This study found that applying both dehydrothermal treatment and carbodiimide crosslinking improved the mechanical properties of porcine acellular dermal matrix scaffolds without added cytotoxicity, suggesting potential applications in tissue engineering.

In this study, researchers developed an acellular bioscaffold made from ovine tendon collagen with an antibacterial coating for treating skin wounds. They found that genipin crosslinking improves the scaffold's properties, and with plasma polymerisation, it enhances antibacterial activity, potentially benefiting wound healing.

This study reports that a novel UV-based crosslinking process for collagen sponges significantly decreases crosslinking time compared to traditional methods, and supports effective cell proliferation and wound regeneration in a mouse model, without causing abnormal angiogenic or immune responses.

In a study using a mouse model of diabetes, chitosan-based hydrogels increased healing markers and improved wound closure and tissue repair compared to untreated wounds, but human efficacy needs further validation.

This study found that crosslinking buffalo gelatin with different methods can modify its properties and potential as a skin substitute, though double-crosslinking may increase immunogenicity slightly.

In this study, cinnamaldehyde loaded onto gypsum-calcium carbonate scaffolds showed promise in promoting early-stage bone healing in rats but was less effective at later stages, with better results when combined with dehydrothermal treatment.

This chapter discusses the composition, biocompatibility, and production methods of biomaterials like collagen, chitin, and silk for dermal substitutes, focusing on preclinical and clinical research, but reports no new clinical results.

This study developed a bilayer material combining poly(vinyl alcohol) and bacterial cellulose with a gelatin-poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogel, showing strong potential as a wound dressing due to its good antibacterial properties, cell viability, and sustained drug release.

A new method strengthens hair without using harmful chemicals.

This study found that using a bicomponent reduction system with TGA and DTDG for hair straightening limited hair damage by forming only thiol groups, while a TGA-only system formed more damaging mixed disulfide groups.

This study developed granular hydrogels with reversible interparticle cross-linking, finding they offer high mechanical stability and enhance cell recruitment, making them promising for injectable and 3D printable scaffolds in tissue engineering and therapeutic delivery.

This study found that washing hair after reduction in a permanent waving process allows for significant reformation of disulfide cross-links, enhancing the strength and elasticity of hair fibers.

In this study, treating hair with thioglycolic acid was found to alter disulfide bond patterns in keratin-associated proteins, shifting them from an ellipsoidal to a near-spherical shape.

This study found that adding dithiodiglycolic acid to the hair straightening process decreased chemical damage and preserved the structural integrity of the hair matrix compared to using thioglycolic acid alone.

This study found that a new eco-friendly hair crosslinking method using visible light and non-toxic chemicals caused less damage and improved mechanical properties compared to traditional thioglycolic acid treatment.

This study observed that repeated perm treatments decrease disulfide bonds in hair due to their conversion largely into cysteic acid, affecting the waving efficiency depending on the reduction agent used.

This study found that novel thiol-reactive cross-linking agents, particularly APA, significantly improved the tensile strength and elasticity of human hair fibers by effectively regenerating disulfide bridges, with potential applications for advanced hair repair treatments in the cosmetic industry.

In this study, a method using riboflavin phosphate, citric acid, and polyols successfully optimized protein cross-linking in hair of all colors through visible light-mediated photo-cross-linking, improving the mechanical properties and hair-setting effects without the influence of hair color.

This study found that laccase-assisted grafting of poly(tyrosine) onto wool materials improved shrinkage resistance and mechanical properties while causing minor decreases in crystallinity and thermal resistance, suggesting a potential "green" approach to enhance wool durability.

Photocrosslinkable biomaterials can improve wound healing by controlling mechanical environments.

In this study, treatment with aqueous KCN selectively converted disulfide bonds to monosulfide crosslinks in hair, leading to changes in microstructural properties and rubberlike elasticity under specific laboratory conditions.

This study found that treating hair with aqueous KCN converts disulfide bonds to monosulfide crosslinks, affecting the elasticity and crosslink distribution in hair microstructures.

This study found that chemically modifying hair with 2-iminothiorane hydrochloride improved the permanence of hair setting without damaging the hair by increasing disulfide bonds.

This study found that a double-crosslinked hydrogel using GelMA and sulfhydrylated chitosan showed promising results in healing full-thickness skin wounds in rats by accelerating tissue repair and promoting collagen and blood vessel formation.

This study evaluated a new collagen and tannic acid hydrogel in rat liver and heart bleeding models, finding it reduced blood loss and hemostatic time compared to commercial products, with benefits such as enhanced biodegradability and potential for clinical use.
