This review highlights the critical role of microRNAs in regulating hair follicle biology, significantly impacting wool and cashmere development by modulating gene expression and signaling pathways in sheep and goats.

This study found that the formation of the fibre cuticle surface in Merino sheep is similar to the epidermal stratum corneum process and not from a modified plasma membrane as previously thought.

This study found that disulfide bonds in keratin increase its strength and toughness, with some loss of α-helical structure under load, highlighting their role in trichocyte α-keratin's mechanical properties.

This article describes a method using the CUBIC protocol to clarify and visualize molecular and cellular interactions in mouse skin biopsies at single cell resolution, but does not provide new biological findings.

In this study, researchers discovered a honeycomb-like structure in the skin of spiny mice that facilitates tissue shedding and regeneration, attributed to a uniquely arranged collagen VI and influenced by spiny hair development.

This study observed unique ultrastructural changes in a 4-year-old girl with pili trianguli et canaliculi that may affect hair shaft surface characteristics due to inner root sheath alterations.

This study found statistically significant patterns in hair morphology and ultrastructure linked to biogeographic ancestry among European, African, and East Asian populations.

This paper presents a new methodology combining magnetic tweezers and traction force microscopy to study keratinocyte mechanobiology, but reports no experimental results yet.

This study introduced a tabletop optical microscopy technique to measure the biomagnetic field reach of human hair follicles using Prussian Blue Stain with iron particles.

Mice hair follicles take in the amino acid cystine.

This study found that centrosomes, unlike cilia, are essential for proper epidermal and hair follicle development in mice, with these effects being dependent on the presence of p53.

This study investigated the impact of circulating exosomes from Xinji fine-wool and small-tailed Han sheep on hair growth in mice, finding that these exosomes influenced hair follicle development and melanin synthesis, with differences noted in hair follicle and hair diameters between different exosome treatments.

This study found that human hair follicle dermal papilla cells and keratinocytes self-assembled differently in 3D spheroid co-cultures, providing insights into cell distribution and organogenesis during skin regeneration.

This study found that miR-23b and miR-133 significantly reduce mRNA and protein levels of specific target genes involved in Merino sheep hair follicle development, providing insight into molecular breeding for fine wool production.

This study found that hair-type tissues in hedgehogs show higher enrichment of immune-related genes compared to spine-type tissues, suggesting that spines evolved to protect against injuries and infections.

This study developed a co-design framework using finite element analysis to optimize bubble microneedles, achieving controlled tip separation and effective drug delivery through the skin and mucosa while maintaining insertion strength.

The researchers reported that basement membrane heterogeneity, especially laminin α5 composition, plays a critical role in distinct inter-tissue interactions and hair cycle regulation in mouse hair follicles.

This review discusses the use of hair microscopy in diagnosing hair-related conditions, highlighting techniques and common applications, but presents no new experimental results.

This study found that enlarged facial pores in women show distinct microstructural alterations, including regular keratinocyte arrangement and irregular dermo-epidermal junctions, highlighting changes in skin tension linked to pore enlargement.

This report describes a rare case of scalp kerion due to microsporosis in a Portuguese child, noting the unusual combination with other microsporid features and treatment details.

Human hair keratin has a 40% α-helix structure that changes to a random coil in 8 M urea.

This study found that dissolving microneedle array patches containing mesoporous silica nanoparticles can deliver antigen-loaded nanoparticles into mice effectively, inducing strong immune responses similar to traditional subcutaneous injection.

In this study, researchers analyzed the skin proteome of Alpine Merino sheep to identify proteins and pathways related to wool fiber diameter, finding that cyclic adenosine monophosphate and certain signaling pathways may play a role in this trait.

This study found that finite element analysis-guided design improved bubble microneedles' controlled tip separation and insertion strength, supporting effective transdermal and sublingual drug delivery.

This abstract reports no new research findings; it includes an educational image of microorganisms found in a skin biopsy.

This review discusses the design, properties, and potential applications of smart microneedles, with no new clinical results presented.

The document describes a method for preparing hair for microscopy by embedding it in plastic, cutting it, and storing it cold before imaging.

This study found that scanning electron microscopy can identify four specific hair morphology patterns in alopecia areata patients, offering a less invasive diagnostic option compared to punch biopsy.

African spiny mice can regenerate skin and hair after wounds due to specific tissue mechanics.

This study found that the spermidine analog N1-methylspermidine prolonged hair follicle growth and decreased inflammation and oxidative stress in cultured hair follicles, suggesting potential relevance for treating inflammatory scalp diseases.
