This study reported new crystallographic structures and polymorphs of finasteride, including several solvates with distinct X-ray diffraction patterns and thermally characterized properties.

This study found that inhibiting AP1 transcription factor activity in the suprabasal epidermis of mice alters keratinocyte gene expression, reducing barrier integrity and mimicking human keratoderma.

This study found that coconut oil impedes hair hydration more effectively than soybean oil by penetrating deeper, and suggested a new model for intermediate filament assembly in hair.

This study found that the stability of the coiled-coil structure in human hair keratin is maintained by ion-pairing and hydrophobic interactions, which are disrupted as pH approaches 7.0.

This study found that chemical hair straightening significantly reduced hair curl and improved smoothness and shine, but did not significantly affect transverse fissures or split ends, indicating potential benefits with some side effects.

This study characterized hair from a patient with a ribosomopathy and identified distinct differences, including reduced hair thickness and lipid content, compared to family members.

This chapter discusses the structure and function of the skin, detailing its protective roles and the layers that comprise it, but reports no new research findings.

This study found that adding dithiodiglycolic acid to the hair straightening process decreased chemical damage and preserved the structural integrity of the hair matrix compared to using thioglycolic acid alone.

This study found that solid-state NMR combined with X-ray techniques provided critical insights into the structure and solvation of finasteride polymorphs, identifying gaps in existing patent characterizations.

Human hair structure varies by ethnicity, and certain treatments can improve hair condition and appearance.

This chapter provides an overview of the complex chemical and physical structure of the hair surface, detailing how factors like ethnicity, environmental stress, and cosmetic treatments can alter its properties and influence the adhesion of hair care products.

This study analyzed Sphenodesme involucrata var. paniculata leaves and found high carbohydrate and calcium content, along with several bioactive compounds, supporting their use in traditional medicine for their nutrient-rich properties.

This study optimized the extraction process for abomasum protein from Tianshan red deer, identifying two proteins with anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor activities, suggesting they could be beneficial in foods and nutraceuticals.

This study explored the structure and function of lipocalin prostaglandin D synthase, revealing its dual role in substrate catalysis and as a lipophilic ligand carrier, potentially informing future drug delivery design.

The compound (NH4)2Mn0.17Cu0.83Cl4.2H₂O has a specific structure, shows weak magnetism at low temperatures, and undergoes phase changes at high temperatures.

This article discusses themes in the molecular structure of hair and reports no new research findings.

This study found that targeting the hair follicle can be increased by using lipophilic drugs combined with surfactant solutions and propylene glycol.

This study found that compound 3, a tetrahydropyridoindole carboxymethylated at position 5, significantly inhibited sorbitol accumulation in both rat eye lenses and tissues affected by diabetes, indicating its potential as a lead compound for ALR2 inhibition.

In this study of healthy men, low levels of testosterone and dihydrotestosterone were associated with higher body mass index, fat content, and insulin resistance, but their effects on lipid and glucose metabolism were similar in quality.

This study found that the water extract of Bituminaria bituminosa demonstrated the highest antioxidant activity and α-glucosidase inhibition among tested extracts, but no cholinesterase or tyrosinase inhibition.

This study found that the ethanolic root extract of Onosma dichroantha exhibits antioxidant activity and significant antimicrobial effects against 11 bacterial species.

This study reported that women with polycystic ovarian syndrome have higher serum irisin levels, which are associated with metabolic and hormonal imbalances, including hyperandrogenism, total cholesterol, and visceral fat.

This study found that the viscosity of silicone oil in hair treatments significantly affects wave curling performance and hair damage, with untreated and chemically treated hair showing different optimal viscosities.

This study reveals that overexpression of Wnt3 in transgenic mouse skin leads to a short-hair phenotype and cyclical balding due to structural defects in hair shafts, highlighting a role for WNT signaling in hair growth regulation.

This study found that permanent waving treatment induces structural changes in the cortex proteins of white human hair, significantly reducing its tensile strength without altering the S-S band intensity.

This study suggests that human keratin fiber matrix has a well-defined nano-scale grainy structure rather than being amorphous, with grain size influenced by chemical treatments, temperature, humidity, and follicle-level factors.

This study concluded that specific SNPs in the TRPS1 gene significantly alter its protein structure, affecting interactions and contributing to the development of congenital hypertrichosis.

This study in young Ukrainian men found that specific body measurements, like shoulder width and tibia epiphysis width, are highly predictive of alopecia areata occurrence, though not for its progression, using discriminant models (p<0.001).

In this review paper, the authors explored the composition and role of lipids in human hair, highlighting their importance for hair texture, moisture retention, and tensile strength, while noting that the understanding of hair lipids' functions remains controversial and requires further research.

This chapter reviews the skin's structure and its clinical relevance, highlighting connective tissue diseases and the potential for novel treatments like protein, cell, or stem cell transfer, but reports no new findings.
