This study found that line-field confocal optical coherence tomography effectively visualized microscopic alterations in alopecia areata, suggesting its potential use in diagnosis and monitoring.

In this study, a system was developed utilizing advanced image processing to analyze hair and scalp conditions, aiding professionals in diagnosing diseases like alopecia and monitoring treatment by extracting and comparing key parameters from microscopic images.

This review discusses potential causes of alopecia and hair overgrowth in pediatric patients, detailing diagnostic techniques and treatments, but presents no new research findings.

In this study, researchers at the Laboratory of Regenerative Medicine WUM are exploring the long-term effects of SARS-CoV-19 infection, focusing on stem cell mobilization and engraftment processes, and utilizing advanced diagnostic techniques to develop algorithms for rare disease classification, including amyloidosis.

This study reported a case of equine ringworm infection in a 2-year-old horse caused by Nannizzia gypsea, confirmed through culture and SYBR-Green real-time PCR techniques, demonstrating that qPCR allows specific detection of dermatophytes more rapidly than conventional methods.

This study systematically characterized the nanomechanical properties of human hair, such as hardness and elastic modulus, across different ethnicities and treatment conditions using nanoindentation and scanning electron microscopy.

This study reported a new method enabling the observation of the full leg regeneration process in the crustacean *Parhyale hawaiensis* over 10 days, capturing cellular resolution while minimizing photodamage, through innovative imaging techniques and computer-assisted cell tracking.

This review found that microneedling can stimulate various biological pathways to promote tissue remodeling, enhance skin regeneration, and benefit conditions like wound healing and skin rejuvenation, with emerging uses in targeted drug delivery and periodontal therapy.

Human hair's structure makes it tough and resistant to breaking.

In this study, researchers found that chemical treatments like bleaching can cause severe damage to the hair cuticle, with previously modified hair showing complete deterioration compared to the partial degradation seen in virgin hair, highlighting the need for mindful cosmetic practices.

This review discusses recent advances in biomedical imaging for cancer research, particularly highlighting improved imaging tools for studying solid tissue malignancies, and reports no new clinical results.

Pili annulati is caused by a protein metabolism disorder affecting hair structure.

In this study, researchers observed that mice with the naked gene showed frequent absence of hair cuticle and cortical cells during follicle growth, with abnormal keratin deposition also noted.

This study found that elastic fibre arrangements in the skin of domesticated mammals vary with hair density, with densely-haired species having horizontal fibres and sparsely-haired ones exhibiting a sponge-like system.

This study found that exposure to Prussian Blue caused significant detachment of cuticle segments from the hair shaft in both new and aged human hairs.

This study found that low power red laser therapy, combined with antiretroviral drug efavirenz, significantly reduces HIV-1 infection in TZM-bl cells to undetectable levels.

This study examined the unique structural features of sinus hair follicles in the shrew Sorex unguiculatus, which suggest a specialization for vibration sensing.

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 review discusses the challenges and potential solutions in studying Demodex mites and their possible pathogenic role in human skin disorders but reports no new findings.

This study found that the twisted hair shafts characteristic of pili torti may result from uneven outer root sheath cell development, leading to irregular hair shaft modeling and twisting.

This study found that chemically treated hair, particularly when subjected to both acid straightening and bleaching, experiences more significant structural damage when exposed to heat, highlighting key changes in both the internal and surface components of hair fibers.

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 observed that rhino mice exhibit significant ductal hyperkeratinization in the meibomian gland, which may represent the first naturally occurring disorder of this gland in mice.

This study found that when human hair follicles are immersed in hydrogen peroxide, the resulting oxygen bubbles indicate catalase activity, and their absence may suggest tissue death.

In this study, researchers found that hair follicle-like structures can be generated from collagen/chitosan porous scaffolds implanted with mouse hair follicle cells in vitro.

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.

In this study, researchers identified exosomal miR-199a-3p as a key factor in the regulation of melanogenesis by dermal papilla cells, finding that it enhances melanocyte proliferation and melanin production, suggesting potential therapeutic targets for pigmentation disorders.
