This study suggests that human hair keratin-based gradient hydrogels incorporating silver ions may serve as promising dermal templates for wound healing, demonstrating favorable mechanical properties, cell interaction, and antibacterial activity.

This review discusses various skin side effects from chemotherapy, noting that they are mainly toxic rather than allergic and often include alopecia, which can cause significant distress to patients.

This study concluded that bleach treatment partly transforms the hydrophobic top layer of human hair cuticles into a hydrophilic surface with clustered cysteic acid, visualized at the nano-scale using dynamic Chemical Force Microscopy.

This study reports that hair damage from bleaching is associated with the oxidative cleavage of fatty acid thioester bonds, detectable by measuring the decrease in mass spectrometry peak at m / z 76.

This study found that chemical treatments such as hair bleach and UV radiation significantly reduced the amount of 18-methyleicosanoic acid on the outer surface of human hair.

This study suggests that the outermost hair cuticle surface is rich in 18-methyleicosanic acid (18-MEA), supporting previous findings of its multilayer lipid and protein structure.

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.

This study evaluated quercetin's potential as a treatment for cats with Feline Atopic Skin Syndrome, finding it significantly reduced clinical scores in certain symptom groups like Head-and-Neck Pruritus and Miliary Dermatitis, although improvements in oxidative stress markers were not clearly significant.

In this study, researchers synthesized new surfactants with hair repair properties, finding that they effectively restored the hydrophobic barrier of damaged hair and improved combing ease compared to untreated hair, highlighting their potential in haircare products.

This study developed a novel zinc-releasing hydrogel, Zn-Gel, which promoted wound healing by controlling zinc ion release and demonstrated excellent compatibility and efficacy in enhancing cell proliferation, blood vessel formation, and tissue regeneration in vitro and in vivo settings.

In this study, individuals with androgenetic alopecia showed higher serum levels of oxidative stress markers and lower levels of antioxidants, indicating disrupted redox balance and suggesting oxidative stress may accelerate hair loss.

This review covers skin manifestations in chronic kidney disease, highlighting their impact on quality of life, associated prognostic indicators, and available treatments, but provides no new clinical results.

This study found that long-term smoking was associated with increased mitochondrial DNA deletions in hair follicles, especially among smokers with low plasma glutathione S-transferase activity.

This review discusses various skin conditions linked with chronic kidney disease and highlights effective treatments but does not provide new clinical results.

This study found that the alkaline degradation process of hair keratin using nucleophilic reagents led to different proportions of reaction products compared to wool, particularly more lanthionine and lysinoalanine residues.

This study reported that hydrogels created from keratins extracted from human hair exhibit antibacterial properties and enhance tissue regeneration, suggesting their potential use in full-thickness skin repair, as demonstrated by increased collagen production and improved healing in vivo.

This study examined the structural and biochemical mechanisms of human lipocalin prostaglandin D synthase, detailing substrate and product binding processes at the catalytic site and suggesting potential for drug delivery targeting hydrophobic molecules.

This study found that cis-urocanic acid can engage in non-enzymatic reactions with reactive sulphur species, forming new metabolites, and suggests sulphide donors may protect against UVB-related toxicity.

This case report describes a 26-year-old woman with chronic lupus erythematosus who did not improve after receiving eighty doses of gold and sodium thiosulphate.

This study found that alkylation of kerateine cysteine residues created a cell-compatible method for controlling hydrogel erosion rates and therapeutic agent release in keratin-based systems.

A new method strengthens hair without using harmful chemicals.

This report describes eleven cases of thallium poisoning in individuals who consumed tortillas made from barley mixed with thallium sulphate, leading to symptoms including tingling, abdominal pain, vomiting, and limb weakness.

This review discusses the biofunctionalization of hydrogel scaffolds for vascular tissue regeneration and reports promising results from in vivo studies, such as improved angiogenesis and healing in pressure ulcers when using specific peptides.

This study found that, despite the unchanged total level of 18-MEA, deletion of the Sox21 gene disrupts its attachment to the hair cuticle, increases cholesterol sulphate levels, and differentially affects ceramide composition.

This thesis developed stimuli-responsive nanocarriers, demonstrating their potential for targeted genetic material delivery with reduced toxicity and diagnostic applications, and explored pH-sensitive nanogels for effective skin drug delivery and monitoring.

TEC kinases may help cause inflammation in vitiligo and could be targeted for treatment.

This study found that thioglycolic acid molecules in hair treatments are primarily located in intrafibrillar unordered areas, where they redistribute disulfide bonds.

This study found that certain pyrazole derivatives may serve as effective 5α-reductase inhibitors with potential use in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia, based on molecular docking analyses.

This review discusses three classes of thiazole-bearing compounds in drug development and presents preclinical findings but reports no new experimental results, highlighting the need for further drug discovery.

This study observed that keratose, derived from human hair, integrated well in mouse tissue and remodeled with collagen, suggesting potential as a non-toxic biomaterial for regenerative applications.
