This study suggests that Platycarya strobilacea extract promotes hair growth in mice by enhancing stem cell factor expression, reducing mast cell numbers, and increasing cytokines associated with hair growth.

This study found that the X-ray patterns of stretched mammalian hair (β-keratin) are similar to those of natural silk (fibrion), suggesting a similar elastic mechanism involving reversible intra-molecular transformations.

This study found that the Elastic Verhoeff–Van Gieson stain may help differentiate between follicular streamers and scars in cicatricial and noncicatricial alopecias by highlighting differences in the elastic fiber network on horizontal scalp biopsy sections.

In this study, SNPs in genes affecting skin pigmentation were linked to each skin type's unique response to environmental stress, suggesting potential for personalized skin care products.

In this study, alopecia was more common among pregnant rhesus macaques compared to non-pregnant controls, and pregnancy was associated with increased hair cortisol levels.

This paper reviews the role of endoplasmic reticulum stress and the unfolded protein response in Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome-related atherosclerosis, especially in vascular smooth muscle cells, but reports no clinical findings; intervention in these pathways is suggested as a potential therapeutic strategy.

This study found that finasteride has selective effects on oxidative stress and acetylcholinesterase activity in different brain regions in rats with thioacetamide-induced hepatic encephalopathy.

This study found that controlled thermal straightening can achieve irreversible smoothing of curly hair without chemicals, with effectiveness dependent on temperature and cycles, and silicone enhancing straightening quality.

This study found that a bulge stem cell-enriched population from canine hair follicles successfully formed interfollicular epidermis in vitro within two weeks, suggesting potential for regenerative canine skin therapies.

This study found that depression and chronic stress are highly correlated in pregnant women, suggesting different stress mechanisms modulate hair cortisol levels in depressed versus non-depressed individuals.

In this study, treatment with aqueous KCN selectively converted disulfide bonds to monosulfide crosslinks in hair, leading to changes in microstructural properties and rubberlike elasticity under specific laboratory conditions.

This article describes the structure and components of hair cuticle cells and their intercellular junctions but reports no new clinical results.

This review summarizes the mechanisms of mesenchymal stem cell-mediated wound healing and highlights engineering strategies that enhance therapeutic outcomes, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that a natural language processing system outperformed ICD code-based strategies in accurately identifying fall-related emergency department visits among older adults.

This study found that heat stress in rex rabbits decreased hair follicle density and suppressed related signaling pathways, potentially affecting hair follicle development.

This study suggests that mechanical stress may influence androgenic alopecia patterning through a stretch-induced and androgen-mediated mechanotransduction mechanism in dermal papilla cells.

This review discusses the history, structure, and biological significance of keratins, including the crystal structure of a keratin helical segment, without reporting new experimental results.

This study found that the cuticle layer of hair contributes approximately 60% to bending stress, highlighting its significant role in the mechanical properties of hair stiffness.

Mesenchymal stromal cell therapies show promise for treating various diseases but need more research and standardization.

This review discusses the role of intermediate filaments in cell signaling and differentiation, emphasizing their impact on stem cell function, development, and disease, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, around 1% of proteins in skin fibroblasts significantly changed in response to reductive stress, affecting collagens and MAPK signaling pathways.

This study found that Caucasian hair is destroyed more easily than Asian hair when stretched, as indicated by changes in secondary structure, disulfide bond breakage, and physical disintegration.

In this study, researchers observed that dorsal horn cells in fetal sheep begin responding to natural cutaneous stimulation by mid-gestation, coinciding with the initial innervation of the skin.

This review summarizes recent advancements and future trends in the design and application of metal oxides for biocatalytic therapeutics, discussing their structural diversity, catalytic site tunability, and therapeutic applications, such as in cancer therapies and ROS scavenging, as well as challenges for their future utilization.

This study reveals that transglutaminase activity is widespread in integumentary structures of mammals and birds, suggesting it plays a significant role in the cornification of hard skin appendages like nails and feathers.

In this study, intranasal delivery of hair follicle-derived stem cells improved neurological function and reduced brain damage in a rat model of ischemic stroke.

This review examines the potential of mesenchymal stem/stromal cells in treating and possibly preventing allergic diseases, and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that serum ischemia-modified albumin levels were significantly higher in patients with telogen effluvium compared to healthy controls, suggesting a potential role of oxidative stress in the condition's pathogenesis.

This study found that ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) may be a promising biomarker of oxidative stress in patients with alopecia areata, offering better potential compared to other oxidative stress markers.

The study concluded that increasing the GSH concentrations in preservation solutions for follicular units doesn't lessen the oxidative stress during cold ischemia and reperfusion in hair transplantation surgery.
