The study team found that the rats treated with a topical gel containing a wild blueberry phenolic extract had improved migration of endothelial cells to the wound site and a 12% increase in wound closure. “Wild blueberries have the potential to enhance cell migration, new blood vessel formation (angiogenesis) and vascularization and to speed up wound closure. This is especially important in conditions that require enhanced wound closure in patients with chronic wounds such as diabetic wounds, burns and pressure ulcers,” says Tolu Esther Adekeye, MS, first author of the study.
