This review re-examines hair blowouts as a material science process, where water acts as a plasticizer altering keratin's glass-transition temperature, allowing for temporary hair shaping through a moisture-induced matrix state change under heat and tension.

In this study, researchers found that the curliness of human hair is associated with an asymmetric structure at the cellular level, particularly in the differentiation of the precortex.

In this study, researchers developed a predictive model for the onset of alopecia areata by analyzing six datasets to identify key feature genes and employing various machine learning algorithms, ultimately finding the XGBoost model most effective for clinical application.

This study found that FDA-cleared devices for preparing platelet-rich plasma showed inconsistent product quality, with variable platelet counts and inadequate quality control performance, suggesting clinical improvement may not rely on platelet concentration.

This study found that the increasing visits to online prescription platforms for MQ-based finasteride treatment in androgenetic alopecia suggest a significant shift in medical care towards digital health services.

This study suggests that fibroblast growth factors FGF-4, FGF-8, and FGF-9 may play redundant roles as signals in epithelial-mesenchymal interactions during multiple stages of tooth development in mice.

In this study, researchers identified 18 genetic associations with scalp and facial hair traits in Latin Americans, including novel loci for hair greying and balding, with implications for understanding hair evolution.

This study describes the development of the BASP classification system, providing a universal and systematic approach for classifying pattern hair loss in both men and women.

This study found that dermal papilla cells from human hair follicles form multi-layered aggregates when cultured in vitro, contrasting with the monolayer growth of dermal fibroblasts.

This review discusses the roles of metabolism, reactive oxygen species, intracellular pH, and cell morphology in influencing cell fate decisions during stem cell differentiation but reports no new experimental results.

This article examines differences in aging among ethnic populations and highlights cosmetic procedures specific to skin of color, but reports no new research findings.

This study found that exogenous ochronosis from hydroquinone use in melasma treatment has distinctive dermatoscopic features that may aid in diagnosis without needing a biopsy.

This study found that trichoscopy can rapidly and noninvasively diagnose tinea capitis and alopecia areata in pediatric patients by identifying specific hair patterns associated with each condition.

This study classified hairline contours in Asian women and concluded that their refined hair transplantation techniques may help correct wide foreheads with M-shaped or rectangular hairline contours.

In this study, researchers used three-dimensional reconstruction to show that the shape of the hair follicle determines the hair's form, with variations observed among different racial groups.

This review discusses the historical understanding and evolving diagnostic criteria for polycystic ovary syndrome without presenting new clinical findings, highlighting the multifactorial nature and associated risks of the condition.

African hair is more fragile due to its unique shape and internal structure.

This review discusses the various designs of follicular unit excision punches used in hair transplantation without reporting new clinical results; it emphasizes the importance of understanding each punch's benefits and limitations.

This study observed that individuals with mixed ethnicity had hair that varied widely in shape and showed significant surface damage near the root, differing from monoracial hair characteristics.

This review discusses the limitations of current hair classification systems and highlights the need for standardized reporting of key hair characteristics to improve study comparisons; it reports no new results.

This abstract discusses Alopecic and aseptic nodule of the scalp as a rare alopecia condition that may be underdiagnosed and reports doxycycline as a safe and effective treatment option.

In this study, researchers observed the patterns of hair distribution and scalp anatomy in Chinese young adult males, finding significant variations in hairline shape, hair density, and follicular unit structure.

This article reviews various hair transplant techniques and procedures across different ethnic groups but does not provide new clinical results, highlighting the need for tailored approaches in diverse populations.

This study introduces a method for determining the orientation of collagen fibers in skin by analyzing the anisotropic shape of hair pores, which may aid in skin grafting procedures.

This article discusses challenges and limitations of using simple tissue mechanics for repairing head and neck skin defects in trauma and does not report new findings; it highlights potential problems with routine methods.

This review discusses guidelines for hair transplantation tailored to East Asian patients, focusing on hairline design, donor harvesting, and graft techniques, and reports no new clinical results.

This report highlights that trichoscopy is a useful, non-invasive tool for diagnosing tinea capitis in children, particularly in areas where lab facilities are limited.

Congenital triangular alopecia can occur outside the typical fronto-temporal region.

The researchers reported that identifying specific hair shaft abnormalities is crucial for distinguishing patchy/plaque mycosis fungoides from psoriasis and eczematous dermatitis on non-scalp skin using dermoscopy.

This review reports that nail changes such as onycholysis, thin nails, and brittleness are associated with thyroid disorders, highlighting their importance in the early diagnosis of these conditions.
