December 2013 in “PLoS ONE” The postnatal thymus has cells like mesenchymal stem cells that can become different cell types and help maintain thymus structure.
April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” The study found that p63 needs signals from morphogens to help skin cells differentiate properly.
September 2022 in “World Journal of Advanced Research and Reviews” The study explored the Airtouch hair coloring technique, which uses controlled airflow instead of backcombing, focusing on how sectioning should be adapted for different hair densities (fine, medium, thick) to achieve optimal results. A mixed-methods approach revealed that factors like slice thickness (0.5–1.5 cm), section angle, airflow intensity, and developer volume need to be adjusted according to hair density to ensure natural blending, pigment longevity, and hair integrity. The study proposed a Density-Calibrated Airtouch Protocol (DCAP) to guide professional colorists, with implications for cosmetology education and research in trichology and cosmetic science.
