Liu et al. established a novel sprayable adhesive (ZnMet-PF127) by the combination of a thermosensitive hydrogel (Pluronic F127, PF127) and a coordination complex of zinc and metformin (ZnMet).  They demonstrated that ZnMet-PF127 potently promotes the healing of traumatic skin defect and burn skin injury by promoting cell proliferation, angiogenesis, collagen formation. ZnMet also turned out…

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) and their exosome subsets are vesicle-like nanoparticles that are secreted by cells and contain various factors that treat various diseases. Wu et al.  isolated EVs from the marine shellfish Pinctada martensii mucus and studied the efficacy of those EVs in modulating the inflammatory environment. A human skin inflammatory cell model was established to…

  The commensal microbes of the skin have a significant impact on dermal physiology and pathophysiology. Racial and geographical differences in the skin microbiome are suggested and may play a role in the sensitivity to dermatological disorders, including infectious diseases. Little is known about the skin microbiome profiles of people living in Central Africa, where…

News release, Skin Ageing & Challenges – 23 June 2022 Exosomes are regenerative mediators for skin rejuvenation. In the context of aesthetic medicine, platelets are an ideal source for exosomal isolation given their role in skin healing. Human platelet extract (HPE) is an allogeneic exosome product derived from US-sourced, leukocyte-reduced apheresed platelets with consistent purity…

News Release, Skin Aging & Challenges – August 8, 2022 Oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction play a role in the process of skin photoaging via activation of matrix metalloproteases (MMPs) and the subsequent degradation of collagen. The activation of nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), a transcription factor controlling antioxidant and cytoprotective defense systems, might…
