Introducing Exogenous Energy From Hydrocolloid Wound Dressing Disrupting Human Hair Follicle Metabolism

Recent in vitro research has demonstrated that hydrocolloid wound dressings (WD) emit non-biological exogenous irradiation, which can affect human hair follicle metabolism. Using a novel Potassium Ferricyanide-based microscopy method, researchers recorded electromagnetic energy emissions and documented inter-tissue energy exchanges. The study found that energy emitted by a small fragment of a hydrocolloid WD could penetrate a 1mm glass slide and delay the evaporation time of a Potassium Ferricyanide solution surrounding a freshly plucked human hair follicle. These findings suggest that exogenous energy from hydrocolloid WDs should be considered in future research protocols.
