Article Synopsis
- Ulcerative dermatitis (UD) primarily affects C57BL/6 mice, leading to severe itching and skin lesions, often aggravated by self-trauma and delayed healing.
- The disease shows non-specific histological changes and is influenced significantly by diet, particularly a high-fat western-style diet (HFWD), which increases the incidence and severity of UD.
- Dietary supplementation with minerals from marine red algae in HFWD-fed mice reduced lesion severity and incidence, suggesting that proper mineral intake may help combat UD in affected mice.

Article Synopsis
- * In studies involving different rodent models, MDI 301 was applied to skin affected by corticosteroids, diabetes, and aging, and it significantly accelerated the healing of wounds compared to control treatments.
- * After wound closure, tests showed that MDI 301 boosted collagen levels and decreased harmful matrix metalloproteinases in all models, with minimal skin irritation observed during treatment.
