September 2024 in “Chemical Engineering Journal” A new microneedle patch effectively and safely treats alopecia areata.
January 2024 in “Journal of chemical health risks” In this study, a multifunctional aloin-arginine-alginate bio-patch was developed, which transforms into a hydrogel to accelerate wound healing and offers antibacterial and anti-inflammatory benefits, making it promising for use in cutaneous regeneration.
June 2025 in “OPAL (Open@LaTrobe) (La Trobe University)” This study found that a novel bioengineered microneedle patch successfully delivered minoxidil to induce hair growth in a mouse model, suggesting a promising approach to improve treatment for androgenetic alopecia.
June 2025 in “ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering” In this study, researchers developed a new microneedle patch delivery system for minoxidil, which enhanced its controlled release and improved hair growth in mice, potentially offering better treatment outcomes for androgenetic alopecia.
