June 2022 in “Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology” The gel with icariin speeds up wound healing, reduces scarring, and helps hair growth by controlling BMP4 signaling. It also reduces inflammation and improves wound quality in mice, adapts to different wound shapes, and gradually releases icariin to aid healing. It also prevents too much collagen and myofibroblast formation during skin healing.

June 2025 in “ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering” This study investigates the use of cell-free fat extract (Ceffe) encapsulated in gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) hydrogel to improve the survival rate of random skin flaps in mice. Ceffe, known for its bioactive compounds, was limited by quick leakage and short effectiveness when injected directly. By encapsulating Ceffe in GelMA, the study developed a stable release system that promotes angiogenesis and flap repair, as confirmed by various assays and histological analyses. The Ceffe@GelMA system demonstrated significant pro-repair activity, enhanced pro-angiogenic potential, and favorable biocompatibility, suggesting its therapeutic efficacy in preventing flap necrosis and representing a significant advancement in clinical treatment strategies.
