 | | |  Cosmetic microneedles deliver actives where creams struggle This review shows how microneedle-based cosmetic systems bypass the stratum corneum to deliver poorly penetrating actives, including peptides, retinoids, vitamins, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and hair-growth compounds, into viable skin layers. | | | | |  A 10-minute evening skincare massage may help women sleep better and feel less anxious Four weeks of a 10-minute evening cosmetic routine with self-massage improved self-reported sleep quality, state anxiety, mental health, and vitality in women with sleep complaints compared with usual routines. Exploratory wearable data showed longer total and deep sleep on rest days, but the non-randomized design and absence of wearable controls limit causal conclusions. | |

| | | | |  In the neonatal intensive care unit, the most fragile patients in medicine are often the most heavily wired. Premature babies, some weighing less than a pound, can be tethered to a tangle of cables, monitors, and sensors. | | | | |  Biohub researchers performed what they believe is the first genome-wide CRISPR study of primary human adult skin cells, then used an AI model to mine the results for overlooked drug targets for psoriasis. | | | | |  A soft, wireless NIRS forehead patch tracked water-sensitive brain signals during 16 overnight home sleep recordings in four healthy men. The signals changed with EEG/EOG-defined sleep stages, suggesting a new way to study sleep-linked brain-fluid dynamics, although the device did not directly measure CSF flow or glymphatic clearance. | | | | |  Plant researchers from Wales and Uganda have collaborated on a community enterprise project in rural Uganda, becoming the first to create affordable and highly effective mosquito repellent distilled from locally grown catnip plants. | | | | |  Popular science fiction is no stranger to escape pod scenarios, typically featuring characters who narrowly avoid their demise by jettisoning from a spaceship - think R2-D2 and C-3PO shooting away from a rebel spaceship in the opening of Star Wars: A New Hope. Biologists at the University of California San Diego have found that communities of bacteria feature a similar ejection capability. | | | | | Cupping therapy is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) technique used to treat chronic pain, expedite muscle recovery, and other conditions. | | | | |  Rice University's Synthesis X Center and Houston Methodist Neal Cancer Center have awarded $90,000 in seed grants as part of a new strategic collaboration. | | | | | Diagnosis and management of atopic dermatitis, a type of eczema, are complicated by skin temperature fluctuations, unclear responses to at-home moisturizers, and measurement systems that don't penetrate into the deep layers of skin affected by disease. | | | | |  The evolution of wearable biosensors is enhancing digital health, offering seamless, battery-free monitoring for improved patient care and precision medicine. | | | | | Dressings face a critical limitation: no single product has successfully integrated protective function, wearing comfort, and efficient antibacterial activity. | | | | | Ongoing research reveals that multifloral honey is a promising candidate for protecting human skin cells from premature ageing and cell damage caused by UV radiation, with the potential for developing future clinical and cosmetic applications. | | | | | An innovative new study from the Neuroscape research center at UCSF, and consumer electronics giant Samsung seeks to understand decade-by-decade changes in brain health. | | | | | Today at ISSCR 2026, new preliminary clinical data was presented evaluating an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived CAR T-cell therapy for patients with treatment-resistant systemic sclerosis, a rare autoimmune disease with high mortality. | | | | | Announcing a new article publication in BIO Integration. Skin wound healing, especially in chronic non-healing conditions, such as diabetic foot ulcers and infected wounds, remains a formidable clinical challenge due to the complex pathophysiologic mechanisms and prolonged repair processes. | |
