Summary: This study investigates the synergistic effect of a mixture of Aloe vera flower and Aloe gel on cutaneous wound healing and reveals its molecular mechanism targeting microfibril-associated glycoprotein 4 (MFAP4) and its associated signaling pathway. The mixture enhances cell proliferation, migration, and ECM formation in normal human dermal fibroblast (NHDF) cells by increasing the expression of MFAP4. It also activates the ERK and AKT signaling pathways and slightly modifies the cell cycle. In addition, the mixture induces cell migration and suppresses inflammatory cytokines in HaCaT cells. The knockdown of MFAP4 highlights its crucial role in cutaneous wound healing.

Summary: The study demonstrates that Aloe vera hydrogel can enhance wound healing speed, reduce the total healing time, and achieve complete wound closure in 15 days. The results confirm the good interaction of the hydrogel with proteins and growth factors, as well as the microstructure and micro-roughness that promote good adhesion to the wound.

Summary: The addition of aloe vera gel had significant effects on various properties of yogurt, with decreases in pH, viscosity, fat content, and other values over time, while acidity and syneresis increased. Overall, adding 3% aloe vera to yogurt with 1% fat content was found to be the most effective in terms of both physicochemical and organoleptic characteristics.

Summary: Aloe vera is an ancient medicinal plant with over 200 biologically-active substances, known for its healing properties and fewer adverse effects compared to other alternative herbal medicines. The key component in Aloe vera leaves is acemannan, a long-chain polymer with immune modulation, antibacterial, antifungal, and antitumor properties. Aloe vera is extensively used in cosmetics, wound healing, and textile composites for various purposes such as tissue engineering, medical textiles, and UV protection textiles.

Summary: The present research focuses on studying the properties of hydrogels made from allantoin, xanthan gum, salicylic acid, and different concentrations of Aloe vera. The evaluation included thermal behavior, chemical structure, morphology, and pharmacotechnical properties of the hydrogels. Results showed that the addition of Aloe vera led to interactions with the hydrogel matrix, and a formulation with 10% Aloe vera concentration was found suitable for biomedical applications.

Summary: This study aimed to accelerate wound healing in delayed cesarean section patients using alginate-aloe vera/ZnO NPs film plus mupirocin. Results showed faster recovery in the treated group compared to the control, with no allergic reactions reported. The use of this treatment may be a new approach to reduce complications in CS approximation.
