Russian scientists develop algae-based treatment to speed wound healing

Russian scientists have developed an innovative algae-based treatment to expedite wound healing. The treatment is based on a hydrogel that supports cell function during inflammation and adjusts to oxidative stress. Moscow State University researchers found that the hydrogel has no toxic effect on human skin cells and releases most of its active components within the first 24 hours after application.

This treatment addresses issues such as microorganisms, foreign bodies, and vascular problems that can impede natural wound healing.
