This study developed a quantitative measure for scoring hair surface damage from SEM images and found it accurately classified hair damage caused by explosive blasts, similar to an existing classification system.

This study found that a shampoo containing quaternized wheat protein hydrolysate can effectively improve hair recovery by smoothing and compacting damaged hair surfaces, thanks to modifications that enhance protein adherence and disulfide bond formation at pH levels typical in hair care products.

In this study, applying case-only trees and random forests to a prostate cancer prevention trial revealed genotypes that may influence the efficacy of finasteride for prostate cancer prevention.

Chocolate has potential health benefits.

The book discussed in this abstract is a comprehensive guide to hair analysis, detailing the latest methods and applications across various fields such as toxicology and drug monitoring, designed for both newcomers and experts in the field.

This article reviews the potential link between botulinum toxin treatment and alopecia but provides no new research findings.

This book chapter reviews the regulatory frameworks for natural products used as cosmeceuticals across various countries, noting that major markets like the EU and USA influence emerging markets such as Japan, China, and India, which are now establishing or updating their own regulations.

Nails are a useful alternative to hair for analyzing long-term substance exposure.

This book discusses the development and applications of peptide-based biomaterials for healthcare, but it reports no new research findings.

This review discusses recent physiological and genetic advances in understanding tip growth in Arabidopsis thaliana root hairs and reports no new experimental results.

This study developed a multiscale model to understand human hair fiber mechanics and found that the yield stress decreases linearly with temperature, supported by both simulations and experimental stretching of hair fibers.

This study found that the keratin matrix in mammalian hard α-keratins is crucial for maintaining stiffness in water by controlling intermediate filament hydration.

This case report aims to raise physician awareness about 'toe-tourniquet' syndrome, which can lead to digit loss if not promptly treated, and to prevent its misdiagnosis as child abuse.

This study found that the X-ray patterns of stretched mammalian hair (β-keratin) are similar to those of natural silk (fibrion), suggesting a similar elastic mechanism involving reversible intra-molecular transformations.

This review covers recent developments in materials for in vitro and in vivo stem cell manipulation, highlighting innovative substrate properties but does not report new experimental results.

This study demonstrates that modeling clone size independently of time offers analytical advantages for understanding cell distribution and mutation frequency in epithelial progenitors, extending applications beyond neutral models.

An elderly woman's swollen, painful foot was found to be caused by a rare type of bone lymphoma, which improved with radiation treatment.

This study found that keratin intermediate filaments in the hair of GAN patients are altered, showing decreased diffraction signals and increased stiffness, strength, and extensibility.

Children's hair loss has many causes and requires careful diagnosis and personalized treatment, including emotional support.

Untreated Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia can cause severe hair loss due to high androgen levels.

This study found that humans have a significantly slower wound-healing rate compared to non-human primates and other animals, suggesting that slow wound healing is a characteristic unique to humans within the primate order and potentially indicating evolutionary adaptations.

Crohn's disease can cause hair loss before other symptoms appear.

Antiandrogen therapy may be beneficial for women with hidradenitis suppurativa.

This article reports that mutations in the PADI3 gene, affecting its activity or localization, cause uncombable hair syndrome and are linked to central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, particularly among women of African ancestry.

This study identified novel isoforms of the PADI2 and PADI3 proteins, showing that PADI2β inhibits oligodendrocyte differentiation, possibly by opposing the effect of canonical PADI2, while PADI3β modulates the activity of PADI3α, suggesting new regulatory mechanisms of citrullination in tissue development.

This article reviews depictions of baldness in art and notes its symbolic connections to depression, with no new research findings presented.

A three-year-old girl survived a rare serious infection caused by BCG vaccination, which improved after treatment with a leprosy drug.

The book is a detailed guide on hair and scalp diseases, useful for dermatopathologists.

This case report describes a 64-year-old woman with male pattern hair loss and elevated testosterone levels, who was diagnosed with an androgen-secreting adrenal tumor and successfully treated with laparoscopic adrenalectomy.

This review of Leon Sperling's Atlas of Hair Pathology discusses the visual and diagnostic value of its comprehensive coverage on hair and scalp diseases but reports no new clinical findings.
