EWMA: Presentation of the results of work we conducted for URGO laboratories
Preclinical research carried out in a rat skin healing model that has shown the efficacy of a sucrose octasulfate dressing (UrgoStart) will be presented at the EWMA Digital Congress - 18 and 19 November 2020. We were able to show that the accelerated healing achieved by use of the innovative UrgoStart dressings was linked to faster and denser reconstruction of the local vascular network, in comparison with control conditions in rats. These results, invaluable for URGO laboratories, have made it possible

New atopic dermatitis mouse model for in vivo efficacy studies Atopic dermatitis is a chronic allergic disease of the skin characterized by pruritus and eczematous skin lesions. It affects about 10 million people in the world, leading to a significant reduction in quality of life, and its incidence is continuously increasing in westernized countries. The pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis is unknown, but the disease seems to be correlated with specific immune and inflammatory mechanisms and keratinocytes, which are the main
Oral and Topical Administration of ROQUETTE Schizochytrium sp. Alleviate Skin Inflammation and Improve Wound Healing in Mice.
The human body is constantly exposed to the risk of traumatic lesions. ROQUETTE Schizochytrium sp. (SCs) is a marine microalgae containing large amounts of health-valuable nutrients, more particularly polyunsaturated fatty acids such as docosahexaenoic acid. SCs was investigated by oral administration (125, 250 and 500 mg/kg) and cutaneous application (2.5, 5.0 and 10.0%) to evaluate its impact in two dermatological disorder models in mice: skin inflammation and wound healing. For skin inflammation, it was administered during 14 days starting one
