May 2022 in “Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces” This study found that oral administration of naturally safe active polypeptides from marine shellfish promoted scarless dermal wound healing in mice, potentially via effects on inflammation, fibroblast activity, and the "skin-gut" axis.
May 2023 in “Antioxidants” In this study, researchers found that supramolecular peptide self-assembling materials derived from Pacific oysters exhibit promising effects for skin wound healing in vitro and in vivo, demonstrating procoagulant, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and regenerative properties that suggest potential as a natural treatment option.

November 2019 in “Scientific reports” This study found that inhibiting 5α-reductase in molluscs provokes a specific shell morphology, suggesting gastropods might have unique 5α-reductase substrates absent in vertebrates.
December 2022 in “KSBB Journal” This study suggests that autophagy is essential for regulating TLR3-mediated regenerative processes in human keratinocytes.
