Human hair keratin can be used in many medical applications.

This study found that the Meibomian gland shares structural and cytokeratin composition similarities with hair follicles, and plays a role in hyper-keratinisation observed in obstructive Meibomian gland dysfunction.

In this study, researchers observed that low levels of fucose-binding lectin staining characterize limbal epithelial progenitor cells, which maintain a high proliferative capacity and may be enhanced by inhibiting fucosylation, offering insights for regenerative therapy of the limbal stem cell niche.

In this study, researchers observed that rhino mice exhibit significant ductal hyperkeratinization in the meibomian gland, which may represent the first naturally occurring disorder of this gland in mice.

This study reported that dupilumab, an FDA-approved biologic, is a safe and effective first-line systemic treatment for children with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis, showing sustained skin improvement and itch reduction, with injection site reactions and conjunctivitis as potential side effects.

This article discusses a novel device for applying mediums to human and animal tissues and reports no new clinical results, focusing on its potential for precise applications and enhanced cell transplants.

This study found that murine vibrissa hair follicle stem cells can differentiate into corneal epithelial-like cells in vitro when cultured with limbus-specific microenvironmental factors.

This abstract discusses the FDA approval of Latisse (bimatoprost) for increasing eyelash growth in patients with eyelash hypotrichosis and highlights its efficacy while noting unresolved effectiveness in certain conditions and potential side effects.

This review summarizes the ophthalmic complications of common periocular aesthetic treatments but reports no new clinical findings, emphasizing the importance of recognizing potential side effects.

Laser hair reduction near the eyebrows can cause serious eye injuries even with safety measures.

This study found that ocular and mucocutaneous sequelae are common in SJS/TEN survivors, with exposure to sulfadoxine and severe acute ocular involvement identified as significant risk factors for ocular sequelae.

In this observational study of female undergraduate students, researchers found a significant correlation between the use of eyelash extensions and ocular side effects such as itching, lashes pulling out, and heavy eyelids, affecting 54% of participants during or after use.

This study found that rice bran supercritical CO₂ extract was classified as a non-irritant for ocular use but a moderate irritant for dermal use in rabbits and guinea pigs.

This case report from Nepal describes a five-year-old boy with Hutchinson Gilford Progeria Syndrome experiencing ocular manifestations, highlighting the role of ocular senescence in this genetic disorder.

This article reviews the role of skin surface lipid in mediating environmental stressors and discusses potential therapeutic interventions, reporting no new experimental findings.

This study found that liquid crystalline nanoparticles formulated with Cremophor surfactants significantly enhanced skin permeation of finasteride compared to lower surfactant concentrations.

This study validated a protocol for inducing surface ectoderm differentiation from human induced pluripotent stem cells and highlighted the role of TGFβ signaling pathways in this process.

This study highlights that niosomes, or non-ionic surfactant based vesicles, offer an advantageous drug delivery system due to their stability, cost-effectiveness, and ability to enhance drug bioavailability and targeting efficiency for various therapeutic agents.

This review discusses the potential for surface-modified nanostructured lipid carriers to enhance hair regrowth by improving drug absorption and stability, focusing on their use with agents like minoxidil and finasteride for hair loss treatment.

In this study, PEVIII, a nanocomposite chitosan-coated vesicle containing both α-hederin and hederacoside C, demonstrated notable antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a keratitis model, showing significant lesion reduction, tissue improvement, and decreased bacterial load and inflammatory markers compared to other treatments.

This review concluded that near-infrared and red light photobiomodulation shows potential for certain ocular conditions like age-related macular degeneration and dry eye disease, but clinical evidence is still mixed and insufficient to establish it as a standard therapy.

This study found that switching patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension from benzalkonium chloride-latanoprost to preservative-free latanoprost maintained intraocular pressure control and improved tolerability, potentially enhancing treatment adherence and quality of life.

In this study, researchers developed an in-situ gel formulation of antibacterial Levofloxacin for the eye, which showed prolonged drug release, increased residence time, and effective antibacterial action, suggesting it may be a safe and effective ocular delivery system for antibiotics.

This study developed lipid-core nanocapsules for encapsulating menthol, improving its solubility and thermal stability, and demonstrated their safety and rapid skin absorption in ex vivo tests, highlighting potential applications for cosmeceuticals.

This study found that stressed dermal fibroblasts significantly increased dopa oxidase activity in melanocytes from hair, skin, and eyes, suggesting the involvement of fibroblast-derived factors like basic Fibroblast Growth Factor.

In this study, researchers optimized fast-dissolving tablets of nifedipine using a systematic approach, resulting in formulations that demonstrated rapid disintegration, enhanced dissolution profiles, and improved solubility, potentially improving oral delivery for patients requiring poorly soluble antihypertensive medication.

This review discusses the role of organoids and organ chips in advancing ophthalmological research and therapeutic evaluation, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the range of long-term complications, including mucocutaneous, ocular, and psychological sequelae, for survivors of Stevens–Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the role of Demodex mites in ocular demodecosis and various eye ailments, highlighting diagnostic methods but noting a lack of standardized treatments, with no new clinical results reported.

This study found that a 1% concentration of thyme oil was more effective at killing Demodex mites in vitro than higher concentrations of tea tree and sage oils, suggesting thyme oil may have therapeutic potential for ocular demodicosis.
