This study proposed a network model for the cross-linked structure of keratin-associated proteins in hair and wool fibers, suggesting notable differences between the two, potentially affecting hair fiber elasticity.

This study found that the Elastic Verhoeff–Van Gieson stain may help differentiate between follicular streamers and scars in cicatricial and noncicatricial alopecias by highlighting differences in the elastic fiber network on horizontal scalp biopsy sections.

This study suggests that age-related changes in skin elasticity reduce its stability against wrinkling, and anti-aging strategies should focus on addressing elastic mismatches between skin layers.

This review found that 3D bioprinting significantly advances skin tissue engineering by enabling the creation of complex, patient-specific skin structures, though technological and regulatory challenges persist, particularly in areas like scalability and physiological mimicry.

This ex vivo study reported that melatonin significantly improved certain aging biomarkers in aged human skin, including reduced mTORC1 activity, increased fibrillin-1, and enhanced collagen and elastic fiber organization, though other key biomarkers remained unchanged.
