This study found that treating hair with ATS, formed from fumaric acid and cysteamine, effectively improved hair quality by increasing moisture content and altering the internal structure of strong curls.

This study reports a case where cyclosporine effectively treated a 51-year-old woman with idiopathic follicular mucinosis resistant to other therapies, suggesting its potential as an option for refractory cases.

This study analyzed the swelling behavior of human hair during permanent waving treatment, finding that both the microstructure and macrostructure of intermediate filaments swell simultaneously at the initial stage, and while partially destructed by reduction, they are considerably restored through oxidation.

This study identified 11 previously unreported ABCA12 variants associated with varying severities of autosomal recessive congenital ichthyoses and expanded the phenotype spectrum of ichthyosis linked to these variants.

This study observed that tooth loss in mice led to premature graying of hair in the interbrow region, which was possibly due to reduced stimulation of the trigeminal nerve, suggesting that decreased mastication could cause this type of hair graying.

This study examined the formation of acquired curved hair and found that the fusion of hair matrix cells during follicle regeneration contributes to asymmetric follicle shapes and curved hair, potentially linked to changes in type IV collagen and protein expression levels.

This study found that rat hair-follicle-associated pluripotent stem cells can be successfully differentiated into beating atrial and ventricular cardiomyocytes by using specific combinations of growth factors and inhibitors in culture, demonstrating their potential to form functional myocardial fibers similar to adult heart cells.

In this case report, a woman developed severe alopecia areata approximately one year after starting belimumab for systemic lupus erythematosus, with hair loss improving upon discontinuation of the drug, suggesting a possible connection between belimumab and immune-mediated hair loss.

In this study, researchers found that a high-fat diet in mice induced downregulation of certain Krtap genes in the tongue, which may be linked to structural issues or oral cancer risk, highlighting a potential connection between oral health and systemic diseases like metabolic syndrome.

This study found that inhibiting the HEDGEHOG-GLI1 pathway could reduce keloid size and gene expression, suggesting it as a potential therapeutic target for keloid pathogenesis.

This study reports that a single intradermal injection of autologous adipose-derived stem cells improved visible aging signs such as wrinkles and pore size on facial skin for over a year in eight patients, with in vitro data suggesting muscle involvement in the rejuvenation process.

This study observed that the Hedgehog-GLI1 signaling pathway is upregulated in keloid patient–derived stem cells, and inhibiting this pathway reduced keloid characteristics in both mice and ex vivo tissue cultures, suggesting potential therapeutic targets for keloid treatment.

This study aims to use a comprehensive health data set to develop a statistical model that can improve personalized and preventive health care by understanding relationships between various health parameters in individuals.

This study reports that Huaier promotes hair growth and tissue regeneration in cancer recovery by activating the Hedgehog signaling pathway, potentially preventing recurrence and metastasis independently from SMO function.

This study found a significant association between montelukast and neuropsychiatric adverse events such as suicidal ideation and depression, suggesting that the drug's interaction with specific genes may contribute to these effects.

In this study, three cases of Cronkhite-Canada syndrome revealed small bowel mucosal lesions, but these findings did not correlate with clinical symptoms or steroid treatment outcomes.

In this study, Nε-(carboxymethyl) lysine was found to weaken hair follicle morphogenesis and inhibit essential cell activities in a model simulating accumulated glycation.

This study found that a 50% ethanol extract from marine green alga Chlamydomonas sp. W80 exhibited several bioactive properties, including skin lightening and hair growth promotion effects, with potential implications for bioenergy and high-value coproducts.

In this study, injecting Nε-(carboxymethyl) lysine into skin tissue weakened hair shaft and follicle formation, likely by inhibiting cell proliferation and migration needed for hair follicle morphogenesis.

This article discusses the structure and function of sebaceous glands and their role in skin moisture but reports no new research findings.

This study identified a specific genetic variant in the CCHCR1 gene that may contribute to alopecia areata through impaired keratinization, suggesting an alternative mechanism beyond autoimmune causes.

This study identified that in Japanese patients with autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis, the c.736T > A LIPH mutation is associated with a mild phenotype, while the c.742C > A mutation may lead to severe baldness.

This case report identifies a novel LIPH gene mutation linked to autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis in a Japanese boy, expanding the spectrum of known mutations associated with this condition.

This study found that using ionic liquid for specimen preparation allowed for observation of dermal papilla cells and their cilia in near-living conditions, reducing damage typically caused by conventional preparation methods.

This study aimed to identify characteristics of patients who fail to void during pressure-flow studies, which limits the determination of the cause behind their lower urinary tract symptoms.

This review of the Motherisk Program's counseling experience found a scarcity of information on medication safety related to paternal exposure to drugs and chemicals during the peri-conception period, emphasizing the need for further research.

In this study, the size of vaginal prolapse was significantly linked to preoperative vaginal length and the length of vaginal excision following the Michigan four-wall sacrospinous suspension.
