Heliyon · 2025 · animal
A polyacrylic acid/xanthan gum hydrogel made by free radical polymerization was optimized at 1% xanthan gum, giving enhanced swelling, mechanical strength and controlled release. In a rat excisional injury model it significantly improved wound contraction and healing rate versus controls, with good biocompatibility and non-toxicity.
International Journal of Biological Macromolecules · 2025 · animal
A vitamin E/olive oil nanoemulsion embedded in glycerol-crosslinked xanthan gum gave a stable, non-greasy nanoemulgel with sustained vitamin E release, occlusion that lowered transepidermal water loss by up to 33.3%, and a mean irritation score of 0. In a murine dry-skin model it raised moisture and reduced epidermal thickness and inflammatory infiltration.
