In this study, silver nanoparticles prepared using Ziziphus nummularia fruit extract showed higher hair growth activity and were more effective against Gram-positive bacteria compared to other extracts.

This study reports the synthesis of a hectorite/phenanthroline nanomaterial which acts as a potential fluorescent sensor for detecting Zn ions in water, offering a solution to the low solubility issue of traditional metal ion-detecting molecules.

This study found that a chitosan-based hydrogel containing silver nanoparticles and ibuprofen demonstrated strong antibacterial activity and accelerated wound healing in vivo, suggesting its potential use in wound dressings.

This study reports a method for fabricating biofunctional polymer fibers by using DNA-programmable cell-free protein synthesis integrated through solution blow spinning, enabling in situ protein production and potential applications in respirators, sampling swabs, and other advanced materials.

This study demonstrated that a multifunctional hydrogel containing Prussian blue nanozymes and an ultrasound-responsive nitric oxide donor improved healing in diabetic wounds by reducing oxidative stress, promoting angiogenesis, and enhancing tissue repair in animal models.

This review discusses the possible link between cosmeceuticals and frontal fibrosing alopecia but reports no conclusive findings; the authors stress further research on environmental triggers is needed.

This review explores the potential of metal nanoparticles as innovative treatments for alopecia, highlighting their effectiveness in promoting hair regrowth, enhancing drug delivery, and modulating gene expression while also assessing the related experimental methodologies and regulatory considerations.

In this study, researchers observed that even a single session of hair dyeing can damage hair fibers, with significant worsening of mechanical properties and protein composition after three or more consecutive treatments, emphasizing the need to consider the cumulative impacts of dyeing on hair health.

This study systematically characterized the nanomechanical properties of human hair, such as hardness and elastic modulus, across different ethnicities and treatment conditions using nanoindentation and scanning electron microscopy.

This study assessed whether the elemental composition of human hair could serve as a marker for kidney stones, cholelithiasis, hypertension, and diabetes, but it reports only variations in element content along hair regions.

Polyquaternium 7® builds up on hair, improving its look and feel, and AFM is good for measuring these changes.

In this study, the researchers found that a manual micrometer caliper is a reliable tool for planning hair transplant surgery and accurately measures the short axis of the hair shaft.

This study investigated the effects of different relaxer treatments on African-American hair, finding lab-made relaxer solutions caused less damage to hair topography than commercial systems.

This study found that rebonding hair straightening treatments visibly damage the hair cuticle, causing surface erosion and cracks, as shown through Scanning Electron Microscopy analysis.

In this study, researchers used scanning electron microscopy to analyze hair damage from 3% hydrogen peroxide and UVB radiation, observing that Caesalpinia sappan hair tonic formulations coated and interacted with the hair cuticle, potentially modifying hair fiber damage.

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.

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 study observed that individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus have notably lower levels of essential and trace elements like Calcium, Potassium, and Zinc in biological samples compared to non-diabetic controls.

This study presents a DNA-analytical method that can reliably identify and differentiate cashmere, fine wool, yak, and camel hair fibers in both untreated and processed samples.

This study observed that prolonged water or soil exposure can lead to significant reductions in drug levels in bleached and natural hair samples.

The authors reviewed cases of six children with both hair-shaft abnormalities and neurological disorders, noting that such hair defects may indicate neurological conditions, including potentially treatable metabolic errors.

This study developed an objective standard grading system for evaluating hair damage using scanning and transmission electron microscopy.

This study found that excessive heat caused the most significant structural changes in hair from Caucasian and Afro samples, especially when combined with other treatments like bleaching and straightening.

This study found that different decontamination protocols caused varying levels of cuticle damage in hair, with aqueous buffer treatment resulting in the most substantial degradation.

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.

This study reported that the treatment of hair with glyoxylic acid straighteners causes major conformational changes within the hair fiber due to interactions between carbonyl and keratin components.

This study found that scanning electron microscopy revealed considerable abnormalities in hair morphology in MPS I, II, IIIA, and IIIB patients, potentially related to heparan sulfate accumulation.

This study suggests that corkscrew hairs in tinea capitis result from internal hair damage by Trichophyton violaceum and external resistance from scalp scales.

This study found that a new 3D image analysis method from SEM images enables quick and accurate measurement of cuticle scale heights in hair fibers.

This review discusses in vitro methods for evaluating the effects of hair care products on hair fibers, reporting no new results; the authors emphasize the importance of selecting appropriate and accurate equipment for testing.
