A cat in Turkey had Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, showing very stretchy skin and easy bruising.

Higher scalp elasticity leads to wider scars after hair transplantation; a new method to measure elasticity may help predict scar size.

The simulation showed that hypobaric pressure improves drug delivery through the skin, but stretching alone doesn't fully explain the increase.

Face-lifts can lead to complications like bleeding, nerve injury, skin death, hair loss, and rare infections, with careful surgery reducing risks.

Hair follicle damage happens during hair transplants and can impact success; better surgical methods are needed.

Scalp laxity, elasticity, and glidability are important in hair transplants and can predict scar width at the donor site.

Human skin has multiple layers and functions, with key roles in protection, temperature control, and appearance.

Skin aging is largely due to differences in stiffness and elasticity between skin layers, leading to wrinkles.

Skin's uneven surface and hair follicles affect its stress and strain but don't change its overall strength, and help prevent the skin from peeling apart.

Skin and its underlying fat layer act together to resist mechanical stress, and reinforcing this composite structure may help more with anti-aging than just strengthening the skin alone.

Hair transplantation in East Asians needs special techniques to ensure natural results and prevent complications due to their unique hair and scalp characteristics.

Hair restoration surgery can have complications; success depends on patient education, careful planning, and proper execution.

Tissue stiffness affects hair follicle regeneration, and Twist1 is a key regulator.

Both Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) and Follicular Unit Excision (FUE) are effective hair transplant methods; the best choice depends on the patient's needs and the surgeon's preference.

Nonshaven follicular unit extraction is a highly satisfactory method for restoring pubic hair.

Alkylation of human hair keratin allows for adjustable drug release rates in hydrogels for medical use.

The stiffness of a wound affects hair growth during healing, with less stiff areas growing more hair.

Suppressing very long chain fatty acids is linked to skin cancer.

Activating c-Myc in skin causes rapid cell growth and changes, but these effects are reversible.

A gene mutation in mice causes skin defects and early death.

Blocking COX, especially COX-2, in the skin can reduce inflammation and pain and may help prevent skin cancer.

Older skin has higher cancer risk due to inflammation and stem cell issues.

Keloid skin disorder involves abnormal fibroblast activation and immune response, linked to a group of genes including FGF11.

The nude gene causes skin cell overgrowth and improper development, leading to hair and urinary issues.

Mice with a Gsdma3 gene mutation have thicker skin and longer hair follicle openings due to increased β-catenin levels.

α-parvin is necessary for skin and hair growth and for the correct orientation of skin cells.

UV exposure reduces Lgr6+ stem cells in mouse skin and they don't significantly contribute to skin cancer development.

The risk of skin tumors becoming malignant depends on the specific skin cell type affected.

Mice are useful for researching human hair loss and testing treatments, despite some differences between species.
