TLDR Collagen-heparin-FGF2-VEGF scaffolds can improve skin healing.
The study investigates the effects of collagen-heparin-FGF2-VEGF scaffolds on wound healing in a fetal sheep model. The findings suggest that these scaffolds can induce a regenerative gene expression profile, highlighting the potential for targeted and early intervention in wound healing to achieve long-term improvements in skin regeneration. This research provides new insights into the mechanisms of fetal wound healing and the possibility of enhancing skin regeneration through specific scaffold applications.
