This study found that excessive heat caused the most significant structural changes in hair from Caucasian and Afro samples, especially when combined with other treatments like bleaching and straightening.

This study identified distinct gene expression patterns in wool follicle bulbs that may play important roles in wool follicle cycling and regeneration in sheep.

This study found that Super Merino sheep have a higher wool follicle density, finer fleece, and distinct gene expression compared to Small Tail Han sheep, which may inform future breeding and genetic interventions.

This study describes two methods for isolating hair follicle stem cells from newborn Yangtze River Delta White Goats, highlighting differences in cell viability and marker protein expression between the methods.

This study found that while both natural and bioengineered salivary glands showed similar protein concentrations in response to taste stimulation, their protein compositions and amylase concentrations differed, which may affect nerve signal balance.

This review summarizes research on the synthesis and gene regulation of keratin in hair follicles, noting that coordinated gene activity is essential for hair follicle differentiation and normal hair growth, with gene clusters suggesting possible global regulatory domains.

This review summarizes advances in understanding the genetic regulation of keratin synthesis in hair follicles and reports no new experimental results.

This study utilized the DNP–SANS technique on human hair for the first time and found significant changes in the SANS profile dependent on polarization conditions, providing insights into the structural composition and dynamic properties of keratin and its associated proteins.

In this preclinical study, researchers found that combining equal ratios of high molecular weight keratin intermediate filaments and low molecular weight keratin-associated proteins from human hair led to the most extensive fibrinogen precipitation, suggesting potential for developing effective hair protein-based hemostatic materials.

This study observed that in a mouse model of androgenetic alopecia, treatments with LTF, 5% minoxidil, and LTF-DPC-EXO significantly promoted hair regeneration compared to the model group, potentially through modulation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

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 provides evidence for K1 and K10 derivatives' presence in the inner root sheath and hair cuticle, suggesting that these hair follicle parts may follow familiar keratinization principles.

In this study, a missense mutation in the MAP2 gene was found to be associated with reduced hair follicle density, leading to the hairless phenotype in pigs.

This study found no significant association between serum levels of vitamin B12, folate, TSH, ferritin, zinc, or anxiety scores and trichodynia in telogen alopecia patients.

This study found that the moisture sorption and desorption process can differentiate between cosmetic treatments of hair and provide insights into hair fibre structure changes, with bleaching causing greater symmetry breaking than perming.

This study found that vitamin D levels were significantly lower in men with androgenetic alopecia compared to healthy controls, while ferritin levels showed no significant difference.

This study found that women with lower hair loss six months after bariatric surgery consumed more zinc and iron and showed less compromise in the nutritional status of these minerals compared to women with more significant hair loss.

This study developed a partially automated protocol utilizing hair follicles for DNA extraction in marmosets, achieving reliable whole genome sequencing with low chimerism, offering an efficient alternative to blood for genetic studies in non-human primates.

In this study, researchers developed a non-invasive, partially automated protocol for extracting DNA from marmoset hair follicles, resulting in high-quality whole genome sequencing with low chimerism levels, making it a reliable method compared to blood DNA sequencing in these primates.

This study found that patients with alopecia areata had higher levels of ESR, CRP, and mean platelet volume compared to controls, and that these markers, along with the neutrophils to lymphocytes ratio, were associated with increased disease severity.

This study found that isotretinoin decreases mTORC1 signaling in acne skin, suggesting that mTOR inhibitors may have potential therapeutic benefits for acne patients.

This study describes a computational method using side-effect data from social media to identify new drug indications, suggesting it could be effective for drug repositioning.

This study found that adding sheep wool-waste or human hair-waste to soil increased yields and secondary metabolites in various crops and supported up to five harvests without additional fertilizers, though it decreased mycorrhizae colonization.

This study found that the signaling peptide CLE40 and receptor proteins CLV2 and CRN regulate root meristem differentiation through two distinct, antagonistic pathways activated by CLE40 in a dose-dependent manner.

This study found that oxidative treatment with peracetic acid dissociates some disulfide bonds in human hair fibers while maintaining the crystalline structure, suggesting different mechanisms stabilize different regions of intermediate filaments.

This review outlines the physiological roles of zinc transporters and their involvement in human diseases, emphasizing their molecular, biochemical, and genetic mechanisms without presenting new research findings.

This study found that despite strong homology between two K16 genes, only one encoded a functional protein that assembled into keratin filaments in epithelial cells, possibly due to promoter strength differences.

This study found that among the two highly homologous K16 genes on chromosome 17, only one produced a functional protein due to stronger promoter activity.

This paper reviews several dermatological studies, including findings on hair growth, skin damage, bullous pemphigoid, and psoriasis treatments, and reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the structure, expression, regulation, and potential functions of the nuclear receptor coactivator NcoA4 in cancerous and non-cancerous pathologies, but reports no new results.
