The hair follicle's connective tissue is a key source of a certain collagen in human scalp skin.

This review explores the potential role of caveolin-1 in cicatricial alopecia, particularly frontal fibrosing alopecia, and discusses possibilities for targeted therapies without providing new research results.

This case series observed that the combination of platelet-rich plasma and fat grafting improved hair quality and density in patients with non-scarring alopecia, with effects visible by 12 weeks and sustained up to one year.

This study presents a new method for evaluating cosmetic treatments by measuring the resistance of hair to mechanical wear, revealing differences related to hair ethnicity and treatment type.

This study found that the cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP-sb21 can hydroxylate cyclosporine A at multiple positions, reducing its immunosuppressive effects but retaining its hair growth-promoting side-effect, and suggests modifications to improve regioselectivity for commercial use.

This study found that topically applied Chinese black tea extract, when fermented and combined with capsaicin, significantly promoted hair growth in mice, potentially involving estrogen receptor interactions.

This source reports that trastuzumab deruxtecan improves outcomes in HER2-positive and HER2-low metastatic breast cancer, emphasizing the need for careful adverse event monitoring, particularly for interstitial lung disease, and managing emetic risk to maximize benefits.

In this study, researchers found that pregnant mice exposed to excessive androgen led to thinner ventricular walls and cardiac hypertrophy in offspring, suggesting that prenatal androgen exposure adversely affects cardiac health through reduced cardiomyocyte proliferation.

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 study found that Polygoni Multiflori Radix (PMR) reduced collagenase and elastase activity after UVB damage in fibroblasts, suggesting potential anti-aging properties for cosmetic use.

This review examines emerging biomaterial strategies designed to support both neural regeneration and cutaneous wound healing, emphasizing their potential to improve sensory function through mechanisms like axonal regrowth and vascular network formation, while noting the need for standardized assessments and clinically translatable designs.

This review highlights the potential of genetically or metabolically engineered live biotherapeutic products (eLBPs) for skin repair and disease treatment but emphasizes that translating these innovations into practical clinical applications remains challenging, requiring further research and development.

This report presents the first successful management of minoxidil toxicosis in a cat, detailing the clinical progression and treatment plan used to resolve the condition.

This chapter provides an overview of the complex chemical and physical structure of the hair surface, detailing how factors like ethnicity, environmental stress, and cosmetic treatments can alter its properties and influence the adhesion of hair care products.

This review discusses the potential applications of platelet rich plasma in dermatology and cosmetology for conditions like alopecia and skin rejuvenation and reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, a new leave-on hair treatment with Dynagen and zinc salts significantly increased hair growth rate, fibre diameter, and follicle strength in healthy women.

Early treatment of PCOS in teens is crucial to prevent long-term health issues like diabetes and heart disease.

Hair follicles could be used for targeted drug delivery, with liposomal systems showing promise for this method.

This review discusses the roles of hair follicles and sebaceous glands in percutaneous transport and reports no new results, noting a lack of adequate models and methodologies.

This chapter reviews current and emerging pharmacological treatments for alopecia, noting that the FDA's classification of alopecia as a cosmetic disease has limited drug development and led to off-label use of potentially dangerous compounds.

The researchers reported that zinc carbonate nanoparticles stabilized with polyvinylpyrrolidone did not show local irritant or skin-resorptive effects in preclinical tests on rabbits and rats.

This study developed HA-gel-dex hydrogels with enhanced ECM-like properties and functionality, showing promise for 3D bioprinting, tissue repair, and as wound dressings due to improved cell interaction, cytocompatibility, antimicrobial synergy, and wound healing in mice compared to traditional ECM bio-inks.

This study discusses advancements in nanotechnology and theranostic dressings, which may significantly improve chronic wound care by effectively targeting biofilms and enabling real-time monitoring, although obstacles to broad applicability and sustainability remain.

In this study, transplantation of hair follicle stem cells and nerve growth factor-modified stem cells significantly reduced amyloid deposition and tau hyperphosphorylation in an Alzheimer's disease rat model, suggesting potential as a treatment option.

This review reports that Fenugreek seeds contain compounds like Galactomannan and Trigonelline, which show anti-diabetic and anti-hyperlipidemic effects, while Fenugreek leaves have high saponin content, contributing to their anti-microbial activities.

In this study, researchers developed de novo designed hetero-bifunctional proteins as an alternative approach for targeted protein degradation, successfully targeting BCL-xL for degradation in cells and inducing apoptosis, which may expand the range of addressable E3 ligases and disease targets.

This study analyzes contemporary theories and practices to understand key factors influencing the development of the examined phenomenon, proposing trends and practical applications for researchers and practitioners, while acknowledging study limitations and suggesting future research directions.

In this study, a pH-responsive microneedle patch was developed, showing potential in rat models for treating spinal cord injuries by reducing inflammation, promoting nerve regeneration, and supporting neurogenesis, which contributed to improved motor and neurological recovery.

This study evaluated a new herbal shampoo made from traditional plants and found it to have effective cleansing properties, moderate foam stability, and environmental safety, suggesting it as a favorable natural alternative to synthetic shampoos.

This paper examines the rising popularity and potential benefits of rice water for hair care, noting that while it contains beneficial compounds like inositol that may increase hair strength and decrease frizz, there is still no definitive scientific proof of its efficacy.
