In this study, researchers found that Notch signaling is crucial for late-stage epidermal differentiation and postnatal hair cycle homeostasis by regulating hair follicle stem cell proliferation and differentiation.

This study reviews the biology and cosmetic treatment of hair, emphasizing future advancements in safer, more effective procedures to meet consumer needs for hair care.

This study found that although progerin expression in mouse skin causes significant nuclear shape changes in keratinocytes, it does not result in alopecia or common skin abnormalities seen in human Hutchinson–Gilford progeria syndrome.

This review explores the use of topical and transdermal delivery for drugs and cosmetics, highlighting the benefits of avoiding side effects and rapid metabolism, with a focus on nanoparticulate formulations and techniques for studying skin penetration.

The book was the first to focus on the biophysical properties of hair.

This study found that fetal calf serum can protect Merkel cells from cell death and alter their morphology in culture from newborn rat whisker pads.

This review highlights the lack of research on Afro-textured hair, emphasizing the need for better understanding of its genetic traits and molecular structure to develop more effective hair care solutions.

This study found that deleting transferrin receptor 1 in specific mouse tissues led to varied lethal outcomes, demonstrating its diverse roles beyond iron uptake.

This study identified genetic variants in the Trichohyalin gene that account for approximately 6% of the variance in hair morphology among Australians of European descent.

This review examines the chemical composition and potential health risks of hair straighteners, but it reports no new findings and emphasizes the importance of understanding hair fibre structure for safe use.

This review discusses recent advances in scarless wound healing research, focusing on the roles of mechanobiology and immunology, and reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight the potential of next-generation human skin equivalents in understanding these mechanisms.

This publication provides a standardized nomenclature for classifying microscopic lesions in laboratory rat and mouse skin, aiming to harmonize international toxicological research.

This study reported that inhibiting the JAK-STAT pathway with baricitinib restored cellular homeostasis, delayed senescence, and reduced proinflammatory markers in Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome cell models.

This study found that penile and clitoral differentiation in mice is influenced by androgen exposure, with penile features developing postnatally requiring prenatal and ongoing androgen presence.

This study observed that maize plants enhance phosphorus acquisition by promoting both root hair growth and lateral root development in response to localized nutrient patches, highlighting a complementary root trait trade-off.

This review article highlights how hair follicle-targeting drug delivery systems enhance therapeutic outcomes and reduce side effects for treating conditions like androgenetic alopecia and acne vulgaris. The authors discuss current formulations and evaluate their performance in both preclinical and clinical settings.

This study found that optical coherence tomography provides highly reproducible and less variable measurements of hair shaft thickness compared to standard light microscopy, offering a promising noninvasive tool for clinical practice.

This study demonstrated that dermal papilla cells were more efficiently reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem cells than dermal fibroblasts, suggesting their potential as a source for iPS cells.

The Brigham Eyebrow Tool for Alopecia is a simple and reliable way to measure eyebrow hair loss.

This article reviews the characteristics and treatment options for various dermatophyte infections, highlighting that systemic treatment is essential for tinea capitis while topical treatments are generally effective for other types.

Genetic studies on hair traits can improve understanding of health and disease.

This review article discusses ultrasound's potential as a non-invasive tool for diagnosing and treating hair disorders, highlighting its advantages in visualizing scalp structures and enhancing drug delivery, while noting the need for standardized protocols and further research to optimize its clinical application.

In this study, XZYFD, a Traditional Chinese Medicine formulation, was found to improve androgenetic alopecia in a testosterone-induced mouse model by promoting hair regrowth, restoring follicular morphology, and modulating androgen metabolism, MAPK signaling, and lipid metabolism pathways, suggesting potential benefits for patients with metabolic dysfunction.

This study found that lymph vessel morphology and density in airways differed based on location and type of epithelium, with the highest density in the ciliated epithelium of the nasal passages and site-specific patterns apparent in both fetal and adult specimens.

This study reported that depleting the pro-apoptotic protein Bax in hair follicle stem cells enables these cells to kill nearby viable cells by sequestering TNFα, which increases the stem cell pool and accelerates tissue regeneration, suggesting potential implications for therapies targeting tissue repair and cancer.

This study observed that Merkel cells and their associated somatosensory axons in mouse skin exhibit significant plasticity, remodeling dynamically to maintain homeostasis. Axonal branching patterns were notably influenced by Merkel cells, suggesting epithelial-neural interactions play a key role in axonal plasticity and patterning.

In this study, highly dynamic remodeling was observed in mouse somatosensory axons and Merkel cells, indicating that epithelial-neural interactions help maintain homeostatic remodeling, with additional intrinsic neural mechanisms contributing to axonal plasticity.

This study identified an optimal sulfate-free and silicone-free conditioning shampoo formulation using 1% hyaluronic acid at 800 kDa, 10% acidic sophorolipid, and 1% sodium chloride, which maintains essential conditioning and cleansing properties without compromising on performance.

This paper critically reviews recent advances in the use of keratin-based biomaterials, highlighting their potential applications in wound healing, drug delivery, and tissue regeneration due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and ability to support cell growth.

In this study, a new cell-tissue technology using a patient's own skin to create a full-thickness skin autograft successfully treated a chronic wound larger than 200 cm², achieving complete functional skin coverage within 12 weeks and maintaining results at a 6-month follow-up.
