This study found that human scalp hair follicles can internally operate a Cori cycle, synthesize glycogen in the presence of lactate, and modulate growth through glycogen phosphorylase activity.

This review discusses recent advances in the genetic understanding of inherited hair and nail disorders and reports no new clinical results.

This study identified a missense mutation in the keratin 71 gene as the cause of autosomal dominant woolly hair/hypotrichosis in a Japanese family, marking the first human mutation in KRT71 linked to a hair disorder.

This review highlights recent genetic research advancements in understanding hereditary hair diseases but reports no new study results, emphasizing the identification of genes related to both monogenic and polygenic hair disorders.

In this study, sodium thiosulfate was observed to promote hair growth in mice by encouraging hair follicles to enter the growth phase and complementing the effects of minoxidil, suggesting potential benefits for hair loss treatment.

This study found that two unrelated domestic shorthair cats had novel DSG4 gene mutations causing defective hair shafts, representing the first report of pathogenic DSG4 variants in domestic animals.

This research suggests that mouse mutants and genomics can help study hair biology and epithelial differentiation by focusing on the role of the Foxn1 gene.

This study found that overexpression of Smad7 in transgenic mice led to severe alterations in multiple epithelial tissues, resulting in early death after birth.

This review examines the differential aging of melanocytes in hair follicles and skin, and reports no new findings; the authors suggest further research is needed to understand these processes.

Aging causes hair to gray and thin, with the timing of graying varying by race, and factors like oxidative stress and genetics can lead to hair loss.

This paper reviews hair structure and damage from grooming and cosmetic exposure but reports no new clinical findings; it suggests collaboration between dermatologists and cosmetic chemists to improve hair care products.

This study suggests that lower serum and tissue vitamin D receptor levels in alopecia areata and androgenetic alopecia patients may play a role in the pathogenesis of these hair diseases.

Finasteride reduces inflammation and improves immune response after trauma by altering hormone levels.

This study reported that phytochemicals SA-4 and SA-6 from Tridax procumbens exhibited a dose-related immunostimulatory effect on mice, suggesting their potential as immunostimulators.

Finasteride reduces testosterone conversion, progesterone lessens this, and levamisole enhances finasteride's effect.

This study identified natural compounds from Iris plants that showed potential as inhibitors of urease and carbonic anhydrase-II enzymes, suggesting their possible use in treating related disorders.

This study found that ethanolic and petroleum ether extracts of Cuscuta reflexa, as well as an isolate from these extracts, improved hair growth and follicle characteristics in androgen-induced alopecia in rats.

This study found that the petroleum ether extract of Citrullus colocynthis fruit and an isolated steroidal compound may reduce prostatic hyperplasia in rats induced by testosterone, suggesting potential use in managing androgen-dependent conditions.

This study evaluated a herbal oil formulation in an animal model, finding it significantly enhanced hair growth initiation and completion times compared to a control, suggesting it as a natural and safer alternative to synthetic hair growth treatments.

This review discusses recent advances in the understanding of follicular melanogenesis and its pathological changes, particularly how these changes are associated with specific disease phenotypes, but it reports no new results.

This study utilized advanced imaging techniques to quantify hair damage and dye uptake dynamics, revealing that compound penetration in hair is influenced by molecule size and lipophilicity.

This study found that the aqueous extract of Abrus precatorius leaf promoted hair growth in experimental settings, with effects comparable to 2% minoxidil.

This workshop review from the Australian Hair and Wool Research Society discusses findings in cutaneous biology and endocrinology but presents no new research results.

This study evaluated the wedelolactone content and antimicrobial activity of Eclipta alba and Wedelia chinensis extracts, finding a potential relationship between the concentration of wedelolactone and their in vitro antimicrobial effects against several pathogenic bacteria and yeast.

This article explores the interactions between retinoids and the immune system but reports no new clinical results related to their role in hair cycle control.

This review examines the roles of Smad-4 and Smad-7 in hair follicle differentiation and development through BMP signaling and TGFβ/Activin/BMP pathway inhibition but reports no new experimental results.

In this study, researchers identified two distinct homozygous mutations in the KRT85 gene among consanguineous Pakistani families with pure hair and nail ectodermal dysplasia, highlighting variations in severity and potential impacts on the K85 protein function.

This study found that TRH modulates specific keratins in human scalp tissue, suggesting its potential influence on hair growth and the need for further exploration of neuroendocrine controls in keratin expression.

This review discusses various noninflammatory alopecias in horses, particularly alopecia areata, and reports no new treatment results, emphasizing the need for differential diagnosis through examination and biopsy.

This study found that transcriptome profiling of cashmere goat skin revealed key genes and pathways involved in hair follicle initiation, differentiation, and maturation, which are critical for improving fleece production.
