This study found that tensed Silastic-Dacron strips completely prevented stretch-back and sometimes compressed the remaining bald area after alopecia-reducing procedures, whereas retention sutures provided only partial prevention.

In this study, certain cysteine residues in Romney sheep wool fibers were labeled more often during stretching tests, particularly under wet conditions, suggesting variability in their disulfide bond contributions to fiber mechanics depending on hydration.

In this study, wound closure tension following strip surgery for hair restoration varied by strip width, highlighting the importance of minimizing tension to achieve better scarring outcomes.

This study found that women with PCOS exhibited higher levels of depression, tension induction, and impaired stress coping strategies compared to healthy controls, with these psychological issues correlating with hyperandrogenism but not with central obesity or insulin resistance.

This study found that filamin A plays a crucial role in fibroblasts' ability to sense and respond to mechanical stimuli, significantly affecting wound closure and fibroblast-mediated processes in mice.

This review re-examines hair blowouts as a material science process, where water acts as a plasticizer altering keratin's glass-transition temperature, allowing for temporary hair shaping through a moisture-induced matrix state change under heat and tension.

This review discusses the mechanisms of wound healing and excessive scarring, highlighting the importance of understanding these processes for developing new therapies to prevent fibrotic scarring in large skin wounds.

This review discusses how various factors, including cosmetic procedures and scalp conditions, can damage hair, but highlights the availability of products to improve hair health; it reports no new empirical results.

This study found that permanent waving treatment induces structural changes in the cortex proteins of white human hair, significantly reducing its tensile strength without altering the S-S band intensity.

This study observed that surfactants in cosmetic treatments can bind to keratinous tissues like hair and nails, affecting their tensile properties and possibly leading to deterioration depending on the specific detergents used.

Bone-marrow and epidermal stem cells help heal wounds differently, with bone-marrow cells aiding in blood vessel formation and epidermal cells in hair growth.

This study found that the moisture content of human hair significantly influences the type of fracture under tensile loading, with low or high humidity levels leading to smooth fractures and intermediate humidity resulting in step fractures.

This study found that as Korean women age, their hair density, diameter, tensile strength, and lustre decline, while grey hair ratio and certain sterol contents increase, suggesting unique ageing features compared to women in other countries.

In this study, hair bleaching with ammonium persulfate and hydrogen peroxide caused significant damage to hair structure and severe skin reactions in rats, highlighting the need for cautious bleaching procedures.

This study found that the keratin matrix in mammalian hard α-keratins is crucial for maintaining stiffness in water by controlling intermediate filament hydration.

The researchers reported that a novel leave-on treatment containing caffeine, niacinamide, panthenol, dimethicone, and an acrylate polymer significantly increased the diameter and improved the mechanical properties of scalp hair fibers, suggesting it may help mitigate thinning hair.

This study found that a peptide treatment using Protein disulphide isomerase improved the mechanical and thermal properties of over-bleached hair by promoting deeper peptide penetration and attachment.

This study found that PCL-Col/ZnO fibrous scaffolds enhanced wound healing and exhibited antibacterial properties, making them promising for use as a wound dressing.

In this study, CD109 overexpression in transgenic mice led to reduced inflammation and improved collagen organization during wound healing without affecting wound closure.

This article reviews various reconstructive surgery techniques for scalp wounds and emphasizes factors affecting aesthetic outcomes, but it presents no new clinical findings.

This study found that waving virgin human hair with thioglycerol at pH 9.0 using ammonia solution caused less damage than using thioglycolic acid, while maintaining good waving efficiency.

This study introduced a new method for extracting red mordant dyes from wool fibers that preserved the fibers for further analysis and allowed for spectrophotometric examination of the dyes' absorption curves.

This research describes methods to analyze the mechanical properties and fracture characteristics of hair across different types and ages, using specialized tensile testing and imaging techniques, without reporting new results.

In this study, researchers found that replacing natural aggregates with animal bones and human hair with increased microroughness may improve the mechanical strength and durability of concrete.

This article reviews various methods and introduces new imaging technologies to assess the effects of hair shaping treatments on hair chemistry and structural integrity, without reporting clinical results.

This study found that bleached hair showed optimal protein structural integrity and tensile strength at pH 5, with significant changes in cross-linking, water content, and diameter at more alkaline or acidic levels.

This study found that Caucasian hair is destroyed more easily than Asian hair when stretched, as indicated by changes in secondary structure, disulfide bond breakage, and physical disintegration.
