It was previously demonstrated that the methanol fraction of Sideroxylon obtusifolium (MFSOL) promoted anti-inflammatory and healing activity in excisional wounds. Thus, the present work investigated the healing effects of MFSOL on human keratinocyte cells (HaCaT) and experimental burn model injuries. HaCaT cells were used to study MFSOL’s effect on cell migration and proliferation rates. Female Swiss mice were...
Burns is a global public health problem, responsible for about 180,000 annual deaths and psychological and social damage. Tilapia skin (Oreochromis niloticus) has microscopic characteristics similar to the morphological structure of human skin and high resistance to traction, which supports its possible application as a biomaterial. Studies have shown that the tilapia skin occlusive dressing showed good adhesio...
