Adding keratin to a mix of cow hair and plant-based plastic makes it stronger.

This study developed a hydrogel from glycol chitosan and silica nanoparticles, which showed promise in wound healing by supporting microvessel and hair follicle growth in skin defects.

This study reported that treating wounds with a hydrogel from acellular porcine adipose tissue and adipose-derived stem cells may significantly enhance wound healing and regeneration by promoting new adipocyte formation.

Polisorbate 20 is not suitable for curl creams due to instability.

This review article highlighted the diverse applications of functionalized materials from bacterial cellulose, detailing advances in both in situ and ex situ methods for enhancing these materials' properties, particularly for medical applications, and proposed directions for future research.

This review highlights the challenges in identifying histological features of adverse reactions to soft tissue fillers and emphasizes the need for increased awareness due to product uncertainty and delayed reactions.

This research describes the synthesis of 16β-chloro- and 16β-bromo-cyproterone acetate, detailing the chemical processes involved, but reports no clinical outcomes.

In this experimental study, hyaluronic acid injections in BALB/c mice improved wound healing by increasing fibroblast numbers, collagen density, and epithelium thickness, while also enhancing hair growth, suggesting potential benefits for scar prevention in sutured incisions.

Chitosan-decorated carriers may improve topical finasteride delivery for hair loss treatment.

This study fabricated a polyamide fiber containing amber particles and characterized its potential for textile applications, noting that the chemical structure of amber remained unchanged after grinding and integration.

This study found that the keratin matrix in mammalian hard α-keratins is crucial for maintaining stiffness in water by controlling intermediate filament hydration.

This study found that artocarpin delivered via alginate/chitosan microparticles effectively suppressed the growth of hamster flank organs compared to artocarpin in solution form, without significant systemic effects.

In this study, researchers developed a new Supported Ionic Liquid Phase palladium catalyst that showed effectiveness in aminocarbonylation reactions for synthesizing pharmaceutical compounds like CX-546 and a precursor of Finasteride, though results were sensitive to substrate variations and prompted palladium leaching concerns.

This review details how hydrogel composites play crucial roles in regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, and drug delivery systems, highlighting innovations in these applications and addressing challenges like bioactivity, biomechanical compatibility, and controlled drug release.

The document says biodegradable cosmetics and packaging are better for the environment and user experience.

This study explored the development of polymeric nanoparticles for topical spironolactone delivery, finding that larger nanoparticles (180 nm) enhanced drug targeting to hair follicles significantly more than smaller ones or non-nanoparticle formulations, offering promise for safer acne and alopecia treatments.

In this study, researchers developed and tested a gel containing apocynin-loaded nanoparticles that showed promising results in treating rheumatoid arthritis in rats, suggesting potential for novel topical treatments in inflammatory conditions.

This study found that custom alloplastic implants achieved a 95% success rate in reconstructing large cranial defects from warfare-related injuries, but frontal defects near airways and orbits showed higher infection and implant removal rates.

This study reported that a newly developed hydrogel composed of recombinant type I collagen and chitosan, incorporating a metal–polyphenol structure, demonstrated strong mechanical and healing properties, effectively promoting wound healing in a full-thickness skin defect model.

In this laboratory study, researchers developed a genipin-stabilized asymmetric PLA/gelatin scaffold that mimics skin architecture, supports fibroblast proliferation, and closes scratches effectively, suggesting its potential for epidermal-dermal regeneration and applications in sensing or drug delivery.

In this study, poly (ɛ-caprolactone)–chitosan–poly (vinyl alcohol) nanofibrous scaffolds used on canine skin wound models were found to significantly accelerate healing rates of excision and burn wounds, without inducing immunogenic reactions.

Animal experiments in this study demonstrated that a new sandwich-like fiber/sponge dressing design, which enhances wound healing through improved moisture management and faster exudate evaporation, resulted in more significant wound size reduction compared to commercial and control dressings.

This study suggests that combining monoammonium glycyrrhizinate/glycine/DL-methionine tablets with 5% carpronium chloride may reduce alopecia areata area more effectively than carpronium chloride alone, particularly in patients with allergic factors.

This study found that the new cocrystal formulation KET-PABA improved the antimycotic efficiency of ketoconazole and induced an anti-inflammatory response without causing skin sensitization in mice.

In this study, researchers developed grooved microneedles made from hyaluronic acid for precise transdermal drug delivery, achieving accurate dosage with a high probability of delivery (98% or more) by using an easy-to-operate applicator for shearing force.

This study found that incorporating adipose-derived stem cell conditioned medium into a polysaccharide hydrogel effectively reduced scar hyperplasia, with the combination offering better outcomes in preventing hypertrophic scarring compared to the medium alone in a rabbit ear model.

This study suggests that trichohyalin is modified by peptidyl-arginine deiminase before being cross-linked by TGase 3, allowing the formation of rigid structures in hair follicle cells.

In this study, intralesional triamcinolone acetonide was found to be more effective than platelet rich plasma and placebo for moderate to severe alopecia areata, but had a higher relapse rate.

In this pilot study, PDLLA scalp microinjections showed improvement in physician-rated Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale scores over 12-24 weeks for 90% of patients with non-scarring alopecia, with no serious adverse events reported, although findings remain preliminary due to methodological limitations.
