research LB1081 Three-dimensional imaging of tight junction-network across multiple layers of human epidermis by array tomography using backscattered electron-mode scanning electron microscopy
The study found that tight junctions reach the top layer of the skin's stratum granulosum, not just the second top layer as previously thought.
research Fourier Transform Infrared Attenuated Total Reflection Analysis of Human Hair: Comparison of Hair from Breast Cancer Patients with Hair from Healthy Subjects
Hair from breast cancer patients shows changes in structure and composition, and a test using these changes detected cancer but also falsely identified some healthy samples as cancerous.

The triple-wavelength diode laser effectively and safely reduces hair and improves skin appearance in people with darker skin.
research Three hundred and eight nanometer excimer light therapy for alopecia universalis that is resistant to other treatments: A clinical study of 11 patients
308-nm excimer light therapy helped over a third of treatment-resistant alopecia universalis patients regrow most of their hair.
research Hair transparency decoding in Asia: From stylists’ perception to in vitro measurement
Higher hair luminosity and shine mean higher perceived transparency.
research Protein Kinase C δ Overexpressing Transgenic Mice Are Resistant to Chemically but not to UV Radiation–Induced Development of Squamous Cell Carcinomas: A Possible Link to Specific Cytokines and Cyclooxygenase-2
Mice with extra PKCδ resist chemical-induced skin cancer but not UV-induced.

Hair with more melanin resists weather damage better.
research A simple assay for the study of human hair follicle damage induced by ionizing irradiation
Ionizing radiation damages human hair follicles by stopping cell growth, causing cell death, disrupting color, and increasing stress and damage markers.
research Variations in the optical scattering properties of skin in murine animal models
Male mice have thicker skin, causing more light scattering than females.
