This study reports that microencapsulation of therapeutic cells with contrast agents enables visualization across multiple imaging modalities, potentially improving cellular immunoprotection and tracking after transplantation.

This study identified the distribution of keratin-associated proteins during cornification in the epidermis of reptiles, revealing unique structural characteristics in sauropsid keratin proteins compared to other vertebrates.

In this study, human scalp hair grafted onto nude mice accurately reflected methyl mercury exposure, demonstrating its potential as a research model for monitoring mercury incorporation into human hair.

Oxidation changes the structure of hair protein filaments, causing them to compact and rearrange.

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 suggests that varying intersheet interactions may explain the differences between the two polymorphic forms of macrofibril assembly in Merino wool and hair.

Hair follicles form hard α-keratin filaments in four steps, showing structural differences.

This study identified a marked reduction in melanin in the hair of Yorkshire Terriers with Colour Dilution Alopecia and proposed a new pathogenetic mechanism based on these observations.

This review discusses recent advances in understanding the structural hierarchy of trichocyte keratins, including their heterodimeric structure and distinct conformations impacting hair growth, with no new experimental results reported.

This study observed that insulin-dependent diabetes induces specific molecular changes in the keratin structure of hair, potentially offering a new way to study diabetic complications through easily accessible tissues.

This study found that mechanical damage from grooming and environmental factors contributes to crack formation and eventual breakage in African-American hair, highlighting the need for continuous care.

In this study, researchers found that finasteride exhibits a solid-solid phase relationship that is enantiotropic at normal pressure and becomes monotropic at higher pressure.

This study found that hair follicle tissue effectively induced mineral formation in calcium phosphate solutions, likely due to its nucleating ability, which was lost when the tissue was lyophilized and stored.

This study observed that radiation exposure in male rats activated hepatic stellate cells and the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, mediated by TGF-β1, contributing to liver injury, while the use of a signaling pathway inhibitor reduced these effects.

This study found that while yak belly hair is chemically similar to human hair, its higher porosity and lower mechanical strength limit its usefulness as a substitute in hair dye development.

This study provides conclusive evidence of exogenous calcium fatty acid deposits forming between the cuticle layers in hair, affecting its optical and mechanical properties.

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.

This study found that bioconjugating 16-methylheptadecanoic acid to damaged human hair can mimic the protective function of the original 18-methyleicosanoic acid, effectively restoring both the hair's external structural integrity and its internal moisture balance.

This review discusses the potential medicinal properties and pharmacokinetic features of nettle compounds ursolic acid and quercetin, highlighting quercetin as a promising candidate for antioxidant and anti-aging effects, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that scalp basal cell carcinomas do not appear to behave more aggressively than other types, despite suggestions in the literature.

This study reported the development of a workflow that combines SIMS and X-ray elemental mapping techniques for multimodal imaging at the single cell level, successfully applied to visualize elements, metals, and lipids in porcine skin without loss or delocalization.

PMS nanoparticles improve damaged hair by protecting and restoring its surface and color.

This article on pediculosis lacks an abstract and does not report new research findings.

This article presents a diagnostic case in the Journal of Small Animal Practice and reports no new research findings.

This study is the first to document alopecia in Guadalupe fur seals in the Northeast Pacific Ocean, finding that it may result from nutritional stress due to higher sea surface temperatures.

The document concludes that hair keratin-chitosan scaffolds were successfully made and are suitable for biomedical use.

A new compound was made that might help treat diseases related to male hormones.

This study successfully developed a synthetic route for finasteride that achieves a 30.6% yield and is suitable for industrial production, avoiding the use of expensive or poisonous reagents.

In this study, a new formulation of human placental extract showed antioxidant and neurite outgrowth activities, significantly reduced hair graying in mice, and alleviated neuropathy symptoms, suggesting potential therapeutic benefits.
