This study identified that mouse MILL1 and MILL2 are glycoproteins distinct from human MICA/B, primarily due to their association with β2-microglobulin and TAP-independent surface expression.

This review covers the current and potential medical uses of semifluorinated alkanes, including applications in eye surgery, drug delivery, and oxygen transport.

This review summarized and classified 32 approved synthetic and natural-identical antioxidants, examining their regulatory status, safety, pharmacological properties, and effectiveness on human health, aiming to clarify their antioxidant actions and encourage further research in the field.

In vitro, this study found that PTX and HU SF-FA NLCs showed greater cytotoxicity and apoptosis in ovarian cancer cells than pure paclitaxel, suggesting promise as a targeted drug delivery platform.

This article presents a comprehensive overview of hair microscopy techniques and their diagnostic potential for systemic and cutaneous disorders, emphasizing its usefulness in resource-limited settings and highlighting the underutilization of this non-invasive method due to lack of awareness.

In this case series, the topical botanical formulation GASHEE demonstrated significant improvements in hair regrowth without adverse events among patients with hair loss, including cases where previous treatments had failed.

This review discusses recent advances in protein immobilization on bacterial cellulose for various biomedical uses and reports no new clinical results.

This source highlights that while plant sterols show potential benefits and applications in various industries, significant research gaps, including their complex structures and mechanisms, hinder their broader use, emphasizing the need for innovative sources and sustainable methods for their study.

This review highlights hypochlorous acid's potential benefits in various medical fields due to its antimicrobial and healing properties but stresses the need for further research on dosing and product development.

This review examines synthetic derivatives of curcumin for treating diabetes and cancer, reporting potential pharmacokinetic improvements and enhanced biological activity, but highlights ongoing challenges with bioavailability and stability, as well as gaps in translational research.

This study explored the potential of human hair keratin as a filtration material, finding that it may effectively absorb the pollutants diclofenac and perfluorobutanesulfonate. The researchers reported significant binding affinities through molecular simulations, supporting further investigation into keratin's use for water purification.

This review describes bioengineering strategies to mimic the natural cell microenvironment in vitro, emphasizing the novel approach of using cell-synthesized extracellular matrix as a scaffold for engineering functional 3D tissues, while highlighting the limitations of exogenous scaffolds in tissue engineering.

This study observed that mercury-lamp irradiation may cause cleavage of disulfide bonds in keratins of white hair, leading to the formation of thiols in laboratory settings.

This study found no statistical difference in thiol-disulfide balance between telogen effluvium patients and controls, suggesting oxidative stress may not affect telogen effluvium through this mechanism.

This study found that individuals with acne vulgaris had significantly higher serum total thiol and thiol disulfide levels, as well as a reduced total thiol/thiol disulfide ratio, compared to healthy controls.

This study found that oxidative stress, measured through thiol/disulfide balance, is closely linked to the pathogenesis of telogen effluvium.

In this study, the novel thiol-Michael click perming molecule, MA2-CySS, achieved repeatable perming with reduced oxidative damage, preserving hair keratin's structure while maintaining efficiency comparable to traditional oxidative methods.

This study found that using 1,4-butylenediamine bismaleimide for hair perming through thiol-Michael click chemistry offers comparable efficiency to conventional oxidative methods, with enhanced durability and reduced damage to hair fibres, preserving mechanical, color, and surface properties.

This study found that 1,4-n-butylene dimaleate can restore the mechanical properties of reduced hair by reconnecting disulfide bonds and improving the hair's structural integrity using a thiol-Michael click reaction, compared to untreated reduced hair.

This study observed that female patients with chronic telogen effluvium had significantly lower levels of total thiol, thiol-disulphide, and disulphide compared to healthy controls, indicating a disruption in oxidative stress balance.

Women with telogen effluvium have an imbalance in thiol-disulphide, suggesting oxidative stress may contribute to hair loss.

This study found that thiol disulfide homeostasis is balanced in male patients with androgenetic alopecia, though oxidative stress may be more prominent with emotional stress and vitamin D deficiency.

Topical thiols may prevent hair loss caused by certain chemotherapy drugs.

This study reported that a modified version of Thymosin beta 4, called PEG-rTβ4, demonstrated potential as a treatment for acute myocardial infarction by improving cardiac function and reducing cell death via specific biochemical pathways, suggesting its promise in drug development efforts.

This study found that compound 2g inhibits steroid sulfatase effectively without exhibiting estrogenic activity, making it a promising candidate for breast cancer treatment.

This article discusses the potential role of nutritional ingredients, such as thiols and tannins, in triggering pemphigus, and reports no new empirical findings.

This study observed that repeated perm treatments decrease disulfide bonds in hair due to their conversion largely into cysteic acid, affecting the waving efficiency depending on the reduction agent used.

This review summarizes the potential of N-acetyl-cysteine in managing diseases linked to redox imbalance, discussing its effects from cellular mechanisms to clinical applications, though further research is suggested for broader use.

This study found that using a bicomponent reduction system with TGA and DTDG for hair straightening limited hair damage by forming only thiol groups, while a TGA-only system formed more damaging mixed disulfide groups.

This study found that adding dithiodiglycolic acid to the hair straightening process decreased chemical damage and preserved the structural integrity of the hair matrix compared to using thioglycolic acid alone.
