This study found that while the KRTAP gene family is unique to mammals, humans have a similar number of these hair gene types as other primates despite having less body hair.

This study suggests that human evolution involved accelerated changes in the HR gene, affecting its role in mediating postnatal hair cycling.

This study analyzed the molecular evolution and functional divergence of the Dkk gene family, finding accelerated evolution in Aves and Reptilia and identifying functional differences that may impact hair follicle development via Wnt signaling inhibition.

This paper discusses the role of the KRTAP gene family in the evolution of mammalian hair and its potential link to hair-related disorders, but reports no new research findings.

This review found that while forensic DNA phenotyping and health applications for pigmentation genetics show potential, factors like phenotype definition and population diversity present challenges to accurate genotype-to-appearance predictions.

This review highlights recent developments in nanovesicular carriers for enhancing molecule delivery into and across the skin, focusing on the design and evolution of phospholipid and non-phospholipid systems used in cosmetics and treating various skin conditions.

This review highlights recent advances in understanding how non-coding RNAs, particularly miRNAs and lncRNAs, regulate skin development and homeostasis, but reports no new clinical results.

This research suggests that hair keratins evolved from claw keratins in a hairless ancestor, with Hoxc13 controlling their expression in tetrapods, evidenced by the knockout of Hoxc13 hindering claw formation in Xenopus tropicalis frogs.

This study identified novel 4-Amino-2H-benzo[h]chromen-2-one analogs as potent androgen receptor antagonists that show strong antiproliferative activity against prostate cancer cells, suggesting them as potential lead compounds for therapy development.

In this study on rats, CBF injections demonstrated significant wound healing effects and improved recovery after skin cryoablation, similar to the effects observed with Actovegin.

This study found that compounds extracted from Cucurbita maxima seeds at 50 °C for 2 hours demonstrated significant binding affinities against breast cancer-related proteins, suggesting potential anticancer activity needing further in vitro and in vivo evaluation.

This study found that a synthetic avicequinone C analogue, 5e, was significantly more potent in inhibiting steroid 5α-reductase type 1 activity in human keratinocytes compared to the original isolated compound.

This study concluded that shikonin, a small molecule derived from herbal extract, promotes wound healing and reduces inflammation in mice by activating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

This paper reviews the evolution of skin appendages and keratin-associated proteins among amniotes, proposing a model for their genetic divergence without new experimental results.

This study suggests that the keratins found in reptile and bird skin appendages evolved independently from mammalian hair keratins, highlighting convergent evolution in these species.

In an animal study, researchers observed that a newly synthesized deoxycholic acid derivative showed similar prostate protection effects to finasteride in Wistar rats while being less toxic.

In this computational study, the researchers observed that compounds in rosemary extract showed promising interactions with proteins involved in androgenic alopecia, suggesting potential for hair growth promotion and hair loss prevention, warranting further in vitro and in vivo validation.

This review explores theories on the evolution of hair from synapsid scales and glands, proposing mechanisms supported by comparative studies, but reports no new experimental findings.

The document provides a practical guide for diagnosing and treating various types of hair loss.

This study found that the Hr gene loss and positive selection for the FGF5 gene in cetaceans likely contributed to hair loss as these animals adapted to aquatic environments.

This review highlights the application of microneedle technology as a promising advancement in psoriasis management, focusing on its roles in enhanced transdermal drug delivery and minimally invasive biomarker monitoring, while also discussing current challenges and future research directions.

Hair graying may help prevent cancer by protecting stem cells.

This study found that using a plasma hairdryer for 90 minutes caused significantly less hair damage, such as cuticle cracks or layer separation, compared to traditional hot air dryers.

This study found that dermoscopy combined with calcium fluorescent white staining effectively aided in the early diagnosis and treatment evaluation of tinea capitis by highlighting specific hair changes and fluorescent patterns associated with different dermatophyte infections in a sample of 20 patients.

This study concluded that neither basal nor ACTH-stimulated 17-OHP concentrations effectively indicate carrier status for 21-hydroxylase deficiency among Slovenian hyperandrogenic women, recommending molecular analysis of the CYP21 gene for reliable screening.

This article discusses a hypothesis on the development and evolution of scales, hairs, and feathers from fish to amniotes, based on regions of dermo-epidermal interactions in skin, but reports no new findings.

This study found that Ficus benghalensis leaf extracts reduced the activity of 5 α-reductase II and promoted hair growth in rabbits by elongating the hair follicle's anagen phase, suggesting potential for treating hair loss.
