December 2022 in “Bioactive Materials” June 2017 in “Advances in intelligent systems and computing” The new device can implant cell mixtures more effectively for hair loss treatment and is easier for operators to use.
April 2023 in “ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering” October 2022 in “Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology” This study investigates bioengineered polyester nanoparticles (NPs) coated with dermal papilla cell membranes for treating androgenic alopecia (AGA). These NPs encapsulate dutasteride (DUT) and siRNA targeting the androgen receptor (siAR), aiming to suppress 5α-reductase and knockdown androgen receptors. The cell membrane coating enhances biocompatibility and targeted drug delivery to hair follicles. In vitro and in vivo experiments showed that these NPs effectively penetrated skin, released drugs in a controlled manner, and significantly promoted hair growth in a mouse model, suggesting a promising therapeutic approach for AGA.
