Targeted keratin repair: A plant‐based approach to hair strength and surface restoration

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
Application of Avena strigosa seed extract may reinforce keratin bonding, restoring hair fibre integrity by promoting intramolecular interactions at damaged sites of keratin proteins. Abstract Objective Chemical and thermal stress disrupts the intramolecular and intermolecular interactions that stabilize hair keratin, leading to structural degradation ...

Antioxidant‐Thermoresponsive Collagen/Chitosan Nanocomposite Hydrogels With Praseodymium‐Doped Mesoporous Bioglass for Enhanced Bone Regeneration

Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part A, Volume 114, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Oxidative stress is a critical barrier to effective bone regeneration, often impairing cellular function and osteogenic differentiation. In this study, we report the novel development of a multifunctional chitosan/collagen (CS/Coll) hydrogel integrated with praseodymium‐doped mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (Pr‐MBGNs) engineered for ...

Ratiometric Mycotoxin Detection in Living Plants With Dual‐Emissive Nanosensors

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 47, 21 August 2026.
A minimally invasive microneedle patch integrates carbon dot‐embedded metal–organic frameworks as nanosensors to detect a key fungal toxin in living plants. The nanosensor produces a ratiometric fluorescence signal that enables early, non‐destructive diagnosis of fungal infection before visible symptoms, offering a new biomaterials‐based strategy for ...

Comparison of DermaGenius and In‐House qPCR Methods for Detection of Recalcitrant Dermatophyte Infections: A Practical Approach for Dermatologists and Mycologists

Mycoses, Volume 69, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic and recalcitrant dermatophytosis has become increasingly problematic in dermatology practice, largely due to emerging antifungal resistance, affecting not only terbinafine but also azoles. Among the causative agents, Trichophyton indotineae has emerged as a key pathogen associated with treatment failure, extensive disease ...
