This study found that the structure and mineral content of dromedary camel hair, specifically the medulla patterns, medulla index, and elemental composition, change with age, revealing differences among camels aged 1 year, 3-5 years, and 8-10 years.

This study found that a CLSM-based approach could semi-quantitatively assess the transdermal penetration behavior of fluorescent dyes with different lipophilicities, offering a tool for early-stage screening of compound penetration.

This study is the first to document alopecia in Guadalupe fur seals in the Northeast Pacific Ocean, finding that it may result from nutritional stress due to higher sea surface temperatures.

This study found that finasteride-loaded microemulsions using poloxamer 124 significantly enhanced skin penetration of the drug compared to a standard solution, primarily through targeting hair follicles via the transfollicular pathway, with intercluster, intercellular, and transcellular pathways contributing less.

This study used atomic force microscopy to identify significant morphological differences in hair from patients with lichen planopilaris compared to healthy controls, noting more scratches, uneven edges, and pitted scales in affected hair, which may aid future research on the condition.

In this study, researchers used atomic force microscopy to capture and analyze morphological changes in the surface of healthy hair, identifying features such as pitting and rod-shaped macro-fibrillar elements, which could inform future research on hair conditions and care.

In this study, researchers used scanning electron microscopy to analyze hair damage from 3% hydrogen peroxide and UVB radiation, observing that Caesalpinia sappan hair tonic formulations coated and interacted with the hair cuticle, potentially modifying hair fiber damage.

This review discusses in vitro methods for evaluating the effects of hair care products on hair fibers, reporting no new results; the authors emphasize the importance of selecting appropriate and accurate equipment for testing.

In this study, researchers found that exposure to PM10 significantly increased inflammation and impaired collagen synthesis in human dermal fibroblasts, suggesting PM10 contributes to skin aging through these mechanisms.

This protocol describes using two-photon laser-scanning microscopy to study hair regeneration in live mice, offering detailed imaging capabilities for observing hair follicle stem cell behavior and manipulating cellular populations.

This study proposes a new method to selectively isolate keratin-associated proteins and keratin from human hair, suggesting that KAPs may support keratin fibers in hair structure.

This study shows that environmental contamination affects mummy hair, suggesting that using it to assess ancient people's health or nutrition should be approached cautiously.

This study found that adapalene-loaded nanospheres in a hyaluronic acid gel enhanced skin penetration and were nonirritant, making them potentially suitable for treating acne on oily skin.

This study found that defective cross-linking in hair cuticles is observable in a minority of mouse hair mutants, suggesting different proteins are involved in cross-linking across cell types.

This study found that hair proteome profiling and genetically variant peptide identification in hairs remained effective after an explosive blast, indicating potential for forensic human identification despite damage.

This review discusses the causes of hair shaft abnormalities and highlights the role of cosmetic products in treating hair disorders, though it reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that mink pelts with "singe" and "red hip" defects often exhibit split hair tips and altered cuticle structures, which may contribute to their undesired metallic sheen.

In this study, an infection model using rabbits was developed for dermatophytosis by inoculating macroconidia of Microsporum species, showing that direct intradermal application effectively progressed to the skin invasion phase and highlighted the correlation between severity of symptoms and duration post-inoculation.

In this study, researchers used SEM/SDD-EDS to identify waterborne minerals like calcium and aluminum in the scalp hair cuticle of individuals using treated or untreated water for hair washing, finding that prior application of coconut oil or conditioners can prevent calcium uptake.

This study found that increasing a drug's lipophilicity and adding ethanol to the donor phase can enhance its delivery to the hair follicle, although the precise transport mechanism remains unclear.

This study presents a DNA-analytical method that can reliably identify and differentiate cashmere, fine wool, yak, and camel hair fibers in both untreated and processed samples.

This review explores new theories, diagnostic tools, and management strategies for primary cicatricial alopecia but reports no new clinical findings.

Dermoscopy is useful for many health professionals, not just dermatologists, in improving skin condition diagnoses and reducing unnecessary biopsies.

This article discusses silicon in hair loss but provides no new research findings or clinical results.

Hair shaft changes may be linked to CCCA, but their role is unclear.

This review article examines the current understanding of frontal fibrosing alopecia, noting its prevalence in different demographics and the roles of genetic and environmental factors in its pathogenesis, while highlighting that treatment approaches remain varied and lack standardization.

In this study, researchers reported that dermatoscopy effectively differentiates between various types of alopecia and scalp disorders, offering a fast, minimally invasive diagnostic method that improves the standard of care and reduces the necessity for scalp biopsies.

In this study, researchers examined juglone's potential as a restoring agent for hair keratin damaged by permanent or bleaching treatments, finding that juglone formed Michael adducts with cysteine residues, leading to a more regular hair surface as observed via IR spectroscopy and SEM analysis.

In this study, researchers found that neonate hairs have a distinct microstructure with no medulla and smaller hair follicles compared to adult hairs.

This study conducted in situ tensile loading experiments with atomic force microscopy to observe how conditioning treatments affect the tensile response of virgin, chemically damaged, and mechanically damaged Caucasian hair.
