Formulation of Zinc-Based Nanomaterials using the Eucommia ulmoides Bark Extract and their Wound Healing Potential

Here, we present a protocol to synthesize the zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles using the polyisoprene-rich aqueous extract obtained from Eucommia ulmoides tree bark. The wound-healing potential exhibited by the synthesized ZnO nanoparticles on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) was evaluated using scratch assay, a simple, cost-effective, and efficient method.

Optimization of the Wound Scratch Assay to Detect Changes in Murine Mesenchymal Stromal Cell Migration After Damage by Soluble Cigarette Smoke Extract

The capacity to migrate is a key function of many different cell types, including mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). However, quantifying alterations in migratory capacity after damage is challenging. This protocol describes an easily adaptable migration assay that uses rigorous statistics to quantify changes in MSC migratory capacity after...
