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 developed an advanced HPLC-ESI-ion trap MS(n) method for the structural identification of cyclosporin A analogs CyA and CyC and reported the first MS(n)-aided identification of a new CyA analog.

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 review examines structural elements and delivery methods for nonviral DNA- and RNA-based vectors used in gene editing, but reports no new experimental results.

This study found that shikimic acid- and maleate-based hair repair agents modified the structure of hair fibers, though they did not increase disulfide bridge content in the hair cortex.

This review examines advances in computer-aided drug design for targeting membrane proteins in prostate cancer but reports no new clinical results; it emphasizes the potential of structural insights and compound screening for therapeutic development.

In this study, researchers created nanowhiskers from crab shell-derived nanochitin that self-assembled into vibrant structural colors within a film. The material, sensitive to environmental changes, shows potential as a food freshness indicator and a sustainable dye for cosmetics due to chitin's biocompatibility.

This review explores the immunological aspects of epidermal differentiation in loricrin knockout mice, offering insights into keratinization and potential intrinsic factors affecting immune function, but provides no new clinical findings.

This article presents five family cases of monilethrix and reports that neither vitamins nor desquamative ointments are effective treatments, although symptoms may spontaneously regress over time.

This review highlights that Tremella fuciformis polysaccharide exhibits various bioactivities, such as antioxidant and immune-modulating effects, and explores its potential applications in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries.

This study provided the crystal structure of the human steroid 5α-reductase 2 enzyme and identified key molecular mechanisms for testosterone reduction and finasteride inhibition, aiding in understanding disease-causing mutations and potentially facilitating new drug development.

KAP8.1 protein is crucial for hair structure and interacts with keratin 85.

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 the cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP-sb21 can hydroxylate cyclosporine A at multiple positions, reducing its immunosuppressive effects but retaining its hair growth-promoting side-effect, and suggests modifications to improve regioselectivity for commercial use.

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 source underscores the importance of understanding skin structure and function to comprehend both healthy skin biology and skin disease pathophysiology, highlighting skin's extensive involvement in healthcare due to infections, drug reactions, and diseases like psoriasis.

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 that exposure to heavy metal salts affected skin and hair morphology in mice, with lead acetate decreasing keratinocyte proliferation and zinc sulfate and sodium dichromate increasing it.

This review discusses the use of trichoscopy for diagnosing mimickers of patterned hair loss and assessing donor sites before hair transplant surgery, and reports no new clinical results.

Understanding skin structure and development helps diagnose and treat skin disorders.

In this case study, a comprehensive reconstruction approach using autologous fat grafting, follicular unit excision hair transplantation, and scalp micropigmentation led to significant aesthetic and psychosocial improvements in a male patient with severe facial and scalp burn injuries.

In this study on wound healing, sulfated glycosaminoglycans from sturgeon cartilage enhanced fibroblast cell proliferation, migration, and collagen deposition, significantly accelerating wound closure and promoting re-epithelialization in both in vitro and in vivo tests.

This study found that hairless dog breeds have adapted to maintain normal body and core temperatures through structural changes like a thicker epidermis and the role of melanin in thermoregulation, with genetic mechanisms involving the FOXI3 gene governing hairlessness.

This study found that lipids are highly correlated with hair curvature while proteins are not, reporting the largest number of hair lipids and identifying novel proteins and chaperones relating to different hair types for the first time.

This review summarizes structural insights into androgen receptor dynamics, highlighting its flexibility in binding numerous partners, which may explain adaptive resistance mutations in cancer and loss of function in androgen insensitivity syndrome.

This study explores the physical properties of hair from various wild mammalian species using polarized light microscopy, aiming to correlate these properties with the internal structures such as the medulla, cortex, and keratin cuticle.
