October 2009 in “Dermatology” This study reported that ultraviolet light treatment from a Kromayer lamp stimulated hair growth in four out of six patients with alopecia, whereas intralesional triamcinolone acetonide had a mixed effect.
December 2024 in “Macromolecular Bioscience” This study reports that a novel UV-based crosslinking process for collagen sponges significantly decreases crosslinking time compared to traditional methods, and supports effective cell proliferation and wound regeneration in a mouse model, without causing abnormal angiogenic or immune responses.
