This biographical abstract highlights George Rogers' pioneering contributions to the understanding of keratin molecular structure and keratinisation biochemistry, including the application of electron microscopy to hair ultrastructure and the discovery of enzymes and gene transcription processes relevant to keratin proteins.

This report presents a rare case of trichoadenoma occurring in the vulva, adding to the limited instances documented in medical literature.

Hair disease research is a growing and evolving field in dermatology, with recent significant advances.

In this study, women with alopecia areata reported varied psychological impacts ranging from minor disturbance to significant distress and life changes due to their hair loss experiences.

This case report documents a trichofolliculoma of the upper lip in a 70-year-old woman, highlighting its clinical presentation and successful surgical removal without recurrence.

This study found that a dietary supplement improved hair strength and shine in participants with hair damage from breakage.

Keratin filaments are crucial for cell structure and protection, with ongoing discoveries about their genes and functions.

This review discusses advancements in artificial skin for wound treatment and reports no new clinical findings; the authors highlight the potential of new biomaterials to enhance future skin replacement therapies.

Caloric restriction improves skin and fur structure but can cause muscle loss and movement issues.

This review discusses various pediatric hair loss conditions and treatments, highlighting the importance of a holistic approach and noting that no single treatment is universally effective.

This mini-review discusses human hair follicle development and summarizes genetic disorders linked to abnormalities in hair follicle morphogenesis, structure, or regeneration, but reports no new experimental results.

The study concluded that fatty acid transport protein 4 in epidermal keratinocytes is crucial for maintaining normal skin structure, as its deficiency led to hyperkeratosis and epidermal barrier disruption in mice.

This study identified four new genetic loci associated with acne risk and highlighted key pathways involved in its genetic predisposition, potentially explaining 9.4% of acne's phenotypic variance.

This review summarizes recent research on the molecular properties and functions of L-PGDS and PGD2, but reports no new findings, highlighting their pathophysiological roles and guiding future studies.

This study found that sulfur mustard affects hair follicles and sebaceous glands in the skin by causing cellular damage, inflammation, and disrupting wound healing processes in hairless mice.

This study found that incorporating PCL-based nanoscaffolds into liver spheroids enhances their viability and liver-specific biofunctionality, suggesting these scaffolds improve the model's potential for preclinical drug screening by increasing sensitivity to acetaminophen toxicity compared to traditional methods.

The researchers reported that keratin 33A is a structural protein specific to goat cashmere hair, with increased winter expression in high-cashmere-producing breeds.

This review examines rodent models to explore how maternal conditions like undernutrition, obesity, hypoxia, and androgen exposure affect fetal programming and metabolic outcomes in offspring, but presents no new clinical findings.

This review explores the immunological aspects of epidermal differentiation in loricrin knockout mice, offering insights into keratinization and potential intrinsic factors affecting immune function, but provides no new clinical findings.

This study found that long-lived proteins in mice, identified across various tissues, may be linked to neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases due to their low renewal rate and increased risk of damage.

This study identified 8-hydroxy germacrene B from Curcuma aeruginosa as a highly potent in-vitro 5-alpha reductase inhibitor with significant anti-androgenic activity, while exhibiting mild cytotoxicity on prostate cancer cells without affecting human dermal papilla cells at tested concentrations.

In this study, researchers used an evolutionary-rate-based method to identify genetic elements associated with reduced hair in mammals, finding a dichotomy between accelerated coding sequences and noncoding regulatory elements influencing hair growth.

This study observed that patients with paediatric-onset chronic hepatobiliary disease face a substantial health-care burden, highlighting challenges in transitioning this diverse group to adult care services.

This review highlights that bicalutamide, a non-steroidal antiandrogen used in prostate cancer treatment, is mainly effective through its (R)-enantiomer and emphasizes the need to monitor its adverse effects despite its targeted antiandrogenic action.

This study found that scalp cooling resulted in visible hair retention in 53% of breast cancer patients undergoing Epirubicin/Cyclophosphamide and Paclitaxel treatment, with factors like hair bulb diameter, shaft diameter, and anagen rate significantly predicting outcomes.

This study observed that lower serum zinc levels in patients with chronic liver disease were linked to a higher prevalence of symptoms like dermatitis, taste disorder, and alopecia, suggesting these symptoms may be associated with zinc deficiency.

The document concludes that careful history and physical exams are crucial for accurately diagnosing polycystic ovary syndrome and distinguishing it from other similar conditions.

This study found that knocking out the transactivation domain of Miz1 in mouse keratinocytes disrupted hair follicle orientation, caused irregular pigmentation, and increased keratinocyte proliferation, indicating Miz1's role in hair follicle development and morphogenesis.

This study discusses how beauty standards contribute to structural injustice by imposing rising demands and increasing body image anxiety across various demographics.
