This review examines around 68 plant sources from six major plant families, assessing their scientific rationale and use by the cosmeceutical industry for applications like anti-ageing and sun protection.

This study found that the contribution of the hair follicle pathway to skin permeation of chemicals can be predicted using lipophilicity, with hydrophilic chemicals showing greater permeation reduction from hair follicle plugging than lipophilic ones.

In this study, a novel electrochemical sensor using a molecularly imprinted polymer was developed for the sensitive detection of minoxidil, successfully measuring its concentration in real samples.

This study found that Schistosoma mansoni cercariae stimulate epidermal keratinocytes in mice, initiating pro-inflammatory responses and barrier repair mechanisms akin to those in wound healing.

The study concluded that poly(propylene carbonate maleate) microspheres effectively encapsulated finasteride, achieving a biphasic release with prolonged drug release over 5-6 weeks in vitro.

This study demonstrated that an engineered human skin equivalent can generate follicle-like structures resembling fetal skin, highlighting the role of the dermal compartment in directing epithelial cell fate in vitro.

This narrative review discusses the structure and functions of the skin, focusing on its barrier role, self-repair, thermoregulation, and immune functions, and reports no new experimental results.

This article provides dermatology residents with essential information on cosmetic use to help manage skin conditions and reactions, without reporting new clinical results.

This study sequenced and analyzed the goat skin transcriptome, revealing genes involved in signal transduction and cell communication that are differentially expressed during hair growth phases, providing insights for Cashmere goat breeding.

This study reports that using nanogel and layer-by-layer self-assembly to encapsulate single dermal papilla cells can form cell spheroids that regenerate hair follicles successfully in a hair follicle regeneration model.

This review discusses the potential benefits of activating NRF2 for treating hair follicle disorders linked to oxidative stress and reports no new clinical results.

This study suggests that human keratin fiber matrix has a well-defined nano-scale grainy structure rather than being amorphous, with grain size influenced by chemical treatments, temperature, humidity, and follicle-level factors.

In this study, researchers found that L-cysteine interacted electrostatically with anionic ions on the surface of keratin fibers in human hair, reducing the rate of disulfide bond disconnection at pH 9.0.

This study reported that a novel liposomal formulation, SP-bFGF-SF-LIP, enhanced bFGF stability and skin permeability, significantly improving hair follicle recovery and wound healing in a mouse model.

In this study, loss of epidermal Par3 in mice disrupted the skin barrier and affected cell differentiation and stem cell maintenance, highlighting its role in epidermal homeostasis.

This study confirmed that the novel solid lipid microparticle formulation of adapalene demonstrated follicular penetration potential and targeted particle erosion in sebum in in vitro tests.

This study found that bio-based waterborne polyurethanes derived from castor oil may offer effective hair-styling performance without skin irritation and appear to be safer for the environment compared to traditional hair sprays.

This review discusses the mechanisms of skin aging, highlighting the roles of stem/progenitor cells, genetic and environmental factors, and suggests potential for cell-based therapies, but reports no new experimental findings.

In this study, fractional laser treatment was observed to reverse age-related gene expression changes in skin and enhance dermal remodeling, further improved by multiple treatments.

This study reports that biomass activated carbon fibers derived from metaplexis japonica seed hair effectively adsorb methylene blue dye, demonstrating high capacity and rapid adsorption performance.

This review discusses the potential of microneedle arrays for drug delivery and in the cosmetic market, but reports no new clinical results; factors for commercial therapeutic use are explored.

This study found that the growth of hair ice on dead wood requires the biological activity of a winter-active fungus, specifically Exidiopsis effusa, which shapes and stabilizes the ice structures.

This article explains that skin microneedling promotes skin regeneration by creating microinjuries, which stimulate collagen and elastin production, making it effective for treating various skin issues with high effectiveness, limited side effects, and a short recovery time.

In this study, minoxidil treatment in aged mice increased elastin expression and improved aortic structure and function, suggesting its potential for arterial remodeling in aging.

This study found that topically delivering KGF-1 DNA plasmid increased epithelial thickness and skin strength, suggesting potential benefits for strengthening compromised skin.

This study found that capped mesoporous silica nanoparticles conjugated with antibodies selectively released a dye when exposed to finasteride, with low detection limits and stable performance even after storage.

This study utilized magnetic resonance imaging to noninvasively visualize and differentiate skin structures in rat skin, finding a significant correlation between MRI data and histological areas.

This study found that minoxidil inhibited lens epithelial cell migration, proliferation, and collagen secretion in vitro, suggesting it may help prevent postoperative capsular opacification.

This study found that a lacticin 3147 solid lipid nanoparticle gel demonstrated potent and sustained antimicrobial activity against S. aureus, including MRSA, in ex vivo S. aureus-infected pig skin.

This study found that nano-sized minoxidil formulations significantly increased skin penetration and follicular drug delivery for alopecia areata treatment, compared to conventional ethanol-based solutions, and demonstrated effective controlled release over six hours.
