January 2016 in “Biointerphases” This study suggests that the outermost hair cuticle surface is rich in 18-methyleicosanic acid (18-MEA), supporting previous findings of its multilayer lipid and protein structure.
December 2022 in “Acta Biomaterialia” Corrections were made to a previous work on 3D printing a gel-alginate mix for creating hair follicles, but the main finding - that this method can help grow hair - remains the same.
August 2023 in “Micromachines” In this study, researchers developed a multilayered gel bead culture model using a microgel-spotting device, successfully mimicking the early development of skin appendages and supporting in vitro hair follicle regeneration with structures resembling native hair follicles.

November 2024 in “Materials” In this study, researchers created nanowhiskers from crab shell-derived nanochitin that self-assembled into vibrant structural colors within a film. The material, sensitive to environmental changes, shows potential as a food freshness indicator and a sustainable dye for cosmetics due to chitin's biocompatibility.
