This study found that elastic fibre arrangements in the skin of domesticated mammals vary with hair density, with densely-haired species having horizontal fibres and sparsely-haired ones exhibiting a sponge-like system.

This article reviews the potential of inhalation therapy to restore pulmonary elastin fibers in COPD patients and highlights the need for studies to test its feasibility; it reports no new research findings.

This study found that the X-ray patterns of stretched mammalian hair (β-keratin) are similar to those of natural silk (fibrion), suggesting a similar elastic mechanism involving reversible intra-molecular transformations.

Minoxidil treatment in mice preserved the integrity of elastic lamellae and improved arterial biomechanical properties, especially in females, suggesting it could be an anti-arterial aging agent potentially suitable for female-targeted therapies.

This review discusses the significance of elastic tissue staining in dermatopathology, particularly for diagnosing primary elastic tissue disorders and other skin conditions, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that a blend of low- and high-molecular weight hyaluronic acid significantly improved penetration into the hair cortex compared to individual HA types, reducing frizz and increasing hair elasticity and water content, as measured by Confocal Raman Spectroscopy.

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.

This article reviews the structure and function of the skin and its importance for understanding skin diseases, without providing new clinical results.

This article reviews over 1000 skin diseases affecting patients' quality of life and highlights the importance of understanding skin biology and pathology, but provides no new results.

This article discusses the structure and function of the skin and its role in skin disease pathophysiology and reports no new research findings.

Understanding skin, hair, and nails is crucial due to their complexity and impact on health.

In this study, higher expression levels of aromatase and steroidogenic acute regulatory protein were correlated with increased estrogen synthesis and fewer hair follicles in human skin, suggesting a link to elastic fiber formation and hair growth.

This study suggests that age-related changes in skin elasticity reduce its stability against wrinkling, and anti-aging strategies should focus on addressing elastic mismatches between skin layers.

This article describes a case of late-onset focal dermal elastosis in a 73-year-old woman, characterized by flat pale yellow lesions and increased normal elastic fibers, distinct from pseudoxanthoma elasticum.

EF and PXE not closely related.

This study found that skin thickness in Bakerwali goats increased with age, with notable histological differences in these layers across diverse regions of the body.

The skin protects the body, regulates temperature, senses touch, and makes vitamin D.

This source underscores the importance of understanding skin structure and function to comprehend both healthy skin biology and skin disease pathophysiology, highlighting skin's extensive involvement in healthcare due to infections, drug reactions, and diseases like psoriasis.

This review examines the clinicopathologic features of perifollicular elastolysis and indicates that, while its presentation is consistent, there is a lack of high-certainty evidence for effective treatments.

In this study, UVB irradiation increased mast cell degranulation only when skin was innervated, suggesting that the interaction between mast cells and nerve fibres may exacerbate solar elastosis by promoting dysfunctional dermal elastic fiber accumulation, but further research is needed for confirmation.

This study observed that in Assam Hill Goats, the primary hair follicles had larger diameters and more structural associations compared to secondary follicles, especially in ruminant-age groups.

This study systematically characterized the nanomechanical properties of human hair, such as hardness and elastic modulus, across different ethnicities and treatment conditions using nanoindentation and scanning electron microscopy.

This study found that treatment with mercuric acetate modifies the elastic properties of Lincoln wool fibers more rapidly than human hair, explaining the enhanced unshrinkable quality of wool under certain conditions.

The researchers concluded that hairless dogs can serve as an effective model for studying hypertrophic scarring due to their development of scars with morphological similarities to human hypertrophic scars.

This study observed that both TCA (35%) and GA (70%) chemical peels improved skin morphology and stimulated bulge stem cells in albino rats, with no significant difference between the two agents.

In this study, hyaluronic acid filler injections in albino rats increased subcutaneous tissue thickness, collagen and elastic fibers, and vascularization, suggesting potential benefits for combating skin aging and defects.

This study found that a six-month treatment with isoflavone-rich soy extract significantly increased epidermal thickness, elastic and collagen fibers, and blood vessels in the skin of postmenopausal women.

This article explains the structure and multifunctional roles of the human skin, including its protective, regulatory, and sensory functions, but does not report new research findings.

This review found limited but suggestive evidence that Calcium Hydroxylapatite may promote skin regeneration through increased collagen production, cell proliferation, and angiogenesis, although most studies had methodological limitations.

In this study, researchers reported that oral isotretinoin effectively treated facial papules in frontal fibrosing alopecia, with histopathologic findings suggesting the involvement of elastic fibers and sebaceous glands in papule formation beyond perifollicular inflammation.
