This article discusses using cosmetic hair products alongside medical treatments for hair conditions to enhance patient self-esteem and quality of life, without reporting new clinical results.

In this study, wound closure tension following strip surgery for hair restoration varied by strip width, highlighting the importance of minimizing tension to achieve better scarring outcomes.

In this study, researchers found that specific enzyme activities in young females' hair follicles were correlated with changes in hair shaft structure and properties, and permanent waving was associated with chemical changes that suggest hair damage.

This study found that aging in Korean individuals is associated with changes in hair diameter and surface structure, as observed through atomic force microscopy.

This study concluded that Polyquaternium-10 conditioner softens the surface of the scale face on hair fibers.

In this study, researchers used atomic force microscopy to capture and analyze morphological changes in the surface of healthy hair, identifying features such as pitting and rod-shaped macro-fibrillar elements, which could inform future research on hair conditions and care.

In this study, researchers found that patients who previously had hair restoration surgery by a different surgeon were more likely to experience postoperative hyperesthesia.

This study observed distinct dermoscopic features in pityriasis versicolor that could aid in its differentiation from similar skin disorders.

This study suggests that peri-incisional triamcinolone acetonide may subtly benefit wound edge apposition in low-tension scalp regions during hair restoration surgery, but shows no statistically significant overall effect.

This study used atomic force microscopy to identify significant morphological differences in hair from patients with lichen planopilaris compared to healthy controls, noting more scratches, uneven edges, and pitted scales in affected hair, which may aid future research on the condition.

Chemical treatments can change the scale heights of wool and cashmere fibers, affecting their identification.

Hair care practices like using relaxers and tight braiding can lead to permanent hair loss in black women.

This study found that transverse sections of scalp biopsies showing lower anagen:non-anagen hair ratios and presence of pigment casts help differentiate alopecia areata from androgenetic alopecia.

Double trichophytic closure effectively repairs thin scalp scars, reducing financial burden.

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 article discusses the structure and protective function of pangolin scales, emphasizing their composition of α-keratins and β-keratins, and highlights evolutionary keratin diversification in tetrapods; it reports no new empirical findings.

This study reported that methanolic extracts of Capparis decidua fruits showed significant in vitro thrombolytic activity, suggesting their potential as a dietary health supplement for preventing thrombotic cardiovascular diseases.

This study found that methanolic extracts from Capparis decidua fruits showed significant in vitro clot lysis activity, indicating potential as a safer anti-thrombotic alternative, but more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness in vivo.

This review highlights the advantages of a new "Multi-Wave Punch" for follicular unit extraction in hair transplantation, noting its design reduces follicular damage and improves graft quality by effectively separating hair follicles from surrounding tissue.

This article discusses a strip donor harvesting technique for hair transplantation and reports no clinical results; the author highlights the importance of anatomical knowledge for successful scar excision.

This study identified specific markers that can distinguish between stem cells in different regions of human scalp hair follicles, offering potential strategies for cell sorting and purification based on these markers.

A 70-year-old man with skin cancer on both sides of his forehead was treated with surgery and cryotherapy, highlighting the need for early detection and prevention.

This study found that rhodamine B penetrated human hair fibers more effectively from an aqueous solution compared to a methanol/ethanol solvent, with penetration depending on hair morphology.

This case report describes a Thai male with TRPS1 who exhibited unique and unreported features such as hypoplastic mandibular condyles, double mental foramina, and distinctive hair abnormalities.

In this study, researchers developed a new variant of the Mercedes flap with releasing incisions for reconstructing medium-sized scalp defects, demonstrating complete defect closure without complications in three patients following a single operation with excellent aesthetic outcomes.

This review describes an improved scalp reduction technique that removes two to three times more bald skin than previous methods, utilizing wide undermining, serial relaxing incisions, and adrenocorticosteroids.

This review discusses the diagnosis of alopecia in psoriasis, highlighting different hair loss types and the need to distinguish it from similar conditions, but reports no new clinical results.

This study reported that a new surgical technique resulted in minimal scars visible to the naked eye in most cases, suggesting a significant improvement over conventional closure techniques.

This study presents a new surgical technique that frequently results in minimal scars visible to the naked eye, marking a significant improvement over traditional methods.

The researchers recommend considering porokeratosis as a possible diagnosis for scalp lesions since accurate identification is crucial for management and new treatments like topical cholesterol/lovastatin show promising potential for treating porokeratosis.
