Algae Gel for Wound Repair
A bio-gel derived from brown marine algae has been developed to accelerate wound healing, reducing inflammation and alleviating oxidative stress by gradually releasing antioxidants without being toxic to cells. Researchers utilized sodium genes from the algae and similar antioxidant compounds to those found in the body's enzymes, encapsulated within tiny capsules embedded in an alginate network to ensure a steady release, especially during the first 24 hours after injury. Experiments showed that the gel enhances the behavior of immune cells to support regeneration, with no toxic effects observed on skin cells, paving the way for the development of effective biological dressings for skin and mucous membrane repair.
