This study reported that a new two-point bending stiffness method effectively correlated with sensory assessments for hair styling gels but not for hair styling sprays, likely due to differences in polymer/hair composites.

This study reveals that somatosensory neurons in mouse skin exhibit structural plasticity during hair-follicle regeneration, which may temporarily impair the reliability of encoding gentle touch.

This article explores how societal views on "freaks" have shifted from congenital anomalies to cosmetic surgery-induced appearances, with the authors suggesting this may reflect changing beauty norms and the commodification of uniqueness.

This review highlights the growing use of 3D printing in healthcare, specifically its impact on plastic surgery and prosthetic devices, and stresses the need for further research to address existing knowledge gaps.

This study identified a new FAK isoform, FAKΔe4, which is regulated by ECM stiffness and affects cell migration, invasion, and mechanosensing in human-derived data and engineered models.

In this study, cell membrane remodeling with a thermoresponsive boronic acid copolymer was shown to rapidly form spheroids from cancer or cardiac cell lines under standard conditions, promising advances in tissue engineering.

This study describes a method to create keratin hydrogels with adjustable erosion rates by mixing different ratios of keratose and kerateine, enabling controlled release of therapeutic agents like insulin-like growth factor 1.

This article discusses challenges in hair restoration surgery and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that in stretch-mediated tissue expansion, fibroblasts adopt an embryonic-like, low-collagen state that enhances epidermal stem cell renewal, supporting coordinated skin expansion crucial for reconstructive surgeries.

This study suggests that fibromodulin may regulate transforming growth factor-β activity during scar formation, influencing the transition from fetal scarless repair to adult scar-forming repair in rats.

This study found that culturing fibroblasts on stiffer substrates mimicking fibrotic wounds led to an aligned EDA fibronectin matrix with thinner fibers and decreased YAP activity, suggesting disrupted signaling that might be restored to promote regenerative wound repair.

In this study, researchers used a CRISPR-based method to correct mutations in the COL7A1 gene in stem cells from RDEB patients, restoring normal collagen expression in engineered skin grafts in mice.

This study found that mEGF ethosomal delivery systems mainly penetrated mice skin through the pilosebaceous unit and successfully induced hair follicles to transition from the telogen to anagen phase.

This review discusses spanlastics, advanced elastic vesicles used in drug delivery to enhance bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs, offering improved stability and targeted delivery compared to traditional systems like liposomes and nanoparticles, thus reducing side effects and enhancing therapeutic outcomes.

This study found that encapsulating latanoprost in nanotransfersomes increased skin penetration and improved its cell proliferation effect in vitro, suggesting potential for treating hair growth disorders.

This study demonstrated that gene-corrected 3D skin constructs from RDEB patient-derived iPSCs, grafted onto immunocompetent mice, showed normal collagen VII expression after two months.

This study investigated various animal tissues from adult mice and embryonic chicks, finding that tissue stiffness follows a sub-linear power law relationship with Collagen-I levels, consistent with cellularized collagen gels but not acellular ones.

This review highlights that transferosomes, or ultradeformable lipids, show promise for improving dermal delivery, exhibiting efficient drug transport across the skin's barrier and offering potential benefits for treating chronic skin disorders with better bioavailability.

Collagen scaffolds in cell therapy can transform skin to be more resilient and pressure-responsive.

This study found that modulating BMP activity in transgenic mice affects the development and characteristics of several ectodermal organs, such as skin, hair, and claws, highlighting a stage-dependent influence on organogenesis.

A new method was developed to create better skin models for healing and reconstruction.

In this study, certain cysteine residues in Romney sheep wool fibers were labeled more often during stretching tests, particularly under wet conditions, suggesting variability in their disulfide bond contributions to fiber mechanics depending on hydration.

This study suggests that phenotypic plasticity, including processes like dedifferentiation and transdifferentiation, plays a crucial role in cancer initiation, progression, and therapy resistance, broadening our understanding of cancer dynamics and potential treatment strategies.

In this study, researchers developed a photocurable polyurethane resin for 3D printing, creating high-resolution elastomeric microwell arrays that effectively promote uniform spheroid formation and growth of A549 cells, which could aid in disease modeling and organoid research.

In this study, researchers developed a new variant of the Mercedes flap with releasing incisions for reconstructing medium-sized scalp defects, demonstrating complete defect closure without complications in three patients following a single operation with excellent aesthetic outcomes.

This study conducted in Yemen involving 50 patients found that tissue expansion was effective for correcting scars and defects from post-burn and post-war injuries, achieving a 78% satisfaction rate with minimal complications.

CRISPR/Cas9 and prime editing can potentially fix skin disorder genes safely and effectively.

This article discusses challenges and limitations of using simple tissue mechanics for repairing head and neck skin defects in trauma and does not report new findings; it highlights potential problems with routine methods.
