June 2023 in “Journal of trace elements in medicine and biology” This study identified dose levels of selenium that can produce toxicity, noting that doses as low as 2-3 µg Se/kg bw/day can lead to adverse effects, and a human mortality study linked 300 µg/day consumption to increased death risk.
August 2026 in “International Journal of Nanomedicine” This review discusses the transformation of selenium nanoparticles into multifunctional platforms for skin disease treatment, focusing on engineering principles rather than their intrinsic bioactivity alone, and reports no new clinical results.
September 2025 in “ACS Applied Polymer Materials” This study reported that a composite hydrogel made with Chlorella-derived extracellular polysaccharide–selenium nanoparticles showed strong antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects in vitro and significantly accelerated wound healing in vivo, offering potential for managing infected wounds and monitoring healing progression.
March 2025 in “Journal of Controlled Release” This study found that a biocomposite microneedle system, which includes selenium nanozyme and hypoxic extracellular vesicles, enhanced hair density and follicle diameter in androgenetic alopecia mice by fighting inflammation, promoting blood vessel growth, reducing reactive oxygen species, and counteracting androgen effects.
April 2026 in “Biomaterials and Biosystems” This study found that combining multiple low-dose exosome injections with NIR-II-responsive selenium telluride-mediated photothermal therapy significantly improved healing in diabetic mice with pressure ulcers, enhancing wound closure, hair follicle regeneration, and collagen remodeling compared to single high-dose exosome treatment.
