One of the most important functions of skin is to act as a protective barrier. To fulfill this role,
the structural integrity of the skin depends on the dermal-epidermal junction—a complex …

Various wounds caused by burns, trauma, surgery, and genetic irregularities, including
acute and chronic wounds, pose a huge burden on global healthcare. Many therapeutic …

Palmoplantar skin is structurally and functionally unique, but the transcriptional programs
driving this specialization are unclear. Here, we use bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing of …

Plantar stress perception is highly desired in sports science and medical research, with the
constraint of external power supply to impede the portability and flexibility in daily life …

Skin wounds are a common condition causing economic burden and they represent an
urgent clinical need, especially chronic wounds. Numerous studies have been conducted on …

Background: Skin is the interface between an organism and the external environment, and
hence the stratum corneum (SC) is the first to withstand mechanical insults that, in certain …

The mechanical properties of the skin determine tissue function and regulate dermal cell
behavior. Yet measuring these properties remains challenging, as evidenced by the large …

Quercetin and kaempferol are flavonoids widely present in fruits, vegetables, and medicinal
plants. They have attracted much attention due to their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory …

The complex physics behind electroadhesion-based tactile displays poses an enormous
modeling challenge since not only the fingerpad structure with multiple non-linear layers, but …

In type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), elevated glucose level impairs the biochemistry of the
skin which may result in alteration of its mechanical and structural properties. The several …
