research Hair-on-hair static friction coefficient can be determined by tying a knot
This study found that treating hair with 1 M sodium hydroxide increases its self-friction coefficient, suggesting potential applications in forming fine frictional fibers for medical uses.
research Effect of varied hair protein fractions on the gel properties of keratin/chitosan hydrogels for the use in tissue engineering
This study suggests that adjusting the ratios of keratin-associated proteins to keratin intermediate filaments can create keratin/chitosan hydrogels with more consistent gel properties for tissue engineering.
research Skin-permeable liposome improved stability and permeability of bFGF against skin of mice with deep second degree scald to promote hair follicle neogenesis through inhibition of scar formation
This study reported that a novel liposomal formulation, SP-bFGF-SF-LIP, enhanced bFGF stability and skin permeability, significantly improving hair follicle recovery and wound healing in a mouse model.
research Bulge cells of human hair follicles: segregation, cultivation and properties
This study found that in vitro, cultured bulge cells from human hair follicles possess properties of primitive cells, supporting the hypothesis that hair follicle stem cells reside in the bulge area.
research Hair transplantation by follicular unit extraction for male androgenetic alopecia: A retrospective observational study from two centers
This study found that hair transplantation using the follicular unit extraction method significantly improved hair density and patient satisfaction in males with androgenetic alopecia, especially those younger than 33 and with less severe hair loss.
research Viewpoint 4
This article discusses the development of skin patterns during embryogenesis and postnatal life, linking them to genetic, environmental, and mathematical factors, but presents no new empirical findings.
research BMP2 and BMP7 play antagonistic roles in feather induction
This study shows that BMP2 and BMP7 play complex, necessary roles in feather development by regulating dermal condensation formation, with BMP7 acting early as a chemoattractant and BMP2 halting cell migration.
research Comparison of Therapeutic Efficacy of Topical Tacrolimus 0.1% and Topical Dithranol 0.5% in Treatment of Alopecia Areata
This study found that topical Dithranol 0.5% is more effective than topical Tacrolimus 0.1% for hair regrowth in patients with alopecia areata, with 40% of Dithranol-treated patients showing over 80% hair regrowth compared to 23.33% for Tacrolimus-treated patients.
research Novel PLCL nanofibrous/keratin hydrogel bilayer wound dressing for skin wound repair
This study reported that a novel bilayer wound dressing made from PLCL nanofibers and keratin hydrogel, loaded with FGF-2, promoted skin healing and showed potential for use in skin tissue engineering.
research APPLICATIONS AND SAFETY OF TESTOSTERONE CREAMS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF TOPICAL FORMULATIONS, CLINICAL EFFICACY, AND POTENTIAL RISKS
This study systematically reviewed the use of topical testosterone products such as creams, gels, and patches, finding they effectively raise serum testosterone but pose significant systemic risks like acne and gynecomastia, necessitating careful medical oversight.
research Oral delivery of marine shellfish supramolecule peptides for skin wound healing
This study found that oral administration of naturally safe active polypeptides from marine shellfish promoted scarless dermal wound healing in mice, potentially via effects on inflammation, fibroblast activity, and the "skin-gut" axis.
research Faun tail nevus: A series of 15 cases and their management with Intense Pulse Light
In this study, IPL treatment for six months significantly reduced hair growth in females with faun tail nevus linked to spinal abnormalities.
research Influence of tretinoin on the percutaneous absorption of minoxidil from an aqueous topical solution
This study found that coadministering minoxidil with tretinoin cream increased minoxidil absorption nearly threefold in healthy males, attributed to increased stratum corneum permeability.
research Shampoo Formulation
This article reviews the composition and functionality of shampoos, emphasizing the role of surfactants in cleaning and conditioning hair, and reports no new experimental results.
research Keratosis Pilaris Is a Keratinization of Hair Follicles
This article discusses keratosis pilaris, a common skin condition often considered a normal variant, and reviews its associations, progression, and available treatments without reporting new clinical results.
research A family business: stem cell progeny join the niche to regulate homeostasis
This review discusses the role of stem cell progeny as integral components of stem cell niches, offering feedback that may influence different stem cell systems' microenvironments, but it presents no new research findings.
research Preparation of hair beads and hair follicle germs for regenerative medicine
This study developed a method for generating germ-like tissues called bbHFGs, which efficiently promoted hair follicle formation in mice, potentially advancing hair regenerative medicine applications.
research Laboratory and Experimental Trichology
The document concludes that the trichogram is a useful tool for diagnosing hair loss and suggests semi-organ cultures for practical trichological research.
research Molecular epidemiology of hypospadias: Review of genetic and environmental risk factors
This review discusses the multifactorial etiology of hypospadias, including genetic predispositions and possible environmental factors, and highlights the need for further studies on genetic and environmental contributions to its increasing prevalence, without presenting new findings.
research Mechanisms of hepatocyte attachment to keratin biomaterials
This study observed that hepatocyte adhesion to human hair keratin biomaterials was mediated by the hepatic ASGPR, as blocking this receptor reduced cell attachment.
research THE BIOLOGY OF HAIR CARE
This paper reviews hair structure and damage from grooming and cosmetic exposure but reports no new clinical findings; it suggests collaboration between dermatologists and cosmetic chemists to improve hair care products.
research Keratin
This article reviews the complex structure and molecular composition of hair keratins, highlighting their self-assembly process and implications for keratin extraction techniques, but reports no new experimental results.
research Surgical Pearl: The cotton-tipped applicator as a suture scissors stabilizer in cutting suture
This article discusses the various uses of the cotton-tipped applicator in dermatologic surgery, highlighting its innovative role as a suture scissors stabilizer, but reports no clinical results.
research Down-Stream molecular Responses to Volatile Signaling in Roots
This study found that lateral root formation in plants in response to L. bicolor volatiles involves complex signaling processes, potentially including unknown proteins, CRKs, and ABA pathways.
