Accelerative action of topical piperonylic acid on mice full thickness wound by modulating inflammation and collagen deposition

Epidermal growth factor (EGF) promotes cell growth, proliferation, and survival in numerous tissues. Piperonylic acid, a metabolite present in peppers (Piper nigrum L. and Piper longum L.), can bind to the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and induce an intracellular signaling cascade leading...

description Epidermal growth factor (EGF) promotes cell growth, proliferation, and survival in numerous tissues.
