Characterization of an Injectable Poly(vinyl alcohol)‐gelatin Hydrogel for Growth Factor Delivery in an Orthopedic Application

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This work introduces photo‐crosslinkable tyraminated poly(vinyl alcohol)‐gelatin (PVA‐GT) hydrogels as tunable injectable platforms for tissue engineering and growth factor delivery applications. This schematic illustrates the two developed hydrogel formulations and the experimental workflow used to evaluate their physico‐chemical properties in vitro ...

Effect of a peptide in cosmetic formulations for hairhumidity-control [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Humidity affects hair by changing the surface texture of the fiber. In higher humidity conditions, it is verified an increase of water uptake, which causes the swelling of the hair fibers.

Soft Neural Interfaces for Circuit‐Level Analysis of Magnetogenetic Deep Brain Stimulation in Parkinson's Disease Models

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Magnetogenetic deep brain stimulation (MG‐DBS) represents a wireless neuromodulation that has demonstrated long‐lasting behavioral benefits in Parkinson's disease models. However, the circuit‐level mechanisms underlying these therapeutic effects have remained uncharacterized due to limitations of conventional neural interfaces.

Lichen simplex chronicus on the scalp: Broom fibers on dermoscopy; gear wheel sign and hamburger sign on histopathology

open access: yesIndian Dermatology Online Journal, 2020
Lichen simplex chronicus (LSC) is characterized by lichenification of the skin because of primary excessive scratching. Herein, we present two cases of scalp LSC with a patch showing localized hair loss and paroxysmal severely itching on that area ...

An ex vivo comparison of the tensile strengthening properties of protein derivatives on damaged hair [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Conventional conditioning agents, cationic surfactants and polymers, are often limited in their ability to repair and strengthen the hair fibre, while protein-derived actives have been found to enhance the tensile strength of damaged hair.

Noise-induced and age-related hearing loss:  new perspectives and potential therapies [version 1; referees: 4 approved]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2017
The classic view of sensorineural hearing loss has been that the primary damage targets are hair cells and that auditory nerve loss is typically secondary to hair cell degeneration. Recent work has challenged that view.

Effect of yarn hairiness on energy consumption in rotating a ring-spun yarn package

open access: yes, 2003
The effect of yarn hairiness on energy consumption when rotating a ring-spun yarn package is investigated theoretically and experimentally. A theoretical model is developed to calculate the energy required to rotate hair fibers, based on hair length and ...
