This study investigated the mechanical response of the human hair cuticle to strain and found that cuticular deformation directly corresponded with fiber elongation, revealing significant molecular-level changes in disulfide crosslinks but maintained structural stability, highlighting the role of the cuticle in stress resistance.

This study found that a single injection of Platelet Rich Stroma improved knee function and reduced pain and stiffness in patients with knee osteoarthritis over twelve months.

This report describes two cases of Rapp–Hodgkin ectodermal dysplasia where refractory scalp erosions improved significantly with potent topical steroids; it also suggests a potential link between these scalp conditions and erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp in elderly patients.

This study concluded that allele-specific PCR (AS-PCR) is more reliable than tetra-primer ARMS-PCR for genotyping the SNP rs1998076 due to better stability and interpretability.

This review examines the role of red cell distribution width and its association with iron metabolism and other factors in diagnosing and monitoring various anemic and non-anemic conditions, reporting no new clinical findings.

This study highlights the phenotypic variability in 5 patients with Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome carrying the c.436delC mutation, suggesting a broader range of clinical presentations than previously recognized.

This study found that the observed isotropic ss-ECD spectrum of finasteride is influenced by the anisotropy of locally oriented crystals, offering new possibilities for analyzing solid-state chiral materials.

This study found that dietary supplementation with 0.2% MSM improved hair quality in kittens and had no significant negative effects on their growth performance, antioxidant capacity, or gut microbiota.

This case series reports favorable outcomes for children with Parry Romberg Syndrome who underwent facial fat-grafting, showing it as a safe and well-tolerated procedure with no complications or relapses observed.

This study investigated whether individuals with psoriasis have higher MDS-16 scores and potentially more maladaptive daydreaming compared to healthy individuals.

In this study involving 30 Kazakh women with systemic lupus erythematosus, the researchers found a strong correlation between disease activity (SELENA-SLEDAI scores) and organ damage (SLICC/ACR scores), which depended on disease duration and reliably reflected cumulative disease activity.

In this study, researchers identified a recurrent nonsense mutation, c.409C>T (p.Arg137*), in the COL7A1 gene through whole exome sequencing in a family with autosomal recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, demonstrating the importance of this method for diagnosing genetically complex conditions.

This study found that VPS13C variants are significantly enriched in patients with idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD), associating these variants with more severe symptoms, autonomic dysfunction, and faster progression from iRBD to overt α-synucleinopathy in the iRBD-first disease subtype.

This study introduced a new adaptive microrhizotron for non-destructive observation of pepper root traits, finding that specific installation patterns significantly enhanced root interception probability while effectively measuring root architecture for plant research.

In this study, researchers found that both the EU-TIRADS and Bethesda systems exhibited high specificity but suboptimal sensitivity for predicting thyroid nodule malignancy in patients who underwent surgery, with Bethesda system showing particularly high specificity in this postoperative population.

This study found that treatment with ritlecitinib led to significant scalp hair regrowth in patients with alopecia areata at Weeks 24 and 48, with higher response rates observed in those receiving 50 mg compared to 30 mg doses.

In this case report, a 20-year-old male with tricho-rhino-phalangeal syndrome was found to have a de novo frameshift mutation in the TRPS1 gene, highlighting the challenges in diagnosing this rare disorder.

This case report describes a 4.5-year-old boy with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome linked to X-linked recessive ichthyosis, where remission was achieved using cyclosporine, suggesting STS deficiency as a potential genetic cause of the condition.

This study found that Samhwang-Sasimtang herbal extract may enhance hair growth in mice, as indicated by increased hair follicle activity and reduced growth inhibition factors compared to a control.

This study demonstrates a method to noninvasively assess lipid classes in rodent sebum via high-field proton NMR, observing significant lipid reductions in rats treated with an SCD1 inhibitor.

In this study, Dodatek A operationalizes the Functional Androgen Axis framework by defining three system-level indices and an efficiency metric to describe androgen function, incorporating key methodological improvements and acknowledging significant limitations for future empirical validation.

This animal study found that Prunus armeniaca L. seed oil improved inflammatory markers, oxidative stress levels, and skin structure in DNFB-induced seborrheic dermatitis in rats, suggesting its potential role in managing this condition.

This study found that in sheep, the microRNA oar-miR-377 regulates hair follicle development by targeting the SLC24A2 gene, and identified a genetic variation associated with wool quality, suggesting potential markers for breeding.

This study developed a new method using ultrahigh-power sonication and mass spectrometry to improve protein extraction from hair shafts, identifying 239 differentially expressed proteins related to fetal growth restriction, which were validated as potential noninvasive biomarkers for perinatal diagnostics.

A specific gene variant is linked to heart disease, increased heart muscle, curly hair, and thick skin on palms and soles.

RCS-01 is safe and may help rejuvenate aging skin.

This review discusses the critical parameters for MALDI IMS sample preparation in skin analysis and highlights its applications in wound healing, neoplasia, and infection research, but reports no new clinical results.

This review describes the genetic and phenotypic diversity of Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome, highlighting new DCAF17 gene variants and their varying clinical implications.

This study describes a novel hairless mutant rat strain, F344-Hr(krh), developed via ENU mutagenesis, which provides a model for skin disease and potentially focal glomerulosclerosis due to specific genetic mutations.
