This study observed that bacterial communities on scalp hair collected through non-invasive swabbing showed similar diversity and composition to those obtained by cutting or removing hair, suggesting that swabbing is an effective method for microbiome analysis on hair.

In this case study, a comprehensive reconstruction approach using autologous fat grafting, follicular unit excision hair transplantation, and scalp micropigmentation led to significant aesthetic and psychosocial improvements in a male patient with severe facial and scalp burn injuries.

This study found that lipids are highly correlated with hair curvature while proteins are not, reporting the largest number of hair lipids and identifying novel proteins and chaperones relating to different hair types for the first time.

This study found that scalp cooling resulted in visible hair retention in 53% of breast cancer patients undergoing Epirubicin/Cyclophosphamide and Paclitaxel treatment, with factors like hair bulb diameter, shaft diameter, and anagen rate significantly predicting outcomes.

In this study, after long-term observation of human scalp hair follicles over 16 years, the researchers found that a topical 5% minoxidil solution could stimulate hair regrowth after a period of dormancy, though with reduced growth rates and hair diameter.

This study found that bacterial community structures on hair and scalp differ significantly, with distinct abundances of Pseudomonas on hair and Staphylococcus on scalp.

This study reported that albino Wistar rats exposed to chemical hair straighteners showed significant hair fiber damage and scalp skin deterioration, which worsened with repeated and prolonged application, highlighting the cytotoxic potential of these products and potential systemic risks.

In this study, researchers observed that bacterial community structures on human scalp hair are unique to individuals and show consistent patterns across different sampling sites on the scalp, without significant variation between these sites.

This study observed significant differences in hair care practices and biologic hair parameters between Caucasian and African American women, which may contribute to varying hair fragility and growth.

In this study, researchers found that papain-treated or mechanically altered Asian scalp hair fibers allowed for spontaneous ion movement and anthocyanin dye flow through the medulla tube, with dye flow enhanced by applied DC voltage.

This study observed that melanocytes in the outer root sheath of fetal scalp hair follicles may act as stem cells, showing rapid proliferation but immature function and morphology in culture.

This study reported that the calculated and experimental electronic and vibrational properties of minoxidil were in good agreement, providing detailed insights into its molecular structure and thermal behaviors.

This study found that patients with androgenetic alopecia showed distinct scalp bacterial imbalances compared to healthy individuals, which were associated with unhealthy lifestyles. These microbial changes might contribute to follicular inflammation, potentially accelerating hair loss in these patients.

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 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 demonstrates that spatially resolved IR and Raman imaging can effectively reveal the molecular structure and composition of untreated human hair, providing insights into its chemistry and structural integrity.

This study at Shandong Provincial Hospital evaluated interventional embolization for scalp arteriovenous fistulas, finding a cure rate of 85.71% among 21 patients, with swelling as a common postoperative complication, suggesting this method is both effective and safe.

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.

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.

This study conducted in a hair restoration clinic found that using the vertical scalp mobility method resulted in a significantly greater number of hairs available from the donor strip compared to the horizontal method, with an increase of approximately 970 hairs (P < .05).

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 concluded that horizontal sections of scalp biopsy specimens provide more diagnostic information for male pattern androgenetic alopecia than vertical sections and can predict hair regrowth potential following topical minoxidil therapy.

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 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.

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

This source outlines the crucial steps and techniques for conducting scalp biopsies to diagnose cicatricial and non-cicatricial alopecias, emphasizing the importance of proper biopsy site selection, technique, and specimen processing to accurately interpret histopathology and understand related hair follicle disorders.

This review derived guidelines for scalp surgery suggesting improved outcomes when avoiding neurovascular structures, preserving tissue integrity, and maintaining hair direction, but it reports no new clinical results.

This article discusses scalp tissue expansion as a superior reconstructive option for large defects over traditional skin grafts and flap methods, but reports no new clinical outcomes.

This paper reviews Behcet's disease, noting diverse manifestations with oral aphthosis most common, but reports no new results beyond existing surveys and case series.

This book reviews the biology and clinical assessment of both normal and abnormal hair growth, providing a detailed examination of various hair and scalp diseases but reports no new research findings.
