Hyaluronic Acid Accelerates Re-epithelialization and Alters Protein Expression in a Human Wound Model

Background:. Hyaluronic acid (HA), a large glycosaminoglycan involved in proliferation, migration, and tissue repair, is suggested to be an important factor for keratinocyte activation and re-epithelialization. The experimental hypothesis of this study was that HA accelerates re-epithelialization, a...
