Researchers from the Kunming Botanical Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed an adhesive for wound healing from snail mucus. As reported by Ukrinform, this was
As reported by Ukrinform, this was reported by Xinhua.
More than two thousand years ago, land snails and their mucus were used to relieve pain caused by burns, abscesses, and other injuries. In this regard, scientists from the said institute hypothesized that snail mucus, which has adhesive properties and implicit biological activity, could be a potential tool for healing wounds.
It was noted that the created biomaterial showed excellent hemostatic properties, high biocompatibility and biodegradability.
In experiments on rats, the new adhesive showed efficacy in wound healing.
As further studies show, snail slime glue can also relieve chronic inflammation of the wound, will significantly contribute to epithelial regeneration and angiogenesis.
Scientists believe this discovery is of great importance for the development of bioadhesives and bioengineered structures.
According to the news of Ukrinform, scientists from the Institute of Molecular Biology and Genetics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine made an important discovery that will help to understand the genetic mechanisms of complex sexual disorders. Developing treatments for male and female infertility.
