This review discusses recent advances in microfabrication and microfluidic technologies for improving the production of organoids and spheroids, but it reports no new experimental results.

This study found that using a standardized protocol with microspheres of approximately 1.5 micrometers enhances penetration into hair follicles, particularly when skin is treated with cyanoacrylate skin surface stripping.

This study observed Malassezia hyphae in the keratotic plugs of healthy individuals, which contrasts with previous findings of these hyphae primarily in lesions of pityriasis versicolor patients.

This study found that fibroblasts from highly regenerative mammals, such as spiny mice and rabbits, exhibit unique metabolic characteristics, including a preference for glycolysis and specific mitochondrial features, which may contribute to their resistance to oxidative stress and support tissue regeneration.

This study found that the fungus Microsporum gypseum enzymatically degrades keratin in human hair, with the sequence of degradation reflecting the keratinization and cystine content of individual hair components in vitro.

This study reported that newly developed quaternary ammonium chitosan/carboxymethyl starch/alginate sponges effectively inhibit bacterial growth and promote rapid hemostasis in wound management after tooth extraction in animal models, showing significant promise for clinical use in preventing complications like dry socket.

This study observed that keratin-based microspheres promoted hair regrowth in C57BL/6 male mice and enhanced hair growth markers in human dermal papilla cells, suggesting these particles may effectively target hair follicles to aid in hair growth.

In this study, researchers developed a new method for producing dissolving microneedle array patches containing mesoporous silica nanoparticles, successfully confirming nanoparticle deposition and release in both ex vivo and in vivo models.

This study achieved a first by successfully forming large quantities of dermal papilla spheroidal microtissues, which retained their hair induction potential, using a micropatterned culture system.

This paper reviews how studying the microbiome of the freshwater polyp Hydra can inform new, microbiome-targeting therapies for human hair follicle and skin diseases; it presents no new experimental findings.

This case report describes a rare instance of dermatophytosis in a young cat caused by Microsporum gypseum, confirmed by molecular analyses to be Arthroderma gypseum.

This study found that a new SIS-PEG sponge promoted rapid skin defect healing in mice and showed potential for reconstructing reconstituted skin with regenerated hair.

This study discovered two new species of mites in the hair follicles of squirrel monkeys from South America, potentially causing follicle damage due to secondary infection.

This review highlights the use of droplet microfluidics in microgel fabrication, emphasizing its ability to control microgel properties and discussing applications in areas like drug delivery and tissue engineering, as well as addressing current challenges and future research directions.

This study designed a micromold template for creating controlled-sized, multicellular tumor spheroids, finding that HEK-293 cells formed consistent spheroids with high circularity and viability after 7 days, influenced by cell seeding density and treatment conditions.

In this study, ACF sponges with 10% fucoidan significantly promoted wound healing and hair follicle regeneration in rats, showing improved hemostatic and antibacterial performance compared to other formulations.

This study found that microspicule cosmetics with low-molecular-weight peptide complexes significantly improved skin whitening, pore condition, and skin barrier function over four weeks compared to a non-microspicule formulation.

This study found that multiphoton microscopy effectively visualizes the microstructure of in vivo mouse skin, offering a clear view of various skin layers and components like corneocytes and collagen fibers.

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