Yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) collagen-based wound dressing promotes wound closure by reducing tissue inflammation

Abstract

This study investigated the wound-closing properties of collagen-based dressings derived from various biological sources. Specifically, we focused on the wound healing process and evaluated the effects of a wound dressing made from collagen derived from the skin of yellowfin tuna. The results demonstrated that the yellowfin based wound dressing (YCWD) promoted wound healing with good anti-infection properties during the inflammatory phase of the wound healing process. Additionally, the YCWD did not interfere with or negatively impact the natural sequence of events involved in wound healing and promoted complete wound closure. Overall, these findings indicate that the YCWD promoted wound healing and closure with anti-infection effects. These results contribute to current understandings of collagen-based dressings and future potential applications for wound control.
