This study found that maintaining tension-force balance in a human skin equivalent improved characteristics of skin homeostasis and structure, suggesting potential as an alternative to animal models for studying skin physiology.

This study observed that different hair types on Tianzhu white yaks have similar ultrastructures, but coarse hair fibers show distinct structural differences across body parts.

This study found that improved outcomes in scalp surgery were achieved by utilizing knowledge of the surgical anatomy of the scalp to avoid complications like unsightly scars and distorted hair patterns.

This study developed a hair-on-a-chip model that supports the maturation of hair-follicle-like tissue under long-term culture conditions, suggesting its promise for studying hair regeneration and testing scalp-targeted therapies.

This study used ultrahigh-resolution optical coherence tomography to observe hair shaft structures, finding melanin granules absent only in white hair, which may explain color differences between black and white hair.

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 case report highlights a rare occurrence of squamous cell carcinoma developing at the site of synthetic hair implantation many years later, emphasizing the need for vigilance when examining chronic scalp lesions in patients with such procedures.

This study found that genes in the human keratin-associated protein 1 family may have evolved mainly through gene duplication of cysteine-repeat motifs.

This article reviews various diagnostic tools for hair disorders, describing methods ranging from invasive to noninvasive, but reports no new research findings or clinical results.

This study found that a hair follicle-like structure forms in nude mice when hair papilla cells are mixed with hair follicle epithelium and implanted, but not with dermal sheath cells or fibroblasts.

This study found that while molecular hair structures were nearly identical across individuals, genetic factors seem to influence specific lipid compositions, as seen in identical-patterned hair from parent-child pairs and identical twins, but not fraternal twins.

This study found that horizontal sections of scalp biopsies in patients with Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia often reveal follicular miniaturization, inflammation, and scarring, which can guide personalized treatment.

This article reviews how various chemical agents affect human hair and skin, suggesting the need for more research on their pharmacologic and dermatologic effects; it does not report new experimental results.

This study found that pubic hair from Korean males has a thicker cuticle layer with more scales compared to scalp hair, offering better protection against chemical damage, and hypothesizes this evolved as a defense mechanism against exposure to urine and ammonia.

This study identified the expression sites of five KAP5 genes on human chromosome 11q13.5 in scalp skin sections but did not explore their detailed distribution within hair follicles.

In this study, researchers found that neonate hairs have a distinct microstructure with no medulla and smaller hair follicles compared to adult hairs.

Reflectance confocal microscopy can tell apart white dots on the scalp as either sweat gland ducts or hair follicle openings.

This article reviews a broad range of topics related to human hair and scalp conditions, including assessment techniques and treatment approaches, without presenting new research findings.

This study found that women with AIDS had significantly reduced epithelial thickness and more telogen hair follicles on the scalp compared to women without AIDS.

This study found that ablative fractional carbon dioxide laser treatment improved skin fibrosis, reduced skin hardening, and enhanced hair follicle growth in localized scleroderma patients, with significant improvements across several clinical measures and no severe adverse effects observed.

This review discusses the unique characteristics and disorders of Asian hair, emphasizing the need for more comprehensive studies in this area.

This study found that erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp is frequently misdiagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma, highlighting the need for careful differentiation to avoid unnecessary treatments.

This study found that erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp is often misdiagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma, highlighting the importance of biopsy for accurate diagnosis.

This review discusses the impact of chemotherapy-induced alopecia on cancer patients, the current use of scalp cooling for prevention, and potential future treatments, but presents no new clinical results.

This review explores theories on the evolution of hair from synapsid scales and glands, proposing mechanisms supported by comparative studies, but reports no new experimental findings.

Mother and son diagnosed with a rare genetic hair loss condition with no effective treatment.

This study concluded that bleach treatment partly transforms the hydrophobic top layer of human hair cuticles into a hydrophilic surface with clustered cysteic acid, visualized at the nano-scale using dynamic Chemical Force Microscopy.

This review discusses the effects of vacuum massage on skin structures and concludes that there is insufficient evidence for its efficacy in treating burn scars, suggesting more research is needed on its potential benefits and mechanisms.

In this study, researchers developed an innovative wound healing patch combining electrical and chemical components, which effectively guided recovery in animal scald models by promoting collagen deposition and the regeneration of skin structures.

This study suggests that the structure and function of the inner root sheath in mammalian hair may have evolved from simpler forms seen in monotremes, aiding in hair exit without damaging the epidermis.
