June 2025 in “International Journal of Plant and Environment” The study utilized Alternanthera sessilis aqueous extract to synthesize nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiONPs) through a simple and cost-effective biological method. The extract, known for its health benefits including promoting hair growth, served as a capping agent to prevent agglomeration. Characterization of NiONPs was performed using photoluminescence and UV-visible spectroscopy, confirming their formation. The nanoparticles demonstrated significant antimicrobial activity against Bacillus subtilis, antifungal activity against Candida albicans, and effective dye-reduction capabilities against Rhodamine B and Methylene Blue, highlighting their potential for various applications.
March 2026 in “DergiPark (Istanbul University)” This study developed and optimized biotinoyl tripeptide-1 (BTP)-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) to protect hair from heat-induced damage. Using a Box-Behnken design, the researchers optimized the formulation, achieving a particle size of 207.3 nm, PDI of 0.297, zeta potential of -10.6 mV, and entrapment efficiency of 46.2%. Hair samples treated with BTP-SLNs showed improved cuticle integrity, reduced microfibrillary separation, and increased thermal resistance compared to untreated samples. The protective effects are attributed to lipid barrier formation and keratin matrix stabilization, indicating BTP-SLNs as a promising approach for enhancing thermal protection in hair care products.
