This study found that a cream containing 6.0% Stryphnodendron adstringens bark extract effectively reduced terminal hair growth and improved skin conditions in women with excessive terminal hair.

In this study, the researchers discovered that specific polyamine depletion enhances stemness in hair follicle stem cells through a mechanism independent of mRNA translation.

This study reports that a widespread founder SERPINB7 mutation underlies Nagashima-type palmoplantar keratosis, which is a common form of palmoplantar keratosis in Asian populations.

This study demonstrates the potential of infrared spectral imaging to assess hair follicle structures and heparan sulfate proteoglycan distribution across different phases of the hair growth cycle, offering promise for alopecia research.

The researchers reviewed cepharanthine, a long-used bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid, for its antiviral properties, including significant inhibition of SARS-CoV-2. They discussed cepharanthine's other pharmacological actions, highlighted plasma membrane fluidity as a key antiviral mechanism, and examined its safety, bioavailability, and potential for new clinical applications.

In this study, a hydrogel loaded with SHP099 was shown to improve wound healing by targeting different cell types during various stages of the healing process.

In this study, researchers found that increased hydrogen sulfide levels in Arabidopsis disrupted actin dynamics through S-sulfhydration, leading to the depolymerization of actin filaments and inhibited root hair growth.

In this study, a combination of terbinafine and mitotane was used to treat a dog with pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism and dermatophytosis, showing regrowth of hair and negative fungal cultures without detectable adverse effects.

This study suggests that macrophages, especially CD206+ subsets, play a key role in hair growth induced by squaric acid dibutyl ester, a therapy used for alopecia areata.

This study identified somatostatin as a potential secretory factor contributing to the immune privilege of human hair follicles.

This study observed Malassezia hyphae in the keratotic plugs of healthy individuals, which contrasts with previous findings of these hyphae primarily in lesions of pityriasis versicolor patients.

This review discusses the role and interactions of the calcium-binding protein S100A6 in cellular processes and its association with various diseases, highlighting the need for further research to fully understand its biological impact.

In this study, researchers examined two new cases of trichothiodystrophy and observed that the condition is linked to decreased synthesis of high-sulfur matrix proteins in hair.

This study determined the broad class and molecular species of glycerophospholipids in Eastern red bat sebum, highlighting differences from previous bat lung surfactant studies.

This article reports a case of trichothiodystrophy in a 7-year-old girl with sulfur deficiency in her hair, characterized by sparse, slow-growing hair and distinctive tiger tail banding under microscopy.

This study identified that in mice, sweat gland development is directed by mesenchymal signals that suppress SHH-production, while in humans, this occurs through a BMP spike in embryonic development.

This study highlights the medicinal applications of the plant Hedychium spicatum, noting its use in traditional medicine for various ailments and its extracts' bioactive properties, such as anticancer, antibacterial, and hepatoprotective effects.

This study reported that newly developed quaternary ammonium chitosan/carboxymethyl starch/alginate sponges effectively inhibit bacterial growth and promote rapid hemostasis in wound management after tooth extraction in animal models, showing significant promise for clinical use in preventing complications like dry socket.

Hair proteins change location and structure as hair cells mature.

This study suggests that combining Silybum marianum extract, Manganese PCA, and Lespedeza capitata extract may help improve hair growth and anchorage by targeting specific signaling pathways in human dermal papilla cells.

In this study, researchers investigated GAGs from the marine invertebrate Microcosmus exasperatus, finding that its polysaccharides possess antitumoral properties without affecting anticoagulant activity. The unique composition shows potential for cancer treatment when combined with existing therapies in future studies.

The authors concluded that Lrig1-positive stem cells are essential for sebaceous gland formation in mice, as their ablation led to temporary sebaceous gland disappearance without affecting hair growth.

This research explores the potential of Gel-SHP hydrogels in tissue regeneration, suggesting they could contribute to new methodologies and understanding in wound healing and dermal shell formation, but results are not detailed.

This study found that polymeric micelle nanocarriers delivered pharmacologically relevant amounts of spironolactone to the epidermis and upper dermis, with higher delivery to pilosebaceous units, suggesting potential for treating glucocorticoid-induced impaired wound healing and pilosebaceous androgen-related skin diseases.

This study observed that smeathxanthone A improved wound healing and reduced blood glucose levels in diabetic mice, suggesting potential benefits for tissue healing.

This case report describes a 3-year-old male with X-linked ichthyosis and associated neurologic abnormalities, identifying an unusual cortical development malformation and suggesting that abnormal hair banding may assist diagnosis.

This study found that white hair demonstrated denser and more hydrophobic properties compared to black hair.

Foam sclerotherapy for varicose veins may cause unexpected hair growth.
