A mutation in the KRT74 gene causes tightly curled hair.

This study found that microspicule cosmetics with low-molecular-weight peptide complexes significantly improved skin whitening, pore condition, and skin barrier function over four weeks compared to a non-microspicule formulation.

This notice provides information about JAMA Dermatology's website usage policy, and no research findings are reported.

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 study identified several specific trichoscopic features of trichotillomania, with trichoptilosis, V hair, and hair powder being the most frequent findings.

This study examined hair curvature in Japanese women, finding that 47% have curved hair, and identified structural differences in hair fiber, which resemble those in wool fibers.

This study found that the tensile strength of curly hair is influenced by two main components, with springiness (toe region) contributing significantly, unlike in noncurly hair where it is negligible.

This study concludes that SPARC is likely a secondary response during the hair cycle's transitional phases, indicating tissue-remodeling processes similar to those in wound repair, rather than initiating these transitions.

This study investigated spanlastic nanovascular drug delivery systems and found that they can effectively enhance the transport and continuous release of medicines with small particle size, low polydispersity index, and satisfactory entrapment efficiency, showing potential as carriers for drug delivery.

This study found that mouse embryoid bodies adhered quickly and differentiated efficiently into cardiomyocytes on negatively charged poly(sodium p-styrene sulfonate) hydrogels, similar to their behavior on gelatin-coated polystyrene.

This study reported that hair microscopy can help diagnose rare pediatric neurological diseases, as specific hair characteristics were linked to conditions like giant axonal neuropathy, Griscelli syndrome, and Menkes disease.

This article describes a case in which a gymnast's hair loss pattern improved after she stopped using the balance beam, suggesting the hair loss may have been due to traction from her gymnastics routine.

This case report describes successful treatment of generalized trichodysplasia spinulosa with leflunomide in a patient undergoing immunosuppressive therapy following solid organ transplantation.

This study found that hair-follicle-associated-pluripotent (HAP) stem cells can be cryopreserved for future use in nerve and spinal cord repair, with human trials being planned.

This study introduced a new method for extracting red mordant dyes from wool fibers that preserved the fibers for further analysis and allowed for spectrophotometric examination of the dyes' absorption curves.

This study reported that exogenous R-spondin-1 can restore hair follicle neogenesis in adult mouse cells, highlighting differences in gene expression and signaling pathways between fetal and adult dermal papilla cells.

This study reports that patients with Alzheimer's disease have increased levels of polyamines in their hair.

This report describes a case of two sisters with kinky, tangled hair diagnosed using trichoscopic and microscopic methods; they were treated with topical minoxidil.

This study found that synchrotron radiation ECD imaging provides new insights into solid-state Finasteride by highlighting the significant role of anisotropy in local domains for chiroptical measurements.

This paper discusses the use of dermatoscopy as a fast, noninvasive technique for diagnosing hair shaft disorders and reports no new results; the authors highlight its advantages over traditional microscopy methods.

This review explores the complex interrelationships among different properties of natural hair fibers and underscores the need for a holistic taxonomy to improve data interpretation across disciplines, but it reports no new experimental results.

This abstract provides contact information for Dr. Ban Kamoona at the Medical University – Sofia and contains no research findings.

In this case study, a rare viral infection called trichodysplasia spinulosa was diagnosed in a 10-year-old girl post-kidney transplant; she was treated successfully with reduced immunosuppression alongside leflunomide and valganciclovir, though the efficacy of valganciclovir remains uncertain.

This study developed a quantitative method using SDS-PAGE and MALDI-TOF mass spectroscopy to accurately determine animal species from hair fibers, validated against standard samples and optical microscopy.

In this study, transplanted whisker follicles from ND-GFP mice aided spinal cord repair in injured mice, and surprisingly, also grew long hair shafts at the site of transplantation.

This study observed that dermal papilla cell aggregates showed increased viability and gene expression on softer 3D substrates, indicating the importance of substrate stiffness in cellular behavior.

This study demonstrated that imidazole-based ionic liquids, particularly [Emim]DEP, effectively dissolved yak hair keratin, maintaining its structure better than other tested solvents, and also performed well on human hair and goat wool, with consistent performance even after five recycling cycles.
