March 2018 in “Journal of Dermatological Science” 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.

May 2021 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences” This review discusses recent advances in scarless wound healing research, focusing on the roles of mechanobiology and immunology, and reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight the potential of next-generation human skin equivalents in understanding these mechanisms.
December 2025 in “Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)” This study elucidates a mechanism for male pattern baldness involving chronic scalp tension leading to follicular hypoxia, rather than purely hormonal factors, and proposes a treatment targeting electrolyte, vascular, and neurological factors to restore balance.
December 2025 in “Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)” This study elucidates a mechanism for male pattern baldness involving tension in scalp muscles that leads to reduced blood flow and hypoxia around hair follicles, proposing a multi-targeted therapeutic approach.
