This systematic review provides an in-depth evaluation of non-invasive imaging and biophysical methods for diagnosing and monitoring vitiligo, emphasizing the need for studies with larger sample sizes to verify their use in clinical practice and research.

This study found that current clinical, microscopic, and laboratory analyses did not reliably distinguish Alaskan malamutes with coat funk from normal dogs, indicating more research with larger samples is needed.

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.

This study carried out a detailed pharmacognostic and phytochemical analysis of Sphagneticola calendulacea leaves, which may help authenticate this plant used in treating inflammation and alopecia.

Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM) is a useful tool for studying how drugs interact with skin and diagnosing skin disorders, despite some limitations.

This study conducted a detailed examination of Terminalia arjuna flowers, suggesting their potential use in establishing botanical standards for identification and standardization in Ayurvedic medicine.

This study investigated the effects of ammonium thioglycolate and amino methylpropanol hair straightening followed by permanent coloring, finding significant physical and chemical changes to both the cuticle and cortex of hair fibers.

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 suggests that melatonin may have a radioprotective role against X-ray-induced skin damage in rats, as evidenced by milder injury markers in pretreated animals.

This study highlights confocal microscopy as a promising, minimally invasive tool for assessing hair morphology and internal structures, making it valuable for cosmetic hair assessments.

This study developed a quantitative measure for scoring hair surface damage from SEM images and found it accurately classified hair damage caused by explosive blasts, similar to an existing classification system.

This study found that cysteic acid generation during hair bleaching is diffusion-controlled, increasing with the square root of bleaching time, in both cuticles and cortex of human hair fibers.

This study presented a case of tinea capitis in a 4-year-old without typical symptoms and traced the infection to Microsporum canis carried by domestic cats, highlighting the need for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment, especially in households with pets.

In this study, the researchers found that the ethyl acetate fraction of Sansevieria trifasciata P. (20%) was just as effective as minoxidil (2%) in promoting hair growth in male rabbits, with notable results in hair follicle proliferation and a favorable anagen to telogen ratio.

This article describes various hair and scalp examination techniques, including noninvasive, semi-invasive, and invasive methods, noting that trichoscopy is a simple, well-accepted, noninvasive technique for evaluating hair loss patients and monitoring treatment.

This study optimized caffeine-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers for alopecia treatment, achieving enhanced skin permeation and promoting hair growth compared to a marketed formula, as shown through physiochemical evaluations and histological examination.

In this study, researchers found that using a handheld digital microscope, hair diameter was a better determinant of perceived alopecia severity in androgenetic alopecia than hair density.

In this study, Trichoscan®, reflectance confocal microscopy, and optical coherence tomography were found to be reliable noninvasive tools for measuring hair growth and follicle analysis after hair removal.

This research found that translucent keratin films absorbed more dye than opaque films, suggesting they may serve as better screening substrates for evaluating hair dye effectiveness.

This study found that Na CMC hydrogel loaded with PEG-coated silver nanoparticles demonstrated superior antibacterial and wound-healing efficacy compared to commercial silver sulfadiazine cream in a wound-healing model.

This review outlines the practical use of reflectance confocal microscopy in dermatology, detailing its applications and considerations for diagnosing various skin conditions, but reports no new findings.

This study found that proretinal nanoparticles, applied topically, are safe and effective for penetration into hair follicles, enhancing retinoid biological activity in the skin while reducing irritation compared to conventional retinal formulations.

This study found that in vivo confocal scanning laser microscopy accurately quantifies neogenic hair follicles in mice, producing results similar to histology while avoiding fixation artifacts.

The study found that a polymer treatment changes the charge on hair surfaces, making bleached hair smoother and less porous.

This study found that combining dermoscopy with reflectance confocal microscopy is more sensitive and specific than using either method alone for assessing vitiligo disease activity and treatment response. Additionally, specific characteristics observed via these techniques correlated with either good or poor treatment outcomes.

This study used confocal Raman microscopy to confirm optical similarity between human and porcine hair follicles, supporting its use in assessing trans-follicular drug delivery.

Hair movement can indicate hair quality and health.

This case report details the dermoscopic features of oral lichen planus in a young adult male, using mucoscopy to reveal a tri-colored pattern with unique structures and vascular patterns.

This study concluded that the formulated polyherbal shampoo is a chemical-free product with nourishing, conditioning, cleansing, and antimicrobial effects.

In this study, the varied phenotype of trichothiodystrophy was highlighted, with findings of distinctive hair shaft abnormalities and a wide range of multisystem issues, including neurologic and urologic disorders.
