A simple method can show hair's surface pattern.

Merino wool fibers change shape with moisture, while human hair shape stays the same.

This study demonstrated how cellular flows and tissue mechanics guide the topological transformations in avian skin, essential for feather follicle development from scales.

In this study, researchers developed a microfluidics-based method for creating uniform, size-controlled stem cell spheroids that enhance osteogenic differentiation when encapsulated in alginate-RGD microgels.

This study presents a follicular automaton model that simulates human hair cycle dynamics and can reproduce hair patterns similar to diffuse or androgenetic alopecia by incorporating spatially heterogeneous parameters and follicle miniaturization.

This study proposes that the terminal tuft structure in sensory nerve endings, involving Schwann cell processes and axon fingers, potentially plays a role in mechano-electric transduction in rats.

This study found that mechanical stress activates a WISP-1/Hedgehog signaling axis that contributes to ligamentum flavum hypertrophy and fibrosis, identifying Hedgehog signaling as a potential therapeutic target.

This review discusses how recent advances in live imaging have revealed the dynamic and adaptable nature of stem cells during various biological processes, and reports no clinical results.

This study suggests that BLMP-1 is important for timely molting and oscillatory gene expression in C. elegans, indicating a potentially conserved mechanism for rhythmic skin regeneration.

This study found that applying benzyl nicotinate on open hair follicles led to a significant increase in blood flow, highlighting the role of the follicular pathway in epidermal penetration.

In this study, researchers found that papain-treated or mechanically altered Asian scalp hair fibers allowed for spontaneous ion movement and anthocyanin dye flow through the medulla tube, with dye flow enhanced by applied DC voltage.

This study found that a single injection of Platelet Rich Stroma improved knee function and reduced pain and stiffness in patients with knee osteoarthritis over twelve months.

This poetic narrative reflects on themes of grief, memory, and aging, without presenting new empirical research findings.

This research reports that essential oils may enhance athletic performance by improving cerebral hemodynamics and promoting muscle and psycho-emotional relaxation through activation of the limbic system.

This study found that in Japanese, German, and American females, changes in hair lipid patterns with age may reflect alterations in sebum excretion and affect hair texture.

This study on feather pattern formation in chicken skin found that inhibiting gap junctional intercellular communication can lead to the emergence of new feather buds in specific spatial patterns, suggesting that GJIC may facilitate Turing-type periodic patterning by propagating inhibitory signals over long distances.

Experiments can shape how feathers grow and develop.

This study found that Florida manatees have unique types of specialized nerve endings in their vibrissae, which assist in their sensory and manipulative functions in aquatic environments.

In this study, a new shading model for hair was developed that better matches real-life light scattering, thanks to detailed new measurements of hair fiber scattering not predicted by existing models.

This study found that VEGF expression and microvessel density in hair follicles of Liaoning cashmere goats follow a bimodal pattern correlated with hair development throughout the year.

This study found that hair follicle patterning in development may arise from a combination of epidermal prepattern signals and mesenchymal self-organisation, with fibroblast growth factor and bone morphogenetic protein activities playing key roles.

This study reports that electromagnetic energy from a hydrocolloid wound dressing paste adversely affected human skin lipid droplets in vitro, but the implications, including potential cancer links, are unknown.

In this study, treating hair with thioglycolic acid was found to alter disulfide bond patterns in keratin-associated proteins, shifting them from an ellipsoidal to a near-spherical shape.

In this study, researchers observed that inhibiting myosin light chain kinase in hair cells reduced stiffness and oscillation in bullfrog hair bundles and increased hearing thresholds in mice.

This study found that rubbing the skin increased caffeine permeation significantly, while rhododendrol showed no enhancement from rubbing, likely due to different distribution patterns in the skin layers.

This study found that the dermal sheath smooth muscle regulates hair follicle progenitor cell death during hair regression through mechanical signaling of the TGF-β pathway.

This study found that RALF peptides, through liquid-liquid phase separation, form condensates with pectin and other proteins, playing a pivotal role in plant development and stress response regulation.

This study investigated the tensile response and morphological changes of different ethnic hair types using AFM, showing variations between virgin, chemically damaged, and conditioner-treated Caucasian hair under different conditions.

In this study, Fgf20 was found to trigger movement and morphogenesis in dermal fibroblasts, facilitating dermal condensate formation essential for hair follicle development.
