The study reported that Demodex musculi infestation was notably higher in immunodeficient mice, while infested immunocompetent mice, particularly the BALB/c strain, showed increased IgE levels and developed alopecia over time.

This study introduced a tabletop optical microscopy technique to measure the biomagnetic field reach of human hair follicles using Prussian Blue Stain with iron particles.

This study observed that testosterone concentrations in hair segments show some stability over time, but are influenced by factors like sebum integration, hair washing frequency, and individual hair growth rates.

This study found that a new 3D image analysis method from SEM images enables quick and accurate measurement of cuticle scale heights in hair fibers.

This study describes a new method using ImageJ to quantitatively assess hair loss in mice with alopecia areata, offering a more precise and reproducible alternative to traditional visual scoring systems by employing image-based analysis techniques.

This study found that a modest increase in dietary zinc over six months resulted in a detectable increase in sulfur and zinc counts in individual hairs, suggesting a non-invasive method to monitor zinc intake effects.

In this study, researchers developed a non-invasive, partially automated protocol for extracting DNA from marmoset hair follicles, resulting in high-quality whole genome sequencing with low chimerism levels, making it a reliable method compared to blood DNA sequencing in these primates.

In this study, human scalp hair grafted onto nude mice accurately reflected methyl mercury exposure, demonstrating its potential as a research model for monitoring mercury incorporation into human hair.

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

This study reported that Trichoscan, a computer-assisted hair measurement system, was not supported as accurate for clinical trials due to errors in signal detection, despite its analysis speed.

This study concluded that combining vertical and transverse sections of scalp biopsy specimens improves diagnostic yield for certain hair disorders without increasing costs.

This mini-review summarizes the Trichoscan as a sensitive tool for measuring hair growth parameters, demonstrating its effectiveness in detecting treatment response in androgenetic alopecia but noting some practical limitations.

This article critically assesses literature favoring horizontal over vertical sections for diagnosing scalp diseases and concludes that a qualitative, vertical approach improves diagnostic precision for alopecias.

Three new techniques simplify and improve the preparation of tissue samples for skin cancer surgery.

In this study, the researchers found that a manual micrometer caliper is a reliable tool for planning hair transplant surgery and accurately measures the short axis of the hair shaft.

In this study, researchers developed an electrochemical method using gold nanostructures on a glassy carbon electrode to detect minoxidil levels in hair lotions, and found it effectively quantified minoxidil in commercial products, revealing discrepancies in their labeled versus actual concentrations.

This study found that the TrichoScan effectively measures hair growth changes, showing significant increases in hair counts and thickness in men with androgenetic alopecia after 6 months of using 5% minoxidil solution.

This study identified candidate compounds from a natural-product library that may interact with the PIEZO1 and MLCK pathways, potentially countering a non-androgen cause of hair follicle miniaturization, all based on computer simulations; experimental validation is necessary.

This study found that an enzymatic method effectively identified chemical treatments like perming and dyeing by detecting higher degradation in treated hair compared to untreated hair.

This study demonstrates a sample preparation method for wool follicles that allows for clear keratin labeling and ultrastructural preservation in microscopy, reducing common artefacts from conventional fixation techniques.

The method accurately measures hair growth with minimal risk and is better than other methods.

This study developed a novel LC-ESI-MS/MS method to quantify Minoxidil in pharmaceutical forms, finding it precise, accurate, and robust. It withstands excipient and degradant interference, although Minoxidil degrades under some stress conditions but remains stable thermally.

This correspondence describes the dermoscopic features of an osteonevus of Nanta but does not report new clinical findings.

Dermoscopy quickly and accurately diagnosed a rare hair disorder in a 12-year-old girl.

This study introduced a novel method that uses upright structured illumination microscopy and atomic force microscopy to map the mechanical properties of thick living tissue slices, revealing the intricate mechanical heterogeneity of mouse skin and effects of preservation techniques on tissue stiffness.

TrichoScan accurately measures hair growth and loss, showing increased hair counts and thickness with treatment.

This study developed a testosterone-induced androgenetic alopecia model in BALB/c mice, finding that a 0.075 ml testosterone injection best replicated the dermal and hair follicle conditions of AGA patients, providing a promising tool for future drug testing and research into AGA therapies.

This study suggests that using trichotillometry to establish the normal range of shear strain for different hair types could inform diagnostic and treatment decisions for various hair conditions.

This review discusses the critical parameters for MALDI IMS sample preparation in skin analysis and highlights its applications in wound healing, neoplasia, and infection research, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that methylene blue staining helped identify late catagen and telogen hair follicles more accurately than unstained follicles, which suggests that established telogen percentage standards may be overestimated.
