Anderss (SKA) has been used traditionally to treat inflammation, pain, and edema. SKA has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, but no study has examined its effects on skin wound healing. Here, we aimed to investigate the effects of the absolute extracted from SKA flower (SKAFAb) on skin wound healing-associated responses in keratinocytes.

Here, we investigated the effects of absolute extracted from SC flowers (SCF) on skin wound healing-linked responses and functional skin barrier proteins using human epidermal keratinocytes (HaCaT cells). SCF absolute contained 20 components and was non-toxic to HaCaT cells.

In this study, we examined the effect of PF flower absolute (PFFA) on skin wound healing- and skin barrier-linked responses in human epidermal keratinocytes (HaCaT cells).

(ZM) has cytotoxic and anti-inflammatory activities, but its biological activities such as skin regeneration and wound healing in human skin have not been reported. In the present study, we tested the effects of ZM flower (ZMF) absolute on proliferation and migration of human keratinocytes (HaCaTs) and identified its components by using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) analysis.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFis widely reported to be a problematic weed in agricultural areas and is mainly used as an indicator plant for the development of herbicides. However, its bioactivities on skin regeneration and wound healing have not been investigated. In the present study, we investigated the effects of flower absolute on skin wound healing and skin regeneration-related events, that is, proliferation, migration, and collagen biosynthesis, in human fibroblasts and keratinocytes.
