This study suggests the possibility of regenerating hair follicle structures in vitro using hiPSC-derived cell composites, which might reduce reliance on human tissue-derived cells for hair bioengineering.

This study found that keratin intermediate filaments in the hair of GAN patients are altered, showing decreased diffraction signals and increased stiffness, strength, and extensibility.

This study found that, in male patients with patellar tendinopathy, bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cell treatment improved tendon regeneration, organization, strength, and pain relief more effectively than leukocyte-poor platelet-rich plasma over 12 months.

This study conducted a meta-analysis of gene expression data from alopecia areata patients, identifying 5109 differentially expressed genes and highlighting enriched pathways like JAK-STAT signaling, providing insights into the disease's pathogenesis and potential treatment targets.

This study found that keratin intermediate filaments in the hair of patients with giant axonal neuropathy were structurally altered, resulting in hair that was stiffer, stronger, and more extensible.

This case study documents the co-existence of trichorhinophalangeal syndrome and loose anagen syndrome in a patient, highlighting a previously unreported association between the two conditions.

In this comprehensive review, researchers reported that macromolecules like type I collagen, keratin, and ceramides enhance hair health by improving follicular function and increasing hair density, strength, shine, and resilience, as shown in various in vitro, animal, and human studies.

This study found that hair dyed with anionic basic hair dye lost more color after shampooing compared to cationic and nonionic dyes, with alkaline shampoo increasing this effect.

This study reports that sebaceous glands can regenerate after injury through stem cell plasticity, with hair-follicle-derived stem cells replacing sebaceous gland progenitors and playing a crucial role in the regeneration process, which is dependent on FGFR2 signaling and aided by hair growth induction.

This study found that modern styling cosmetics can significantly alter hair structure through changes in interfacial chemistry and cohesion, particularly when applied to already damaged hair.

This review synthesizes evidence on strategies to preserve donor aesthetics and reserve in follicular unit extraction, emphasizing conservative extraction limits and long-term planning to prevent donor site morbidity.

This study identified a 290 Kb microduplication in chromosome 1q22 in a family with members exhibiting neurodevelopmental disorders, suggesting a link between this genetic alteration and the observed neurological symptoms.

This study identified novel LSS mutations implicated in hypotrichosis simplex with or without neurodevelopmental abnormalities, highlighting the need for careful evaluation of synonymous mutations' potential pathogenic effects.

Scientists made nanoparticles from human hair proteins to improve drug delivery.
