Efficacy of Silk Sericin and Jasminum grandiflorum L. Leaf Extract on Skin Injuries Induced by Burn in Mice.

This article investigates the wound healing effects of sericin, a natural protein from the silkworm Bombyx mori L., and Jasminum grandiflorum L. leaf extract on burn injuries in mice. The study found that topical application of a 4% sericin and jasmine leaf extract mixture significantly improved wound contraction, accelerated epidermal restoration, and enhanced granulation tissue formation compared to controls and individual treatments. Histological analysis confirmed better epithelialization and reduced inflammation in the combined treatment group, indicating its potential as a biocompatible and effective natural biomaterial for burn wound management. The research supports the use of sericin and J. grandiflorum as safe topical agents that promote skin regeneration without adverse effects.
