Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube-Guided Topical Skin Delivery of Tyrosinase to Prevent Photoinduced Damage

albino mouse skin, SaTy-SWNT synthesized melanin, resulting in 4-fold greater UV/vis absorption at 475 nm than in mice without SaTy-SWNT. The synthesized melanin efficiently absorbed UV light and alleviated skin inflammation. In addition, the densification of dermal collagen, achieved through SaTy-mediated cross-linking, reduced photoinduced wrinkles by 66.3% in the affected area. Our findings suggest that SWNT-mediated topical protein delivery holds promise in tissue engineering applications.
