INTRODUCTION The term ‘hair loss’ describes a state of imbalance between the anagen and telogen phases in the process of hair follicle cycling. A majority of the world's population is affected by the condition. The development of hair loss is associated with environmental and intrinsic factors; these include sebum composition, infections, scalp microbiome, hormone levels, immune regulation, cytokines, growth factors, stress and genetics as well as synergistic interactions among these factors [1].

A Novel Manual Rotating Fluid Control Mechanism in a Microfluidic Device with a Finger-Actuated Pump for dual-mode sweat sampling Wearable sweat analysis using microfluidics offers a non-invasive approach for real-time health monitoring, with applications in chronic disease management, athletic performance optimization, and early-stage condition detection.

Potential applications Guided by the proposed design methodology, we developed various robots with diverse dimensions, materials, actuation methods, etc. Their performances validate the pronounced controllability and universal applicability of the proposed ultra-tunable bistable structure in diverse robotic applications. To validate the controllability of the proposed structures in achieving ultra-sensitivity and fast response, we developed a robotic flytrap (Figure 5A ).
