring postpartum, and emphasizes considering both accidental causes and the possibility of child abuse in each case.

This study identified new geometric and mechanical parameters for curly and kinky/coily hair, which may inform more effective personal care products tailored to these hair types.

This study found that Prss53-mutated rabbits exhibited curved hair and skeletal dyskinesia, suggesting a link between Prss53 loss and these traits, potentially involving disrupted calcium metabolism.

Keratin heterodimers are preferred for their specific and structural advantages.

This study suggests that the mechanical robustness of hair may be enhanced by the binding interactions of keratin-associated proteins, particularly KAP8.1, with intermediate filament proteins.

This case report describes a 4-year-old boy with Penile Hair Tourniquet Syndrome caused by a hair coil, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis in circumcised boys to prevent severe complications.

This abstract discusses Netherton Syndrome, a genetic disorder with a characteristic triad of symptoms caused by SPINK5 gene mutation, and reports no new clinical findings or treatment advances.

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 identified a novel KRT86 mutation associated with autosomal dominant monilethrix, expanding understanding of its genetic basis beyond known motifs.

In a meta-analysis of 210 hair tourniquet syndrome cases, this study reported that 44.2% involved the penis, 40.4% the toes, and 8.6% fingers, highlighting the condition's potential severity and underreporting, especially in infants and some adults with cognitive impairments.

In this study of male patients with non-curly hair, the researchers observed a significant occurrence of folliculitis nuchae linked to close haircuts and shaving, with treatment effectiveness varying by disease phase and best results seen in early stages.

This study identified a new mutation in SELH/Bc mice causing distinctive whisker and body hair abnormalities, mapped near the type I keratin cluster on chromosome 11.

This research observed that both patients and primary care physicians are hesitant to fully embrace chemoprevention for cancer due to concerns over risk identification, side effects, and a lack of definitive guidance.

This study found that the weak tensile strength of pili torti hair may result from loose keratin intermediate filaments due to abnormalities in disulfide bonds.

This study introduces the multiple papillary centres model, offering a new explanation for hair twisting by combining known hair morphology features with differential growth rates caused by dermal papillae.

This study identified a mutation in the keratin 71 gene that causes curly hair in certain rats, advancing our understanding of hair formation.

This study reported that a new two-point bending stiffness method effectively correlated with sensory assessments for hair styling gels but not for hair styling sprays, likely due to differences in polymer/hair composites.

This study identified a new genetic variant in the KRT71 gene responsible for a breed-specific form of hypotrichosis in Hereford cattle, potentially serving as a model for similar human conditions.

This study proposed a network model for the cross-linked structure of keratin-associated proteins in hair and wool fibers, suggesting notable differences between the two, potentially affecting hair fiber elasticity.

In this study, treatment with aqueous KCN selectively converted disulfide bonds to monosulfide crosslinks in hair, leading to changes in microstructural properties and rubberlike elasticity under specific laboratory conditions.

This review discusses pili torti, a rare hair shaft disorder, and reports no new clinical results; it emphasizes the need to investigate underlying conditions in affected individuals.

This study reports two cases of bubble hair deformity in young men caused by prolonged exposure to bathroom heating lamps during showers, suggesting that maintaining a safe distance from heating devices may prevent this thermal injury to hair.

This study presents recombinant human hair keratins K31 and K81, observing novel nanostructures from their self-assembly and emphasizing disulfide crosslinking's role in this process.
