Anti-inflammatory and wound healing potential of Alternanthera sessilis (L.) R.Br. ex DC.’s stem extract using in vitro approach

Impaired wound healing, especially among the diabetic patients has become a major health problem and it is even more frightening with the tremendous increase in the prevalence of diabetic population worldwide. Factors such as the generation of a high amount of oxidative stress and prolonged inflamma...
