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 survey reported that Americans often view hair loss as affecting their attractiveness and consider hair transplantation a valuable option, with women willing to pay more than men despite being less likely to undergo the procedure.

In this study, the researchers found that awareness of appearance due to hair loss positively impacted hair loss management behaviors through self-awareness and psychological factors, but appearance management intention did not influence care behaviors.

This article discusses baricitinib, a JAK1 and JAK2 inhibitor, as an approved and promising treatment for alopecia areata but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the use of human-to-mouse xenografting to study human skin processes in vivo, highlighting its importance for understanding skin regeneration and pathology while identifying knowledge gaps and challenges in applying these findings to human skin.

This study reported a high prevalence of dermatological conditions among university students in Sri Lanka, with self-reported acne being the most common and associated with significant psychological distress; more than half of the participants consulted a doctor for their skin issues.

In this integrative review, the researchers found that hair transplantation can significantly improve psychosocial outcomes for male patients with androgenetic alopecia, enhancing their appearance, self-esteem, social functioning, and overall quality of life.

In this study, researchers highlighted the complexity of managing psychocutaneous disorders, emphasizing the need for a multidisciplinary approach involving dermatologists, psychiatrists, family physicians, and social support to address associated psychiatric diagnoses, risk factors like suicide, and ensure effective treatment.

In this study, pair housing of rhesus macaques after intrafacility transfer reduced some undesirable behaviors and diarrhea compared to single housing, although no cortisol level differences were observed.

This literature review reports prevalent sexual dysfunctions, notably vaginal dryness, in women undergoing endocrine therapy for hormone-dependent breast cancer, highlighting the need for more multidisciplinary research and care to improve patient well-being.

This review discusses the complex nature of telogen effluvium linked to COVID-19 and highlights the effectiveness of correcting triggers and protein-rich diets in reducing hair loss; it reports no new clinical findings.

This study explored how chronic hair pulling behavior serves as a coping mechanism among African American women, particularly through the lens of eroticism, but reports on narratives rather than clinical results.

This study introduces a novel method for capturing and digitally rendering the color appearance of physical hair samples using deep neural networks.

This study found that GDNF promotes hair formation and wound repair in mice by enhancing the function of bulge stem cells.

In this study, researchers discovered that the HrasG12V oncogenic mutation in murine skin epithelial cells initially promotes progenitor cell renewal but later leads to a balanced differentiation, stabilizing clone growth.

In this study, researchers observed that oncogenic HrasG12V in single murine epidermal cells leads to an initial increase in progenitor cell renewal, but ultimately results in balanced cell fate choices that limit clone growth.

This study evaluated amphiphilic self-assembling peptides as drug delivery systems and found they effectively ensured prolonged release and therapeutic efficacy for timolol in glaucoma and for chemotherapy agents in cancer treatment, with significant tumor size reduction observed in animal models.

This review discusses alopecia in nonhuman primates in research settings and reports no new findings, emphasizing documentation and therapeutic intervention importance during regulatory inspections.

This study found that hyaluronic acid increased the size and cell proliferation of mixed aggregates in a 3D culture model, indicating its role in human hair follicle germ-like structure formation without enhancing dermal papilla cell markers.

In this study, women with alopecia areata reported varied psychological impacts ranging from minor disturbance to significant distress and life changes due to their hair loss experiences.

This study explored how septuagenarians and octogenarians responded hedonically to natural cosmetics that were marketed as making them feel younger and more attractive, using a simple satisfaction questionnaire.

In this study, the relaxed overhand knot method demonstrated its effectiveness in measuring the self-friction coefficient of single hair fibers, revealing that sodium hydroxide treatment significantly increases friction and could aid microsurgical applications.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome often experience isolation, helplessness, resilience, and grief, suggesting a need for better support during diagnosis and treatment to improve wellbeing.

This article explores the social and psychological factors driving male body hair grooming and the psychosocial effects of both hair removal and male pattern balding, without reporting new clinical findings.

This review discusses the evolving understanding of epithelial stem cells, noting how new models challenge old assumptions and suggesting multiple stem cell populations contribute differently to skin and hair follicle regeneration.

This study found a strong correlation between hair loss conditions, particularly alopecia areata, and poor sleep quality and anxiety, particularly affecting younger populations and females.

This review highlights the therapeutic potential of various skin stem cell populations for tissue repair and regenerative medicine, but presents no new clinical findings.

This study found that oral Finasteride therapy at doses of 1-5mg can significantly reverse hair loss in men with androgenic alopecia.

This study found that mouse hair follicle stem cells use symmetric cell division for maintenance and fate determination, and identified Gata6 as a crucial factor for their differentiation.

The document concludes that treating skin conditions should include psychological care and a multidisciplinary approach is essential for effective management.
