September 2019 in “Journal of Biomedical Optics” This study determined in-vivo skin damage thresholds for 1319-nm laser exposure in pigs, and the findings may enhance understanding of thermal damage mechanisms and inform laser safety standards.
August 2026 in “Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology” This animal study found that transparent porcine-derived Type I atelocollagen increases skin thickness and regenerates elastic fibers in aged mice, suggesting its potential as a skin booster for rejuvenation.
February 2026 in “PubMed” This study compared porcine-derived placental biomaterials with human-derived counterparts in a rat model of skin injuries and found no significant statistical differences in healing outcomes; however, porcine-derived materials showed reduced early inflammation and faster crust formation, suggesting potential advantages in healing effectiveness.
