Abstract
Various skin diseases have become increasingly common in people's daily lives due to adverse environmental factors, unhealthy lifestyle habits, and the influence of diseases, such as dermatitis, acne, scars, skin photoaging, and various skin injuries, which have a serious impact on people's physical and mental health. Recombinant collagen is a recombinant protein synthesized by transferring human collagen gene into expression host, such as plant, animal or microorganism, and successfully expressing it. Compared with traditional animal derived collagen, it has advantages such as good moisturizing properties, low immunogenicity, biocompatibility, anti-inflammatory properties, antioxidant properties, promotion of cell proliferation and collagen expression, and has shown broad application prospects in the field of dermatology. However, there are several inadequacies in the current technology that limit the application of recombinant collagen in dermatology: (1) whether the purity and impurities of recombinant collagen meet medical standards; (2) further research is needed on the effectiveness and safety of recombinant collagen in medicine. Therefore, we reviewed the preparation, basic properties, applications, and prospects of recombinant collagen in the field of dermatology, providing insights for its wider application in dermatology and clinical treatment.
期刊介绍:
Reactive & Functional Polymers provides a forum to disseminate original ideas, concepts and developments in the science and technology of polymers with functional groups, which impart specific chemical reactivity or physical, chemical, structural, biological, and pharmacological functionality. The scope covers organic polymers, acting for instance as reagents, catalysts, templates, ion-exchangers, selective sorbents, chelating or antimicrobial agents, drug carriers, sensors, membranes, and hydrogels. This also includes reactive cross-linkable prepolymers and high-performance thermosetting polymers, natural or degradable polymers, conducting polymers, and porous polymers.
Original research articles must contain thorough molecular and material characterization data on synthesis of the above polymers in combination with their applications. Applications include but are not limited to catalysis, water or effluent treatment, separations and recovery, electronics and information storage, energy conversion, encapsulation, or adhesion.
