This study suggests that breast cancer-associated phospholipids may alter the X-ray diffraction pattern of hair, potentially enabling the development of a sensitive and specific screening test for breast cancer.

This study found that plasma jets can effectively clean and oxidize human hair fibers, with argon/oxygen plasma having the strongest effects, suggesting potential as an alternative to peroxide treatment.

In this study, researchers explored how hair follicle orientation is affected in the rosette fancy mouse and found that a mutation in the PCP gene Fzd6 caused reversed hair orientations in the posterior region, leading to the formation of unique whorls.

This study found that bioconjugating 16-methylheptadecanoic acid (16-MHA) to damaged hair can mimic the protective properties of 18-methyleicosanoic acid (18-MEA), restoring the hair's structural integrity and moisture homeostasis, even after washing.

This review explores how radiation-induced hair graying can be used as a model to study the mechanisms behind hair graying, focusing on cellular senescence and potential therapeutic targets to address age-related changes. Results are not provided.

This study investigated how vitamin A deficiency, certain diseases, and pregnancy affect cattle coat hair structure, finding notable keratin fibril interference under vitamin A deficiency and structural modifications in chronic renal failure, while pregnant cows exhibited superior hair tensile strength compared to non-pregnant ones.

This study found that hair testosterone concentrations show some consistency over time, but factors like hair washing and individual growth rates influence these levels, suggesting the need for careful sampling and analysis adjustments.

This study found that individuals with premature hair graying had significantly lower levels of antioxidants compared to controls, but the severity of graying did not significantly correlate with oxidative stress levels.

This study explored the structure and function of lipocalin prostaglandin D synthase, revealing its dual role in substrate catalysis and as a lipophilic ligand carrier, potentially informing future drug delivery design.

Hair growth is cyclic and influenced mainly by local factors.

Hard α-keratin in hair has a unique, nonordered structure, different from other fibers.

In this study, human hair follicles showed varying expression of cholesterol transport proteins during the hair cycle, suggesting a potential role of cholesterol in hair growth and cycling.

Men with a certain type of hair loss often use facial moisturizers, and a specific antibiotic treatment may help another hair condition.

This study observed that two patients treated with interferon α-2b and ribavirin for chronic hepatitis C experienced complete and reversible straightening of their natural curly hair, which recurred with treatment resumption.

This study developed granular hydrogels with reversible interparticle cross-linking, finding they offer high mechanical stability and enhance cell recruitment, making them promising for injectable and 3D printable scaffolds in tissue engineering and therapeutic delivery.

In this study, treating hair with thioglycolic acid was found to alter disulfide bond patterns in keratin-associated proteins, shifting them from an ellipsoidal to a near-spherical shape.

In this laboratory study, α-mangostin was found to significantly reduce melanin content and downregulate pigmentation-related genes in cultured skin and B16F10 cells, suggesting potential application as a natural whitening agent in sunscreen development.

This narrative review explores how exercise might help maintain skin homeostasis disrupted by protein deficiency, potentially by promoting processes like increased collagen synthesis and stimulating anti-inflammatory effects, though the exact mechanisms are not entirely understood.

Different types of hair loss in dogs and cats have various causes and treatments, with outcomes ranging from good to uncertain.

Alopecia areata's causes are unclear, treatments exist but relapses are common.

This study found an association between 'short' CAG repeats in the androgen receptor gene and increased non-random X chromosome inactivation in women with androgenic alopecia.

Made 8 minoxidil samples; 1 cocrystal, 7 salts formed.

This study found that low temperature triggers root hair elongation in Arabidopsis thaliana through a FERONIA-ROP2-TORC signaling pathway, also activated by nitrogen deficiency.

In a study using a mouse model of diabetes, chitosan-based hydrogels increased healing markers and improved wound closure and tissue repair compared to untreated wounds, but human efficacy needs further validation.

This study found that in overweight or obese women with PCOS, certain baseline subcutaneous adipose tissue genes significantly predicted weight loss response to a 4-month behavioral lifestyle intervention, with the gene GSTM5 as the strongest predictor.

This study found that snoring during sleep, frequent consumption of bacon and preserved meats, and drinking unboiled water, along with older age and suboptimal health, were associated with a higher likelihood of female androgenetic alopecia in a community-based sample of women in China.

This study found that overexpressing the PCaP2 protein in Arabidopsis enhanced drought tolerance by influencing ABA and SA signaling pathways and regulating root hair growth, suggesting a key role in water deficit response.

This study suggests that human hair follicles may actively suppress natural killer cells, which contrasts with the observed defects in NK cell regulation in alopecia areata.

This study found that CLD-hFGF2 hydrogels improved healing in deep second-degree burn wounds more effectively than hydrogels alone or direct administration of CLD-hFGF2.
