According to a recent study published in the journal Advanced Materials Interfaces, a product derived from the freshwater single-celled green algae Euglena gracilis may accelerate skin regeneration and wound healing. Researchers have created a system utilizing microvesicles that originate from th

may help speed up skin regeneration and wound healing. These microvesicles contain β-glucan, which regulates the immune system, promotes regeneration, and acts as an antioxidant. Laboratory experiments showed that these microvesicles increased collagen synthesis, proliferation-associated proteins, and the proliferation and migration of skin cells, with promising wound healing results.
In laboratory experiments, these microvesicles promoted the proliferation and migration of skin cells, increasing both collagen synthesis and the expression of proliferation-associated proteins. A wound healing test also generated promising results.is a single-celled organism belonging to the phylum Euglenophyta. It is a photosynthetic protist and is commonly found in freshwater environments.
“This technique is expected to be applied to other cells, thereby enabling the design of new types of extracellular vesicles that are applicable for skin treatments and care in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries,” the authors wrote.
