This study found that laboratory-formulated natural shampoos condition hair better than commercial herbal shampoos, as shown by SEM micrograph analysis of hair microstructure.

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 study introduced a novel, weakly supervised method for segmenting hair in Scanning Electron Microscope images using simple image-level annotations, achieving over 30% improvement in mean Hausdorff Distance compared to Unet and SAM, while enhancing interpretability and refinement.

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This notice states that the article has been withdrawn due to the journal's transfer to a new publisher and reports no research findings.

This study found significant structural and compositional differences in hair affected by alopecia areata compared to healthy hair, using a range of physico-chemical investigation methods.

This study found that using henna dye positively affected hair cuticula pattern and diameters compared to undyed hair, though the degree of change may vary based on hair phenotype and condition prior to treatment.

This in-vitro study reported that a luliconazole-based formulation improved hair cuticle integrity and was more effective than ketoconazole in repairing damaged hair after 5 and 10 washes, with sensory analysis supporting these results. Further human studies are needed to confirm its clinical effects.

This study is the first to document alopecia in Guadalupe fur seals in the Northeast Pacific Ocean, finding that it may result from nutritional stress due to higher sea surface temperatures.

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 study used quantitative methods to identify new geometric and mechanical parameters of curly and kinky/coily hair, aiming to improve classification and develop better personal care products for these hair types.

This study found that postmortem root banding in hair is likely due to the degradation of the intermacrofibrillar matrix in the cortex, with no damage to the cuticle observed.

This article discusses the organizational aspects of the II National Academic Congress of Dermatology in Brazil and reports no new research findings.

This study found that Piezo2 channels are primarily located on sensory axon membranes in mechanosensory end organs, supporting a model where mechanical stimuli activate Aβ RA-LTMR neurons via axon protrusions.

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.

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.

This study found that a fibroin-based cosmetic ingredient improved the mechanical properties and cuticle repair of African-American and Caucasian hair types, even when damaged by chemical treatments.

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

In this study, desmopressin-loaded elastic liposomes (ODEL1) showed improved permeation and drug deposition across rat skin by altering the skin's cohesive energies and causing reversible changes on its surface.

In this study, researchers used SEM/SDD-EDS to identify waterborne minerals like calcium and aluminum in the scalp hair cuticle of individuals using treated or untreated water for hair washing, finding that prior application of coconut oil or conditioners can prevent calcium uptake.

This study found that in a rat model, minoxidil promoted better wound healing through potential anagen hair growth effects, while dexamethasone suppressed wound healing by reducing collagen production.

This study observed that a peptide showed higher antioxidant and metal ion chelation activity compared to its encapsulated version cross-linked in calcium alginate beads.

In this study, a bioengineered construct using a biodegradable polycaprolactone mat cocultured with human keratinocyte and rabbit dermal fibroblast cells demonstrated potential as a tissue-engineered skin substitute, showing good cell adhesion and growth.

This study describes the development of polyamide 6 composite fibers with amber filler, finding them suitable for use in medical textiles such as compression garments due to their biocompatibility with skin cells.

This study found that ZnO nanoparticles in topical skin products do not penetrate beyond the outer skin layers in humans, suggesting minimal safety concerns for subdermal absorption.

This study found that mink pelts with "singe" and "red hip" defects often exhibit split hair tips and altered cuticle structures, which may contribute to their undesired metallic sheen.

This study found that the nanostructured lipid carrier gel containing minoxidil showed good consistency and a prolonged drug release in vitro, suggesting potential for treating alopecia.

This summary highlights key contents of the latest issue of the Austrian dermatology journal, SKIN, including coverage of the ÖADF conference program, introduction of a "Phlebology Certificate," and new SKINdeep open-access articles.

This study concluded that polymeric nanoparticles effectively targeted hair follicles for drug delivery, but the organogel formulation did not enhance their penetration into the hair shaft.
