Kinesio Taping decreases healing area and modulates the tissue architecture on the cutaneous wound

Hyaluronidase Modulates Inflammatory Response and Accelerates the Cutaneous Wound Healing

Hyaluronidases are enzymes that degrade hyaluronan an important constituent of the extracellular matrix. They have been used as a spreading agent, improving the absorption of drugs and facilitating the subcutaneous infusion of fluids. Here, we investigated the influence of bovine testes hyaluronidase (HYAL) during cutaneous wound healing in in vitro and in vivo assays. We demonstrated in the wo...
