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.

This study found that hair damage from sunlight and chemical processes like perms and bleaching varies in internal microstructure changes, suggesting that protective techniques should be tailored to the type of chemical treatment used.

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 paper reviews the surface degradation of hair and describes how combining 18-MEA with specific surfactants can maintain hydrophobicity on bleached and weathered hair surfaces.

This study found that the structure and mineral content of dromedary camel hair, specifically the medulla patterns, medulla index, and elemental composition, change with age, revealing differences among camels aged 1 year, 3-5 years, and 8-10 years.

This study discovered a new region in the hair cortex where intermediate filaments are both aligned with the hair's axis and orientationally ordered, influenced by the cuticle boundary.

This study used ultrahigh-resolution optical coherence tomography to observe hair shaft structures, finding melanin granules absent only in white hair, which may explain color differences between black and white hair.

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 thesis explores how optical coherence tomography and advanced imaging methods may address clinical needs in fields like interventional pulmonology and dermatology, highlighting their potential for disease assessment and staging.

This study found that micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) was highly effective for analyzing the cross-sectional geometry of hair fibres, including the medulla in highly curled hair, but less effective than scanning electron microscopy for surface details.

This study discusses the potential of advanced imaging technologies in dermatology to improve diagnostic accuracy and reduce the need for invasive procedures like biopsies, while noting significant barriers in adoption and accessibility in India due to costs and infrastructure constraints.

This review discusses various topics from the 62nd Annual Montagna Symposium on the Biology of Skin, focusing on the diverse effects of light on skin biology, and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that aging in Korean individuals is associated with changes in hair diameter and surface structure, as observed through atomic force microscopy.

In this study, researchers used synchrotron X-ray imaging to examine rat vibrissa follicles, finding that despite variations in vibrissa length and follicle size, certain sensory structures remain consistent, suggesting specialized roles in sensory processing depending on the vibrissa type.

This study presents two cases correlating the clinical appearance of adult-onset foveomacular vitelliform dystrophy with optical coherence tomography findings, describing the location of the yellow vitelliform material.

A man with both skin lesions and lung cancer improved quickly with chemotherapy, suggesting the skin condition might be a reaction to immune system injury.

Using synchrotron X-ray imaging, this study mapped the complex innervation of male rat vibrissa follicles, revealing distinct types of myelinated afferent neurons and patterns of axonal organization that may inform sensory processing in the brainstem.

This case report describes a 68-year-old woman with metastatic breast cancer who experienced significant improvement in visual acuity after stopping tamoxifen, which was associated with bilateral optic neuropathies.

This paper presents two cases of rare intraorbital ophthalmic artery aneurysms associated with arteriovenous malformations and discusses their clinical presentation, pathogenesis, and management, but reports no new clinical outcomes.

This report describes the clinical and histopathological features of lipoid proteinosis in a brother and sister with lid lesions, highlighting the importance of recognizing such lesions for diagnosis.

This report documents the second known case of Castleman's disease in the lacrimal gland, diagnosed in an 84-year-old woman through histological examination after excising a left upper lid mass.

This review discusses the applications and challenges of lipid nanosystems in various fields, comparing techniques for evaluating nanoparticle properties, and reports no new experimental results.

Hair treatments like bleaching increase friction by exposing tiny pores on the hair surface.

This study found that combining second-harmonic generation with optical coherence tomography may effectively evaluate wound healing by monitoring collagen formation and optical signal changes in regenerated tissue.

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 review highlights that microscopic analysis of human scalp hair remains crucial in forensic science for crime scene investigations, despite limitations such as subjectivity and potential misidentification, and notes that integrating DNA analysis and digital imaging could enhance accuracy.

This study utilized polarized light microscopy to examine hair shafts in ten children with rare genetic disorders, such as Netherton syndrome and ectodermal dysplasia, providing valuable diagnostic insights into hair thickness, composition, and structural irregularities associated with these conditions.
