This study reports that a widespread founder SERPINB7 mutation underlies Nagashima-type palmoplantar keratosis, which is a common form of palmoplantar keratosis in Asian populations.

This study reports that trichocyte intermediate filaments from rat vibrissae and human hair follicles may contain a hollow region at their core, suggesting unique structural properties.

This study found that type II keratins in proliferating epithelial tissues are phosphorylated at a conserved motif during mitosis and stress, impacting keratin solubilization and reorganization.

The conclusion is that "trichoknesis" should be recognized as a separate condition from trichodynia, characterized by itching instead of pain.

This review discusses the role of the TRPV4 channel in skin physiology and pathology, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target for skin disorders, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that cytoplasmic nucleic acids significantly increase the expression of certain chemokines in human keratinocytes through NF-κB activation, though the specific receptors involved remain unidentified.

This study observed that the topical skin-whitening agent rhododendrol induced skin depigmentation in approximately 16,000 consumers, linked to melanocyte cytotoxicity and immune reactions.

A rare skin condition causes red and dark patches on the face and limbs.

This review explores potential new roles for Merkel cells, including involvement in magnetoreception, fingerprint formation, and transmitting environmental information, but reports no experimental results.

Sensitive skin is often caused by nerve fibers and environmental factors, and can be managed with mild skincare and professional advice.

This paper presents a new methodology combining magnetic tweezers and traction force microscopy to study keratinocyte mechanobiology, but reports no experimental results yet.

This study found that Piezo2 channels are primarily located on sensory axon membranes in mechanosensory end organs, supporting a model where mechanical stimuli activate Aβ RA-LTMR neurons via axon protrusions.

This review discusses changes in keratin structure or gene expression that result in various skin disorders and reports no new clinical findings.

Frequent hairdryer use may worsen hair fragility in people with Pili Annulati.

This study found that brindled mottled mice, a model of Kinky hair syndrome, exhibited abnormal development of catecholamine neurons, with increased TH-immunoreactive neurons and altered neurochemical profiles compared to controls.

In this study, researchers found that thrombin may influence cyclic hair growth through its receptor PAR-1, although it does not seem to stimulate dermal papilla cell proliferation physiologically.

This study found that the ethyl acetate fraction of Hibiscus rosa sinensis petals significantly reduced serum glucose and glycated hemoglobin levels in diabetic rats, showing effects comparable to the standard drug metformin.

This study found that Sinja Valley residents possess traditional knowledge of 13 edible oil-producing plant species, yet this knowledge is at risk due to sociocultural changes. Despite its benefits, including treating disorders like gastritis, use of indigenous oils is declining as commercial products become prevalent.

The document reviews various hair and nail disorders, their causes, and treatments, emphasizing the need for proper diagnosis and the link between nail changes and systemic diseases.

This review discusses nine Ayurvedic medicinal herbs listed in the Dhanvantari Nighantu as beneficial for hair, detailing their properties like promoting hair growth, enhancing hair thickness, and maintaining dark hair color, alongside supporting research on these effects.

This study aimed to develop a herbal hair oil formulation using ingredients like hibiscus, amla, and coconut oil to address hair loss and related issues without causing the adverse effects associated with synthetic medications.

In this research on cinnamon and virgin coconut oil hair tonics, F2 and F3 demonstrated stable physical properties and mild irritation potential, while formula 1 remained non-irritating but less stable regarding pH and viscosity.

This review discusses the diverse phytochemical constituents and medicinal applications of Asteraceae family plants, noting their significance in traditional and modern medicine, but provides no new clinical results.

This review identifies common medicinal plant species in Sri Lankan home gardens and discusses their traditional Ayurvedic uses, but it reports no new clinical results.

Pilocarpin can cause hair regrowth and color change in some cases but not in others, and it may have side effects in animals.

This study identified a new subset of Ret-positive sensory neurons involved in itch perception, characterized by their unique expression profile and response to specific itch-inducing molecules.

Contact allergies might contribute to frontal fibrosing alopecia.

This study suggests that trichoscopic features, such as perifollicular erythema and cicatricial white patches, are independently associated with pruritus and the severity of frontal fibrosing alopecia.

This study found that corticotropin-releasing factor influences cytokine expression related to hair growth in human dermal papilla cells and suggests CRF receptor antagonists could be potential treatments for stress-induced hair loss.

This case report documents a rare association between atopic eczema and pili annulati in two siblings from north India, an unusual finding not previously reported in the literature.
