September 2023 in “International Journal of Biological Macromolecules” This study found that a novel in-situ crosslinked self-healing hydrogel made from oxidized Bletilla striata polysaccharide and cationic gelatin enhanced wound healing and showed strong hemostatic performance in animal models, suggesting its potential as an effective wound dressing for skin trauma.
June 2025 in “ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering” In this study, researchers developed a new microneedle patch delivery system for minoxidil, which enhanced its controlled release and improved hair growth in mice, potentially offering better treatment outcomes for androgenetic alopecia.
June 2025 in “OPAL (Open@LaTrobe) (La Trobe University)” This study found that a novel bioengineered microneedle patch successfully delivered minoxidil to induce hair growth in a mouse model, suggesting a promising approach to improve treatment for androgenetic alopecia.
This study reported that chemically modified cellulose from pineapple waste effectively created nanoparticles for minoxidil delivery with high encapsulation efficiency and prolonged release, potentially useful for androgenic alopecia treatment.
