TLDR Synthetic hyaluronic acid speeds up wound healing.
The study investigates the effects of synthetic hyaluronic acid injections on wound healing in sutured incisions in BALB/c mice. The results indicate that hyaluronic acid significantly enhances wound healing by promoting fibroblast accumulation, collagen fiber proliferation, granulation tissue formation, and epithelialization. These findings suggest that hyaluronic acid could be a beneficial treatment for improving wound healing processes.
