The document describes a method for preparing hair for microscopy by embedding it in plastic, cutting it, and storing it cold before imaging.

In this study, researchers investigated GAGs from the marine invertebrate Microcosmus exasperatus, finding that its polysaccharides possess antitumoral properties without affecting anticoagulant activity. The unique composition shows potential for cancer treatment when combined with existing therapies in future studies.

This study found that using a collagen sponge with lincomycin reduced inflammation and pathogen presence in alveolar osteitis more effectively than iodoform gauze, leading to faster socket healing.

This study found that neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by interval debulking surgery led to better quality of life and lower perioperative morbidity compared to primary debulking surgery in advanced epithelial ovarian cancer patients with high tumor load.

This study demonstrates that confocal laser scanning microscopy can effectively visualize the rapid diffusion and penetration pathway of a dye into the hair follicle in fresh human scalp skin.

This case report describes the successful treatment of Sarcoptes scabiei infestation in rabbits using Ivermectin, Vimeral syrup, and Benzyl Benzoate, resulting in the resolution of clinical signs and elimination of the parasite within four weeks.

The researchers reported that sulfated chitosan-containing sponges can modulate macrophage activity in diabetic wounds, reducing inflammation and promoting angiogenesis and tissue regeneration, which may enhance wound healing outcomes.

This study concluded that the Scalp Photographic Index is a reliable and validated tool for objectively classifying and scoring various scalp conditions.

This study identified a novel SCF mRNA splice variant in white merino sheep skin, which may play a role in hair follicle melanogenesis.

This study using an apertureless scanning near-field optical microscope found that dye restricted to hair's periphery remains mainly on the surface and in the endocuticle.

This study found that Cupiennius salei spiders have specialized mechanosensitive hairs on their legs that adaptively respond to joint movements during walking, suggesting a proprioceptive function.

In this study, Dsc 1 was highly expressed in certain layers of fetal epidermis and hair follicle but not in basal cells or oral mucosa, indicating its potential role in maintaining epithelial integrity.

A new computer tool quickly measures hair thickness differences in people with common types of hair loss.

This review highlighted that in an in vitro setting, 3D spheroid cultures of fish cells offer a promising alternative to traditional monolayer cultures, potentially advancing research in eco-toxicology, immunology, drug screening, and more by better mimicking in vivo conditions.

This review discusses how dermoscopy enhances diagnostic accuracy in hair and scalp disorders, particularly distinguishing between conditions such as cicatricial and non-scarring alopecia, and offers insights into its practical uses in hair transplantation; it reports no new clinical results.

This article reviews the use of dermatoscopy and videodermatoscopy in therapeutic follow-up, noting that videodermatoscopy is a reliable tool despite potential cost issues with high magnifications.

USB videodermatoscopes are a practical and affordable alternative for diagnosing skin conditions.

This study found that the skin and coat scoring protocol for dogs is most reliable when the same person assesses greasiness and glossiness over time.

This study describes a newly identified mite species, Demodex zalophi, found on captive sea lions and highlights its unique traits, including being the first of its kind described in marine mammals.

Trichoscopy is a useful tool for diagnosing hair and scalp disorders.

This case report describes the successful treatment of scedosporiosis-induced cellulitis with voriconazole and intermittent pneumatic compression in a 72-year-old Portuguese woman.

This study found that scurvy is associated with the development of Sjögren's syndrome symptoms, which resolved with ascorbic acid repletion.

This study developed a double-wavelength laser scanning microphotometer to measure hair shaft and follicle absorbance, improving spatial resolution and reducing light scattering effects in vitro.

In this study, Scalp Immersion Proxigraphy (SIP) was shown to produce more accurate measurements of linear hair growth rate than crude phototrichogram techniques, suggesting SIP's suitability for clinical trials monitoring hair growth.

This study identifies a new mutation in the Scd1 gene in a strain of Kunming mice, causing skin and hair defects with the mildest impact among similar mutations.

This study highlights the importance of dermoscopic examinations in accurately diagnosing skin cancer, which can be mistaken for benign seborrheic keratosis, emphasizing the need for trained interpretation to avoid missing malignant lesions.

This study highlights confocal microscopy as a promising, minimally invasive tool for assessing hair morphology and internal structures, making it valuable for cosmetic hair assessments.

In this study, researchers used Google Search ads to gather an open access dataset of 10,408 dermatological images from over 5,000 U.S. internet users, enhancing the diversity and representativeness of skin condition images available for research and artificial intelligence development.

This study used novel methods to detect and map iodine concentrations in pig skin, finding iodine present in the coating, stratum corneum, and tissue around hair follicles.
