This pilot study explored a new method using laser-capture microdissection and 16S rRNA gene sequencing to analyze the human scalp hair follicle microbiome more accurately, revealing region-specific variations in microbial diversity and abundance.

This study developed microfluidics-based 3D microtumors to model minimal residual disease in ovarian cancer, highlighting their alignment with patient-derived MRD and response to a fatty acid oxidation inhibitor.

This study found that an extracellular calcium binding site gradient exists in mouse vibrissa and human scalp follicles, but is not significantly affected by hair growth-altering drugs or epidermal growth factor.

This study suggests that newly developed micro-pigment-encapsulated biodegradable microneedles accurately implant pigments in pig cadaver skin, potentially advancing scalp micro-pigmentation methods.

This commentary discusses the use of microscopes in hair restoration surgery but provides no specific results or new insights.

This study suggests that mechanical stress may influence androgenic alopecia patterning through a stretch-induced and androgen-mediated mechanotransduction mechanism in dermal papilla cells.

This study presents a novel in vitro assay using human folliculoid microspheres to research hair growth, which may facilitate preclinical testing of hair growth-modulatory agents.

This literature review conducted a comprehensive analysis of existing studies on micro-needling mesotherapy in dermatology and aims to offer a practical guide for its clinical application, though it provides no new experimental findings.

In this study, miR-31 was found to play a significant role in hair cycle regulation in mice by controlling key gene expressions involved in hair growth and differentiation.

This study found that hair follicle stem cells are stiff with high actomyosin contractility, while hair germ progenitors are soft and enlarge during quiescence, influencing hair regeneration; inducing miR-205 reduces contractility and activates regeneration in mice.

In this study, researchers developed a microfluidics-based method to generate hair follicle germs on a large scale for potential hair regeneration therapies, demonstrating efficient hair follicle regeneration following transplantation into mice.

This study found that miR-22 regulates hair loss in mice by causing premature regression of hair follicles and suggests the importance of the microRNA regulatory network in understanding hair cycling and loss.

This study found that slow vitrification using DMSO for cryopreserving hair follicle germs in mouse skin showed effective hair regeneration, making it a promising method for hair regenerative medicine.

This study developed a double-wavelength laser scanning microphotometer to measure hair shaft and follicle absorbance, improving spatial resolution and reducing light scattering effects in vitro.

In this study, radiofrequency microporation significantly improved topical minoxidil delivery and hair regrowth in a mouse model of androgenetic alopecia, with minimal systemic exposure compared to oral administration, suggesting it could be a promising needle-free option for topical therapy.

This study found that LGR5 may play a significant role in maintaining brain cancer stem-like cells and is associated with glioma progression and poor outcomes.

This study proposes using superhydrophobic surfaces to reduce protein fouling and enable self-cleaning in microfluidic devices, detailing preparation and quantification methods for these coatings.

In this study, researchers observed that pregnant women who were overweight or obese before pregnancy had lower iron concentrations in serum and hair, as well as lower dietary iron intake, during their first trimester compared to women with normal body weight.

This study found that placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells overexpressing PRL-1 inhibited adipogenesis in orbital fibroblasts from Graves’ ophthalmopathy patients by modulating specific signaling pathways, suggesting a potential therapeutic strategy.

This study found that microspicule cosmetics with low-molecular-weight peptide complexes significantly improved skin whitening, pore condition, and skin barrier function over four weeks compared to a non-microspicule formulation.

This study found that scalp thickness and hair follicle depth were reduced in individuals with androgenetic alopecia, and MRI signal intensity was higher compared to those without the condition.

This study reports that the loss of the protein Memo in mice leads to a reduced lifespan and suggests that Memo is a key regulator of FGFR signaling and vitamin D production.

This article reviews microneedle technology as a transdermal drug delivery platform without presenting new clinical results, emphasizing its engineered microstructure arrays for enhanced penetration.

This study found that applying controlled hypobaric stress to the skin significantly improved the in vitro and in vivo penetration of macromolecules, facilitating enhanced drug delivery.

This study revealed that basement membrane dynamics are crucial to hair follicle development, influencing progenitor cell behavior and cell division patterns in developing mouse hair follicles.

In this study, the authors found that applying hypobaric pressure to the skin significantly increases the transdermal permeation of large molecules by enhancing diffusion, despite the associated skin stretching and hair follicle enlargement not fully explaining this effect.

This study used air wedge interferometry to measure the thickness of human scalp hair from three individuals, finding average thicknesses of 66.482 µm, 59.355 µm, and 59.927 µm respectively, within the typical range for adults.

Low-frequency electromagnetic fields may help treat hair loss by promoting hair regrowth.
