Specific immune cells and pathways contribute to hair follicle inflammation and hair loss, suggesting potential treatments for lichen planopilaris.

This study found that in naturally curved human scalp hairs, distinct arrangements of cell types on either side of the hair fiber contribute to its curvature.

Chemical treatments damage hair more than UV exposure, making it thinner and less flexible.

In this study, the researchers developed and optimized a curcumin nanocrystal gel to enhance skin permeability, reporting improved dissolution properties and antiproliferative effects on cell lines, suggesting it as a promising topical delivery system.

This study found that defective cross-linking in hair cuticles is observable in a minority of mouse hair mutants, suggesting different proteins are involved in cross-linking across cell types.

This study found that medullary cell content in mammal hair evolves from an amorphous form to a biphasic phase, with human and anthropoid hair containing both macrofibrils and microfibrils.

In this study, researchers found that neonate hairs have a distinct microstructure with no medulla and smaller hair follicles compared to adult hairs.

This study examined hair curvature in Japanese women, finding that 47% have curved hair, and identified structural differences in hair fiber, which resemble those in wool fibers.

This study observed that hair fibers in older women become more curved with age, decreasing hair luster due to their disordered alignment and structural differences between the convex and concave sides.

Trichohyalin in hair can trigger immune attacks in alopecia areata.

This study concluded that niosomes could effectively serve as stable carriers for topical aminexil delivery, showing promising stability and a slow, biphasic release profile in laboratory settings.

This study found that 53% of Japanese women have straight hair while 47% have varying degrees of curved hair, with distinct structural differences observed in the internal makeup of curved hair fibers.

In this study, three cases of young men using finasteride for five years showed altered sperm morphology and motility issues, with partial improvement observed after discontinuation.

This study observed defects in hair cuticle cross-linking in some, but not all, mouse mutants with sparse or structurally unsound hair.

This article outlines a protocol for scanning electron microscopy of murine skin and primary keratinocyte monolayers, providing a guide for sample preparation and examination.

In this study, Iris germanica L. rhizome-derived exosomes were found to reduce oxidative stress, enhance antioxidant enzyme transcription, and restore cellular function in human epidermal keratinocytes, suggesting potential protective effects against oxidative-stress-induced skin damage.

This study observed that pantethine, a vitamin B5 precursor, attenuates tumor growth in immunocompetent mice by enhancing antitumor immunity, but its effect is limited by immune cell exhaustion over time.

This study observed that treating hair follicles with BM15766 and 7DHC led to structural damage, disrupted cellular organization, reduced expression of key genes and proteins, and increased apoptosis, in contrast to controls, indicating detrimental effects on hair follicle integrity.

This research review discusses how iron deficiency affects various bodily functions and systems, such as immunity and metabolism, by identifying the iron-dependent enzymes and pathways involved, suggesting that understanding these mechanisms may offer new treatment possibilities for related diseases.

The authors concluded that dermal white adipose tissue, influenced by factors like light irradiation, plays a significant role in modulating hair follicle cycles and could be targeted for hair growth treatments.

This review discusses prolactin production and regulation in human skin and hair follicles, highlighting its potential broader implications but reports no new empirical results.

This review discusses how women with PCOS have an increased risk of insulin resistance and cardiometabolic features regardless of body fat, and calls for targeted prevention and management strategies.

This review discusses the protective and stress-buffering roles of melatonin in skin functions and structures but does not present new clinical findings.

This study found that human hair follicle-derived mesenchymal stem cells can differentiate into myogenic, osteogenic, adipogenic, and chondrogenic lineages, although this potential decreases over time and varies by lineage.

This study suggests that supporting cells are the origin of regenerated hair cells in the avian basilar papilla, with epidermal growth factor as a potential trigger, and indicates a possibility of hair cell regeneration in mammalian vestibular epithelia.

This study found that mouse skin CD4(+) memory T cells are in equilibrium with the circulation under steady state but increase in specific clusters in response to infection or inflammation.

This study found that low oxygen conditions and ECM degradation products increased the proliferation and migration of perivascular stem cells without altering their phenotype, suggesting potential roles in tissue repair.

In this study, researchers achieved complete reepithelialization and hair growth on a burn-injured scalp using a tissue-engineered dermal template with early micrograft hair follicle implantation.

This study demonstrated that hair follicle-derived cells can induce hair follicle formation in an in vitro skin organ culture system using human retroauricular skin specimens.

In this study, researchers found that mast cells in Erythema Toxicum lesions in newborns are actively involved in the immune response around hair follicles, but do not express the antimicrobial peptide LL-37.
