Plantago lanceolata L. water extract induces transition of fibroblasts into myofibroblasts and increases tensile strength of healing skin wounds
Abstract
Plantago lanceolata water extract, traditionally used to stimulate wound healing, was applied to skin wounds in rats. Treated wounds contained more myofibroblasts, showed significantly higher contraction rates and increased tensile strength due to better-organised collagen, demonstrating that ribwort plantain improves skin wound healing.
