September 2024 in “MedComm” This study by Bansaccal et al. found that skin with higher levels of type I collagen density and elasticity in the dermis can inhibit basal cell carcinoma development and spread by acting as a natural barrier against cell reprogramming in mice.
This study explored the carbohydrate composition of plasma cell membranes in human embryonic epidermis over various gestational ages and found specific patterns that may inform future diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for dermatoses.
March 2026 in “Chemical Engineering Journal” The hydrogel helps heal diabetic wounds by combining antibacterial, antioxidant, and immune-boosting effects.
August 2026 in “Pharmaceuticals” This review reports that biopolymer-based hydrogels show promise as wound dressings due to their biocompatibility, moisture retention, and ability to mimic the extracellular matrix, though challenges in mass production, safety, and clinical validation remain.
