Synthetic ‘super melanin’ speeds skin repair

Melanin, the pigment that provides the color in our skin and hair, also plays key roles in protecting skin from ultraviolet (UV) light and repairing skin wounds.

Super melanin may heal skin injuries from sunburn, chemical burns

A synthetic, biomimetic melanin may heal the damage that occurs when your skin is exposed to sunlight or environmental toxins.

Synthetic melanin nanoparticles for wound healing

Drs. Nathan Gianneschi and Kurt Lu at Northwestern University thought that applying melanin topically to skin injuries might aid wound healing.

New synthetic melanin could be a highly effective sunscreen booster

The synthetic melanin is capable of scavenging more radicals per gram compared to human melanin.

Scientists create ‘super melanin’ that speeds healing

Scientists at Northwestern University has developed a synthetic version of melanin that could have a million and one uses.
