This study found that women with negative or mixed feelings about Botox and facial fillers reported diverse and sometimes persistent physical and psychological impacts, feeling commodified, fractured, abandoned, reflective, and transformed.

This article examines how digital technologies, drawing on Marshall McLuhan's concept of media as an "extension of man," transform design thinking by creating new possibilities without replacing it, emphasizing the need for a hybrid, reflective practice in design.

This study examined 201 Korean academic articles on scalp and hair research from 1994 to 2024, finding a shift from technique-driven studies to more interdisciplinary, application-oriented research, reflecting broader industrial, medical, and psychological interests over time.

In this article, the author explores how digital technologies can expand the cognitive and creative capabilities of designers, noting that while technology transforms design thinking, it does not replace it but rather opens up new possibilities and requires a hybrid, reflective practice.

This forum article in BMC Biology discusses evolving views on the concept of the stem cell niche, highlighting varied mechanisms and the need for better understanding of the niche's roles and functions.

This study found that human C-tactile afferents respond to hair deflection, suggesting a functionally relevant anatomical relationship to hair follicles similar to that observed in mice.

This study used theoretical calculations to show that phosphates strongly bind to cerium dioxide surfaces in various stable configurations, with spectral signatures identifiable in the infrared and Raman spectra, informing future experimental efforts in controlling the enzymatic activity of ceria nanoparticles.

This study found that ocular comorbidities, particularly errors of refraction, are common in patients with Alopecia Areata, but dermoscopic findings are not predictive of these ocular issues.

This study reported that specific inhibition of the classical complement pathway with BIVV009 prevented C3 deposition along the dermal-epidermal junction in bullous pemphigoid, reflecting its potential efficacy.

This study reviews the potential of electrospun nanofiber mats as innovative drug delivery systems for wound healing, emphasizing their ability to enhance drug release, improve cell adhesion, and promote tissue regeneration by incorporating antibiotics, growth hormones, or stem cells.

This study successfully used ATR FT-IR spectroscopy to uniquely identify or differentiate human hairs by detecting specific spectral features associated with individual hair characteristics and cosmetic residues on hair surfaces.

This article discusses the principles and considerations of clinical photography for hair disorders in dermatology, reporting no new clinical findings.

This study found that mink pelts with "singe" and "red hip" defects often exhibit split hair tips and altered cuticle structures, which may contribute to their undesired metallic sheen.

In this study, researchers identified a three-step process underlying age-related curved hair from cyclical extension: surface lipid transfer, specific disulfide bond cleavage, and unraveling of α-helices into β-structures, which may inform care strategies to manage hair curvature.

This study utilized polarized light microscopy to examine hair shafts in ten children with rare genetic disorders, such as Netherton syndrome and ectodermal dysplasia, providing valuable diagnostic insights into hair thickness, composition, and structural irregularities associated with these conditions.

This case report describes a 75-year-old woman with pustular psoriasis who developed Beau's lines on her nails, coinciding with episodes of telogen effluvium.

In this study, researchers produced a biosurfactant from yeast that effectively reduces surface tension, acts as a good oil emulsifier, demonstrates antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, and exhibits no cytotoxicity, suggesting its potential use in eco-friendly cosmetic formulations.

In this study, incorporating a novel amino acid compound into a hair-straightening formulation improved humidity-resistant straightening and enhanced the surface and mechanical properties of hair fibers, including increased bending stiffness, reduced friction, and better shape retention under high temperature and humidity conditions.

This study introduced mechanical setups to analyze the mechanical properties of root hairs in Arabidopsis thaliana, finding that axial stiffness primarily relates to tip compression and turgor pressure, confirmed by independent methods adapted from work on animal cells.

This study found that incorporating CTA2-BADG, a modified hair-rebonding compound, into damaged hair significantly improved surface morphology and tensile strength by using charge-conversion chemistry to enhance penetration into the hair shaft.

In this study, researchers developed innovative mechanical methods to measure the mechanical properties of Arabidopsis thaliana root hairs, concluding that axial stiffness is mainly due to tip compression and influenced by turgor pressure.

This study from the Danish Skin Cohort found that patients with alopecia areata, followed by those with hidradenitis suppurativa, were willing to spend the most daily time on treatment, reflecting possible unmet needs, and that this willingness correlated with disease severity across different dermatological conditions.

This article reviews the use of hair cortisol concentration as a biomarker to assess long-term stress in both animals and humans, but it reports no new experimental results.

This review discusses the potential of repeated low-level red-light therapy to inhibit myopia progression through metabolic effects, highlighting its molecular and cellular impact, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the use of zebrafish larvae as an alternative model for studying ototoxicity, facilitating large-scale screening for otoprotective compounds, but reports no new clinical results.

This study demonstrated that the immunomodulatory drug FTY720 may enhance the survival of allogeneic fat grafts in mice by reducing immune rejection and improving neovascularization.

In this study, desmopressin-loaded elastic liposomes (ODEL1) showed improved permeation and drug deposition across rat skin by altering the skin's cohesive energies and causing reversible changes on its surface.

This study found that chemically treated hair, particularly when subjected to both acid straightening and bleaching, experiences more significant structural damage when exposed to heat, highlighting key changes in both the internal and surface components of hair fibers.

In this study, researchers developed cationic liposomes encapsulated with keratin to improve the recovery of UV-damaged hair, finding that these liposomes significantly improved keratin penetration and reduced protein denaturation and lipid peroxidation, resulting in smoother hair surfaces compared to keratin solution alone.

This study found that a sucrose-based crosslinker can effectively straighten hair and maintain durability in high humidity and through repeated washings without affecting the hair's tensile properties or causing surface damage.
