Human hair's structure makes it tough and resistant to breaking.

This article finds that while plastic surgeons in India experience a high prevalence of WRMDs due to high case loads, applying ergonomic practices could help reduce these issues.

Atomic Force Microscopy is a more accurate way to assess hair damage and the effect of cosmetic treatments.

In this study, researchers used atomic force microscopy to evaluate mechanical stiffness across different skin layers in six participants, finding the highest stiffness in the epidermis and lower stiffness as layers progress to subcutaneous tissue, enhancing understanding of skin's physical properties and aiding future research.

This paper describes the development of unique hydrogel skin scaffolds from plant-derived polysaccharide mixtures that may offer improved biocompatibility and mechanical properties for use in artificial skin.

The researchers in this study found that neonatal mouse skin fibroblasts show distinct chromatin landscapes directing differentiation into dermal papilla or adipocyte lineages, and such plasticity may inform strategies for enhancing regenerative capacities in adult skin.

This study found that depleting fibroblasts in the skin does not affect the proliferative capacity of epidermal stem cells at various ages, suggesting robust compensatory mechanisms maintain skin functionality despite these cellular changes.

This study found that alkylation of kerateine cysteine residues created a cell-compatible method for controlling hydrogel erosion rates and therapeutic agent release in keratin-based systems.

This study presents a new method for evaluating cosmetic treatments by measuring the resistance of hair to mechanical wear, revealing differences related to hair ethnicity and treatment type.

This case study highlights that RDEB-mitis can be misdiagnosed in older adults, emphasizing the importance of accurate diagnosis as it does not require immunosuppressive treatment.

This study investigated the histopathology of ectodermal dysplasia/skin fragility syndrome, identifying specific skin and hair abnormalities associated with PKP1 gene mutations in two young female patients.

The researchers reported that hydrogels made from methacrylated glycol chitosan and hyaluronic acid with chondroitin sulfate may be suitable for load bearing soft tissue repair, showing enhanced chondrocyte viability and metabolic activity.

This study developed new immortalized keratinocyte cell lines lacking COL7A1 using CRISPR/Cas9 technology, providing a valuable model to explore the biology and treatment options for recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa.

This document outlines a defensive publication on restoring gap-junction-mediated morphogenetic field connectivity to address disorders of tissue function, with no new clinical results reported.

This study found that the KrasG12D mutation alters ERK signal dynamics in hair follicle stem cells, leading to tissue deformation, and suggests a collective effect of mutant cells is necessary for disruption.

This study indicated that abnormal Bmp signaling in β-catenin gain-of-function mutants is associated with anorectal malformations, shedding light on potential mechanisms underlying these congenital conditions.

This case report describes a patient with a rare combination of imperfect osteogenesis and Escobar syndrome, highlighting the genetic complexity and clinical manifestations of these conditions.

This study found that keratin fibers like human hair undergo thermal and mechanical transitions that can help assess changes from cosmetic processes such as bleaching and perm-waving.

In a study on wound healing, researchers described injectable POEGMA‐DA hydrogels as a promising non-toxic alternative to traditional wound closure methods, showing effective tissue adhesion and enhanced regeneration of skin structures in a mouse model without significant inflammation.

This study found that mouse embryoid bodies adhered quickly and differentiated efficiently into cardiomyocytes on negatively charged poly(sodium p-styrene sulfonate) hydrogels, similar to their behavior on gelatin-coated polystyrene.

This research found that a biodegradable fibrous membrane incorporating fibroblast-derived ECM accelerated wound healing and improved neovascularization in a mouse model.
