research Hairy‐Skin‐Adaptive Viscoelastic Dry Electrodes for Long‐Term Electrophysiological Monitoring
The new electrode improves long-term monitoring on hairy skin by reducing motion issues and is easy to use.
research Structural analysis of the outermost hair surface using TOF-SIMS with gas cluster ion beam sputtering
The hair's outermost surface has multiple layers of lipids and proteins.
research High spatial resolution study of human skin using synchrotron infrared microscopy: application to the penetration of external agents
External agents penetrate skin more easily in areas with fewer lipids, especially through hair follicles.
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 Reviewer #1 (Public Review): CaBP1 and 2 enable sustained CaV1.3 calcium currents and synaptic transmission in inner hair cells
CaBP1 and CaBP2 are important for maintaining hearing by supporting continuous calcium currents and nerve signaling in the ear.
research 176 Characterising Neurotransmitter Signalling in Human Skin and Hair Follicles
Skin and hair cells release serotonin and histamine naturally, which could help improve skin health.
research The concept of the onychodermis (specialized nail mesenchyme): an embryological assessment and a comparative analysis with the hair follicle
The onychodermis helps anchor the nail bed and may aid in nail formation.
research Painful piezogenic pitting of the fingers in older adults: A case series
Older adults may experience painful finger pitting due to nerve changes in aging skin, and treatments can help reduce symptoms.
research Evidence for multiple, developmentally regulated isoforms of Ptprq on hair cells of the inner ear
Ptprq has multiple forms that change during inner ear development.
research Electron microscopy-image analysis: Quantification of ultrastructural changes in hair fiber cross sections as a
research Investigation of human hair fibers using lateral force microscopy
Hair treatments like bleaching increase friction by exposing tiny pores on the hair surface.
research The impact of skin massage frequency on the intrafollicular transport of silica nanoparticles: Validation of the ratchet effect on an ex vivo porcine skin model
Low-frequency skin massage helps nanoparticles penetrate hair follicles better.
research Endocannabinoids limit excessive mast cell maturation and activation in human skin
Endocannabinoids help control mast cell activity in human skin.
research Silk secretion from tarantula feet revisited: alleged spigots are probably chemoreceptors
Tarantula feet likely have chemoreceptors, not silk-producing parts.
research Quasi-Static Torsional Deformation of Single Hair Fibers: Application of a Modeling Approach and Results from Cosmetic Treatments.
The research found that twisting hair fibers can show changes in stiffness and damage, and help tell apart different hair treatments.
research Connexin 30, a new marker of hyperproliferative epidermis
Connexin 30 is usually absent in normal skin but can appear in certain skin conditions.
research Mapping the molecular and structural specialization of the skin basement membrane for inter-tissue interactions
The skin's basement membrane has specialized structures and molecules for different tissue interactions, important for hair growth and attachment.
research 689 Regional differences in scalp innervation: A pilot study of the healthy scalp
The back of the scalp has more nerve fibers than the front, which may explain why some people feel more sensitivity there.
research Expression of melanocortin receptors on cutaneous fibroblastic cells – collagen and beyond
MC-1R in skin cells may influence inflammation and collagen production.
research Monilethrix: an ultrastructural study
Monilethrix hair issues are due to problems in the hair's internodes.
research Fine structure and immunocytochemistry of monotreme hairs, with emphasis on the inner root sheath and trichohyalin‐based cornification during hair evolution
Monotreme hair structure and protein distribution are similar to other mammals, but their inner root sheath cornifies differently, suggesting a unique evolution from reptile skin.
