research Healthy Hair: Form and Function
Hair health is influenced by genetics, aging, and environmental factors, with proper care needed to maintain it.
research The Skin at Different Ages
Skin changes throughout life, from development before birth to aging effects like wrinkles, influenced by both genetics and environment.
research Clinical Snippets
Ferulic acid helps stabilize vitamins C and E for better skin protection from the sun, certain compounds may promote hair growth, atopic dermatitis patients have lower skin defense molecules, older men are more likely to get a type of skin cancer, and a substance called relaxin may prevent age-related skin thickening.
research The risk of hydroquinone and sunscreen over-absorption via photodamaged skin is not greater in senescent skin as compared to young skin: Nude mouse as an animal model
Aging and sun damage do not increase the skin's absorption of certain sunscreens and drugs.
research PREFACE
The aging population's demand for aesthetic medicine is increasing due to longer life expectancy and societal factors.
research Spatial and Temporal Coordination of Force-generating Actin-based Modules Drives Membrane RemodelingIn Vivo
Actin filaments help stabilize and integrate cell membranes during transfer.
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 Matrix Stiffness-driven FAK Splicing Tunes Cell Mechanosensing
FAKΔe4 helps cells sense and respond to different stiffness levels in their environment.
research A Niche Above: A Novel Modality of Stem Cell Regulation in Mammalian Skin Epidermis
Skin cell behavior is influenced by the tightness of nearby cells, affecting their growth and development.
research Coordination of force-generating actin-based modules stabilizes and remodels membranes in vivo
Actin filaments help stabilize and reshape cell membranes.
research Pulling force deforms hair follicle root sheath nuclei and surrounding dermal collagen matrix differently at infundibulum, isthmus and suprabulbar regions
Hair follicles respond differently to pulling forces in various regions.
research Faculty Opinions recommendation of Dermal sheath contraction powers stem cell niche relocation during hair cycle regression.
The dermal sheath's contraction is crucial for hair follicle regression and stem cell relocation.
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 Mechanical force drives the initial mesenchymal-epithelial interaction during skin organoid development
Mechanical force is important for the first contact between skin cells and hair growth in mini-organs.
research Poster 147 Determination of Individual in Vivo Hip Muscle Forces Using an EMG‐to‐Force Processing Model
The EMG-to-force model accurately predicts hip muscle forces during walking.
research Blood in the Church: The Inquisition against Hernando Alonso
Mechanical forces are crucial for hair regeneration in skin organoids.
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 564 Subpopulations of dermal fibroblasts produce distinct extracellular matrices
Different types of skin cells create unique support structures that can affect skin cell growth and could help in skin repair.
research Endothelin-1 combined with extracellular matrix proteins promotes the adhesion and chemotaxis of amelanotic melanocytes from human hair follicles in vitro
Endothelin-1 helps amelanotic melanocytes stick and move better on certain proteins.
research A general mathematical model for the in vitro assembly dynamics of intermediate filament proteins
The model shows that filament flexibility and amino acid differences affect how fast intermediate filament proteins assemble.
research Pharmacological regulation of tissue fibrosis by targeting the mechanical contraction of myofibroblasts
Blebbistatin can reduce fibrosis by targeting myofibroblast contraction.
research Formation of actin mesh structures and alpha-smooth muscle actin dynamics in fibroblasts contribute to dermal regeneration in mouse fetus
Actin and alpha-smooth muscle actin help skin heal in mouse fetuses.
research Androgens Induce Nongenomic Stimulation of Colonic Contractile Activity through Induction of Calcium Sensitization and Phosphorylation of LC20 and CPI-17
Androgens like testosterone increase colon muscle contractions by affecting calcium pathways.
research 877 Integration of magnetic tweezers and traction force microscopy for exploring the mechanobiology of keratinocyte cell-cell and cell-matrix anchoring junctions
The conclusion is that a new method combining magnetic tweezers and traction force microscopy may help understand skin cell interactions and diseases.
research Curly Hair Follicle is Sculpted by a Contracted Arrector Pili Muscle. A Hypothesis with Treatment Implications
Curly hair may be caused by a muscle contraction, and muscle relaxants might help treat it.
research The microanatomy of the distal arrector pili: possible role for α1β1 and α5β1 integrins in mediating cell‐cell adhesion and anchorage to the extracellular matrix
The arrector pili muscle attaches to the extracellular matrix using α5β1 integrin and connects muscle cells using α1β1 integrin.
research Bidirectional binding property of high glycine–tyrosine keratin-associated protein contributes to the mechanical strength and shape of hair
High glycine–tyrosine keratin-associated proteins help make hair strong and maintain its shape.
research The Role of Interface Geometry and Appendages on the Mesoscale Mechanics of the Skin
Skin's uneven surface and hair follicles affect its stress and strain but don't change its overall strength, and help prevent the skin from peeling apart.
research Keratin network modifications lead to the mechanical stiffening of the hair follicle fiber
Changes in keratin make hair follicles stiffer.
