This study found that maintaining tension-force balance in a human skin equivalent improved characteristics of skin homeostasis and structure, suggesting potential as an alternative to animal models for studying skin physiology.

This review discusses the potential risks and effects of chemical relaxers on hair and scalp health, reporting no new clinical results; the authors emphasize dermatologist guidance to mitigate these issues.

This narrative review from the authors discusses mechanical scalp stimulation as a potential treatment for androgenetic alopecia, suggesting it has a biologically plausible mechanism but immature clinical evidence; marketing of these devices currently outpaces their supporting data, indicating a need for better-controlled trials.

This study found that 3D microtissue models of dermal papilla cells can enhance the ability to induce hair-follicle neogenesis in vivo, offering potential for controlled cell production in follicle regeneration.

This study investigated the role of the glycoprotein Thy-1 in hypertrophic scar formation using a murine model, finding that Thy-1 knockdown reduced scar size and encouraged functional regeneration by influencing the p38MAPK signaling pathway under high-tension conditions.

This narrative review suggests that while mechanical scalp stimulation has a plausible mechanism for aiding androgenetic alopecia, its clinical evidence is insufficient, and the marketing of stimulation devices currently outpaces their efficacy data.

Mechanical tension worsens keloid scars by activating inflammation and fibrosis pathways.

This case series reports successful treatment of refractory folliculitis decalvans using surgical excision with second-intention healing and guarded high-tension suturing, resulting in long-term remission without recurrence over a 10–24 month follow-up period.

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 used a multi-point tension test method to evaluate hair damage over time and found it useful for assessing the effects of cosmetics and metal content on hair strength.

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

This study observed that using a relaxed suture technique on scalp incisions may prevent linear scars by reducing pressure on upper stem cells.

Traction alopecia is hair loss from pulling on hair too much.

This article reviews therapeutic methods for managing non-cicatricial alopecia associated with various conditions and provides no new clinical results.

This study found that large excisional wounds in mice can regenerate new hair follicles and fat, whereas similar wounds in rats across seven strains failed to do so, highlighting interspecies differences in regenerative capacity.

The authors reported that certain cosmetic procedures can lead to secondary alopecia, and suggested dermatologists play a crucial role in managing these complications and raising awareness about potential adverse effects.

This study found that using deep plane fixation during scalp surgeries significantly reduced closure tension and allowed for increased tissue excision compared to standard techniques without fixation.

This collection of articles in AOGS includes findings on tetranectin as a possible prognostic marker for advanced ovarian cancer, and the effectiveness of tension-free vaginal tape for recurrent stress urinary incontinence.

This study found that deep plane fixation in scalp surgeries allowed for tension-reduced wound closures and increased tissue excision compared to techniques without deep plane fixation.

Best hair transplant results happen when tissues are least damaged.

This review discusses developments in oral contraceptives, highlighting improved individualization, reduced side effects, and enhanced suitability for various women's health needs, but it reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the role of mechanical forces in skin homeostasis and disease development, including their impact on conditions like keloids, androgenetic alopecia, and acral melanoma, and reports no clinical results; the authors propose modifying these forces as a potential therapeutic strategy.

This article proposes two new categories of cicatricial alopecia—“unstable” and “stable”—and suggests surgical excision as preferred over hair transplantation, especially for unstable cases.

This narrative review discusses the advantages of bidirectional barbed sutures in wound closure, such as faster placement and no need for knots, but reports no new clinical results.

This review evaluates dihydrotestosterone's role in androgenic alopecia and proposes a model suggesting that chronic scalp tension and inflammation contribute to hair follicle miniaturization, identifying fibrosis, calcification, and tension as treatment targets.
