Methylmercury accumulates in mouse hair during growth, then decreases when growth stops.

In this study, researchers found that silica nanoparticles synthesized using cold plasma showed a higher biofilm inhibition effect on Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli compared to those made with a magnetic stirrer.

This study found that disulfide bonds in keratin increase its strength and toughness, with some loss of α-helical structure under load, highlighting their role in trichocyte α-keratin's mechanical properties.

This study observed that electrical stimulation of specific mechanoreceptive afferents in the orofacial region can evoke sensations consistent with their response properties, while others may require multiple afferents to access perceptual levels.

This study found that mental rotation and neuroticism demonstrated curvilinear relationships with hair loss, suggesting that dihydrotestosterone levels might affect spatial cognition and personality traits in men.

This study explored a multidimensional approach to examine body hairs' physico-chemical properties, potentially supporting their use over scalp hairs in forensic and intoxication studies.

In this study, the researchers found that optic atrophy 1 (OPA1) is involved in the transition between filamentous and rounded mitochondria in hair follicle dermal papilla cells, potentially influencing cellular energy dynamics.

This article introduces a hypothesis linking the enzyme catalase in processed meats to higher cancer incidence due to its electromagnetic field emissions, but reports no new clinical results.

This study on mice found that activating TRPML channels with MLSA1 promoted hair regeneration, accelerated hair cycle transition, and influenced human dermal papilla cells to secrete hair growth promoting factors while reducing hair growth inhibitors and oxidative damage.

This study concluded that the curliness of human hair, regardless of ethnicity, originates from the inhomogeneous internal nanostructure due to differences in the distribution of two types of cortices.

This manuscript proposes a hypothesis that the enzyme catalase added to processed meats may emit electromagnetic fields and contribute to cancer development.

This research describes methods to analyze the mechanical properties and fracture characteristics of hair across different types and ages, using specialized tensile testing and imaging techniques, without reporting new results.

This study found that repeatedly collecting hair follicles from individuals with fragile X syndrome is feasible for measuring FMR1 and FMRP levels in both home and office settings.

In this study, researchers developed a method called the Stiffness-Angle Law and found that hair treated with caffeine-infused shampoo showed a 13.2% increase in stiffness, as measured by their novel evaluation technique.

This study found that the weak tensile strength of pili torti hair may result from loose keratin intermediate filaments due to abnormalities in disulfide bonds.

In this study, researchers employed a modified coaxial electrospinning technique to create core-sheath nanofibers, which improved the transdermal delivery of finasteride compared to traditional monolithic nanofibers, showing enhanced penetration rates throughout the testing period.

Men using steroids or finasteride to look more attractive may harm their fertility and sexual function, creating a paradox where they seem fit but may be less able to reproduce.

This study demonstrated that an automated algorithm can effectively track epithelial cell movement within clusters, revealing that partial knockdown of E-cadherin reduces electrotactic potential in breast epithelial cells, particularly in free-moving clusters, and suggesting an adhesion-independent role of E-cadherin in regulating cell electrotaxis.

In this study, human hair-carboxymethylated protein analysis showed that weathering for over 2.5 years can obscure electrophoretic patterns, while cosmetic treatments did not cause significant changes.

This study presented a new method for accurately measuring Fe³⁺ in small serum samples, achieving high recovery rates and agreement with established testing methods, while offering advantages such as cost-effectiveness, simplicity, and enhanced sensitivity.

In this prospective cohort study, male pattern baldness was identified as an independent predictor of prostate cancer, while the 2D:4D finger ratio was not associated with the cancer risk.

This study found that mouse hair follicle stem cells in a quiescent state exhibit greater chromatin dynamics and de-differentiation potential, suggesting higher cell fate plasticity compared to their proliferative or differentiated counterparts.

This study aimed to identify new quantitative geometric and mechanical parameters for curly and kinky hair using various microscopy and mechanical analysis methods, revealing correlations between hair fiber geometry and mechanical performance to enhance personal care product development and promote cultural inclusion.

This study introduced a high-viscosity epoxy photoresist to enhance the fabrication of complex microstructures with monolithic integration and mechanical stability, enabling advancements in two-photon 3D printing for creating functional micro-mechanical devices.

In this study, researchers observed bright colored patches in the hair of diabetic patients under cross polarized light, suggesting a potential non-invasive diagnostic method for diabetes.

In this study, the novel thiol-Michael click perming molecule, MA2-CySS, achieved repeatable perming with reduced oxidative damage, preserving hair keratin's structure while maintaining efficiency comparable to traditional oxidative methods.

Frequent hairdryer use may worsen hair fragility in people with Pili Annulati.

This study demonstrated a close anatomical relationship between Merkel cells and Langerhans cells in human hair follicles, suggesting potential functional interactions in the bulge area.

This study found that human dermal papilla cells are embedded in a basement membrane-like extracellular matrix, which is essential for their aggregation and function, as supported by evidence that Matrigel enhances dermal papilla cohesion and gene expression compared to collagen I, which promotes cell dispersion.
