Flammulina velutipes polysaccharides scaffolds skin wound healing hair follicle regeneration FPS/NaOH microenvironment responsive cells mushroom polysaccharides wound healing hair regrowth

TLDR Mushroom-based scaffolds help heal skin wounds and regrow hair.

The study investigated the use of Flammulina velutipes polysaccharides-derived scaffolds (FPDSS) for skin wound healing and hair follicle regeneration. The results showed that FPDSS could provide a favorable microenvironment for skin tissue regeneration and hair follicle regeneration. Among the FPDSS groups, the FPS/NaOH group had the best wound-healing capacity and maximum number of responsive cells in the microenvironment. The study suggests that FPDSS, especially FPS/NaOH, can promote wound healing and hair follicle regeneration.
