Key findings
- 01 In vivo (Wistar rat model) studies showed nanoemulsified extract promoted wound healing by increasing angiogenesis (~20%), reducing inflammation (TNF-α by ~35%), and improving re-epithelialization.
- 02 In vitro (human HaCaT keratinocytes) testing demonstrated no cytotoxicity and favorable effects on cell proliferation and viability.
- 03 Nanoemulsions increased cell migration in scratch assays and were confirmed as non-irritating in HET-CAM tests.
