Scalable Production of Controllable Dermal Papilla Spheroids on PVA Surfaces and the Effects of Spheroid Size on Hair Follicle Regeneration

research Scalable production of controllable dermal papilla spheroids on PVA surfaces and the effects of spheroid size on hair follicle regeneration

78 citations , October 2012 in “Biomaterials”

Larger spheroids improve hair growth, but size doesn't guarantee thicker hair.

research Characteristics of melanocyte spheroids formed through different biomaterial-induced processes

9 citations , March 2018 in “Journal of the Formosan Medical Association”

The study investigated melanocyte spheroid formation using chitosan and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) biomaterials. It was found that melanocytes on chitosan surfaces attached, migrated, and aggregated to form spheroids, while on PVA surfaces, they directly aggregated in suspension. The chitosan membranes supported higher proliferative ability and survival rates of melanocytes compared to PVA. The study concluded that chitosan facilitated both cell-cell and cell-substrate interactions, enhancing cellular functions, whereas PVA only supported cell-cell interactions. Chitosan-induced spheroids potentially improved the diffusion and assimilation of trophic factors.

research Hypoxia-preconditioned ADSC exosomes encapsulated in a multifunctional dual-network hydrogel promote the healing and functional regeneration of seawater-immersed wounds

2 citations , June 2025 in “Chemical Engineering Journal”

The hydrogel helps heal seawater-immersed wounds by reducing infection and inflammation.

Electrospun Egg White Protein/Polyvinyl Alcohol/Graphene Oxide Fibrous Wound Dressing: Fabrication, Antibacterial, Cytocompatibility and Wound Healing Assay

research Electrospun egg white protein/polyvinyl alcohol/graphene oxide fibrous wound dressing: Fabrication, antibacterial, cytocompatibility and wound healing assay

10 citations , February 2023 in “Colloids and surfaces. A, Physicochemical and engineering aspects”

Adding 1 mg/ml of graphene oxide to egg white protein wound dressings improves antibacterial properties and supports skin repair.

research PVA/Agar based films reinforced with pickering emulsion of Achillea millefolium L. essential oil

June 2026 in “Gümüşhane Üniversitesi Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü Dergisi”

PVA/agar films with Achillea millefolium essential oil are promising for wound dressings due to good strength and selective antibacterial effects.
