research Three-dimensional reconstructions of mechanosensory end organs suggest a unifying mechanism underlying dynamic, light touch
Dynamic, light touch is sensed through a common mechanism involving Piezo2 channels in sensory axons.
research Cellular response of keratinocytes to the entry and accumulation of nanoplastic particles
Nanoplastics can penetrate skin cells, triggering inflammation and immune responses.
research The developmental basis of fingerprint pattern formation and variation
Fingerprints form uniquely before birth due to specific genetic pathways and local signals.
research The toughening transition in hair keratin
The observed "toughening" in keratin was actually due to water evaporation, not a real change in keratin.
research Effect of a keratin coupling agent on the mechanical properties of a bovine hair-thermoplastic starch composite
Adding keratin to a mix of cow hair and plant-based plastic makes it stronger.
research The cellular basis of mechanosensory Merkel-cell innervation during development
BMP signaling is essential for the development of touch domes.
research Involucrin, but not filaggrin and Kdap mRNA, expression is downregulated in 3-D cultures of intact rat hair bulbs after calcium stimulation
Calcium reduces involucrin in rat hair bulbs but doesn't affect filaggrin and Kdap.
research Plasticity of Epithelial Cells during Skin Wound Healing
Epithelial cells adapt and work together to heal skin wounds effectively.
research Skin aging as a mechanical phenomenon: The main weak links
Skin aging is largely due to differences in stiffness and elasticity between skin layers, leading to wrinkles.
research 439 Gradients of Mesenchymal Stiffness Control Sweat Gland Cell Fate Specification During Morphogenesis
Mesenchymal stiffness affects sweat gland cell development.
research Reviewer #2 (Public Review): Spatiotemporal dynamics of sensory neuron and Merkel-cell remodeling are decoupled during epidermal homeostasis
Sensory neurons and Merkel cells remodel at different rates during normal skin maintenance.
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 A Mechanical-assisted Post-bioprinting Strategy for Challenging Bone Defects Repair
The new method improves bone repair by enhancing cell loading and stability in bioprinted scaffolds.
research Reviewer #3 (Public Review): Spatiotemporal dynamics of sensory neuron and Merkel-cell remodeling are decoupled during epidermal homeostasis
Sensory neuron changes and Merkel-cell changes in the skin happen independently during normal skin maintenance.
research Three-row stereocilia model predicts mammalian hair bundle behavior
The model explains how mammal ear hair cells respond to sound and adapt.
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 A Commentary on the Need for Minimum Information for Studies Evaluating Biologics in Plastic Surgery
Plastic surgery journals should require standardized reporting for biologics studies to improve research quality.
research The Rise of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Approach to Hair Restoration: Correction
research Hyperinnervation inhibits organ-level regeneration in mammalian skin
Reducing nerve growth can help skin regenerate after birth.
research 1 The Changing Face of Aesthetic Facial Plastic Surgery among East Asians
More East Asians are accepting and getting facial plastic surgery, with a focus on natural-looking results and using both surgical and nonsurgical methods.
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 Keratin Biomaterials Activate Schwann Cells via Integrin‐Mediated Signaling and Promote Regeneration of Large Peripheral Nerve Defects in a Rabbit Model
Keratin biomaterials from human hair help nerve regeneration by activating Schwann cells.
research Stiffness-Controlled Thermoresponsive Hydrogels for Cell Harvesting with Sustained Mechanical Memory
The hydrogels help harvest cells while preserving their mechanical memory, which could improve wound healing.
research The Process of Cornification Evolved From the Initial Keratinization in the Epidermis and Epidermal Derivatives of Vertebrates: A New Synthesis and the Case of Sauropsids
Cornification evolved from keratinization in vertebrates, with differences between mammals and sauropsids.
research Chemotherapy‐induced alopecia management: Clinical experience and practical advice
The conclusion is to use scalp cooling, gentle hair care, and treatments like minoxidil for managing hair loss from chemotherapy, and stresses the need for more research and collaboration in this area.
research Monitoring chemotherapy‐induced alopecia with trichoscopy
Chemotherapy caused hair loss with specific patterns, but most patients had hair regrowth after treatment, while some had lasting hair loss.
research Hypothyroidism, eyelash loss
Eyelash loss can be a sign of thyroid problems.
research A Novel Hope for Alopecia Totalis Patients: Case Report
Tofacitinib may effectively regrow hair in alopecia totalis patients.
research New-Onset Gastrointestinal Polyposis
A 60-year-old man with Cronkhite-Canada syndrome improved with treatment, but the condition has a high mortality rate and a risk of colorectal cancer.
