Carrageenan-Based Compounds as Wound Healing Materials

“…The current literature defines wounds as a damaging process involving the integrity of skin and mucous membranes and other deeper tissues. Researchers either describe the wound healing process as being comprised of either four overlapping phases—hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling—or three overlapping phases: (a) inflammatory, fibroblastic, and maturing, or (b) inflammatory, proliferation, and remodeling [ 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ]. Wound contraction is the last stage of the wound healing process, usually overlapped with the remodeling phase [ 21 , 22 ].…”

Exploring the Phytochemical Composition and Biological Potential of Balkan Endemic Species Stachys scardica Griseb

“…Being the largest and the outermost organ of the human body, the skin plays a main role in the interaction of the organism with the environment, and its main function is the protection of the body against harmful impacts like pathogens, pollutants, and unfavourable environmental conditions. All these factors disrupt skin homeostasis and induce oxidative stress and inflammation, which often results in the development of chronic skin diseases like psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and eczema [ 2 , 3 ]. These are the most common inflammatory skin disorders in the human population and their conventional treatment includes the application of steroidal anti-inflammatory preparations that pose a risk of side effects [ 4 ].…”
