  Background: The wound healing process comprises of highly complex and dynamic events which allow the reestablishment of skin's structural integrity. To overcome the drawbacks associated with this process, researchers have been focused on the development of new therapeutics. To meet this demand, an interesting option is Chitosan based biopolymers. This study develops and evaluates a combination of Chitosan and bioactive Spirulina microalgae, extract hydrogel as skin serum to enhance the wound healing process. Methods: Crude extract of dry S. platensis was prepared using three solvents (methanol, ethanol and water). Spirulina Extract-Chitosan Hydrogels (SECH) was synthesized using an ionic dilution method. SECH was characterized using Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) and TEM microscopy. In vitro.. View More»
