This review summarizes the research on bioactive materials that modulate the skin microenvironment to promote wound healing and highlights the essential role of the fascial layer, without presenting new experimental results.

This narrative review outlines the biological costs of hair extensions, such as traction leading to hair loss and scalp issues, and suggests a prevention-focused model involving risk assessment, surveillance, and tiered therapies to minimize alopecia risk and maintain scalp health.

This study highlights how the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated stress-related dermatological issues like acne and hair loss by affecting skin and hair cycles through stress hormones, emphasizing the need for comprehensive psychoneuroendocrine-informed approaches to diagnosis and treatment.

This study established a model of heat-damaged hair to assess hair care products, finding that daily hair drying for a month causes notable cuticle lifting, reduced mechanical properties, and increased protein release, and the model simulates even more severe damage.

This study reported that fermented grapeseed oil may enhance hair permeability and improve strength and color retention in chemically treated hair compared to regular grapeseed or silicone oils.

In this literature review, it was reported that mental health disorders may both contribute to and be exacerbated by various types of hair loss, and an interdisciplinary treatment model is recommended for effective diagnosis and patient care.

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 open-access journal publishes innovative research articles across various fields but reports no new clinical results in this summary.

This study found that using a microfiber towel to dry human hair better preserves hair keratin integrity and wear resistance compared to blow-drying or using a cotton towel, as indicated by stronger alpha-helix structure in FTIR analysis.

This review details the 2023 International Guideline update for assessing and managing polycystic ovary syndrome, which provides evidence-based recommendations to improve care and patient outcomes but notes the remaining low to moderate quality of evidence.

This study observed that hair properties vary by ethnicity, influenced by genetic, environmental, and cultural factors, and noted that ethnicity-dependent differences in surface charge and other properties warrant further investigation.

In this study, the researchers measured and discussed the friction and wear properties of various hair types against synthetic skin and other hair, finding variations based on factors like ethnicity, hair condition, and environmental conditions.

Zebrafish skin regeneration relies on cell behaviors and reactive oxygen species, with antioxidants reducing and hydrogen peroxide increasing regeneration.

This study found that curcumin nanocrystals efficiently penetrated hair follicles down to the lower infundibulum in an ex-vivo pig ear model, regardless of the gel vehicle used, though passive dermal penetration varied with the vehicle’s skin hydrating properties.

This study identified an optimal sulfate-free and silicone-free conditioning shampoo formulation using 1% hyaluronic acid at 800 kDa, 10% acidic sophorolipid, and 1% sodium chloride, which maintains essential conditioning and cleansing properties without compromising on performance.

This review discusses the roles of peripheral nerves in stem cell and immune responses within the skin and hematopoietic system, emphasizing their potential in developing new therapies; it reports no new experimental results.

This study concluded that Glycolon is the preferred suture material for tooth extraction surgery due to its superior mechanical properties and capillarity compared to other materials.

This review examines how male facial anatomy and behavior contribute to sexual dimorphism in facial aging, pointing to factors that accelerate aging in men but presents no new clinical results.

This article reviews how the microenvironment influences adult stem cell behavior and discusses strategies to enhance stem cell function but reports no new experimental results.

This article reviews current literature on eating behavior disorders and analyzes survey data to differentiate between healthy eating and pathological "orthorexia nervosa.

This study found that IL-9 influences the behavior of human primary keratinocytes by promoting motility while reducing invasion potential through a novel mechanism independent of matrix-metalloproteinases.

This study found that AGO@HPC nanocomposite films demonstrated enhanced mechanical, anti-ultraviolet, and antibacterial properties, suggesting potential for use in antibacterial packaging and wound-dressing applications.

In this study, researchers linked hair composition and mechanical properties to perceived hair quality, suggesting that hair quality may be genetically determined.

This study found that septoplasty simulation in rats led to decreased exploratory behavior and anxiety, suggesting a link between postoperative stress and changes in the hippocampal region.

This study found that kinematic alignment in total knee arthroplasty leads to a higher proportion of patients requiring smaller femoral components compared to traditional mechanical alignment, with statistical significance observed in femoral sizing differences between the two groups.

This study used molecular dynamics simulations to illustrate the complex molecular behavior of the hair surface F-layer, highlighting how fatty acids interact with 18-MEA under different conditions.

This study found that dyed chitin nanofibers maintain color and mechanical properties when reinforcing resins, allowing color addition and strength improvement while retaining transparency.

This review summarizes that polyesters hold promise for vascular tissue engineering due to their mechanical properties and biodegradability, but optimizing their use in repairing damaged blood vessels remains challenging due to the complexity of vascular tissues.

This study found that TRPA1-deficient mice exhibited normal cold sensitivity but had decreased mechanical response in nociceptors, suggesting TRPA1's role in mechanotransduction.

This study found that γδ T cells play a role in regulating stromal behavior, influencing the composition and vascularity of fibrotic tissues during the foreign body response.
