October 2020 in “Journal of radiation research” The researchers found that exosome-like vesicles from irradiated cheek skin in neonatal mice may offer protective effects against hair follicle loss after high-dose radiation exposure.
February 2026 in “Macromolecular Bioscience” In this study, keratin‐based hydrogels incorporating calcium ions were developed to effectively deliver atorvastatin, showing potential for localized anti‐fibrotic therapy through controlled drug release and maintaining drug bioactivity in vitro, supported by thorough physicochemical and mechanical characterization.
