The flower and
leaf parts of the Echium italicum plant used in the study have been used in many studies, but no information has been found
in the literature about the use of the root part in increasing cell viability and wound healing treatment. In this study, the effects
of Echium italicum , one of the Echium species naturally growing in our country, on cell viability and wound healing were
investigated in vitro. Extracts prepared with different polarity solvents from the root and aerial parts of the plant were applied
to the human dermal fibroblast (HDF) cell line to evaluate their effect on cell viability and wound healing potential. Cell viability
was determined with the CVDK-8 method, and the wound healing activity of the plant was determined with the scratch assay.
In summary, the effects of the Echium italicum root extract on wound healing were examined, and the medicinal properties of
the plant suggested in traditional medicine were scientifically evaluated.}, number={2}, publisher={Erzurum Technical University}, organization={Tübitak}
