Hair health is influenced by genetics, aging, and environmental factors, with proper care needed to maintain it.

This article discusses the development of an interactive workbook by OCCAM to help cancer patients communicate their use of complementary and alternative medicine with healthcare providers and reports no clinical results.

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

This study reports that hair fibers degrade most in acidic sandy clay, while silicone oil treatment is effective for conserving various hair types and artifacts.

Curly and straight hair differ in how their internal fibers are arranged.

This paper summarizes the main findings presented in the plenary sessions of the British Journal of Dermatology, July 2004 issue, and provides no new research results.

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 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 study examined developing hair cortex with electron microscopy and found that keratin fibrils form between specific regions in hair follicles and aggregate into twisted cables.

In this study, researchers found that black holes with primary Proca hair exhibit distinctive optical properties, including a two-boundary shadow structure and additional inner rings, offering novel observational signatures and potential insights into strong-gravity environments.

This study discovered a new region in the hair cortex where intermediate filaments are both aligned with the hair's axis and orientationally ordered, influenced by the cuticle boundary.

In this ex vivo study, inhibiting Ezh2 with a small molecule slowed human hair growth by decreasing proliferation and increasing apoptosis in the outer root sheath.

This article describes cases of unusual scalp whorl patterns, including triple parietal and right temporal whorls, that were associated with normal development, and discusses theories of hair whorl development.

Krox20 is important for cell differentiation in the brain and hair follicles.

Propolis extract can promote hair growth and increase keratin production.

This study introduces the term "hair matrix cyst" for a cyst with both pilomatricoma and epidermal cyst characteristics, highlighting its potential for misdiagnosis among similar skin conditions.

This study observed that human hair macrofibrils predominantly exhibit a double-twist architecture with varying inter-macrofibril angles, advancing insights into their structural organization and mechanical implications.

This study highlights multiple factors contributing to hair graying, such as oxidative damage, melanocyte changes, and genetic influences, and suggests that repigmentation may be temporarily reversible, offering potential targets for future treatments while urging caution when applying mouse model findings to humans.

This study developed a new, simple, and economical RP-TLC method with densitometry that is suitable for routine analysis of finasteride in tablet dosage form, meeting analytical validation criteria.

In this prospective study, 15 patients with patchy alopecia areata treated with intralesional methotrexate every two weeks showed a significant improvement in hair regrowth and reduction in lesion severity, with changes linked to decreased tissue levels of TNF-α.

This study successfully synthesized novel cercidin analogues from Cercidophyllum japonicum, confirming their structure via NMR data. The researchers suggest these compounds could facilitate future antibiotic development by advancing structure-activity-relationship studies.

This study found that somatic mosaic mutations in the doublecortin gene may cause subcortical band heterotopia in male patients, and molecular analysis using hair roots is a useful detection method.

This study found that Notch signalling promotes differentiation of epidermal cells and acts as a tumour suppressor in the skin by interacting with various pathways and mechanisms.

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder causing hair loss, linked to specific hair follicle antigens and genetic factors.

In this study, different types of catagen in the C57BL/6 mouse model exhibited varying effects on hair follicle melanocytes and melanin distribution, with spontaneous and dexamethasone-induced catagen showing pigment incontinence, while cyclophosphamide-induced catagen retained dendritic melanocytes but increased ectopic melanin.

This study found that BMP-2 activates Dlx3 gene transcription in murine keratinocytes by binding with Smad1/Smad4, suggesting a mechanism for BMP signaling's role in skin and hair follicle regulation.

This study found that transcription factors HOXC13, LEF1, and FOXN1 repress DSG4 transcription, with the Notch pathway possibly involved in maintaining DSG4 expression in hair follicles.

This study found that while malignant pilomatricomas maintain some keratin expression patterns seen in benign counterparts, they notably express additional epithelial keratins, potentially influencing tumor calcification.

This report expands the known genetic mutations linked to monilethrix by identifying new patients with KRT83 mutations, confirming its role as a causative gene for this hair disorder.
