June 2025 in “Journal of the Pakistan Medical Association” In this study, researchers explored the use of a 2-deoxy-D-ribose sodium alginate hydrogel on mice with androgenic alopecia and found it resulted in similar hair regrowth to minoxidil, highlighting increased hair follicle density and angiogenesis.
June 2024 in “Frontiers in pharmacology” This study found that a 2-deoxy-D-ribose gel stimulated hair follicle growth in mice with androgenic alopecia, showing effects similar to minoxidil without additional benefits from combining the two treatments.
March 2025 in “Frontiers in Pharmacology” This study developed a hydrogel dressing incorporating angelica polysaccharides, demonstrating enhanced wound healing properties in a mouse model by promoting rapid hemostasis, tissue healing, and new blood vessel formation compared to Tegaderm™ film.
This study found that an injectable hydrogel, SF-g-SDA, outperformed commercial Tegaderm™ in healing wounds, promoting collagen deposition, and enhancing neovascularization in animal models.
