30 / 952 results research In Situ Tensile Deformation Characterization of Human Hair with Atomic Force Microscopy
AFM helped show how hair changes under tension and the effects of damage and conditioner.
research Enhancing Diabetic Wound Healing: Advances in Electrospun Scaffolds from Pathogenesis to Therapeutic Applications
Electrospun scaffolds can improve healing in diabetic wounds.
research The Role of Interface Geometry and Appendages on the Mesoscale Mechanics of the Skin
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.
research Effect of Human Hair Fibers on the Performance of Concrete Incorporating High Dosage of Silica Fume
research Targeting Integrin Pathways: Mechanisms and Advances in Therapy
New therapies are being developed that target integrin pathways to treat various diseases.
research General Theory of Skin Reinforcement
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.
research Some Tensile Properties of Specialty Hair Fibers
Animal hair fibers like wool and mohair are strong when dry, but vicuna fibers are very brittle.
research Effect of Ethnicity and Treatments on In Situ Tensile Response and Morphological Changes of Human Hair Characterized by Atomic Force Microscopy
Different ethnicities and treatments affect human hair strength and structure.
research The Susceptibility of Disulfide Bonds to Modification in Keratin Fibers Undergoing Tensile Stress
Disulfide bonds in keratin fibers break more easily under stress, especially when wet, affecting fiber strength.
research An Innovative Experimental Petrographic Study of Concrete Produced by Animal Bones and Human Hair Fibers
Concrete made from animal bones and human hair is stronger and more environmentally friendly than traditional concrete.
research Porosity at Different Structural Levels in Human and Yak Belly Hair and Its Effect on Hair Dyeing
Yak belly hair has higher porosity and is less stiff than human hair, making it absorb dye better but less suitable as a direct substitute for hair dyeing.
research Single Hair Fiber Assessment Techniques to Discriminate Between Mineral Oil and Coconut Oil Effect on Hair Physical Properties
Coconut oil makes hair stronger and more flexible than mineral oil.
research Development of Predictive Regression Model for Perceived Hair Breakage in Indian Consumers
The model predicts hair breakage based on key hair properties and helps product developers.
research Biomechanical Properties of Scalp Flaps and Their Correlations to Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery Procedures
Scalp flaps are stiffer than skin from other body areas, which helps in planning reconstructive and cosmetic head surgeries.
research Graphene Oxide–IPDI–Ag/ZnO@Hydroxypropyl Cellulose Nanocomposite Films for Biological Wound-Dressing Applications
The new nanocomposite films are stronger, protect against UV, speed up wound healing, and are antibacterial without being toxic.
research Drug Delivery Applications of Three-Dimensional Printed Mesoporous Scaffolds
3D-printed mesoporous scaffolds show promise for personalized drug delivery with controlled release.
research Human Hair Follicle-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Promote Tendon Repair in a Rabbit Achilles Tendinopathy Model
Human hair follicle stem cells help repair tendon injuries.
research Impaired Wound Healing in Transgenic Mice Overexpressing the Activin Antagonist Follistatin in the Epidermis
Overexpressing follistatin in mice delays wound healing and reduces scar size.
research Chitosan Hydrogel as Tissue Engineering Scaffolds for Vascular Regeneration Applications
Chitosan hydrogels are promising for repairing blood vessels but need improvements in strength and compatibility.
research Advances in Chitosan-Based Nanoparticles for Drug Delivery
Chitosan, a natural substance, can be used to create tiny particles that effectively deliver various types of drugs, but more work is needed to improve stability and control of drug release.
research Quantifying the Effects of Repeated Dyeing: Morphological, Mechanical, and Chemical Changes in Human Hair Fibers
Repeated hair dyeing significantly damages hair.
research Skin Shedding and Tissue Regeneration in African Spiny Mice (Acomys)
African spiny mice can regenerate skin, hair, and cartilage, but not muscle, and their unique abilities could be useful for regenerative medicine.
research Development of Finasteride/PHBV@Polyvinyl Alcohol/Chitosan Reservoir-Type Microspheres as a Potential Embolic Agent: From In Vitro Evaluation to Animal Study

Skin problems can be caused or worsened by physical forces and pressure on the skin.
research Investigation of Human Hair Fibers Using Lateral Force Microscopy
Hair treatments like bleaching increase friction by exposing tiny pores on the hair surface.
research Skin Aging as a Mechanical Phenomenon: The Main Weak Links
Skin aging is largely due to differences in stiffness and elasticity between skin layers, leading to wrinkles.
