research Perspectives and Challenges of Hair Analysis
Hair is a complex organ, and understanding its detailed structure and growth phases is crucial for analyzing substances within it.
research Squarticles as a nanocarrier for targeting minoxidil to hair follicles and dermal papilla cells
Squarticles, tiny particles made from sebum-derived lipids, can effectively deliver minoxidil, a hair growth drug, directly to hair follicles and skin cells, with less skin penetration and more tolerability.
research A Review on Forensic Toxicological Analysis of Drugs in Hair using Various Instrumental Techniques
Hair analysis is better than urine and blood for detecting past drug use.
research Inducing hair follicle neogenesis by defined extracellular factors
Certain factors can start hair growth in adult skin by making cells communicate and form new hair follicles.
research Peer Review #2 of "Human hair shaft proteomic profiling: individual differences, site specificity and cuticle analysis (v0.1)"
The research found that people's hair proteins vary, especially by ethnicity and body part, which could help identify individuals in forensic science.
research Peer Review #1 of "Human hair shaft proteomic profiling: individual differences, site specificity and cuticle analysis (v0.1)"
The research found that people's hair proteins vary by individual and body part, with some differences between ethnic groups, which could help in forensics.

research Corneal Limbal Microenvironment Can Induce Transdifferentiation of Hair Follicle Stem Cells into Corneal Epithelial-like Cells
Hair follicle stem cells can become corneal-like cells, potentially helping restore vision.
research A Monoallelic Two-Hit Mechanism in PLCD1 Explains the Genetic Pathogenesis of Hereditary Trichilemmal Cyst Formation
A specific gene change plus an additional mutation in the same gene cause hereditary trichilemmal cysts.
research Molecular mechanisms of ectodermal dysplasia syndromes
Ectodermal dysplasia syndromes are caused by disruptions in key signaling pathways affecting tooth and hair development.
research Major depletion of SOX2+ stem cells in the adult pituitary is not restored which does not affect hormonal cell homeostasis and remodelling
The pituitary gland functions normally even after losing most SOX2+ stem cells.
research Tinea capitis: no incision nor excision
Surgery is not the right treatment for a fungal scalp infection; proper medical treatment is needed.
research The endoscopic surgical monitoring system-guided impact factors exploring of blood loss and fluid absorption during plasmakinetic TURP: a prospective study in high-risk BPH patients
Larger prostate size, longer surgery, and smoking increase risks, while finasteride and experienced surgeons reduce them during prostate surgery.
research ′Swiss cheese′ appearance of dilated follicular infundibula in trichotillomania
The 'Swiss cheese' pattern in scalp biopsies can indicate trichotillomania, not just alopecia areata.
research Regression of Pathologic Changes Induced by the Long-term Administration of Contraceptive Steroids to Rodents
Some steroid-induced health issues in rodents improved after stopping treatment, but hair loss and eye problems did not.
research A study of etretinate alopecia
Etretinate treatment changed hair growth patterns in many patients.
research Diagnostic delay, comorbid hidradenitis suppurativa and the prognostic value of bacterial culture in folliculitis decalvans: A cohort study
Educating dermatologists and screening for related conditions are crucial for treating folliculitis decalvans effectively.
