Lawsone modulates oxidative stress, apoptosis, and enhances growth factor expression in human dermal fibroblasts under hyperglycemic conditions.
Molecular biology reports · 2026
INTRODUCTION: Delayed wound healing is a serious issue in diabetes, which is driven by metabolic and non-metabolic factors. Dysfunction and decreased lifespan of fibroblast cells play a key role in this condition. Lawsone (2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone), the main active component of Lawsonia inermis, is well known for its anticancer and regenerative effects, although these effects vary depending on… Read on PubMed →
Chemical Characteristics and Antimicrobial Activity of Arctostaphylos uva-ursi (L.) Spreng. Extracts Against Skin-Associated Bacteria.
Molecules (Basel, Switzerland) · 2026
The interest in the use of phytochemicals and herbal medicines for the treatment of acne vulgaris has grown steadily over recent decades. The research on the secondary metabolites and biological properties of bearberry (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi (L.) Spreng.) has been intensified in recent years, but the range of bacterial strains tested, many of which are highly relevant to human health, remains… Read on PubMed →
Decoding the Skin Micro-Immune Milieu, Homeostasis, and Keratinocyte Trafficking in Psoriatic Disease.
Immunological investigations · 2026
INTRODUCTION: The skin, acting as a complex interface between the immune system and microbiome, maintains balance through coordinated interactions among the epidermal barrier, microbiome, and immune responses. Psoriasis, a chronic autoimmune and inflammatory disorder, disrupts this balance by altering keratinocyte growth, immune signaling, and microbial diversity. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: The… Read on PubMed →
pH-gated dual-modal switch photothermal cascade nanozyme hydrogel for diabetic infectious wound healing.
Biomaterials advances · 2026
Diabetic wounds are affected by hyperglycemia and neurovascular complications, and are often further exacerbated by bacterial infections, hypoxia, and insufficient collagen deposition. To overcome these pathological barriers, we have designed a pH-gated nanozyme cascade catalytic strategy for rapid bacterial eradication and skin regeneration. In this study, we first synthesized Prussian blue… Read on PubMed →
