In this study, researchers used atomic force microscopy to evaluate mechanical stiffness across different skin layers in six participants, finding the highest stiffness in the epidermis and lower stiffness as layers progress to subcutaneous tissue, enhancing understanding of skin's physical properties and aiding future research.

This study observed that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells cultured in three-dimensionally bioprinted hydrogels with higher stiffness, like 3A8G, tend to differentiate more into hair follicle cells compared to those in less stiff hydrogels, like 1A4G.

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.

Mesenchymal stiffness affects sweat gland cell development.

This study found that manipulating both gene expression and matrix stiffness in mice can alter hair regeneration after skin wounding, highlighting key factors in regenerative biology.
