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 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 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.

In this study, researchers found that venture capitalists with below-average physical attractiveness are more influenced by the attractiveness of entrepreneurs when making investment decisions, and this sensitivity changes between investment rounds.

This study utilized a pigmented human epidermal equivalent model to incorporate melanocytes into the epidermis and found enhanced differentiation potential compared to conventional in vitro systems, reflecting in vivo cellular trajectories and highlighting melanocyte-to-keratinocyte communication pathways.

This study identified Activin A and its antagonist follistatin as crucial regulators of hair cell differentiation in mice, suggesting a local gradient of Activin A influences auditory sensory epithelium development.

This review argues that the immunocompetence hypothesis, linking masculine facial features to attractiveness through health benefits, lacks sufficient evidence and sidesteps alternative explanations.

This study estimates that approximately 230,000 tactile afferent fibers innervate the human body's skin, with varying densities across different regions correlating with spatial acuity and hair follicle density.

This study found that epithelial cell metabolism exhibits distinct heterogeneity based on cell density, particularly during the pre-epithelial transition stage where clusters of high and low mitochondrial potential cells emerge.

This study estimates that young adults have about 230,000 tactile afferent fibers innervating their skin, with density varying by region and decreasing with age.

This study found that human progenitor keratinocytes form unique complements of enhancers and super-enhancers during differentiation and migration, influencing gene expression and skin disease variant enrichment.

This study reported that novel kainate derivatives, especially ZCZ90, maintained potency in affecting proprioceptive sensory organ firing, aiding future receptor studies for potential treatment innovations.

This study found that the occipital scalp had significantly higher epidermal nerve fiber density than the frontoparietal scalp, which may explain increased sensitivity in some patients.

In this study, researchers observed a high degree of plasticity in somatosensory axons innervating Merkel cells in adult mouse skin, revealing that both epithelial-neural crosstalk and intrinsic neural mechanisms contribute to axonal patterning and remodeling during epithelial homeostasis.

This study observed a high degree of plasticity in somatosensory axons innervating Merkel cells in mouse skin, finding that both axons and Merkel cells underwent dynamic remodeling, with their interactions influencing axonal branching and maturation.

This study found that sensory and sympathetic innervation in the mystacial pads of mice is governed by a balance of neurotrophin signaling, highlighting the roles of NGF/trkA and NT-3/trkC pathways.

This study found that robotic training with the Ekso-GT significantly improved body representation and quality of life in spinal cord injury patients compared to conventional physical therapy.

This study found no overall side preference for hair growth on the scalp, yet many healthy individuals tend to grow more hair on one side, suggesting that genetics and possibly behavioral or environmental factors may influence this pattern.

This study presents a hypothesis that the EDAR V370A allele was positively selected in East Asian populations due to the stable aquatic resources in Late Pleistocene northern China, which may have offset the allele's metabolic costs and provided a selective advantage.

This study found that in adult mouse skin, somatosensory axon plasticity is highly dynamic and influenced by epithelial-neural crosstalk and intrinsic neural mechanisms.

This study found that mutant glucocorticoid receptors have defective transcriptional activity and dynamic motility issues in the nucleus, likely due to impaired interactions with nuclear molecules necessary for gene activation.

This study suggests that fibroblast growth factors exhibit significant expression differences in rodent and primate skin, potentially related to their evolutionary paths and environmental adaptations.

In this study, transgenic mice overexpressing the glucocorticoid receptor in certain epithelia showed skin development abnormalities resembling ectodermal dysplasia and exhibited reduced inflammatory responses.

This review discusses the role of enhancers and super-enhancers in tissue-specific gene regulation and cancer development, and it reports no new experimental results.

In this study, researchers propose that the EDAR V370A allele's positive selection in East Asian populations may be linked to stable aquatic resources from Late Pleistocene ecosystems in northern China, suggesting a "nutritional niche construction" framework where these resources offset the allele's metabolic costs.

This study found that the combination of Stemoxydine® and Resveratrol improved hair density in women with Female Pattern Hair Loss.

This study proposes a new mathematical model, the Harmonic Mean equation, for precisely quantifying nuclear pleomorphism in breast cancer grading, showing high performance with accuracy, recall, specificity, precision, and F1-score metrics.

This study found that male hairlines naturally exhibit significant rightward asymmetry, suggesting that embracing this asymmetry in hair transplant procedures may result in more natural-looking outcomes.

This study found that hair implant needles with longer point lengths and smaller bevel angles required less total work for insertion, which corresponded with surgeons' perceptions of insertion force differences.
