  Tissue Engineering. Part A, 2026

• Caviar extract inhibits UV-induced skin photoaging by reducing NF-κB, MMP-3, and MMP-9 expression, increasing IκB, TIMP-1, SOD, HYP, COL17A1, KRT10, and KRT14 levels, and exhibiting antioxidant activity in HaCaT cells and a skin aging mice model.

  Photochemistry and Photobiology, 2025

• Topical application of 0.1% hyaluronic acid formulations of different molecular weights led to significant improvements in skin hydration and elasticity, with low-molecular-weight formulations also significantly reducing wrinkle depth in seventy-six female subjects compared to a vehicle control.

  Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2011

• Topical application of hyaluronic acid in conjunction with free gingival graft significantly reduced donor site postoperative pain until day 7 compared to normal saline, with no significant differences in graft dimensions or patient satisfaction.

  Clinical Oral Investigations, 2022

• Treatment with a hyaluronic acid-containing mouth rinse or topical gel led to significant lesion reduction, pain relief, and normalization of lesion color in adult patients with minor recurrent aphthous stomatitis, with the gel formulation showing an earlier healing onset at 3 days.

  BMC Oral Health, 2019

• A skin barrier restoring cream with shea butter, silkflo, and vitamin E increased type I procollagen synthesis, enhanced antioxidant enzyme activity, decreased reactive oxygen species generation, and promoted hyaluronic acid production in H2O2-stimulated human keratinocyte cells compared to untreated cells.

  International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2025

• Enzyme-modified ginseng extract cream significantly reduced the global photo-damage score and various roughness measures including total roughness, smoothness depth, and arithmetic roughness average compared to placebo in 23 human subjects.

  Rejuvenation Research, 2015

• A red ginseng hydrogel formulation with 1,2-hexanediol promoted selective growth of Staphylococcus epidermidis and decreased Cutibacterium acnes in 20 female subjects.

  Journal of Ginseng Research, 2022

• A 1% fermented black ginseng cream significantly reduced eye wrinkles and brightened skin color in twenty-three human subjects compared to control cream and baseline.

  Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health. Part A, 2020

• Topical formulations containing DNA repair enzymes or RNA fragments reduced UV-induced contact hypersensitivity suppression to 19% and 7% respectively compared to 64% in unprotected subjects, and decreased thymine dimers by 18% in humans.

  Photochemistry and Photobiology, 2008

• Chemically modified mRNA encoding epidermal growth factor (EGF cmRNA) significantly accelerated wound healing, promoted cell proliferation and migration in vitro, and outperformed recombinant human EGF by Day 14 in a full-thickness skin defect mouse model.

  International Wound Journal, 2025

• Transient correction of COL7A1 mutations using a non-viral 3'-RTMS6m repair molecule achieved a trans-splicing efficiency of ~1.5% in keratinocytes and ~0.6% in fibroblasts, with restored type VII collagen protein expression in vitro and accumulation within the basement membrane zone of RDEB skin equivalents.

  International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023

• Topical application of photolyase-containing liposomes followed by photoreactivating light decreased UVB-induced dimers by 40-45% and prevented immunosuppression, erythema, and sunburn-cell formation in healthy human subjects.

  Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2000

• Topical application of photolyase plus sunscreen significantly reduced the formation of CPDs and apoptotic cell death compared to sunscreen alone in ten human volunteers.

  Molecular Medicine Reports, 2012

• Topical application of water-in-oil nanoemulsions containing plasmid DNA on murine skin facilitated transfection primarily in follicular keratinocytes with optimal transgene expression at 24 hours, outperforming cationic liposome controls.
