research Impact of Substrate Stiffness on Dermal Papilla Aggregates in Microgels
Softer hydrogel surfaces help maintain hair growth-related functions in skin cells.
research MicroRNA-205 Promotes Hair Regeneration by Modulating Mechanical Properties of Hair Follicle Stem Cells
MicroRNA-205 helps hair grow by changing the stiffness and contraction of hair follicle cells.
research Biomechanics of Hair Fiber Growth: A Multi-Scale Modeling Approach
The model shows that factors like follicle shape and stiffness are key for hair growth and anchoring.
research Mechanical Forces of Human Dermal Fibroblasts Significantly Decrease with Age
Skin cell strength decreases significantly as we age.
research IL-9 Mediated Human Primary Keratinocytes Invasion Is Dependent on MLC Controlled Contractility and Independent of MMP Activity
IL-9 increases skin cell movement but decreases their ability to invade, and this effect is controlled by cell contractility, not by MMPs.
research Mechanosensitive Lymphocytes Potentiate Wound Repair by Regulating Inflammation and Extracellular Matrix
Lymphocytes, a type of immune cell, are crucial for wound healing as they help remodel damaged areas and reduce inflammation.
research In Search of the Common Mechano-Chemical Pathways During the Regeneration of Spiny (Acomys Cahirinus) and Laboratory (Mus Musculus) Mouse Skin
Spiny mice regenerate skin better than laboratory mice due to larger hair bulges, more stem cells, and different collagen ratios.
research Mechanical Forces in Skin Disorders
Skin problems can be caused or worsened by physical forces and pressure on the skin.
research Use of Condensed Nanofat Combined With Fat Grafts to Treat Atrophic Scars
Condensed nanofat with fat grafts effectively improves atrophic facial scars.
research Improved Humoral Immunity and Protection Against Influenza Virus Infection With a 3D Porous Biomaterial Vaccine
A new vaccine using a porous scaffold boosts immunity and protects against the flu better than traditional methods.
research The Extracellular Matrix Dictates Regional Competence for Tumor Initiation
The extracellular matrix affects where tumors can start in the body.
research Keratin-Based Particles for Protection and Restoration of Hair Properties
Keratin-based particles safely improve hair strength, smoothness, and heat protection.
research Quantifying the Effects of Repeated Dyeing: Morphological, Mechanical, and Chemical Changes in Human Hair Fibers

research Minoxidil Improves Vascular Compliance, Restores Cerebral Blood Flow, and Alters Extracellular Matrix Gene Expression in a Model of Chronic Vascular Stiffness
Minoxidil improves blood flow and vessel flexibility, potentially helping with vascular stiffness.
research Modulating the Stem Cell Niche for Tissue Regeneration
Changing the environment around stem cells could help tissue repair, but it's hard to be precise and avoid side effects.
research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
research Extracellular Matrix as a Regulator of Epidermal Stem Cell Fate
The extracellular matrix is crucial for controlling skin stem cell behavior and health.
research Current Understanding of the Pathways Involved in Adult Stem and Progenitor Cell Migration for Tissue Homeostasis and Repair
The document concludes that understanding how adult stem and progenitor cells move is crucial for tissue repair and developing cell therapies.
research New Substrates for Stem Cell Control
New materials help control stem cell growth and specialization for medical applications.
research Development of a Stiffness-Angle Law for Simplifying the Measurement of Human Hair Stiffness
Hair stiffness increased by 13.2% after caffeine treatment, validating the Stiffness-Angle Law as an effective measurement method.
research Integration of Magnetic Tweezers and Traction Force Microscopy for Exploring the Mechanobiology of Keratinocyte Cell-Cell and Cell-Matrix Anchoring Junctions
The conclusion is that a new method combining magnetic tweezers and traction force microscopy may help understand skin cell interactions and diseases.
research YAP And TAZ Are Essential For Basal And Squamous Cell Carcinoma Initiation
YAP and TAZ proteins are necessary for the development of two types of skin cancer.
research The Structural and Functional Aspects of Hair Cell Regeneration in the Chick as a Result of Exposure to Intense Sound
Chickens exposed to loud noise can quickly regain hearing mostly due to repair of the tectorial membrane, not just hair cell regeneration.
research Reduced Cell Cohesiveness of Outgrowths from Eccrine Sweat Glands Delays Wound Closure in Elderly Skin
Older people's sweat glands are less effective at helping skin wounds heal due to weaker cell connections.
research Epidermal Cells Expressing Putative Cell Markers in Nonglabrous Skin Near the Distal End of the Arrector Pili Muscle
Certain skin cells near the base of hair muscles may help renew and stabilize skin, possibly affecting skin disorder understanding.
research Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Vitamin D Deficiency in an Adult Sudanese Patient with Sickle Cell Trait
