This study found that single-crystal magnesium samples smaller than 100 nm exhibited increased plastic deformation due to greater activation of nonbasal planes as local flow stresses approached 2 GPa.

People with facial disfigurements are judged more negatively, highlighting the social benefits of corrective surgery.

This study reviewed literature on reconstructive surgery, highlighting its role in restoring form and function after significant damage, and discussed common techniques, technological advancements like 3D printing, and challenges, including ethical and psychological considerations, emphasizing the importance of comprehensive patient care and expectation management.

This study found that inadequate thickness of deep dermal tissue in pigs is a key factor leading to fibrosis, with fibrosis likely serving a compensatory function for skin thickness.

This study introduced mechanical setups to analyze the mechanical properties of root hairs in Arabidopsis thaliana, finding that axial stiffness primarily relates to tip compression and turgor pressure, confirmed by independent methods adapted from work on animal cells.

This study suggests that hormonal receptor activity in skin regions undergoing mechanical stretching may influence extracellular matrix metabolism and the formation of SD, with variations in receptor functionality throughout lesion development stages.

This study used confocal Brillouin microscopy to observe that a decrease in tissue compressibility occurs during the development and regeneration of axolotl limbs, suggesting mechanical changes linked to regeneration stages undetectable by fluorescence microscopy.

This study found that Fraser's Dolphin, a tight-skinned mammal, can regenerate complex skin architecture with minimal scarring after large full-thickness wounds, even in high-tension environments, offering insights into regenerative healing mechanisms typically obscured by fibrotic responses.

In this study, researchers developed innovative mechanical methods to measure the mechanical properties of Arabidopsis thaliana root hairs, concluding that axial stiffness is mainly due to tip compression and influenced by turgor pressure.

Chemical treatments damage hair more than UV exposure, making it thinner and less flexible.

This study developed finite element models to examine skin's biomechanical properties, finding that structural heterogeneities like Rete ridges and hair follicles create distinct stress and strain patterns that may influence mechanosensation and skin integrity.

This study investigated the mechanical response of the human hair cuticle to strain and found that cuticular deformation directly corresponded with fiber elongation, revealing significant molecular-level changes in disulfide crosslinks but maintained structural stability, highlighting the role of the cuticle in stress resistance.

This research concluded that the novel hydrogel PlacMA, derived from human placenta and curable by visible light, shows promise for cell culture and tissue engineering applications due to its tunable properties.

This study demonstrates that FMOD deficiency in mice alters TGF-β ligand and receptor expression during wound healing stages, leading to delayed wound closure and increased scar size.

This study found that the protein p63 requires morphogenetic signals to regulate gene expression effectively during skin cell differentiation, highlighting its complex role in therapeutic reprogramming for conditions like epidermolysis bullosa.

This study found that desmosomal cadherin desmoglein 3 loses its rigidity upon Ca2+ removal, regardless of desmosome functional state, suggesting a central role for signaling in hyper-adhesion.

This study examined two cases of bubble hair deformity using light and electron microscopy, suggesting that trauma to the hair shaft may contribute to this condition.

This study demonstrated that hiPSC-derived hair-bearing skin organoids lacked sufficient type VII collagen at the epidermal-dermal junction, indicating a need for further maturation to model certain forms of epidermolysis bullosa effectively.
