This study developed lipid-core nanocapsules for encapsulating menthol, improving its solubility and thermal stability, and demonstrated their safety and rapid skin absorption in ex vivo tests, highlighting potential applications for cosmeceuticals.

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 developed a mouse model to monitor hair follicle cycling macroscopically through live bioluminescence imaging, enabling detailed analysis of hair cycle and propagation dynamics influenced by environmental factors.

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.

In this study, researchers used advanced four-dimensional optical imaging techniques to observe changes in skin afflicted with acne, finding increased epidermal thickness, keratinized hair follicles, inflammation, and aggregated blood flow, helping to distinguish between inflammation and reparative phases of acne progression.

This chapter reviews the anatomy and structure of hair, discusses hair damage and analyses, and explores methods for processing hair changes, but presents no new research findings.

This study presented a case of tinea capitis in a 4-year-old without typical symptoms and traced the infection to Microsporum canis carried by domestic cats, highlighting the need for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment, especially in households with pets.

This study identified new geometric and mechanical parameters for curly and kinky/coily hair, which may inform more effective personal care products tailored to these hair types.

This chapter reviews hair anatomy, hair shaft structure, and various cosmetic treatments that can alter or damage hair, but it presents no new research findings.

This review updates on various methods for hair and scalp examination, encompassing non-invasive, semi-invasive, and invasive techniques, and reports no new results.

This review discusses the evolution and potential of non-invasive imaging techniques for diagnosing scalp diseases, highlighting their advantages and limitations compared to trichoscopy and scalp biopsy, the current diagnostic standards.

This case report describes instances of lipedematous scalp and lipedematous alopecia in white adults, indicating these rare conditions may be more widespread and frequent in this population than previously thought.

This review examines non-invasive methods for diagnosing inflammatory skin diseases like lupus erythematosus and psoriatic inflammation using samples from plucked hair and skin tape-strips, but no new clinical results are presented.

This study used infrared spectroscopic imaging and scanning electron microscopy to reveal that alopecic hair has more irregular laminated structures and differing chemical profiles than normal hair, suggesting changes related to alopecia progression.

This study demonstrates that MPM-FLIM multimodal imaging can effectively assess the delivery and dissolution of zinc pyrithione particles in human skin follicles using different application techniques.

In this study, researchers developed a three-dimensional ultrastructural analysis tool using serial block-face scanning electron microscopy to reveal detailed nerve networks and muscle structures in human skin tissues, demonstrating the technique's potential to study structural changes in aging or disease.

A thorough initial check-up is essential before sperm banking to ensure the best chance of preserving good quality sperm.

This study demonstrated that using a mass spectrometry imaging technique, researchers were able to visualize the incorporation of argan, avocado, and coconut oils into hair fibers, suggesting their potential in cosmetic and alopecia treatments by confirming oil absorption and fiber modification.

This study demonstrated that epidermal neural crest stem cells and bone marrow-derived stem cells migrated toward inflammatory brain lesions in rats and were successfully tracked using noninvasive MRI.

This study explored a multidimensional approach to examine body hairs' physico-chemical properties, potentially supporting their use over scalp hairs in forensic and intoxication studies.

In this study, silver nanoparticles derived from Ziziphus nummularia leaf extract showed enhanced antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant, and hair growth properties compared to the leaf extract itself.

This study found that washing hair with surfactants reduces the internal density of hair due to cuticle lifting, and suggests that a cuticle-sealing strategy can inhibit this effect and maintain hair homeostasis.

This study found that hair follicle stem cells can proliferate and differentiate into keratinocytes on chitosan skin-engineered templates, suggesting potential applications in regenerative medicine.

This study found that nanodiamonds of various sizes can penetrate different layers of murine skin in vitro, reaching hair follicle niches, and may be suitable for multimodal imaging applications.

This study found that chemically treated hair, particularly when subjected to both acid straightening and bleaching, experiences more significant structural damage when exposed to heat, highlighting key changes in both the internal and surface components of hair fibers.

This study found that using 369LAB Lipid Bond, derived from plant oil triglycerides, can restore lipid content in damaged hair to natural levels and improve hair strength, integrity, and resilience after a single application, with benefits persisting even after discontinuation.

In this study, a bleaching protocol was developed to evaluate hair repair products, revealing that K18® and Olaplex® improve hair brightness and lightness, with distinct impacts on hair fiber properties.

This study found that Shengfu oil may enhance wound healing in scalded rabbit skin by regulating proteins β-catenin, Dlk1, and COX-2, due to its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antimicrobial properties.

In this study, calcium imaging in transgenic mice revealed that non-neuronal TRPV4 in the skin enhances afferent signaling during electrical stimulation, suggesting a role for neuroimmune interaction in acupuncture signal initiation.

This study evaluated a hair mask containing rice germ oil GX-N and ferulic acid on damaged hair and found that rice germ oil GX-N improved hair characteristics after bleaching, UV, and heat exposure, but adding ferulic acid did not provide extra benefits.
