A method for obtaining a collagen peptide from a starfish, an elastic liposome containing a starfish-derived collagen peptide, and a cosmetic composition containing the same are disclosed. Methods of using the collagen peptide or the elastic liposome are disclosed. The collagen peptide obtained from a starfish has excellent skin absorption rate and having anti-oxidation and wrinkle-improving activity. Thus, the collagen peptide may replace existing animal collagen to provide collagen with high extraction efficiency.

Methods and devices for the repair of articular tissue using collagen material are provided. Compositions of collagen material and related kits are also provided.

A method of treating diseased tissue while healing the wound using a diode laser which generates a beam of light having a wavelength in the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum (400 nm-700 nm) at a laser power of 0.001 to 1.2 watts, used with intermittent stops to control tissue temperature and biostimulate epithelial regeneration when used with or without substrates. A method of treating diseased tissue using a laser light in the green wavelength range (520-570 nm) at a laser power of 0.001 W to 5 W. A method of treating diseased tissue using a laser light in the IR wavelength range (700-1400 nm) at a laser power of 0.001 W to 5 W.

Suggested is a hair care blend, comprising: (a) at least one wheat bran extract, and (b1) at least carboxylic acid alkyl ester and/or (b2) at least one diol.

Methods and industrial scale set-ups for manufacturing spray-dried powders are provided. During the process, a solvent is used. The process is done batchwise such that the emulsification mass ratio is low when removal of the solvent is started. Preferred solvents are isopropyl acetate and ethyl acetate.

The present disclosure relates to a method of forming a keratin filament network, comprising: (i) dialysing a solubilized keratin solution in a dialysis buffer solution at a pH of about 2.5 to about 5.5 to obtain purified keratin; (ii) mixing the purified keratin with a salt in the acidic buffer solution; and (ill) drying the solution of step (ii) to form the keratin filament network. In one embodiment, he dialysis buffer solution comprises a weak acid, a denaturing agent and a reducing agent. The said method comprises self-assembly of the keratin filament network. The present disclosure also relates to a keratin filament network comprising at least 2 Type I human hair keratins and at least 2 Type II human hair keratins.
