University

A cutting-edge AI-driven approach to develop senolytic peptides from eggshell membranes, targeting cellular aging in the scalp. This solution leverages AI screening and optimized hydrolysis to produce peptides that promote hair growth and combat androgen-induced hair loss, verified through in vivo tests.

Overview

Our innovative solution employs AI-guided processes to develop senolytic peptides from eggshell membranes, specifically targeting scalp cellular aging. By utilizing a combination of AI-driven screening and optimized hydrolysis, we aim to identify and produce peptides that effectively promote hair growth and inhibit androgen-induced hair loss. This approach addresses the current lack of commercial scalp senescence-targeted ingredients and offers a potent alternative for hair regrowth treatments.

Technical specifications

Key features:

  • AI Screening: Utilizes a docking-machine learning model to screen for senolytic peptides, ensuring the selection of potent anti-aging candidates.
  • Optimized Hydrolysis: Refines hydrolysis parameters to maximize target peptide yield, minimizing activity loss due to over-hydrolysis.
  • In Vivo Verification: Conducts hair regrowth tests on mouse models to validate efficacy, focusing on follicle-aging and senescence inhibition.
  • Raw Material and Production Capability: Leverages abundant eggshell membrane resources and mature production equipment to ensure scalability and consistent supply.
Technology readiness level

Currently at TRL 4, the technology has undergone laboratory validation, including pilot production of 120 kg batches. Future plans include scaling up to stable production levels of 50–500 kg annually, with comprehensive technical documentation prepared for partners.
