Chronic wounds, particularly those in diabetic patients, present major therapeutic challenges due to impaired tissue regeneration and extracellular matrix (ECM) dysregulation. 

A recent study has developed a novel composite aerogel scaffold designed to enhance bone regeneration in cases of bone defects.

Shrimp processing waste, often discarded as low-value by-product, may hold untapped therapeutic potential. In a recent study, researchers identified five antioxidant peptides from shrimp by-products, with HFVPVYEGF and EGYPFNPLL showing the most potent protective effects against oxidative damage. These peptides demonstrated the ability to reduce reactive oxygen species (ROS), boost antioxidant enzyme activity, and significantly enhance the viability of human liver cells (HepG2) under oxidative stress. The findings reveal a promising avenue for converting seafood waste into high-value bioactive ingredients with health-promoting functions.
