[ 1 ] - Comprehensive analysis of zinc derivatives pro-proliferative, anti-apoptotic and antimicrobial effect on human fibroblasts and keratinocytes in a simulated, nutrient-deficient environment in-vitro

Zinc as therapeutic agent in skin and wound care has been known for centuries, but its role is controversial and comprehensive investigations in nutrient-deficient environments are lacking. We aimed to provide a broad analysis of different zinc derivatives on proliferation, apoptosis and antimicrobial properties in a simulated nutrient-deficient environment in-vitro. Human fibroblasts (CRL2522)...
