Tilapia extract for wound recovery

A new study from Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine found that the collagen contained in tilapia can make the wound safer and faster to recover The wound dressing made of collagen has many advantages, such as anti bacteria, easy to use, natural, hypoallergenic and painless Researchers made nanofibers from Tilapia collagen and covered the surface of skin wounds in mice The results showed that the rats using the nanofiber dressing recovered faster In the experimental detection, the nanofibers can promote the vitality of human skin cells in various ways, including the stimulation of the coding genes that combine various proteins and growth factors Tests at the cellular level have also shown that fish collagen is unlikely to cause an immune response, an important requirement for wound dressings Therefore, the research team believes that tilapia collagen should be tested and developed on a large scale in clinical application The research, published in the Journal of Applied Materials and interfaces, is supported by the National Natural Science Foundation.
