An Innervated Human Skin Equivalent that Electrically Encodes Mechanical and Thermal Stimuli
Advanced Science, EarlyView.An innervated human skin equivalent is integrated with high‐density microelectrode arrays to reveal how engineered free nerve ending–like structures translate touch and temperature into electrical codes. Mechanical indentation and thermal stimulation engage the engineered somatosensory circuitry and evoke distinct firing and waveform signatures ...

Keratinases: emerging trends in production and applications as novel multifunctional biocatalysts
Kuwait Journal of Science, 2016 Keratinases are proteolytic enzymes capable of degrading rigid and insoluble keratinous proteins present in skinand appendages. They are produced in the keratinous substrates such as feather, hair, wool, nail, horn and hoof bymicroorganisms.

Keratins Mediate Localization of Hemidesmosomes and Repress Cell Motility [PDF]
, 2013 The keratin (K)–hemidesmosome (HD) interaction is crucial for cell-matrix adhesion and migration in several epithelia, including the epidermis. Mutations in constituent proteins cause severe blistering skin disorders by disrupting the adhesion complex ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is a common form of hair loss with limited treatment options. Silencing of WNT5A signaling, which is widely known as the trigger of the ncWNT signaling pathway, happens in hair follicle stem cells from balding areas. It leads to downregulation of ATF3 and its target FOSB.

A Multiscale Mechanistic Framework for Polydopamine Dyeing in Ultrablack Wool Textiles
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Ultrablack photonic textiles are enabled through polydopamine (PDA) dyeing, which is governed by the interplay of PDA chemistry, wool surface topology and chemistry, and hierarchical fiber–yarn–fabric architecture. Fabric architecture emerges as a primary and previously underappreciated design lever for wide‐angle optical performance.

Evolutionary origin of Hoxc13-dependent skin appendages in amphibians
Nature CommunicationsCornified skin appendages, such as hair and nails, are major evolutionary innovations of terrestrial vertebrates. Human hair and nails consist largely of special intermediate filament proteins, known as hair keratins, which are expressed under the ...
