In this study, combined treatment with transglutaminase and keratin significantly repaired damaged hair by improving its structural properties, reducing swelling, and enhancing crosslink activities, as evidenced by microscopy and spectroscopy analyses.

This study found that integrating Lactobacillus-rich probiotic nutrition and fractional CO₂ laser therapy with clotrimazole in mucoadhesive hydrogels significantly improved clinical and structural outcomes for women with recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis, suggesting a promising advanced therapy, though further validation in larger trials is needed.

This study found that dimethylpabamidopropyl laurdimonium tosylate, a quaternary ammonium surfactant, adsorbs onto human scalp hair with kinetic and isotherm behaviors fitting specific models, changing hair fiber wettability from hydrophobic to hydrophilic.

In this study, researchers identified a collagen fragment, sample-1707, expressed in E. coli, which forms nanofibers and promotes blood clotting, osteoblast differentiation, and skin cell regeneration, making it a promising biomaterial for skin care, with a large-scale production yield of 600 mg/L.

This study found that human hair exhibits significant deformation in its intermediate filaments under strain, with recovery taking about 1000 minutes, suggesting a self-healing period post-mechanical stress. Additionally, cuticle scales deform much less than the cortex, and the Poisson ratio aligns with soft matter properties.

This review provides an overview of the molecular evolution of corneous beta-proteins in reptiles and birds, highlighting their distinct genetic origin and role in epidermal structures, but reports no new results.

This study identified and characterized a gene called 4C32, which is expressed in the periderm of embryonic mouse skin and has a structure similar to keratin-associated proteins.

This study observed that trichoscopic changes associated with EGFRI treatment include pili torti and asymmetric hyperpigmented fusiform widening, along with dermoscopic skin manifestations such as scale and branching vessels.

In this study, the novel thiol-Michael click perming molecule, MA2-CySS, achieved repeatable perming with reduced oxidative damage, preserving hair keratin's structure while maintaining efficiency comparable to traditional oxidative methods.

In this study, treatments using a shampoo and conditioner with hematin helped repair damaged hair by depositing a cuticle-like structure, straightening hair as observed through electron microscopy.

In this case report, a 23-year-old woman developed localized trichorrhexis nodosa after compulsively applying 3% minoxidil to her scalp for two months.

In this study, the use of Selencin, both in tablet and peptide lotion form, over two months showed significant improvements in reducing hair loss and restoring hair structure and volume in patients with diffuse alopecia, with effects persisting up to four months after treatment.

This study outlines that hair styling products, commonly used for temporary transformations, often contain ingredients like surfactants and fragrances that can cause contact dermatitis on the face and scalp.

This study introduced and validated the VESALT, a visual extension of the Severity of Alopecia Tool, finding it offers improved reliability and user-friendliness over SALT by incorporating pattern recognition and broader coverage, including non-scalp regions, in assessing alopecia areata severity.

In this study, ritlecitinib treatment for 12 and 24 weeks downregulated immunity-related genes and upregulated hair keratin genes in patients with alopecia areata, correlating with scalp hair regrowth response.

This review examines the various types of alopecia, their impact on hair growth and appearance, and discusses potential future treatments, by analyzing changes in hair structure and physiology throughout life.

Trichoscopy is a useful non-invasive method for diagnosing different hair loss conditions.

This review summarizes trichoscopic features for diagnosing common hair loss disorders and reports no new clinical results, emphasizing their diagnostic utility in conditions like alopecia areata and trichotillomania.

This paper discusses the challenges of hair transplantation in burn patients due to issues like scar tissue's mechanical properties, but reports no new clinical findings.

The skin's layers protect, sense, and regulate the body's internal balance, but can be prone to cancer.

This study observed that human hair keratin showed distinct morphological features depending on the dissolution speed, which could have potential applications in clinical settings for developing self-tendons.

This review discusses hair follicle organoids as emerging models for studying hair biology and disorders, emphasizing their promise for bridging basic research and clinical applications, but reports no new results.

Hair health is influenced by genetics, aging, and environmental factors, with proper care needed to maintain it.

This case report documents a rare instance of a trichilemmal cyst occurring on the plantar surface of the foot, highlighting the necessity of histological examination for accurate diagnosis when clinical or radiological presentations are atypical.

This review covers various aspects of hair biology, pigmentation, and development, focusing on genetic and biochemical modulation of hair follicle components but reports no new findings.

In this study, retinoic acid treatments induced glandular and feather formation in embryos by altering positional values and activating specific retinoic acid nuclear receptor gene expression.

This review examines emerging biomaterial strategies designed to support both neural regeneration and cutaneous wound healing, emphasizing their potential to improve sensory function through mechanisms like axonal regrowth and vascular network formation, while noting the need for standardized assessments and clinically translatable designs.

In this review, the authors concluded that trichoscopy is a quick, non-invasive, and effective method for diagnosing and monitoring non-scarring alopecia, offering a more precise and faster alternative compared to other diagnostic methods for identifying and managing different types of hair loss.

This study suggests that personality plays a significant role in how psychological factors influence the onset and progression of alopecia areata, as well as its psychosocial impacts.

This study introduced the C-CAT, a new assessment tool for central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, and found that established treatments improved symptoms in most patients over six months.
