Damaged hair follicles make mice more prone to skin inflammation and skin cancer after UV exposure.
research Lucio Phenomenon: Sequelae of Neglected Leprosy
Early diagnosis of leprosy is crucial to prevent disabilities and spread, even in non-endemic areas.
research THE ET INTERVIEW: HERMAN BIERENS
Herman Bierens had a successful career in econometrics, contributed to education, and plans to continue research after retirement.
research Deciphering the molecular morphology of the human hair cycle: Wnt signalling during the telogen–anagen transformation
Wnt signaling is important for the change from the resting phase to the growth phase in human hair cycles.
research A new look into an old problem: keratins as tools to investigate determination, morphogenesis, and differentiation in skin.
Keratin expression reflects cell organization and differentiation, not causes it.
research Dermoscopy of scalp tumours: a multi‐centre study conducted by the international dermoscopy society
The study concluded that scalp tumors show different patterns based on age, gender, and tumor thickness, and emphasized the importance of early detection and scalp examinations.
research Fatal Rapunzel Syndrome
A child died from eating hair, causing severe stomach blockages and infection.
research Syndrome of Birt–Hogg–Dubé, a Histopathological Pitfall With Similarities to Tuberous Sclerosis
Birt–Hogg–Dubé Syndrome requires genetic testing for accurate diagnosis due to its similarities with tuberous sclerosis.
research Higher Levels of Steroidogenic Acute Regulatory Protein and Type I 3β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase in the Scalp of Men with Androgenetic Alopecia
Men with baldness have higher levels of specific proteins, suggesting local hormone production may play a role in hair loss.
research Laser Capture Microdissection Reveals Transcriptional Abnormalities in Alopecia Areata before, during, and after Active Hair Loss
Alopecia areata involves persistent gene abnormalities and immune activity, even in regrown hair, suggesting a risk of relapse.
research Towards a “free radical theory of graying”: melanocyte apoptosis in the aging human hair follicle is an indicator of oxidative stress induced tissue damage
Oxidative stress causes hair to gray by damaging and killing pigment cells.
research Social isolation‐induced increase in α4and δ subunit gene expression is associated with a greater efficacy of ethanol on steroidogenesis and GABAAreceptor function
Social isolation makes rats more sensitive to alcohol's effects on the brain.
research Electrophoretic variation of hair proteins.
Most people have similar hair protein patterns, but a rare variant was found in two women.
research Digital influencers and the spread of irrational drug use
Social media influencers often promote self-medication, which can be dangerous without professional guidance.
research Direct cellular reprogramming enables development of viral T antigen–driven Merkel cell carcinoma in mice
Scientists made a mouse model of a serious skin cancer by changing skin cells with a virus and a specific gene, which is similar to the disease in humans.
research Review of: "“Toupee or not Toupee?” Sic (et Non). Social perceptions of Male Pattern Baldness (Androgenetic Alopecia)"
Toupees improved perceived attractiveness, especially by older people, but had little effect on perceived self-assurance and health.

Compartmentalized organization might be crucial for stem cells to effectively respond to growth or injury.
research Self‐organizing hair peg‐like structures from dissociated skin progenitor cells: New insights for human hair follicle organoid engineering and Turing patterning in an asymmetric morphogenetic field
Researchers created early-stage hair-like structures from skin cells, showing how these cells can self-organize, but more is needed for complete hair growth.
