This study found that bioengineered skin substitutes developed for 21 or 28 days effectively mimic native skin's ability to absorb UV radiation, suggesting suitability for treating severe skin defects.

This study found that in a mouse model, betamethasone dipropionate reduced epidermal thickness while fish oil unexpectedly increased it, validating optical coherence tomography as an effective measurement tool.

This study found that the expression of laminin-511 and -332 was significantly increased in psoriasis skin lesions and may influence keratinocyte proliferation and apoptosis, suggesting a previously overlooked role in the disease's pathogenesis.

This article discusses the benefits of follicular unit transplantation for male hair restoration, highlighting its ability to achieve natural-looking results with minimal recovery time and low risk of complications, and reports no new clinical results.

This case report describes the first instance of ANCA positive vasculitis secondary to Mycobacterium abscessus pulmonary disease, highlighting the complex interplay of immune dysfunction and treatment challenges.

Dermoscopy greatly improves melanoma diagnosis and reduces unneeded surgeries.

This article describes various hair and scalp examination techniques, including noninvasive, semi-invasive, and invasive methods, noting that trichoscopy is a simple, well-accepted, noninvasive technique for evaluating hair loss patients and monitoring treatment.

In this study, the researchers developed minoxidil cubosomes using nanotechnology, which improved drug penetration in the skin, showed greater hair growth efficacy, and reduced adverse skin reactions compared to traditional minoxidil solutions.

This article reviews recent hair restoration techniques evaluated in case studies at WHS/ISHRS workshops but reports no new clinical results, highlighting the need for further research with larger study groups.

This study found that stimulating dermal papilla cells with specific adipo-osteogenic factors and growth factors helped maintain their viability and restored their hair-forming activity in vitro.

This study created a detailed spatial atlas of healthy human skin and basal cell carcinoma, revealing a potential hair follicle origin for basal cell carcinoma and expansion of certain mesenchymal cell populations.

This study used light sheet fluorescence microscopy to successfully image and analyze calcium oscillations in the root hairs of Arabidopsis thaliana, finding that these oscillations correlate with the root hair growth rate and that auxin affects these properties.

This study found that the mechanical stiffening of the human hair follicle along the first millimeter is linked to changes in the keratin network architecture and composition during keratinization.

This study showed that chemical and mechanical treatments significantly alter the nanoscale surface properties of hair, affecting its roughness, mechanical stiffness, adhesion, and surface potential.

This study found that plasma jets can effectively clean and oxidize human hair fibers, with argon/oxygen plasma having the strongest effects, suggesting potential as an alternative to peroxide treatment.

This study found that hair from ovarian teratomas shares similar chemical composition and morphology with scalp hair, but differs in physical properties and cysteic acid bands.

This article discusses the structure of hair follicles and their significance in evaluating hair disorders, but it does not report any new research findings.

This study found that permanent waving treatment induces structural changes in the cortex proteins of white human hair, significantly reducing its tensile strength without altering the S-S band intensity.

This study shows that environmental contamination affects mummy hair, suggesting that using it to assess ancient people's health or nutrition should be approached cautiously.

This study found that keratin derivatives with functionalized thiol groups improved binding to both natural and bleached hair fibers, suggesting a promising strategy for enhancing keratin's durability in hair repair.

This study suggests that corkscrew hairs in tinea capitis result from internal hair damage by Trichophyton violaceum and external resistance from scalp scales.

This study in Hexi cashmere goats found that secondary follicle activity increases with time, and Hoxc13 expression varies significantly across different growth stages, suggesting a role in follicle activity.

This study demonstrates the use of microscopy-guided laser ablation to create a highly structured 3D hydrogel-based organotypic skin model with folliculoid structures, potentially useful for studying hair follicle development or bioactive substance screening.

This study found that heating damages Asian black male and female hair cuticles without altering their structure, with damage severity increasing at higher temperatures and longer exposure times.

In this study, LC-OCT was used to distinguish between subtypes of scarring alopecia, laying the groundwork for further hypotheses and future research in larger and longitudinal studies to examine treatment responses.

This study found that line-field confocal optical coherence tomography effectively visualized key diagnostic features of classic lichen planopilaris in real time, suggesting its potential as a valuable diagnostic tool.

This study is the first to document alopecia in Guadalupe fur seals in the Northeast Pacific Ocean, finding that it may result from nutritional stress due to higher sea surface temperatures.

In this study, authors reported that reflectance confocal microscopy may aid in diagnosing trichofolliculoma by identifying specific features correlated with histopathology that can be difficult to discern with other methods.

In this study, an infection model using rabbits was developed for dermatophytosis by inoculating macroconidia of Microsporum species, showing that direct intradermal application effectively progressed to the skin invasion phase and highlighted the correlation between severity of symptoms and duration post-inoculation.

In this study, the researchers developed and optimized a curcumin nanocrystal gel to enhance skin permeability, reporting improved dissolution properties and antiproliferative effects on cell lines, suggesting it as a promising topical delivery system.
