research Advances in Medical Polyesters for Vascular Tissue Engineering

17 citations , August 2024 in “Discover Nano”

This review summarizes that polyesters hold promise for vascular tissue engineering due to their mechanical properties and biodegradability, but optimizing their use in repairing damaged blood vessels remains challenging due to the complexity of vascular tissues.

Hydrogel Forming Microneedles Loaded With VEGF and Ritlecitinib/Polyhydroxyalkanoates Nanoparticles for Mini-Invasive Androgenetic Alopecia Treatment

research Hydrogel Forming Microneedles Loaded With VEGF and Ritlecitinib/Polyhydroxyalkanoates Nanoparticles for Mini-Invasive Androgenetic Alopecia Treatment

April 2024 in “Bioactive materials”

This study found that a microneedle system delivering VEGF and Ritlecitinib improved hair regeneration in mice with androgenetic alopecia, showing faster anagen onset and better hair quality compared to minoxidil.

Homogeneous Silver Nanoparticle Loaded Polydopamine/Polyethyleneimine-Coated Bacterial Cellulose Nanofibers for Wound Dressing

research Homogeneous Silver Nanoparticle Loaded Polydopamine/Polyethyleneimine-Coated Bacterial Cellulose Nanofibers for Wound Dressing

5 citations , July 2023 in “International journal of biological macromolecules”

This research observed that a silver nanoparticle-loaded polydopamine/polyethyleneimine-coated bacterial cellulose dressing effectively inhibited S. aureus infections, reduced inflammation, and promoted wound healing compared with untreated cellulose, demonstrating its potential for treating infected wounds.
