This study found that amphetamine was preferentially incorporated into black hair compared to white hair in Long-Evans rats, suggesting a role for drug basicity in hair color-based drug incorporation.

This review highlights how forensic drug analysis in hair using modern instrumental techniques offers advantages such as easy sample collection and chronological tracking of drug use, emphasizing its value for law enforcement and other applications.

This study observed that unpigmented keratinocytes saturate quickly with foreign substance uptake compared to pigmented melanocytes, where melanin significantly enhances binding.

This study found that pure linoleate deficiency in rats caused significant reductions in the accumulation of n-6 polyunsaturates and mild symptoms like growth retardation, compared to classical essential fatty acid deficiency.

This study demonstrated that dominant mutations in mouse gasdermin A3 disrupt mitochondrial oxidative stress regulation, suggesting a gain-of-function effect on epidermal differentiation.

This case report describes two patients with trichotillomania who were successfully treated with N-acetylcysteine, suggesting it as a potential new management option, though further studies are needed.

In this study, researchers developed thermoresponsive nanogels that effectively penetrate hair follicles and release a model drug when triggered by temperature, demonstrating greater penetration for medium to large nanogels (300–500 nm) compared to smaller ones.

This study observed that N-palmitoylethanolamine (PEA) may relieve pain by enhancing de novo neurosteroid synthesis, evidenced by increased allopregnanolone levels and protein expression in pain models, dependent on PPAR-α.

This study found that the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine attenuated ferroptosis in the uterus and placenta of a PCOS-like rat model, indicating its potential as a therapeutic strategy for PCOS-related complications.

In this case report, a patient with trichotillomania showed a significant positive response to treatment with N-acetylcysteine, suggesting its potential effectiveness for this disorder according to the authors’ observations.

This study found that conditional knockout of N-WASP in keratinocytes of mice led to skin barrier defects, increased immune cell infiltration, and hyperproliferation of keratinocytes, indicating its crucial role in skin homeostasis.

This study established a mouse model for Cushing's syndrome due to a specific Crh mutation, which may help explore the effects of glucocorticoid excess and evaluate treatments for corticosteroid-induced osteoporosis.

This study identified N-acyl arylsulfonamides, particularly N-(Boc-piperidine-4-carbonyl)-benzenesulfonamides, as steroid sulfatase inhibitors with improved cellular potency compared to previous compounds.

This study found that N-acetyl-glucosamine-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers showed promise for skin lightening in healthy volunteers by reducing melanin distribution.

This study found that A(3)B(5) downregulates melanin production and suppresses melanoma cell growth by promoting proteasomal degradation of TRP-2.

This study found that the n-hexane fraction from Leea indica leaves significantly increased hair growth in mice and showed potential as a natural treatment for alopecia.

In this study of Han Chinese women, the mitochondrial DNA N haplogroup was associated with a higher risk of late-onset systemic lupus erythematosus and its specific manifestations, such as skin impairment and neurological disturbances.

This study identified the same N-terminal and C-terminal amino acids in human and horse hair as previously found in wool and feather keratin.

This study found that among 17 beta-(N-ureylene-N,N'-disubstituted)-4-azasteroids, those with an N'-phenyl moiety were the most effective inhibitors of human type I 5 alpha-reductase.

This study found that Wera leaf extract, particularly its n-hexane fraction, significantly stimulated hair growth, suggesting its potential as an antialopecia treatment.

This review summarizes the potential of N-acetyl-cysteine in managing diseases linked to redox imbalance, discussing its effects from cellular mechanisms to clinical applications, though further research is suggested for broader use.

Researchers made two new compounds that could be used for medicine.

In this report, an 18-year-old female with trichotillomania was successfully treated using the glutamate modulator n-acetylcysteine.

This study found that methyl nonanoate and methyl caprate significantly enhanced the skin penetration of minoxidil compared to solutions with other common enhancers like Azone, DMSO, or DEET.

This study demonstrates that the amino-terminally shortened KGF-1 variant with 135 residues maintains biological activity, suggesting it may serve as an alternative to the original KGF-1 for certain therapeutic applications.

This paper describes the synthesis of (16S,20S)-3β-hydroxy-5α-pregnane-20,16-carbolactam from tigogenin without presenting new experimental results.

This study found that N-acetylcysteine was as effective as metformin in improving insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome parameters in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, with fewer side effects.

This review discusses the essential role of linoleic acid in preventing deficiency symptoms and enhancing skin function, but notes that scientific knowledge on its potential therapeutic use for skin diseases remains limited.

This study found that a topical formulation containing DMG-Na significantly improved hair loss parameters in people experiencing hair loss, suggesting its potential effectiveness for such conditions.

In this study, researchers observed that dandruff involves altered keratinocyte activity and a low-grade inflammatory response characterized by increased interleukin-17-producing T-cells and CCL17 levels, but without significant changes in immune cell populations or skin barrier lipids.
