February 2021 in “Pharmaceutics” The study evaluated the wound healing effects of Palmitoyl-GDPH in Sprague Dawley rats over 18 days, showing superior results compared to tetracycline and saline controls. Palmitoyl-GDPH promoted faster wound closure, achieving 94.52% closure by day 15, and enhanced tissue regeneration, including hair follicle growth, indicating the formation of functionally viable tissues. Histological analysis showed increased re-epithelialization, collagen deposition, and reduced scar formation. The treatment was non-toxic, with no significant changes in liver, kidney, and pancreas biomarkers. These findings suggested that Palmitoyl-GDPH could be a promising therapeutic agent for wound healing.

May 2020 in “Forensic Science International Genetics” The study investigated age-related changes in hair shaft protein profiling and genetically variant peptides (GVPs) to understand their implications for forensic science. It analyzed hair samples from 9 individuals across different age groups and ethnicities, revealing no significant age-related differences in protein profiles within ethnic groups but noted differences between European American and African American hair. Longitudinal analysis showed modest proteomic changes over short periods but significant differences over longer intervals, with storage affecting protein degradation. Despite these changes, GVP profiles remained consistent, indicating their reliability for personal identification. The study concluded that GVPs are robust for forensic applications, providing high random match probabilities, and emphasized the need for further validation across larger populations.
