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.

The reinforced collagen sponge helps grow normal hair in mice.

This case report on a 13-year-old boy with monilethrix observed slight improvement after a two-month trial of oral N-acetyl cysteine, but overall hair density did not improve further.

This pilot study suggests that topical cyclosporin may delay hair shedding and potentially treat alopecia, based on observations in a human scalp skin graft model on mice.

This study found that polymers significantly improved the chemical and microbial stability of steroid hormones in liposome formulations over eight weeks, with finasteride showing the highest diffusion rate.

This study concluded that bimatoprost 0.03%, applied either twice or once daily, is safe, well-tolerated, and effective in improving eyebrow fullness and darkness in individuals with eyebrow hypotrichosis.

In this study, researchers developed a mucoadhesive hydrogel ovule containing retinyl palmitate and curcumin for intravaginal use, showing controlled drug release, selectivity against cancerous HeLa cells, and non-toxicity to healthy cells, which may offer a potential treatment for cervical cancer.

This study found no significant difference in effectiveness between 0.05% desonide cream and 1.0% hydrocortisone cream for treating seborrheic dermatitis over 8 weeks, with neither causing skin atrophy.

Selective chemical epilation effectively treats tinea capitis without harmful side effects.

This study found that gelatin-resorcinol-formaldehyde caused peritoneal lesions and hair loss in rats and mice, indicating it is unsuitable for tubal occlusion and emphasizing the need for testing in multiple species before using compounds in humans.

This study reports promising preliminary results for using monoclonal antibodies to identify cashmere fibers, highlighting observed immunological differences from wool keratins.

This study presents the first detailed 3D models of the complete K1/K10 keratin dimer and identifies structural features and interactions that may inform understanding of keratin filament assembly.

In this case report, a patient with Cronkhite-Canada syndrome also had mononeuritis multiplex, and the authors suggest that an autoimmune mechanism may be involved based on steroid responsiveness and electrophysiological findings.

In this study, researchers developed a multifunctional, injectable hydrogel that adapts to irregularly shaped wounds, enhances healing, and shows potential antibacterial activity without significant toxicity, suggesting promise for treating chronic wounds.

This article reviews the advantages of emulgel as a topical drug delivery system for hydrophobic drugs but provides no new findings.

This study found that a hair-coating polyphenol complex significantly enhanced the mechanical strength, UV protection, and antistatic properties of damaged hair, suggesting potential benefits for hair treatment.

This study concluded that intramuscular administration of medium-dose cyproterone acetate with oral ethinylestradiol is highly effective in managing hirsutism, showing better response rates than high-dose oral treatment.

In this study, researchers developed an environmentally friendly hair coating from casein proteins and tannic acid, enhancing the tensile strength of virgin Asian hair by approximately 21% compared to untreated hair, while maintaining elasticity.

This study found that bulge keratinocytes in mice develop resistance to glucocorticoid treatment more slowly than interfollicular keratinocytes and do not significantly aid in repairing glucocorticoid-induced skin atrophy within five days.

This study confirmed the porcine ear skin model's effectiveness for studying nanoparticle-based drug delivery in human hair follicles, noting particle-dependent uptake and enhancement by massage.

This study observed that the thinning and structural abnormalities in monilethrix-affected hair occur at the internodes due to possible periodic dysfunction of the hair matrix, particularly in the cortex.

This study found that PHBV cocultured with epithelial and dermal cells might enhance early-stage wound healing by promoting wound closure and re-epithelization more effectively than PHBV/collagen.

In this study, researchers developed grooved microneedles made from hyaluronic acid for precise transdermal drug delivery, achieving accurate dosage with a high probability of delivery (98% or more) by using an easy-to-operate applicator for shearing force.

This study found that treating chitin from crab shells with ultrasonication at specific conditions effectively produced fine nanofibers with a high yield.

This article presents five family cases of monilethrix and reports that neither vitamins nor desquamative ointments are effective treatments, although symptoms may spontaneously regress over time.

This study identified an optimal sulfate-free and silicone-free conditioning shampoo formulation using 1% hyaluronic acid at 800 kDa, 10% acidic sophorolipid, and 1% sodium chloride, which maintains essential conditioning and cleansing properties without compromising on performance.

This study purified trichohyalin protein from pig tongue epithelium, characterizing its unique properties and structure, which may facilitate future functional research.

This study found that superficial cryotherapy significantly increased hair density and thickness in treated eyebrows compared to untreated controls after 5 months in patients with alopecia areata.
