This study introduces a magnet-assisted fabrication strategy for creating complex 3D soft bioscaffolds, demonstrating its effectiveness by producing structures with overhangs and supporting biohybrid actuators, promising advancements in biomedical applications.

This case report describes a successful frontal region reconstruction using Cerament for a 50-year-old man, resulting in satisfactory forehead morphology and improved appearance four years post-surgery.

In this study, AFM-based indentation was used to assess mechanical properties of murine skin wounds at two healing stages, revealing that early wounds exhibit stiffer hyperproliferative epithelium compared to granulation tissue, and highlighting significant influences of surface roughness on tissue stiffness measurements.

This study identified a unique concentric double-layered structure in both Japanese and Caucasian SHINAYAKA hair, associated with improved flexibility and elasticity, and developed a succinic acid treatment to enhance these properties.

Mesenchymal stiffness affects sweat gland cell development.

This study reports that in vitro experiments suggest biomagnetic cross-talk between red blood cells and human hairs as a potential factor influencing RBC deformation.

This study observed that donor strip scar width after hair transplantation was correlated with preoperative scalp laxity and elasticity but not with glidability.

This study characterized the stress-strain properties of the human scalp and found that its stiffness increases significantly with load, providing valuable insights for planning scalp surgery procedures.

This study found that human hair exhibits significant deformation in its intermediate filaments under strain, with recovery taking about 1000 minutes, suggesting a self-healing period post-mechanical stress. Additionally, cuticle scales deform much less than the cortex, and the Poisson ratio aligns with soft matter properties.

Tissue stiffness affects sweat gland development by guiding cell differentiation through specific signals.

This abstract discusses the importance of thoroughly evaluating donor area characteristics like hair density and scalp elasticity in planning hair transplantation, but it reports no new research findings.

This study conducted in situ tensile loading experiments with atomic force microscopy to observe how conditioning treatments affect the tensile response of virgin, chemically damaged, and mechanically damaged Caucasian hair.

This study found that mature dermal adipocytes have high plasticity, undergoing dedifferentiation and redifferentiation, which plays a significant role in hair cycling and wound healing.

The researchers reported that yak hair fibers undergo macromolecular conformational changes and partial slippage of macromolecules during stretching, confirming this as the main stretching mechanism when the stretching ratio is large.

This study reports that pulsed biomagnetic fields may play a role in the deformation of red blood cells by facilitating cross-talk between RBCs and human hairs in vitro.

This article provides an overview of hair restoration surgery options and applications for cosmetic and reconstructive hair deformity treatment and reports no clinical results.

This study developed granular hydrogels with reversible interparticle cross-linking, finding they offer high mechanical stability and enhance cell recruitment, making them promising for injectable and 3D printable scaffolds in tissue engineering and therapeutic delivery.

Merino wool fibers change shape with moisture, while human hair shape stays the same.

This study found that the moisture content of human hair significantly influences the type of fracture under tensile loading, with low or high humidity levels leading to smooth fractures and intermediate humidity resulting in step fractures.

This review discusses the post-burn deformities seen after healing from acute burns and emphasizes the need for integrated, multidisciplinary management to prevent these sequelae; it reports no new clinical results.

This study introduced a novel method that uses upright structured illumination microscopy and atomic force microscopy to map the mechanical properties of thick living tissue slices, revealing the intricate mechanical heterogeneity of mouse skin and effects of preservation techniques on tissue stiffness.

This study reports that in vitro experiments suggest a new biomagnetic cross-talk between red blood cells and human hair could be a factor in red blood cell deformation.

This study found that in both rodents and humans, knee laxity increased at certain phases of the reproductive cycle due to sex-steroid influence, particularly under high levels of estrogen and progesterone.

This study found that custom alloplastic implants achieved a 95% success rate in reconstructing large cranial defects from warfare-related injuries, but frontal defects near airways and orbits showed higher infection and implant removal rates.

In this study, the authors found that applying hypobaric pressure to the skin significantly increases the transdermal permeation of large molecules by enhancing diffusion, despite the associated skin stretching and hair follicle enlargement not fully explaining this effect.

This study found that suspension culture was more effective than hydrogel-based systems for maintaining spheroid morphology and differentiation of human iPSC-derived definitive endoderm cells.

This study observed that applying a pulling force to hair follicles led to significant compression of nuclei in certain cell layers and distinct collagen changes at different follicle depths.

This study observed that hair cuticles experience greater water-induced plasticization than hair cortex, affecting the torsional rigidity of hair fibers, which may help predict hair setting behavior.

In this study, the bending stiffness of human hair was linked to the varying proportions of para-like versus ortho-like cortical cells within the hair fiber.
