The ProScope HR is an effective, user-friendly, and affordable tool for diagnosing hair loss.

This study developed a multiscale model to understand human hair fiber mechanics and found that the yield stress decreases linearly with temperature, supported by both simulations and experimental stretching of hair fibers.

This study concluded that epidermal growth factor may induce a 'catagen-like' phase in human hair follicles by disrupting normal cellular proliferation and migration patterns.

In this study, researchers found that trichothiodystrophy hair brittleness is linked to abnormalities in sulfur content and structural organization, making it prone to breakage.

This study visualized mitochondrial metabolism in cultured bovine hair follicles and plucked human hairs, finding that ROS and mitochondrial polarization correlate in specific hair follicle regions, particularly near keratin deposition sites.

This study found that Blimp1+ cells from mice can generate sebaceous gland organoids in vitro, which mimic natural gland traits and may aid in studying acne vulgaris.

This study suggests that the structure and function of the inner root sheath in mammalian hair may have evolved from simpler forms seen in monotremes, aiding in hair exit without damaging the epidermis.

This review discusses recent advances in understanding the structural hierarchy of trichocyte keratins, including their heterodimeric structure and distinct conformations impacting hair growth, with no new experimental results reported.

This report identified longitudinal grooves in the hair shafts of four children, diagnosing them with uncombable-hair syndrome.

This study highlights that Demodex mites, commonly found on human skin, can cause significant eye and skin issues such as blepharitis, rosacea, and dermatitis when present in abnormally high densities, underscoring the need for targeted management strategies.

In this review, researchers summarize the methods for characterizing telocytes, outline their physiological roles and implications in diseases, and discuss potential future studies including precise markers and targeted therapies.

Hair proteins change location and structure as hair cells mature.

Tiger tail banding and hair abnormalities are reliable indicators for diagnosing trichothiodystrophy.

In this case study of a 64-year-old woman with kerion celsi caused by Microsporum canis, treatment with the oral antifungal fosravuconazole resulted in symptom resolution without scarring or side effects over 12 weeks, suggesting its potential effectiveness for various dermatomycoses.

This article presents a protocol for using mouse tail skin to study hair follicle stem cells, enabling visualization of calcium signaling and other cellular features in various conditions but reports no new research data.

This review presents ergonomic methods and devices for follicular unit excision surgery but reports no new clinical results, emphasizing the importance of ergonomic practices for effective hair restoration procedures.

In this study, researchers found that a protein-enriched cream made from Spirulina platensis improved the physical structure of natural hair, as evidenced by more intact and smoother cuticles compared to a control cream without protein, suggesting its potential for hair care applications.

This study developed a method to culture and maintain chicken feather follicles in vitro, preserving structure and biology similar to their in vivo state, though some gene expression was altered.

This case report describes an 8-year-old boy with impetigenic scabies on his scalp, which responded well to treatment with topical permethrin, oral antihistamines, and antibiotics.

In this study, telemedicine using trichoscopy for alopecia areata patients showed high concordance with outpatient trichoscopy in image quality and similar levels of patient satisfaction, indicating its effectiveness for follow-up and continuity of care.

This study suggests a potential role for S100A7 and IL-17 in the pathogenesis of lichen planopilaris.

Capitate trichomes have more endoplasmic reticulum and vacuoles, while peltate trichomes have more plastids and larger subcuticular spaces.

This study focuses on analyzing the pharmacognostical and phytochemical properties of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis Linn. leaves, aiming to improve the identification and authenticity of this widely used medicinal plant and its applications in enhancing herbal medicine efficacy.

This study demonstrated that treating platelet-rich plasma with ozone or procaine in vitro led to distinct changes in platelet activity, significantly enhancing the release of platelet-derived factors without damaging the platelets, indicating potential for improved regenerative therapies.

This study found that in Yogyakarta, dermatophytosis in cats is primarily caused by M. canis and characterized by symptoms such as alopecia, crust, and erythema.

This study identified significant differences in medullary structure, hair length, and root diameter among dorsal guard hairs of red foxes, golden jackals, and gray wolves in Turkey.

This study identifies various phytochemicals in Thuja orientalis bark, potentially aiding its botanical identification and quality standardization.

Hair analysis can offer clues about a person, but individual differences limit making precise identifications.

This study analyzed animal hairs from 18th-century burial sites in Mazamet, France, reporting distinct hair morphologies consistent with the use of common local animal furs such as goat, badger, cow, or horse, reflecting the modest socioeconomic status of the individuals interred.

This review provides current insights into the role of Demodex mites in acne and rosacea, detailing their involvement in sebaceous gland diseases due to their potential to cause inflammation and disrupt skin microbial balance, while suggesting methods to correct mite overgrowth.
