Highlights:
A product of a freshwater single-celled green algae called Euglena gracilis may increase skin regeneration and speed up wound healing, according to new research published in Advanced Materials Interfaces.
- Euglena gracilis, freshwater green algae, helps speed up wound healing
- It increases both collagen synthesis and the expressions of proliferation-associated proteins
- This has considerable potential in the field of skin regeneration
Green Algae Good at Wound Healing
The researchers created a system based on microvesicles that sprout from the cell surface of Euglena gracilis and contain- glucan, a carbohydrate having immunoregulatory, regeneration, and antioxidant capabilities.
Instant Wound Healing Evolves into Reality With Cool Plasma Technology
Science fiction concept of instant wound healing may soon make its way into reality with plasma medicine/plasma technology by using plasma liquid models.

‘Euglena gracilis derived extracellular micro vesicle is a new type of nonanimal-derived extracellular vesicle system that demonstrates skin regeneration performance using a mix of experimental techniques and in vitro and ex vivo experiments.’
These microvesicles enhanced skin cell proliferation and migration in laboratory trials, enhancing collagen synthesis and the expression of proliferation-associated proteins. A wound healing test yielded good results as well. Can Green Algae be Used for Skin Treatments
“This technique is expected to be applied to other cells, thereby enabling the design of new types of extracellular vesicles that are applicable for skin treatments and care in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries,” the authors wrote.Source-Medindia
Natural Alkaline Hydrogel Helps Promote Wound Healing
The novel alkaline alginate hydrogel (pH 8.38-8.57) is prepared. It offers a good physiological environment around the wound, to promote the growth of new cells.

Vitamin D Levels Associated With Wound Healing in Burns
Patients with higher levels of vitamin D have a better prognosis, with improved wound healing and reduced risk of infection.

Gel Patch Improves Wound Healing and Reduces Scarring
A gel patch has been developed to speed up the healing of wounds and reduce scarring. This patch can benefit patients following surgery to reduce scar formation.
