Oral Supplementation of Low-Molecular-Weight Collagen Peptides Reduces Skin Wrinkles and Improves Biophysical Properties of Skin: A Randomized, Double-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled Study.

Orally administered collagen peptides could contribute to antiaging by replacing the degraded extracellular matrix proteins caused by photoaging. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of low-molecular-weight collagen peptides for treating photoaged and dry skin. In this randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, double-blinded trial, we randomly assigned study participants ( = 100) to either the test product group or placebo group at a 1:1 ratio for 12 weeks.

Dual Skin-Whitening and Anti-wrinkle Function of Low-Molecular-Weight Fish Collagen.

In this study, we investigated the protective effects of low-molecular-weight fish collagen from tilapia against melanogenesis in melanocytes, ultraviolet B (UVB)-irradiated Hs27 skin fibroblasts, and hairless mice. We observed collagen production-related pathways in UVB-irradiated Hs27 skin fibroblasts and hairless mice, and the melanogenesis-related pathways in melanocyte and UVB-irradiated hairless mice. The collagen production-related pathways were activated in the UVB-irradiated Hs27 skin fibroblasts and hairless mice.

Smart Manufacturing Application in 3D FinFETs: New Approach for Performance-Yield Co-Optimization Based on Virtual Process Integration.

Currently, the semiconductor manufacturing industry is seeing rapid movement from 2D planar to 3D FinFET technology. Among SCE-enhanced scaled fin structures, depending on stress engineering to increase mobility, merged elevated source-drain (eSD) epi structures are widely used because they can maximize device performance by reducing Rsd. While there is active research on device and epi own defects related to eSD process, there is no study on yield effect.
