Self-assembly of short biopeptides onto skin tissue components studied using QCM-D.
Article in International journal of cosmetic science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo enable the discovery of more effective formulations for cosmetic and dermatological applications by understanding the interactions of widely used bioactive ingredients with skin biomolecular components.
methodsAffinities of six common oligopeptide utilized in biomedical application to five primary skin biomolecules (collagen, elastin, laminin, fibronectin and hyaluronic acid) were measured by monitoring their adsorption and subsequent self-assembly using quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D).
resultsChemical compositions of both the adsorbates (oligo peptides) and the substrates (skin constituents) influence the adsorption behaviour. Notably, the acetylated elastin-like peptide exhibits minimal adsorption, but the same peptide with a palmitoyl tail shows an order of magnitude higher adsorption, possibly due to the formation of self-assembled aggregates. However, the palmitoyl tail does not have the same effect on a collagen-like sequence. Collagen is the most adhesive skin component for the peptides; fibronectin, elastin and laminin are similar with reduced affinity, and hyaluronic acid has the least affinity. A collagen-binding peptide derived from the collagen- binding domain of the von Willebrand factor shows the fastest kinetics. These observed adsorption behaviours can be understood in terms of noncovalent electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions between the adsorbates and substrates.
conclusionsAdsorption studies of cosmetic product ingredients onto endogenous extracellular matrix components in the skin reported here are expected to provide valuable insights for evaluating their potential efficacy.
