The present invention provides a composite fiber which comprises an alginate fiber, a polymer material, an antibacterial agent, and a plasmid encoding growth factor-gene. The present invention also provides a wound dressing, wherein the wound dressing comprises a composite fiber as described above. The composite fibers prepared according to the present invention are capable of releasing the antibacterial agent and the growth factor gene, not only to reduce microorganism growth, but also to secrete growth factors in a wound site through transfection, thereby promoting wound healing.

Compositions and methods are disclosed herein to deliver and anchor nanoscale drug carriers into the extracellular matrix (ECM) of tissues, such as degenerating cartilage or tumor margins, and to provide local and sustained release of drugs.

Described herein are therapeutic compositions comprising heparin-associated polypeptides useful for the treatment of soft-tissue and muscle diseases, disorders, and injuries.

According to a skin ointment for treating labia minora skin according to the present disclosure, the skin ointment includes multi-growth factors as active ingredients, and is periodically applied to the vulva of a user so that the growth factors induce the regeneration of skin cells of the user, thereby increasing the effect of treating vulvar vestibulitis or wounds due to labia minora surgery, and addressing the fundamental causes thereof.

The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition or a cosmetic composition for preventing or treating hair loss, or promoting hair growth. The composition according to the present invention exhibits an excellent effect of preventing or treating hair loss and promoting hair growth, and can be safely used regardless of sex and age.

To prompt input and provide feedback on input to a user with an interface, inputs and graphical cursors associated with those inputs are defined. Each input may have several forms such as base, hover, engaged, completed, and error. User input is anticipated. The base form of the anticipated input cursor is displayed to prompt the user for the anticipated input. If user hover is detected that matches anticipated input, the hover form is displayed to confirm the match to the user. If user input is detected that matches anticipated input, the engaged form is displayed as confirmation. If user input is completed that matches anticipated input, the completed form is displayed as confirmation. If user hover or input does not match anticipated input, the error form is displayed to indicate mismatch. Not all cursors must have all forms, and some cursors may have multiples of some forms.

The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition or a cosmetic composition for preventing or treating hair loss, or promoting hair growth. The composition according to the present invention exhibits an excellent effect of preventing or treating hair loss and promoting hair growth by comprising cyclic ADP ribose (cADPR) or derivatives thereof or comprising at least one selected from the group comprising one or more nature-derived amino acid or salt thereof, one or more growth factor, noggin, one or more saturated or unsaturated C8 to C18 long chain fatty acid or salt thereof, one or more active factor and one or more water-soluble vitamin or salt thereof in addition to cyclic ADP ribose, and can be safely used regardless of sex and age.

Compositions for stabilizing and delivering proteins and/or other bioactive agents are disclosed. The bioactive agents are embedded or encapsulated in a crystalline matrix. Typically the bioactive agents are in the form of micro- or nanoparticles. The crystalline matrix confers enhanced stability to the agents embedded therein relative to other microparticulate or nanoparticulate bioactive agents. The carriers are especially useful for stabilizing bioactive macromolecules, such as proteins.

A method, system, apparatus, and/or device that may include a display configured to display a virtual object and a sensor configured to detect a viewer input. The method, system, apparatus, and/or device may include a processing device configured to: associate a first cursor with a first form of a user input; associate a second cursor with a second form of the user input; determine the first form of the user input is associated with a type of the virtual object; display the virtual object with the first cursor to the viewer; detect the viewer input from the viewer of the display; determine whether the form of the viewer input detected by the sensor is the first form, the second form, or an unknown form; and in response to the form of the viewer input being the first form, execute an executable instruction associated with the user input.
