Abstract: Disclosed is a polypeptide having a base amino acid sequence and wherein at least two amino acid residue side chains are substituted with functional Michael acceptor groups. Also disclosed are cosmetic compositions including the polypeptide, a method for repairing damaged hair using the polypeptide or composition, and to the use of the polypeptide or composition in such methods.

Abstract: A method is described for the treatment and/or prevention of damaged keratin in a keratin-containing tissue, comprising the steps of: applying on the keratin-containing tissue a cosmetic composition comprising molecules carrying at least one light reactive functional group, and at least one photoinitiator; and leaving to process with exposure of the keratin-containing tissue to light, the light being of a wavelength suitable for activating said at least one photoinitiator. A cosmetic composition is also described comprising molecules carrying at least one light reactive functional group and at least one photoinitiator; and its use.

Abstract: A tissue harvesting device (1), comprising a rotary cutting tool (10) adapted to cut soft tissue and a collection container (20) including a central bore (21) extending in a longitudinal direction and with a distal opening (22), wherein the cutting tool is arranged in the central bore of the collection container and adapted to pass through the distal opening and draw harvested soft tissue fragments into the collection container, and a housing (30) accommodating the cutting tool and the collection container, wherein the collection container is axially movable with respect to the housing.

Abstract: An electrospinning apparatus for the production of fibrous materials includes a compartment having at least one chamber to contain a substance from which fibers are to be formed. The chamber is electrically charged at a chamber potential. The apparatus also includes a collector to collect the fibers from the chamber. The collector is electrically charged at a ground potential different from the chamber potential, thereby establishing an electric field between the chamber and the collector. The chamber includes a forming layer having a plurality of openings through which the substance is extruded into the fibers.
