This review highlights that obsessive-compulsive disorder and body-focused repetitive behaviors are increasingly encountered in dermatology, often going undetected, and emphasizes the role of dermatologists in early identification and interdisciplinary treatment to address both physical and psychological aspects for improved outcomes.

This study found that inducing miR-205 reduces actin contractility and stiffness in hair follicle stem cells and progenitors, stimulating hair regeneration in both young and old mice.

This review discusses how recent advances in live imaging have revealed the dynamic and adaptable nature of stem cells during various biological processes, and reports no clinical results.

This study found that the mechanical stiffening of the human hair follicle along the first millimeter is linked to changes in the keratin network architecture and composition during keratinization.

This study developed finite element models to examine skin's biomechanical properties, finding that structural heterogeneities like Rete ridges and hair follicles create distinct stress and strain patterns that may influence mechanosensation and skin integrity.

This study reports that hair regeneration in live mice involves spatially regulated stem cell divisions and requires mesenchymal interactions, observed in real-time using a novel non-invasive imaging method.

This study found that while all hair removal techniques increased axillary erythema and skin dryness, shaving caused less erythema but more dryness than plucking or waxing, without affecting post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or other skin properties.

This study found that a bioactive borosilicate glass containing Sr and Cu ions exhibited promising mechanical strength, biocompatibility, and antibacterial activity, particularly the CuSr-1 wt.% composition, suggesting potential for use in orthopedic implants and bone tissue engineering.

This study found that Par3 plays a crucial role in maintaining epidermal homeostasis by regulating Rho/actomyosin contractility and ensuring mitotic accuracy, with potential implications for other self-renewing epithelia.

This study found that neurosteroids might play a role in the neuroprotective effects of ischemic postconditioning by reducing brain infarct size and improving motor performance and memory in mice.

This study found that a newly developed supramolecular FPC hydrogel effectively promotes wound healing through its anti-inflammatory and angiogenic properties, making it a promising material for wilderness first aid due to its storage convenience, sprayability, and ability to speed up wound recovery.

This study experimentally validated Lockhart's viscoplastic framework for tip growth in Arabidopsis root hairs by demonstrating alignment with observed growth rates and estimating yield turgor pressure and cell wall viscosity, offering a methodology adaptable to other species and conditions.

In this review, researchers reported that anorexia nervosa leads to widespread medical complications across all body systems, particularly at low body weights, and these complications are primarily treated through nutritional rehabilitation with a multidisciplinary team approach.

This study found that reinforcing epoxy with short human hair fibers and glass micro-spheres improved its wear resistance, suggesting potential applications in products like brake shoes and pads.

This study found that minoxidil may protect against chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy and potentially support hair recovery and tumor suppression in mouse models.

This chapter reviews traction alopecia, discusses its clinical presentation and severity grading, and reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight controversies in its treatment and prevention strategies.

In this study, researchers observed that even a single session of hair dyeing can damage hair fibers, with significant worsening of mechanical properties and protein composition after three or more consecutive treatments, emphasizing the need to consider the cumulative impacts of dyeing on hair health.

This review discusses the development and application of multiphoton microscopy in dermatology, highlighting its advantages and potential future research directions without reporting new clinical results.

The researchers reported that a novel leave-on treatment containing caffeine, niacinamide, panthenol, dimethicone, and an acrylate polymer significantly increased the diameter and improved the mechanical properties of scalp hair fibers, suggesting it may help mitigate thinning hair.

This study observed that areola formation in mice requires exposure to pregnancy hormones and mechanical strain, beyond individual stimuli like hormonal milieu or strain alone.

This study found that the JAK1 inhibitors baricitinib and abrocitinib significantly reduced mechanical alloknesis in a murine model of atopic dermatitis, whereas the JAK2 inhibitor AZ960 had no effect.

This study found that the desmosomal protein desmoplakin is crucial for proper epidermal morphogenesis and radial intercalation in developing Xenopus embryos, affecting keratin organization and ectodermal structures.

This review discusses trichotillomania and traction alopecia, focusing on their clinical features, diagnostic criteria, and treatment options, but it reports no new research findings.

In this study, researchers observed that after mesenchymal cell division in mouse and chicken embryonic skin, elevated migration speed and persistence for 180 minutes contribute to mesenchymal dispersal and preferential recruitment to dermal condensates.

This review provides an overview of recent tissue engineering and regenerative medicine developments in Asia, highlighting significant advances, representative research achievements, and discussing future directions, without presenting new research results.

This study found that disulfide bonds in keratin increase its strength and toughness, with some loss of α-helical structure under load, highlighting their role in trichocyte α-keratin's mechanical properties.

In this study, extracting internal lipids from Caucasian hair fibers led to decreased water permeability, influenced by the fluidity of lipids.

In this study, researchers found that replacing natural aggregates with animal bones and human hair with increased microroughness may improve the mechanical strength and durability of concrete.

This study demonstrated that cryogelation of human hair keratin allows the development of 3D scaffolds with tunable properties, supporting cell adhesion and proliferation for potential biomedical applications.

This study found that the moisture content of human hair significantly influences the type of fracture under tensile loading, with low or high humidity levels leading to smooth fractures and intermediate humidity resulting in step fractures.
