Researchers discover seaweed molecules can help heal wounds
Molecules from unique species similar in structure and function to human skin molecules Scientists from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Electromaterial Science (ACES) and University of Wollongong (UOW), in partnership with their seaweed bioinks collaborators Venus Shell Systems, have discovered that a molecular species known as ulvan aids wound healing in humans. Their research paper is the cover story on the latest issue of Biomaterials Science. Titled ‘3D bioprinting dermal-like structures using species-specific ulvan’, the new findings outline how ulvan contained in green seaweed can...
