research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
research Scalable biofabrication and morphology evaluation of tissue spheroids
research 1469 Tissue mechanics partake in spatiotemporal patterning of wound-induced hair neogenesis in African spiny mouse
African spiny mice can regenerate skin and hair after wounds due to specific tissue mechanics.
research Plasticity of GABAergic Inhibition
Targeting specific GABA receptors may help treat epilepsy and postpartum depression.
research 1435 Dynamic morphogen-p63 chromatin interactions that guide epigenetic changes and p63 activity in surface ectoderm commitment
The study found that p63 needs signals from morphogens to help skin cells differentiate properly.
research Taxonomy for the assessment of the subjective experience of curly hair manageability
Hair curvature is the main factor affecting curly hair manageability and product preferences.
research Effects of the bovine slick mutation on heat stress responses and hair growth in mice
The mutation helps mice handle heat better without affecting hair growth.
research Hydrogel Lego based on rehydrated laminate assembly for standardized production and customized integration of multifunctional hydrogel sensors
New hydrogel sensors can be quickly made and customized for wearable devices.
research Cyclical dermal micro-niche switching governs the morphological infradian rhythm of mouse zigzag hair
Mouse zigzag hair bends form due to a 3-day cycle of changes in hair progenitors and their environment.
research Bioelectric state transitions enable de novo feather bud formation in developing skin
Changing calcium signals can create new feather buds in chicken embryos.
research Complex genetic dependencies among growth and neurological phenotypes in healthy children: Towards deciphering developmental mechanisms
Genetic factors influence growth and brain development in children.
research Adult Stem Cells as an Alternative Source of Multipotential (Pluripotential) Cells in Regenerative Medicine
Adult stem cells can become many different cell types, offering wide possibilities for repairing damaged tissues.
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 toughening transition in hair keratin
The observed "toughening" in keratin was actually due to water evaporation, not a real change in keratin.
research 3P343 Change of cell membrane complex of a hair fiber caused by hair damage
Chemical treatments damage hair more than UV exposure, making it thinner and less flexible.
research The role of the microenvironment on the fate of adult stem cells
The microenvironment controls adult stem cells' behavior and fate.
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.
research Physical Properties of Human Hair. 1. Evaluation of Bending Stress by Measuring the Major and the Minor Axis of Human Hair.
The cuticle significantly contributes to hair stiffness, making up about 60% of the total bending stress.
research Tactile and hair-hair friction behavior of hair fibers
Hair feels different when touched and rubs together in various ways.
research Dual‐flow‐RootChip reveals local adaptations of roots towards environmental asymmetry at the physiological and genetic levels
Roots adapt to uneven environments by changing growth and gene expression.
research Organizational principles of integumentary organs: Maximizing variations for effective adaptation
Integumentary organs adapt and evolve for survival, with potential uses in regenerative medicine.
research Machine learning‐guided multi‐omics suggests iron‐dependent hormonal signaling drives root morphological plasticity in wheat under temperature stress
Iron-dependent hormones help wheat roots adapt to temperature stress.
research Chapter 4 Cytomechanics of Hair
Hair's strength and flexibility come from its protein structure and molecular interactions.
research Rational design of keratin-based injectable hydrogels for biomedical applications
Keratin-based hydrogels can be improved for medical use by adding PEG, making them more soluble and adjustable.
research Dynamically Cross-Linked Granular Hydrogels for 3D Printing and Therapeutic Delivery
The hydrogels are strong, self-healing, and good for 3D printing and delivering treatments.
research A novel PLEC nonsense homozygous mutation (c.7159G > T; p.Glu2387*) causes epidermolysis bullosa simplex with muscular dystrophy and diffuse alopecia: a case report
A new mutation in the PLEC gene causes a rare condition with skin blistering, muscle weakness, and hair loss.
research Mechanical Instability of Adherens Junctions Overrides Intrinsic Quiescence of Hair Follicle Stem Cells
Weak cell junctions disrupt hair follicle stem cell rest.
research Wool fiber curvature is correlated with abundance of K38 and specific keratin‐associated proteins
Wool fiber curliness is linked to the presence of certain proteins and K38.
research Knock-Down of Arabidopsis PLC5 Reduces Primary Root Growth and Secondary Root Formation While Overexpression Improves Drought Tolerance and Causes Stunted Root Hair Growth
Changing the amount of PLC5 in Arabidopsis affects root growth and drought resistance, with less PLC5 slowing root growth and more PLC5 improving drought tolerance but hindering root hair growth.
