This article explores the potential applications of polyglutamic acid in cosmetics, discussing its benefits for skincare and haircare, but reports no new experimental results.

This study identified a subtype of itch-sensing neurons in mice, which express Ret and somatostatin, and found that their ablation reduces scratching induced by certain pruritogens.

This study reports that the autotaxin–LPA–LPA3 signaling pathway at the embryo-epithelial boundary plays a critical role in decidualization by up-regulating HB-EGF and COX-2 in the uterine epithelium.

mTORC2 is crucial for healthy skin barrier by regulating lipids and filaggrin.

This study found that mesenchymal progenitor cells from human hair roots seeded onto polymer scaffolds stimulated the production of mineralized proteins, enhancing bone-like structures, with optimal results at a pore size of 35 µm.

This study found that preconditioning adipose-derived stem cells with HB-EGF enhanced their ability to promote hair growth in vivo by increasing their motility, paracrine effects, and survival.

This study observed that lipids in human hair accumulate in specific areas and do not significantly impact water permeability, highlighting the utility of AFMIR for studying complex biomaterials.

This study found that pretreatment with KP-Cryst fusion proteins effectively protected Asian and Caucasian virgin hair from thermal damage by maintaining higher water content and preventing structural changes during heat application.

In this study, desmopressin-loaded elastic liposomes (ODEL1) showed improved permeation and drug deposition across rat skin by altering the skin's cohesive energies and causing reversible changes on its surface.

In this study, researchers found that knocking down the transcription factor Csdc2 inhibited the proliferation of dermal papilla cells in cashmere goats, and identified its regulatory relationship with the gene Robo2, providing insights into the genetic mechanisms influencing cashmere fiber growth.

This article reviews the steps and methods involved in preparing skin tissues for three-dimensional volumetric imaging, highlighting its potential to provide detailed insights into skin structure not possible with traditional 2D histology, but reports no new findings.

The researchers reported that PEG-FGF2 conjugates, particularly Compound 6, significantly enhanced stability, proliferation, migration, and wound healing activity compared to native FGF2, despite some reduction in bioactivity near crucial binding domains.

This review discusses how the hormonal changes of menopause affect skin and hair, highlighting improvements in skin symptoms like dryness and reduced wound healing with estrogen supplementation, and advises healthcare providers to consider broader potential benefits of menopausal hormone therapy when consulting patients.

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 found that a bio-based repair solution containing hydrolysed wool keratin, serine, and transglutaminase improved the physical and chemical properties of damaged hair, increasing its strength, flexibility, and thermal stability while offering long-lasting protection against chemical damage.

This abstract reviews hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets, a rare genetic condition causing severe early childhood rickets, and reports no new results; effective treatment typically requires high doses of calcium to address hypocalcemia and secondary hyperparathyroidism.

This study suggests that IGFBP-2 may play a role in basal cell carcinoma development by mediating epidermal progenitor cell expansion in hair follicles with activated Shh signaling.

This review discusses the similarities between myotonic dystrophy and aging, highlighting the role of cellular senescence in its pathophysiology, and reports no new clinical findings; the authors note potential anti-aging therapy applications.

This exploratory pilot study reported that using a 2% Oleosome-FGF-2 fusion extract scalp serum twice daily for 84 days in women with telogen effluvium and brittle hair improved hair density, anagen/telogen ratio, hair shaft thickness, and scalp hydration compared to a placebo.

This review assesses the potential of smart dressings, engineered to respond to various stimuli, as advanced treatments for chronic inflammatory skin diseases by examining their activation mechanisms and proposing future developments like integrating AI and closed-loop monitoring for adaptive therapy.

In this study, JAUN soap was found to improve skin conditions, such as moisture, elasticity, and cleansing effectiveness, without adverse reactions, suggesting its potential as a safe and effective ingredient for functional cosmetics.

The researchers found that plant extracts from Papaver rhoeas L., Clitoria ternatea L., and Carthamus tinctorius L. are effective natural cosmetic dyes, offering intense and stable colors without cytotoxicity.

In this study, knockout mice lacking the Cyp4f39 gene showed severe skin barrier dysfunction and high early mortality, suggesting its critical role in skin barrier formation and insights into ichthyosis pathogenesis.

This study found that osthole, a coumarin derivative, demonstrated significantly higher skin accumulation and potential skin irritation compared to coumarin, which showed negligible alterations in protein biomarkers.

This study found that men with androgenetic alopecia have different scalp biophysical characteristics in androgen-sensitive areas compared to non-sensitive areas and healthy controls.

The book was the first to focus on the biophysical properties of hair.

This study found that fucoidan extracts from Sargassum glaucescens, particularly oligo-fucoidans, promoted hair growth and increased related gene expression in human dermal papilla cells and mice models.

This study found that a 12-week regimen of a botanical supplement significantly improved skin and scalp health in women exposed to high pollution, enhancing factors like skin radiance, moisturization, and reducing wrinkle depth and scalp redness compared to a placebo.

The researchers reported a high incidence of hyperuricemia in women with PCOS, with positive correlations to testosterone, SHBG, HOMA-IR, and LDL levels, but negative correlations to HbA1C, FPG, and FSI.

In this study, orally administered Centella asiatica extract, standardized for asiaticoside content, significantly improved skin barrier function, elasticity, and reduced signs of UVB-induced photoaging in hairless mice, highlighting its potential as a nutricosmetic for skin health.
