In this study, researchers found that mangosteen pericarp extract, combined with FeSO₄ as a mordant, effectively produced a stable reddish hair dye on bleached hair, with good color persistence and enhanced tensile strength, indicating its potential as an eco-friendly and safer alternative to synthetic dyes.

This study evaluated a hair mask containing rice germ oil GX-N and ferulic acid on damaged hair and found that rice germ oil GX-N improved hair characteristics after bleaching, UV, and heat exposure, but adding ferulic acid did not provide extra benefits.

In this study, a bleaching protocol was developed to evaluate hair repair products, revealing that K18® and Olaplex® improve hair brightness and lightness, with distinct impacts on hair fiber properties.

Hair can't be as strong as Rapunzel's because it's impractical to scale up due to defects.

This study found that for straight hair, friction mainly influences fragment formation during combing, suggesting no direct connection to tensile fatigue failure, while with textured hair, combing performance may be more complex.

This review highlights the potential of ellagic acid for treating various skin conditions due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and depigmenting properties, but notes that novel formulations are needed to overcome its poor solubility and skin permeability to enhance clinical efficacy.

This study characterized the stress-strain properties of the human scalp and found that its stiffness increases significantly with load, providing valuable insights for planning scalp surgery procedures.

This review discusses the various determinants of hair quality in healthy individuals and reports no new clinical results; the authors emphasize the need for independent trials with standardized outcomes.

In this study, reducing agents like ammonium thioglycolate, L-cysteine, and sodium sulfite in shampoo effectively decreased hair flyaway and frizz without causing damage, as no critical hair damage was observed in structural and tensile strength assessments.

This review highlights that while moderate physical activity benefits skin health by improving circulation and reducing stress, intense exercise or inadequate protective measures can harm the skin, emphasizing the need for sun protection and personalized care.

This study of African-American women found that those perceiving greater hair breakage showed lower break stress and higher premature failure rates, linked to grooming practices and hair curvature.

This study developed finite element models to examine skin's biomechanical properties, finding that structural heterogeneities like Rete ridges and hair follicles create distinct stress and strain patterns that may influence mechanosensation and skin integrity.

This review highlights that in children, hair loss can be attributed to diverse conditions like alopecia areata and tinea capitis, and stresses the importance of a holistic approach to diagnosis and management, including psychosocial support due to limited effective treatments.

In this study, hair samples from Mexican women were found to be intermediate in diameter and shape between Asian and Caucasian hair, exhibiting high intra- and inter-individual variability and unexpected levels of tensile damage.

In this review paper, the authors explored the composition and role of lipids in human hair, highlighting their importance for hair texture, moisture retention, and tensile strength, while noting that the understanding of hair lipids' functions remains controversial and requires further research.

This study found that applying controlled hypobaric stress to the skin significantly improved the in vitro and in vivo penetration of macromolecules, facilitating enhanced drug delivery.

This review explores recent advancements in understanding how various physiological and psychological factors, such as stress and aging, influence epidermal stem cell populations, highlighting their importance in immune-related skin disorders and potential for clinical applications.

In this study, researchers developed an environmentally friendly hair coating from casein proteins and tannic acid, enhancing the tensile strength of virgin Asian hair by approximately 21% compared to untreated hair, while maintaining elasticity.

In this review, the authors describe how glucose metabolism supports various stages of wound healing by providing energy and necessary substances, noting that abnormal glucose metabolism in chronic wounds increases oxidative stress and inflammation, significantly hindering healing.

This review discusses the potential of marine-derived polysaccharide nanofibers as advanced wound dressings, highlighting their regenerative advantages in addressing inflammation, oxidative stress, and other healing barriers. However, it notes that clinical translation is limited by challenges in standardization, evidence, safety, and production scalability.

In this review, researchers examined how needle gauge and length impact the viability of human stem cells during injections, emphasizing the balance between minimizing tissue trauma and preserving cell viability to optimize clinical protocols.

This review suggests that natural compounds, particularly hydrolates, may improve burn wound healing and counter antibiotic resistance through their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties, offering promising complementary interventions.

In this study, tubular 3D bioprinted structures made from sodium alginate and gelatin, containing NIH/3T3 fibroblast cells, demonstrated the ability for cell growth and network formation over 6 weeks, although structural tensile strength decreased with cell growth and polymer degradation.

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.
