August 2020 in “Resources” The document reviewed the potential of macroalgae-derived metabolites in the cosmetic industry, focusing on a circular economy approach. It highlighted the rich bioactive compounds in macroalgae, such as polysaccharides, phenolic compounds, and lipids, which offered various cosmetic benefits, including anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and moisturizing effects. These compounds were seen as sustainable alternatives to synthetic ingredients, aligning with consumer demand for natural products. The review emphasized the ecological and economic advantages of using macroalgae, sourced from industry by-products, to enhance cosmetic formulations' efficacy and sustainability. Despite the promising potential, further research was needed to fully explore macroalgae's applications in cosmetics.

June 1993 in “The Journal of Cell Biology” The study examined the impact of a mutant Adenovirus E1a oncoprotein, NTdl646, on skin cells in transgenic mice, revealing that its expression led to abnormal hair follicle maturation, characterized by short, crooked hair shafts and a dystrophic or absent inner root sheath. Despite these hair follicle abnormalities, the surrounding skin remained normal, and there was no increase in skin tumors. The keratinocytes in these mice showed partial resistance to growth inhibitors, suggesting that the oncoprotein disrupted normal hair follicle development by interfering with growth regulatory proteins, without causing cancerous growth.
