August 2024 in “Biomimetics” In this study, researchers developed a silk fibroin-based hydrogel with added curcumin and pluronic F127, which displayed antibacterial properties against Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and showed potential for skin tissue regeneration, without cytotoxicity.
This study reviewed existing literature and found that green tea may have potential as a treatment for male androgenetic alopecia, demonstrating hair growth stimulation and fewer adverse reactions compared to minoxidil, despite being used in smaller concentrations.
In this study, ozonized sunflower oil effectively healed skin wounds in a dog and a cat over 30 and 50 days, respectively, with no side effects, showing faster hair regrowth and improved local metabolism.
November 2025 in “Bioactive Materials” In this study, researchers developed a DNA/GelMA-based cryogel platform that uses phototherapy to combat MRSA infection and promote scarless wound healing, showing enhanced bactericidal activity, tissue regeneration, and anti-inflammatory effects in vivo, suggesting a promising approach for treating infected skin wounds.
