This study identified a unique concentric double-layered structure in both Japanese and Caucasian SHINAYAKA hair, associated with improved flexibility and elasticity, and developed a succinic acid treatment to enhance these properties.

This study identified a group of dermal fibroblasts near hair follicle stem cells in mice that facilitate hair regeneration by creating a biomechanically compliant extracellular matrix, enhancing stem cell activation and promoting a positive feedback loop for tissue regeneration.

This study reports a good correlation between the curvature of human eyelashes and the displacement of the neutral axis, influenced by the non-uniform thickness of the outer cuticle layer.

This study found that hair treated with shampoo containing water-soluble silicone demonstrated smoother sliding and better detangling, compared to shampoo with water-insoluble silicone, due to differences in conditioning film formation.

Minoxidil improves blood flow and vessel flexibility, potentially helping with vascular stiffness.

This study demonstrated that using a perfusion culture bioreactor and 3D spheroid culture can enhance corneal endothelial cell expansion and support the construction of tissue-engineered corneal endothelial layers in vitro.

In this study, researchers developed a method using stencils to create controlled stiffness gradients in alginate hydrogels, revealing that stiffer regions within the gels promote deeper invasion by breast cancer cells, facilitating the study of mechanosensitive cellular behaviors.

In this study, the reconstructed skin epidermal model derived from hair follicles showed gene expression and enzyme functionality consistent with native human skin, suggesting its viability for studying skin metabolism and potential toxicity of dermo-cosmetic ingredients.

This study found that injecting keratin into the skin of mice promoted hair growth, potentially through keratin's interaction with hair-forming cells and changes in the microenvironment.

This article explains the structure and multifunctional roles of the human skin, including its protective, regulatory, and sensory functions, but does not report new research findings.

This article examines the role and composition of integral hair lipids in forming a protective barrier similar to the skin's epidermal lipid layer and reports no new findings about their effects.

This study introduced the concept of spatiotemporal clocks to understand how different phases of mammalian wound healing are coordinated, with a focus on the spatial domains and oscillatory molecular signals involved, while highlighting the potential for regenerative therapeutic strategies.

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.

Certain hairstyles can cause scalp diseases, smoking is linked to hair loss, 5% minoxidil foam is effective for hair loss treatment, and various factors influence wound healing and hair growth.

This review highlights various methods of stem cell communication that reflect the unique organization and function of different tissues and reports no new results.

This study found that while yak belly hair is chemically similar to human hair, its higher porosity and lower mechanical strength limit its usefulness as a substitute in hair dye development.

This study found that using a plasma hairdryer for 90 minutes caused significantly less hair damage, such as cuticle cracks or layer separation, compared to traditional hot air dryers.

This study concluded that bleach treatment partly transforms the hydrophobic top layer of human hair cuticles into a hydrophilic surface with clustered cysteic acid, visualized at the nano-scale using dynamic Chemical Force Microscopy.

This study showed that chemical and mechanical treatments significantly alter the nanoscale surface properties of hair, affecting its roughness, mechanical stiffness, adhesion, and surface potential.

This review examines non-invasive methods for diagnosing inflammatory skin diseases like lupus erythematosus and psoriatic inflammation using samples from plucked hair and skin tape-strips, but no new clinical results are presented.

Birth control pills and anti-androgen medications help manage hair growth, acne, and hair loss in women with PCOS.

This review found that 3D bioprinting significantly advances skin tissue engineering by enabling the creation of complex, patient-specific skin structures, though technological and regulatory challenges persist, particularly in areas like scalability and physiological mimicry.

This study found that inducing miR-205 reduces actin contractility and stiffness in hair follicle stem cells and progenitors, stimulating hair regeneration in both young and old mice.

The document explains various skin conditions and their treatments.

This study found that in wound-induced hair neogenesis, African spiny mice and laboratory mice exhibit different morphogenetic field formation patterns related to tissue stiffness, suggesting evolutionary developmental biology advantages.

This source discusses how radiotherapy-induced skin fibrosis, a chronic side effect affecting cancer survivors' quality of life, is driven by ongoing inflammation and fibroblast activity, and emphasizes the need for comprehensive dermatologic management and better diagnostic tools.

This mini-review highlights emerging themes on how tissue stiffness, a fundamental material property, influences morphogenetic processes in living organisms, an area gaining increased attention alongside the role of mechanical forces in shaping cell behavior.

This study demonstrated that autologous mesenchymal stem cells from hair follicles, when combined with a novel gelatin-based hydrogel, showed promising osteogenic potential and could offer a non-invasive alternative for bone regeneration.

This review discusses ethosomes as lipid carriers that enhance drug penetration into deep skin layers and underscores the need for advanced research on their pharmaceutical applications, but it reports no clinical outcomes.

This study investigated the effects of wool-derived hydrolysed keratin peptides on relaxed textured hair and found that mid- and high-molecular weight peptides improved mechanical strength and reduced breakage in different humidity conditions.
