This review revisits hair-thread tourniquet syndrome, highlighting the importance of prompt diagnosis and treatment by removing the constricting hair or similar substance to prevent damage to affected body parts, aiming to raise healthcare professionals' awareness for better prevention and management.

This study found that permanent waving treatment partially disrupts the α-helical structure in human hair microfibrils, primarily during the initial reduction phase, rather than just affecting disulphide bonds.

The study found that pili bifurcati causes hair to intermittently split into two branches, each with its own outer layer.

This study found that overexpression and knockdown of DKK4 influence genes involved in hair follicle growth and development in Angora rabbits and identified specific SNPs in DKK4 associated with wool quality, notably showing that the TT/GG haplotype combination relates to higher fibre diameters.

This study examined developing hair cortex with electron microscopy and found that keratin fibrils form between specific regions in hair follicles and aggregate into twisted cables.

This study presents the first detailed 3D models of the complete K1/K10 keratin dimer and identifies structural features and interactions that may inform understanding of keratin filament assembly.

In this study, brindled mutant mice with clinical features similar to kinky hair syndrome showed marked improvement and prevention of neuronal degeneration after receiving cupric chloride injections, with timing of administration being crucial.

This report describes a case of a man developing hair changes, including Beau's lines and Pohl-Pinkus constrictions, following ABVD chemotherapy.

This article describes two cases of plica neuropathica, a rare hair condition involving severe matting, and discusses possible contributing factors and diagnosis methods while reporting no new scientific results.

This study suggests that pili annulati is likely more common than traditionally thought, highlighting the importance of recognizing its characteristic clinical and trichoscopic features for accurate diagnosis.

This study examined hair from a mixed-heritage family and suggested that variations in pigment formation significantly influence hair form, including the occurrence of twist-knots.

In this study, researchers identified the c.296C>T (p.T99I) variant in the KRT32 gene, which co-segregates with loose anagen hair syndrome, and found it decreases binding affinity to KRT82, potentially weakening hair anchorage.

This report describes two cases of hair tourniquet syndrome involving the thumb and toe, which were successfully treated without complications.

This article reviews hair-thread tourniquet syndrome, discussing its demographics, causes, and current treatment methods, but presents no new clinical findings.

Chemical hair straightening may be linked to a type of permanent hair loss.

This narrative review discusses the advantages of bidirectional barbed sutures in wound closure, such as faster placement and no need for knots, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, researchers developed a method using stencils to create controlled stiffness gradients in alginate hydrogels, revealing that stiffer regions within the gels promote deeper invasion by breast cancer cells, facilitating the study of mechanosensitive cellular behaviors.

This review discusses the genetic origins of autosomal recessive woolly hair with hypotrichosis and reports no clinical results; it highlights the link to homozygous variants in the K25 keratin gene.

This study found that K6a expression in mouse sebaceous gland ducts correlates with Hedgehog signaling, suggesting a role in duct fate.

This review discusses the development and impact of barbed sutures on surgical outcomes across various procedures but reports no new clinical results.

This paper offers detailed tables of genotypic and phenotypic data on horses, including markers, variants, and haplotypes, but reports no new research results.

This case report describes a 4-month-old infant with hair tourniquet syndrome affecting her toes, where prompt removal of the constricting hairs led to rapid recovery without tissue damage.

This article reviews acute and prophylactic treatments for cluster headaches, highlighting sumatriptan injections, oxygen therapy, and verapamil as effective options, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that cyclophosphamide induced significant keratinocyte apoptosis in anagen hair follicles of mice, while topical calcitriol-analogs reduced this apoptosis, suggesting a protective effect against chemotherapy-induced alopecia.

This article reviews various self-aggressive hair disorders such as trichotillomania and emphasizes the psychiatric aspects of these conditions, but reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of hair shaft disorders and suggests diagnostic tools like trichoscopy and light microscopy, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that continuous implantation of melatonin in cashmere goats advanced the growth cycle of cashmere by inducing secondary hair follicle development and altering gene expression.

The authors concluded that trichoscopy is a valuable noninvasive tool for diagnosing and monitoring nonscarring alopecia, aiding in the identification of new hair signs in difficult cases.

This study reports a case where a 13-year-old boy's hair texture changed to resemble his early childhood hair after regrowth from alopecia areata, with potential causes remaining uncertain.

This review reported that certain systemic drugs, including antiepileptics and anticancer drugs, can lead to changes in hair pigmentation, such as hypopigmentation or hyperpigmentation, with varied prevalence and clinical characteristics.
