This study introduced a reproducible human model using 3D-SeboSkin technology to study hidradenitis suppurativa, allowing better maintenance of skin integrity and replication of biomarker expression patterns compared to traditional skin cultures, suggesting its value for further research.

Male and female mice have different skin thickness, and hormones affect their skin and hair growth differently.

This study suggests that the structure and function of mouse melanocytes in the epidermis and hair bulb are influenced by genetic factors and local tissue environment, including hormones and growth factors.

This study suggests that increased amounts of less stable disulfide conformers in hair shafts may be linked to the brittleness observed in trichothiodystrophy.

This study found that Meth-A cells induced alopecia in mice, but this effect was blocked by a protein kinase inhibitor, suggesting immunological mechanisms involving lymphokine-activated killer cells.

This review suggests that GABAergic neuroactive steroids modulated by alcohol could play a role in vulnerability to alcohol use disorders, providing a rationale for further therapeutic exploration.

This study suggests that while DI water significantly impacts hair, the effects of citric acid, hydrogen peroxide, and sodium chloride in shampoo on hair remain unclear, requiring further investigation.

This study found that human hair cuticle and cortex have different protein structures, with beta-sheet and disorder configurations in the cuticle and alpha-helical structures in the cortex.

This study concluded that terminal Schwann cells are essential for the maintenance and regeneration of mechanosensory lanceolate complexes at hair follicles in adult mice.

This research identified two genetic variants that influence the white-spotted coat patterns in Holstein-Friesian cattle, involving regulatory changes in the MITF and KIT genes, confirmed through mouse models, along with possible effects on coat patterns in other cattle breeds.

This study observed structural and molecular changes in Ganxi goat skin that adapt to hot and humid climates and suggested that GSDMA might play a role in hair follicle regulation and skin homeostasis, though further research is needed to confirm its function in environmental adaptation.

In this study, the authors identified and characterized the Get3d protein, conserved across plants and photosynthetic bacteria, which localizes to the chloroplast in Arabidopsis thaliana and potentially plays a role in tail-anchored protein targeting, linked to photosynthesis homeostasis.

This study found that androgen signaling has complex effects on bone formation in male AR3.6-transgenic mice, with varying impacts based on the embryonic lineage of cells.

This study found multipotent progenitors in sweat ducts that become unipotent after sweat gland development, highlighting distinct regenerative capabilities in adult glandular skin stem cell populations.

In this study, researchers found that trichothiodystrophy hair brittleness is linked to abnormalities in sulfur content and structural organization, making it prone to breakage.

This study found that the vitamin D receptor is crucial for initiating the postnatal hair follicular cycle in mice, preventing alopecia associated with its inactivation.

This study found that disulfide bonds in keratin increase its strength and toughness, with some loss of α-helical structure under load, highlighting their role in trichocyte α-keratin's mechanical properties.

Human enzymes can detoxify harmful substances but might also increase their cancer risk.

This consensus document reviews current knowledge on sex differences in essential hypertension and identifies areas needing further research to improve sex-specific prevention and management strategies.

This article discusses how drug molecules integrate into hair fibers, focusing on biological transport mechanisms and physicochemical factors, but reports no new experimental findings.

This study suggests that the keratins found in reptile and bird skin appendages evolved independently from mammalian hair keratins, highlighting convergent evolution in these species.

This commentary discusses how environmental epidemiology has largely neglected the impact of racism on health outcomes, suggesting various solutions to better integrate these considerations into research.

In this study, researchers used cryo-electron microscopy to reveal how the natural compound osthole inhibits TRPV3 channels by binding to specific sites, changing the channel's conformation.

This review examined how COVID-19 infection and vaccination might affect sexual activity, sex hormones, and menstrual cycles in men and women, and found no evidence of COVID-19 transmission via semen.

This review discusses various aspects of hair follicle biology and highlights unresolved questions and potential new research avenues, but presents no new experimental findings.

This study discusses how beauty standards contribute to structural injustice by imposing rising demands and increasing body image anxiety across various demographics.

Chemotherapy can cause significant hair thinning and changes in hair texture, while tamoxifen has a smaller effect.

This review discusses recent advances in understanding the structural hierarchy of trichocyte keratins, including their heterodimeric structure and distinct conformations impacting hair growth, with no new experimental results reported.

This study concluded that male mice are more susceptible to valproic acid-induced autism spectrum disorder than female mice, with noticeable differences in brain histoarchitecture and receptor protein levels.

This study reports a good correlation between the curvature of human eyelashes and the displacement of the neutral axis, influenced by the non-uniform thickness of the outer cuticle layer.
