October 2023 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences” This review examined the pathological effects of mechanical pressure on human skin at the cellular level, highlighting how various skin cell types respond to pressure, potentially leading to pathological changes such as inflammation, ischemia, and impaired differentiation.
This study developed a directional pressure-pump hydrogel delivery platform that enhances wound healing in diabetic mechanically dynamic wounds by targeting antibacterial agents and nanozymes directly to the lesion site, disrupting biofilms, mitigating tissue damage, and supporting proper skin closure and vascular remodeling in animal models.

September 2019 in “Journal of Orthodontics” In this study, a 13-year-old boy developed temporary pressure alopecia from wearing orthodontic headgear, which resolved after discontinuation, highlighting a rare side effect that can affect psychosocial wellbeing.
November 2025 in “Physics of Fluids” In this study, low-intensity ultrasound was investigated as a noninvasive method for promoting hair regrowth in androgenetic alopecia using C57BL/6 male mice, revealing that specific frequencies and intensities can safely enhance hair regrowth compared to controls by optimizing mechanical effects without causing unsafe cavitation.
October 2025 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” This study experimentally validated Lockhart's viscoplastic framework for tip growth in Arabidopsis root hairs by demonstrating alignment with observed growth rates and estimating yield turgor pressure and cell wall viscosity, offering a methodology adaptable to other species and conditions.
