June 2026 in “Materials Today Bio” The study introduces a decellularized porcine amniotic membrane (dPAM) hydrogel, engineered using supercritical carbon dioxide, which effectively removes immunogenic components while preserving bioactive molecules crucial for skin regeneration. The hydrogel promotes angiogenesis, reduces pro-inflammatory responses, and enhances regenerative signaling in human follicle-derived dermal papilla cells, indicating its potential to influence hair follicle biology. In a UVB-induced skin inflammation murine model, the hydrogel demonstrated dual functionality by reducing early immune responses and promoting tissue repair. These findings suggest that dPAM hydrogel could serve as a bioactive platform for cutaneous repair and broader regenerative applications.
