February 2014 in “PLoS ONE” This study reports that transplantation of an ESCs-collagen-chitin biomimetic membrane leads to successful in situ skin regeneration, including hair follicle cell proliferation and formation of dermatoglyphs, in nude mice with full-thickness skin defects.
December 2025 in “PubMed” This study suggests that low molecular weight fish collagen peptide may promote hair follicle growth and regeneration, improving overall hair quality in mouse models.
September 2025 in “International Journal of Biological Macromolecules” In an animal study with a skin defect model, this research reported that curcumin-loaded hydrogels made from recombinant humanized collagen and an eco-friendly crosslinker enhanced wound repair by promoting angiogenesis, granulation tissue formation, and hair follicle neogenesis, while providing antioxidant benefits.
