The latter are reportedly good for skin regeneration but their isolation from skin is limited.
Here, the team treated human dermal fibroblasts with GS callus extract, of which shikimic acid is a major component. The acid induced nestin expression, fibronectin and vimentin and the fibroblasts could differentiate. Subsequently, it was confirmed to facilitate wound healing and enhance dermal reconstruction in a human
