Nanotechnology can help manage PCOS by reducing inflammation and improving hormone balance.
April 2026 in “Journal of Pharmaceutical Investigation” This review discusses the potential of nanotechnology in treating hypertrophic scarring and atopic dermatitis (AD) by reprogramming the pathological skin microenvironment. Both conditions involve excessive fibrosis, chronic inflammation, immune dysregulation, and oxidative stress. Nanotherapeutic strategies, such as TGF-β siRNA delivery, ROS scavenging nanozymes, and lipid-replenishing nanoparticles, are highlighted for their ability to enhance skin penetration and retention, offering anti-fibrotic, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and barrier-restorative effects. The review suggests that future cutaneous nanotherapy will integrate regenerative and immunological strategies, moving towards personalized nanomedicine and bioinspired materials. However, ensuring long-term safety and targeting efficiency is crucial for clinical adoption.
A new microneedle patch helps repair spinal cord injuries by reducing scarring and promoting nerve growth.
January 2026 in “Frontiers in Immunology” Icariin can regulate macrophages and may help treat inflammation, cancer, bone disorders, and fibrotic diseases.
