This study found that small proline-rich proteins modify the biomechanical properties of cornified cell envelopes in rodent forestomachs, potentially affecting the tissue's ability to withstand mechanical stress.

This study observed that the thinning and structural abnormalities in monilethrix-affected hair occur at the internodes due to possible periodic dysfunction of the hair matrix, particularly in the cortex.

This study explored the structure and keratin composition of marsupial hairs, finding similarities in keratin localization to hairs in placental mammals, and highlighting potential roles of trichohyalin and transglutaminase during hair development and shedding.

This study found that keratin filament networks in SG1 cells of mice undergo dynamic changes during cornification, impacting the barrier function of the stratum corneum.

Junctional proteins stabilize the inner root sheath and connect the companion layer in human hair.

This study found that fibronectin supports hair follicle regeneration by influencing stem cell behavior through integrin-dependent mechanotransduction, highlighting its potential role in epidermal renewal.

This study reveals that basement membrane composition and structure in mouse hair follicles are specialized for distinct inter-tissue interactions, with laminin α5 being essential for maintaining these interfaces.

This study suggests that sericin microneedles with antibacterial and directional traction functionalities may enhance infected wound healing by improving skin repair and inhibiting bacterial growth, indicating potential for clinical application.

This study introduced a novel method that uses upright structured illumination microscopy and atomic force microscopy to map the mechanical properties of thick living tissue slices, revealing the intricate mechanical heterogeneity of mouse skin and effects of preservation techniques on tissue stiffness.

This study developed a mathematical model indicating that the amino acid sequences of intermediate filament proteins, rather than flexibility differences, significantly impact assembly rates.

This study introduces a modular fiber model to investigate how changes in microstructural properties of wool affect its critical buckling load, highlighting potential uses and areas needing further research in wool fiber biophysics.

This study found that Piezo2 channels are primarily located on sensory axon membranes in mechanosensory end organs, supporting a model where mechanical stimuli activate Aβ RA-LTMR neurons via axon protrusions.

Merkel cells are abundant in facial vellus hair follicles, especially during the anagen phase.

This study discovered a new region in the hair cortex where intermediate filaments are both aligned with the hair's axis and orientationally ordered, influenced by the cuticle boundary.

This study examines the structure of the "sinuskissen" in cat hair follicles, revealing it as a loose connective tissue susceptible to changes in aqueous flow, and describes its variable three-dimensional shapes.

In this study, researchers demonstrated that follicular tight junctions in porcine skin form a barrier to nanoparticle penetration, particularly in upper regions, which supports its use as a model for human skin.

This study investigated various animal tissues from adult mice and embryonic chicks, finding that tissue stiffness follows a sub-linear power law relationship with Collagen-I levels, consistent with cellularized collagen gels but not acellular ones.

Fibronectin and other basement membrane components increase during hair growth and decrease during rest.

This study found that mouse type II spiral ganglion neurites in vitro avoided laminin and high concentrations of fibronectin, indicating both can guide neurite paths differently than type I neurites.

This study found that fibroblasts from mature skin showed significantly reduced mechanical force production compared to young skin fibroblasts, suggesting age-related changes in cellular mechanical properties.

The composite dressing improved wound healing and hair growth in mice.

This study introduced a method to isolate and separate microfibrillar proteins from human hair, identifying previously undetected glycine- and tyrosine-rich proteins.
