This review discusses the potential of strontium-containing electrospun nanofibers for bone tissue engineering, outlining their effects on various cell types and highlighting current research challenges and future perspectives in the field.

This study reported that a new coating made with delaminated Ti₃C₂ MXene nano-sheets and a tea-derived compound effectively protects hair keratin from damage by providing UV screening, thermal dissipation, and antioxidation, while also enhancing mechanical strength and restoring wettability.

This article discusses the social and physical significance of hair and highlights the impressive tensile strength of keratin-rich human hair, reporting no new results.

This study found no significant difference in the tensile properties of hair from different scalp positions, suggesting that microscopic structural heterogeneities may play a role.

This study found that the tensile strength of curly hair is influenced by two main components, with springiness (toe region) contributing significantly, unlike in noncurly hair where it is negligible.

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.

This study analyzed RNA-seq data from various animal breeds and suggested that similar molecular mechanisms may underlie wool fineness in different sheep breeds. Researchers identified 32 candidate genes related to hair follicle regulation, providing insights for molecular breeding and evolutionary studies.

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 study observed that regular coconut oil users have significantly reduced hair irregularities compared to non-oil users, as quantified by a new "hair protection factor" metric, highlighting coconut oil's potential in minimizing hair damage.

This study found that training in a hypoxic chamber did not significantly impact skin features in overweight and obese women, though it did result in a notable reduction in body weight and BMI.

This article provides guidelines and indices for a three-point cantilever bending test to measure mechanical properties of hair treated with both conventional and naturally-derived styling polymers, reporting no new experimental results.

This study found that citric acid treatment can significantly improve the structural integrity and mechanical properties of chemically treated hair, reducing damage by increasing keratin crosslinking density and decreasing crystallized calcium soaps, with varying effectiveness depending on the type of chemical treatment.

This study suggests that mechanical stress may influence androgenic alopecia patterning through a stretch-induced and androgen-mediated mechanotransduction mechanism in dermal papilla cells.

This study found that a hydrogel containing icariin enhanced wound healing and hair-follicle regeneration in vivo by promoting M2 macrophage polarization and modulating the BMP pathway, with treated skin defects showing improved recovery and new hair follicle development compared to untreated defects.

This review highlights that hair's chemical bonds, particularly disulfide bonds, are not homogeneous, as previously thought, but instead vary in response to different cosmetic treatments, suggesting a need for further exploration of ionic bonds and hydrophobic interactions.

This study introduces a spherical skin model that effectively mimics key features of human skin, offering a scalable and rapid alternative for non-animal dermatological and cosmetic testing.
