Abstract:Wound healing is a complex biological process impaired by several factors, and conventional treatments often result in undesirable side effects. Natural compounds have emerged as favourable alternatives due to their reduced side effects. C-phycocyanin (C-Pc), a natural phycobiliprotein derived from Spirulina platensis, shows promise in wound healing but is hindered by poor stability and low bioavailability. This study aimed to develop a hydrogel-based delivery system for C-Pc to enhance its stability and thera… Show more
