This review discusses the potential and limitations of using hair cortisol as a measure of chronic stress, noting that its effectiveness depends on recognizing patterns rather than absolute cortisol levels.

This study suggests that BLMP-1 is important for timely molting and oscillatory gene expression in C. elegans, indicating a potentially conserved mechanism for rhythmic skin regeneration.

This study developed and validated a method for measuring stress biomarkers in hair during pregnancy, finding that glucocorticoid levels increased over trimesters while endocannabinoid levels remained constant, suggesting hair analysis as a reliable tool for monitoring stress responses in pregnant women.

This paper examines factors affecting the stretching setting treatment of human hair and wool, concluding that the intended outcomes can be achieved using their customized testing equipment and technology.

This study developed a handheld card to simplify the calculation of the SALT score for assessing alopecia areata severity, noting that while it accelerates the process, formal validation against existing methods is still needed.

This study introduced a new spectrofluorometric method using a synthesized organic fluorophore to effectively analyze darolutamide and thalidomide in pharmaceutical preparations and biofluids.

This study found that the Brigham Eyelash Tool for Alopecia (BELA) is a reliable measure for assessing eyelash loss in alopecia areata patients, demonstrating high inter- and intrarater reliability.

This study introduces a modular fiber model to investigate how changes in microstructural properties of wool affect its critical buckling load, highlighting potential uses and areas needing further research in wool fiber biophysics.

In this study, Scalp Immersion Proxigraphy (SIP) was shown to produce more accurate measurements of linear hair growth rate than crude phototrichogram techniques, suggesting SIP's suitability for clinical trials monitoring hair growth.

Using an ultrasonic liposuction machine with different cannula sizes and power settings does not change water temperature.

This study explores various tests that can be performed during teledermatology visits, such as self-conducted pull tests and ponytail thickness measurements, along with imaging tools, to assess hair loss virtually.

In this research, RNA expression analysis of scalp biopsies from lichen planopilaris patients revealed changes in specific genes after treatments with hydroxychloroquine, narrow band UVB, or low level laser light therapy, suggesting potential biomarkers and implicating M2 macrophages in the disease's immunopathogenesis.

Hair can show daily calcium changes, linked to body calcium levels and influenced by hormones, and can help assess calcium metabolism issues.

Researchers developed a quick and sensitive way to measure finasteride in blood using a small sample size.

This study found that the genes MYLK and CALD1 were expressed at lower levels in bladder cancer and osteosarcoma tissues compared to normal tissues, and their expression levels appeared to correlate with poorer survival outcomes, suggesting they may be important in disease progression and prognosis.

This study described a potentiometric titration method for determining minoxidil, which showed recoveries of 97.4 to 98.7% and agreed with chromatographic results within a 90% confidence level.

This study presents a new survey instrument that was cognitively tested for understanding menstrual cycle characteristics and androgen excess, including hirsutism, alopecia, and acne.

The ProScope HR is an effective, user-friendly, and affordable tool for diagnosing hair loss.

This study highlights emerging research on lactate's biological roles in skin health, emphasizing its function as a signaling molecule that regulates skin barrier and immunity, and notes its therapeutic potential for skin conditions such as tumors and inflammatory diseases.

This paper outlines the research plan and current progress of a study analyzing mineral metabolism changes in astronauts by examining hair shafts after long-term space flight, with no new results yet.

This study demonstrates that spatially resolved IR and Raman imaging can effectively reveal the molecular structure and composition of untreated human hair, providing insights into its chemistry and structural integrity.

This study described a new assay for measuring cortisol in hair and found it may serve as a useful biomarker for long-term cortisol exposure, correlating with 24-hour urine cortisol levels in non-obese subjects.

This paper reviews how hair conditioners work, primarily by reducing combing forces through lubrication, and reports no new clinical findings.

The study reported that mice receiving dynamized Melatonin 6 cH and Lissotriton 6 cH for 14 days exhibited improved coat health and increased endurance in forced swimming tests, with Melatonin-treated mice swimming 2.5 times longer and Lissotriton-treated mice 4 times longer than controls.

This study developed a fast and sensitive ultra-high performance liquid chromatography method to quantify ketoconazole in antidandruff emulsions, showing comparable results to labeled concentrations.

This study proposes that the terminal tuft structure in sensory nerve endings, involving Schwann cell processes and axon fingers, potentially plays a role in mechano-electric transduction in rats.

This study developed a novel system that can automatically estimate hair loss parameters from images without expert input, reporting satisfactory results from testing on samples collected in Kolkata.
