This study found that diabetic individuals experienced significant changes in hair characteristics, including reduced thickness, strength, and altered growth cycle phases, correlated with poor glycaemic control and haematological variations compared to healthy controls.
In a mouse model of infected burns, this study found that treatment with recombinant fusion peptide EK significantly decreased Pseudomonas aeruginosa colony count and improved wound healing rates compared to controls.

In this study, human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes significantly accelerated cutaneous wound healing in rats by modulating the TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway.
Peptides like TB500, KPV, GHK-CU, and BPC-157 are overhyped for hair growth with limited proven effectiveness in humans. Combining peptides with delivery methods like iontophoresis and sonophoresis shows promise, but many claims remain unproven.
