Cod skin can heal wounds
Ireland's Kerecis said cod skin can be used as a new therapy for chronic wounds.
Ireland's Kerecis company said cod skin can be used as a new therapy for chronic wounds , including foot ulcers due to complications of diabetes or high blood pressure, back or buttocks sores caused by lying long-term treatment, painful and difficult to heal.
According to the company Kerecis, the skin of the codfish (caught in the Atlantic Ocean) is first treated to remove all the cells, leaving only the connective tissue in the fat. After the sterilization process, they will be applied to the wound like a natural tissue frame to create an environment for new tissue to grow. After a while, this processed skin layer will transform into living tissue. The biggest advantage of cod therapy is that it has similar properties to human skin but contains omega 3 oil, which has anti-inflammatory effects and supports wound healing.

In the first trial, 10 patients showed that their wounds were improved and 6 of them had completely healed in just 28 days. Test results after 1 year of treatment on 37 other patients, the wound of 36 people improved markedly. Although the patient's condition remained unchanged, the wound did not change badly.
In another skin study, the University of Lon Don (UK) scientists first identified two different types of fibroblast cells - a type needed for formation and Development of hair follicles, a type capable of healing wounds on the skin.
Fibroblasts are the type of cells found in the connective tissue of organs in the body with the function of producing proteins like collagen. It has long been believed that all fibroblasts are the same type of cell. However, scientists after the study of mice found that the number of fibroblasts may increase due to signals from the outer epidermis and this increase promotes hair follicle formation during the process. healing. Thus, by stimulating the development of fibroblasts, researchers hope to heal skin lesions, prevent scarring and minimize the aging effects on the skin.
