January 2018 in “International Journal of Trichology” This study found no significant difference in the tensile properties of hair from different scalp positions, suggesting that microscopic structural heterogeneities may play a role.
July 2023 in “Research Square (Research Square)” 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.
June 2023 in “SPIRE - Sciences Po Institutional REpository” This study suggests that extracellular vesicles from prostate cancer cells could aid in identifying tumor heterogeneity and serve as biomarkers, while also playing a role in SARS-CoV-2 infection in nasopharyngeal mucus.
This chapter provides an overview of the complex chemical and physical structure of the hair surface, detailing how factors like ethnicity, environmental stress, and cosmetic treatments can alter its properties and influence the adhesion of hair care products.
January 2019 in “Durham e-Theses (Durham University)” This study found that JNK plays a dominant role in hair follicle matrix density-dependent proliferation and differentiation, suggesting that collagen bundling affects keratinocyte dynamics.
