This study investigated the mechanism responsible for pili torti formation in Björnstad syndrome using a transmission electron microscope, but did not establish a definitive explanation.

This article reviews the various short- and long-term side effects of antiretroviral therapy for HIV, highlighting issues like dyslipidemia and hypertension, but reports no new clinical results.

This study provides a detailed profile of bioactive polyphenols in various parts of the baobab fruit, highlighting its potential as a health-promoting food or supplement.

This review focuses on the various skin toxicities caused by chemotherapeutic and targeted tumor therapy drugs, including rashes, keratoacanthoma, and more severe conditions like Stevens-Johnson syndrome, without presenting new clinical results.

This study found that low molecular weight collagen peptide from fish may promote hair growth in both human cells and mice by activating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

This study found that pilomatricomas exhibit co-expression of hair keratin hHa5 and HOXC13 in lower transitional cells, but lack LEF1 and β-catenin co-expression necessary for canonical Wnt signaling pathway-controlled cortical differentiation.

This study observed that PCE-DP may improve skin pigmentation by increasing epidermal turnover and inhibiting melanin uptake and inflammation in human epidermal keratinocytes.

This study found that forming inclusion complexes of DPCP with HPβCD using the 3D ground mixture method enhances its anti-inflammatory activity at lower doses compared to complexes with β-CD.

In this report, researchers describe a 13-month-old with neurodevelopmental disorder NEDESBA, confirming a TRAPPC4 gene mutation as the cause after excluding biotinidase deficiency, highlighting the importance of molecular testing for accurate diagnosis in overlapping metabolic and genetic conditions.

This study reports a good correlation between the curvature of human eyelashes and the displacement of the neutral axis, influenced by the non-uniform thickness of the outer cuticle layer.

This study found that by using an automated system to analyze skin histology, 108 structural features were significantly affected by age, and it identified four new aging biomarkers and notable sex-based differences in skin aging.

This review discusses various dermatological scoring systems used to objectively assess disease severity and guide treatment decisions, reporting no new clinical results.

This study developed mathematical models showing that heat penetrates individual hair quickly but takes longer to reach the center of hair bundles, helping understand potential damage from high-temperature styling tools.

Authors defend finasteride-depression link, suggest detailed medical history, and call for more investigation.

This study found that the extraction-resistant structures in hair, feathers, and hagfish teeth are due to ε-(γ-glutamyl)lysine cross-linked proteins, emphasizing their role in maintaining the integrity of these materials.

This randomized controlled study reported that combining Ecklonia cava with Diane-35 significantly improved weight, waist circumference, hormonal balance, and inflammation markers in women with polycystic ovary syndrome over three months compared to Diane-35 alone.

The document explains that Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is a complex condition that is hard to diagnose and manage, but it doesn't talk about hair loss or hair growth.

This study found that disruptions in planar cell polarity signaling are implicated in congenital heart defects and cardiomyopathy in developing mouse hearts, associated with early cardiomyocyte disorganization and improper heart looping.

This report presents a case of pili torti in a young girl with citrullinemia, a novel association not previously documented.

This case report describes a rare occurrence of ectodermal dysplasia features in a 14-year-old with MBTPS1 gene variants, expanding the known spectrum of related disorders.

This study suggests that the interaction between folliculin and plakophilin-4 (p0071) may play a role in folliculin's tumor suppressor function by regulating RhoA signaling, impacting cell migration and junction formation.

This review highlights the important role of the vitamin B complex in enhancing tissue repair, reducing inflammation, and improving surgical outcomes in plastic and reconstructive procedures by supporting cellular processes such as mitochondrial efficiency, neurotransmitter biosynthesis, and wound healing pathways.

This study's molecular dynamics simulations suggest that electrostatic interactions mainly stabilize peptide binding to human hair keratin, with the protein's dielectric constant significantly affecting free energy calculations.

The study concluded that fatty acid transport protein 4 in epidermal keratinocytes is crucial for maintaining normal skin structure, as its deficiency led to hyperkeratosis and epidermal barrier disruption in mice.

This study found that the distribution of carbohydrates and proteins in porcine hair follicles and sebaceous glands showed minor differences compared to humans.

This study examines the structure of the "sinuskissen" in cat hair follicles, revealing it as a loose connective tissue susceptible to changes in aqueous flow, and describes its variable three-dimensional shapes.

This study found that the cytokeratin patterns in skin epithelia can distinguish between different types, with basal-cell epitheliomas showing a striking similarity to the pilosebaceous tract.

This study found that pepsin digestion was more effective than trypsin at identifying keratin-associated proteins in human hair shafts and confirmed that trypsin introduced a bias in the analysis of protein composition that pepsin can correct.

This study observed that Poria cocos polysaccharides and finasteride both reduced inflammation in chronic nonbacterial prostatitis in rats, but only Poria cocos polysaccharides reversed related changes in the gut microbiota.

This study suggests that the mechanical robustness of hair may be enhanced by the binding interactions of keratin-associated proteins, particularly KAP8.1, with intermediate filament proteins.
