This study found that using a microfiber towel to dry human hair better preserves hair keratin integrity and wear resistance compared to blow-drying or using a cotton towel, as indicated by stronger alpha-helix structure in FTIR analysis.

Hair coloring and bleaching can permanently break down hair protein and temporarily change its properties.

This study investigated the effect of peracetic acid treatment on hair fiber structure and found that disulfide bond oxidation altered thermal properties while preserving the α-crystal structure, suggesting different stabilizing interactions in hair fibers.

This study found that oxidative treatment with peracetic acid dissociates some disulfide bonds in human hair fibers while maintaining the crystalline structure, suggesting different mechanisms stabilize different regions of intermediate filaments.

Human hair structure varies by ethnicity, and certain treatments can improve hair condition and appearance.

Twisting hair weakens it, but strength can be recovered at low twist levels.

This study found that shift nurses exhibited lower circadian variations compared to daytime nurses, indicating an adjustment of their biological clocks to continuous shift schedules.

This study found that cold exposure disrupts the circadian rhythm in cultured human cells by reducing oscillation amplitude, which is restored upon rewarming, while human hair follicle cells showed minimal amplitude sensitivity to temperature changes, suggesting an evolutionary advantage related to Hopf bifurcation dynamics.

This study found that temperature affects the influence of daylength on prolactin secretion and hair growth in dairy goats, without significant involvement of melatonin.

This study found that minoxidil exhibits preferential solvation by water in both water-rich and ethanol-rich solvent mixtures.

In this study, researchers identified a gene regulatory network in Arabidopsis that controls root hair growth under low-temperature conditions, revealing specific transcription factors and downstream targets that contribute to this growth response despite overall plant development being halted.

This study assessed the potential for Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion power in Fiji, finding higher power output and efficiency during summer due to greater temperature differences between surface and deep sea waters.

This study found that spraying melon plants with 0.1 mg·L–1 molybdenum significantly improved growth, photosynthetic characteristics, carbohydrate metabolism, and fruit quality under high-temperature stress, boosting fruit weight by 27.9% and yield per plant by 20.1% compared to untreated controls.

This review discusses the incidence, reversibility, and impact of chemotherapy-induced alopecia and concludes that scalp cooling is the most effective prevention method in most cases, though some questions remain.

This study optimized conditions for extracting saponins from Eclipta prostrata, achieving maximum yield with specific ethanol concentration, time, temperature, and liquid/solid ratio.

This study found that transethosomal gel loaded with propranolol hydrochloride prolonged drug release and increased peak plasma concentration compared to an oral tablet, suggesting a promising alternative for delivery.

This study found that CuO/SiO2 nanowires enhanced with photothermal therapy exhibit significant antibacterial effects against E. coli and S. aureus and promote wound healing and vascularization, suggesting potential as an alternative treatment for infected wounds in mouse models.

This study examined the stability of two 5α-reductase inhibitors in Tectona grandis extracts, finding that they are more stable in acidic environments and degrade rapidly under heat and light unless protected, suggesting the need for careful storage when developing anti-hair loss medications.

This study found that men experiencing long-term symptoms after finasteride use for androgenetic alopecia frequently reported loss of penis sensitivity and anhedonia, among other effects, indicating potential post-finasteride syndrome.

Light and temperature affect the daily skin function rhythms in hairless rats, with temperature influencing water loss but not skin hydration.

In this study, utilizing a mixture of crushed sky fruit seeds and sodium salt for goat skin preservation led to a significant reduction in environmental impact, decreasing total dissolved solids by 59% and chloride content by 44%, while maintaining the physical quality of processed leather.

This article reviews the biological and physical principles of laser hair removal and reports that current laser systems do not consistently achieve permanent hair follicle destruction across treated areas.

This study found that the multifunctional FEA-PCEI dressing significantly accelerated wound healing, reduced scar formation, and promoted hair follicle neogenesis while providing antibacterial and anti-inflammatory benefits.

In this study, using light masks to extend photoperiod was effective for maintaining the summer coat in horses and accelerating shedding in outdoor horses, but timing was crucial for success.

This study found that African and Caucasian hair contain the most lipids, and depletion of these lipids leads to less water retention and increased water desorption, with Caucasian hair showing improved breaking tenacity after lipid extraction.

In this study, a newly engineered scaffold, PADM-MX-Ag-Si@Dox, demonstrated potential as a multifunctional biomaterial for postoperative melanoma treatment by controlling drug release, enhancing wound healing, and enabling real-time tumor surveillance through temperature, pH, and electrical stimuli.

This study demonstrated the usefulness of fully implantable loggers in measuring heart rate and sub-blubber temperature in captive harbour seals, with findings suggesting lower heart rates during molting and differences in temperature regulation between adults and sub-adults.

This study found that platelet-rich plasma microneedles promoted hair regrowth in mice by facilitating angiogenesis and cell proliferation, showing promise for a minimally invasive hair regeneration treatment.

This study investigated the production of β-cyclodextrin from ginkgo seeds, finding that a pretreatment scheme involving high-temperature gelatinization significantly improved the conversion rate to 72.63%, highlighting the industrial potential of underutilized ginkgo seed powder for sustainable applications.

This study found that quercetin-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles demonstrated positive protective effects on human hair against UV-B light, as they controlled microscopic surface roughness, reduced chemical changes, and minimized protein loss in vitro compared to other treatments.
