November 2023 in “Frontiers in Pharmacology” In this study, researchers developed a self-assembling hydrogel called RADA-PDGF2 and found it to accelerate wound closure in a mouse model due to its pro-proliferative and pro-migratory properties, without causing cytotoxicity or immunogenicity.
This study found that the RADA-GHK and RADA-KGHK peptide hydrogels improved wound healing and cell growth without cytotoxicity, suggesting potential for use in skin regeneration.
This study explored new molecular structures as potential COVID-19 treatments, identifying a compound called Hit15 that inhibited viral infection in lab settings and reduced inflammation markers in human neutrophils, suggesting further development is warranted.
