Research
120-150 / 1000+ results research Ex vivo SIM-AFM measurements reveal the spatial correlation of stiffness and molecular distributions in 3D living tissue
Collagen makes skin stiff, and preservation methods greatly increase tissue stiffness.
research An Assessment of Quality-of-Life Following Tissue Expansion in Pediatric Patients
Tissue expansion surgery generally improves quality of life in children, especially for scars and alopecia.
research Epidermal and hair follicle trans glutaminases and crosslinking in skin
research Epidermal and hair follicle transglutaminases and crosslinking in skin
research In-Situ Tensile Testing of Hair Fibers in An Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope (ESEM)
Hair fibers break by cuticle cell slipping, shape changing, cuticle fraying, and surface cracking when stretched under specific conditions.
research Multiscale modelling of human hair
Human hair becomes weaker and stretches more easily at higher temperatures.
research Highly flexible and controllable hierarchical MOF membrane for efficient drug release
research Mapping the accessibility of the disulfide crosslink network in the wool fiber cortex
Cysteines in wool fibers are accessible and form important disulfide bonds.
research Self-consistent field theory for the interactions between keratin intermediate filaments
Keratin filaments' elasticity is influenced by their terminal domains and surrounding medium.
research Dynamic Plasticity of Axons within a Cutaneous Milieu
Hair clipping can trigger axon growth and changes in the skin.
research The Viscoelastic Properties of Chemically Modified alpha-Keratins in Human Hair
Chemical modifications can alter hair's stability and flexibility, with hydrophobic interactions helping maintain structure in humid conditions.
research Technical Aspects of Prolonged Scalp Expansion
Scalp expansion is an effective way to reconstruct the scalp with good cosmetic outcomes.
research Exogen involves gradual release of the hair club fibre in the vibrissa follicle model
Hair sheds gradually from the follicle, with readiness to shed indicated by less attachment material.
research Modulating mechanosensory afferent excitability by an atypical mG luR
A compound named ZCZ90 can increase muscle spindle firing, potentially helping treat muscle spasms and hypertension.
research Assessment of styling performance in hair gels and hair sprays by means of a new two-point stiffness test.
The new stiffness test works well for gels but not for sprays.
research Disulfide Cross-Linked Network Structure of Intermediate Filament and Matrix in Hair and Wool Cortices
Hair and wool strength is affected by the number and type of bonds in their protein structures, with hair having more protein aggregates than wool.
research Phenotypic heterogeneity in human genetic diseases: ultrasensitivity-mediated threshold effects as a unifying molecular mechanism
Different people show different symptoms for genetic diseases because of how sensitive their bodies are to small changes in important factors.
research Synaptic‐like vesicles and candidate transduction channels in mechanosensory terminals
SLVs help maintain muscle stretch sensitivity and could aid in treating hypertension and muscle spasticity.
research Pan-tissue scaling of stiffness versus fibrillar collagen reflects contractility-driven strain that inhibits fibril degradation
Tissue stiffness is influenced by contractility, which suppresses collagen breakdown.
research The stiffness of the extracellular matrix is a key factor in tumor progression
Extracellular matrix stiffness affects how aggressively cancer cells invade.
research Morphological analyses in fragility of pili torti with Björnstad syndrome
Pili torti hair is fragile due to loose keratin filaments and weak disulfide bonds.
research Calcium and Vitamin D Supplementation with and Without Collagen on Bone Density and Skin Elasticity in Menopausal Women—A Randomized Controlled Study
Collagen with calcium and vitamin D improves bone health, skin elasticity, and reduces hair loss in menopausal women.
research Expanding the Clinical and Mutational Spectrum of Recessive AEBP1-Related Classical-Like Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
The study concludes that mutations in the AEBP1 gene can cause a form of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and should be considered in diagnosis.
research Influence of massage and occlusion on the ex vivo skin penetration of rigid liposomes and invasomes
Massage increases how deep both rigid and flexible liposomes can go into skin, with flexible ones going deeper, and covering the skin (occlusion) helps rigid ones more.
research The atypical ‘hippocampal’ glutamate receptor coupled to phospholipase D that controls stretch‐sensitivity in primary mechanosensory nerve endings is homomeric purely metabotropic GluK2
A special receptor in sensory nerve endings helps control how they respond to stretching.
