Elephantopus scaber and Clinacanthus nutans are traditionally used as wound healing herb. The objective of the present study is to develop a new polyherbal formulation, by comparison, the herbal combination of Elephantopus scaber and Clinacanthus nutans as an in vitro antioxidant activity with their individual herbal activity followed by fractionation of polyherbal formulation for in vivo wound...

Iranian Traditional Medicine (ITM) manuscripts contain prescriptions that have long been used for healing of wounds. The present study evaluates the healing effect of a poly herbal paste (PHP), retrieved from ITM sources, containing Aloe vera, Commiphora myrrha and Boswellia carteri using rat excision wound model. Excision wounds were induced in six groups consisting of six rats each. Group 1 r...

Calotropis gigantea Linn. (Asclepiadaceae) a widely growing plant has been reported to possess number of medicinal properties. It has been reported as a traditional folk medicine for a variety of alignments. The plant C. gigantea is also used in some parts of India for wound healing in combination with other plants. However there are no scientific reports on wound healing activity of the plant ...

Solanum xanthocarpum Schrad. & Wendl. (Family-Solanaceae), commonly known as Yellow-Berried Nightshade, fruits are used traditionally in the folklore for treatment of various kinds of wounds. The present study was undertaken to verify the effects of its fruits on experimentally induced excision and incision wound models in Sprague Dowlay rats. Aloe vera Linn. was used as standard wound healing ...

Purpose: The fruits of Limonia acidissima Linn are used traditionally in India for the treatment of tumours, asthma, wounds, cardiac debility and hepatitis. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the wound healing activity of the methanol extract of its fruit pulp (MELA) in incision, excision and dead-space wound models.

Introduction Impaired diabetic wound healing is an important issue in diabetic complications. The present study aims to evaluate the protective effect on glycemic control against impaired diabetic wound healing using a diabetic rat model. We investigated the wound healing process and effect on the impaired wound repair by glycemic control in the Spontaneously Diabetic Torii (SDT) fatty rat, whi...

Wound healing assays are commonly used to study how populations of cells, initialised on a two-dimensional surface, act to close an artificial wound space. While real wounds have different shapes, standard wound healing assays often deal with just one simple wound shape, and it is unclear whether varying the wound shape might impact how we interpret results from these experiments. In this work,...
