360-390 / 1000+ results 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 WISP-1 induced by mechanical stress contributes to the fibrosis and hypertrophy of ligamentum flavum via the Hedgehog-Gli1 signaling
Mechanical stress causes ligament thickening through WISP-1 and Hedgehog signaling.
research LB1027 Identifying the mechanism of tension-associated tissue fibrosis based on single cell RNA sequencing on keloid scar
Mechanical tension worsens keloid scars by activating inflammation and fibrosis pathways.

research The susceptibility of disulfide bonds to modification in keratin fibers undergoing tensile stress
Disulfide bonds in keratin fibers break more easily under stress, especially when wet, affecting fiber strength.
research Arrangement of elastic fibres in the integument of domesticated mammals.
Elastic fiber arrangement in mammal skin varies by hair density and body region.
research A sandwich-like silk fibroin/polysaccharide composite dressing with continual biofluid draining for wound exudate management
The new dressing speeds up wound healing better than current options.
research Water distribution in human hair microstructure elucidated by spin contrast variation small-angle neutron scattering
The technique showed that human hair has two main parts, with 68% being rigid and the rest flexible, and water swelling affects its structure.
research Biomechanics of hair fibre growth: A multi-scale modeling approach
The model shows that factors like follicle shape and stiffness are key for hair growth and anchoring.
research Bio-macromolecules/modified-halloysite composite hydrogel used as multi-functional wound dressing
The new hydrogel is good for wound dressing because it absorbs water quickly, has high porosity, can release drugs, fights bacteria, and helps wounds heal with less scarring.
research Effect of Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) Nanofiber Matrices Cocultured With Hair Follicular Epithelial and Dermal Cells for Biological Wound Dressing
PHBV nanofiber matrices help wounds heal faster when used with hair follicle cells.
research Multifunctional Bioactivity of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Extracellular Vesicles in Hair Follicle–Related Cellular Models
Beer yeast vesicles may improve hair follicle health.
research Azimuthal Scattering from Elliptical Hair Fibers
Light scatters differently from elliptical hair fibers than from circular ones, and a new model better predicts this behavior, especially for shiny highlights.
research Characterization of the mechanical properties of the cortex region of human hair fibers by multiparametric Atomic Force Microscopy mapping
Atomic Force Microscopy is a more accurate way to assess hair damage and the effect of cosmetic treatments.
