September 2025 in “Wound Repair and Regeneration” This study found that an acellular dermal matrix derived from tilapia skin significantly accelerated wound healing and improved tissue regeneration quality in mouse and pig models compared to a commercial porcine-derived matrix, suggesting its potential as a safe, cost-effective bioscaffold for skin repair.
February 2024 in “Research Square (Research Square)” In this study, researchers applied Strat-M® membrane to assess the in vitro transdermal properties of collagen peptides, finding a high correlation with results from mouse skin and suggesting that Strat-M® can effectively replace excised mouse skin in transdermal experiments.
