October 2017 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences” In this study, oil body-bound oleosin-rhFGF-10 was more efficiently absorbed through the skin and enhanced wound healing and hair growth in mice, compared to prokaryotically-expressed rhFGF-10.
This study found that transgenic safflower oil bodies expressing oleosin-rhFGF9 promoted significant hair regrowth and wound healing in mice compared to control groups.

September 2015 in “Protein expression and purification” This study demonstrated that safflower seeds can be engineered to express oleosin-FGF10, which showed a dose-dependent effect on cellular proliferation, potentially facilitating scalable protein production.
