C24 Ceramide Lipid Nanoparticles for Skin Wound Healing.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: C24 ceramide plays a crucial role in skin regeneration and wound healing; however, its hydrophobic nature limits its application in therapeutic formulations. This study aims to enhance the bioavailability and efficacy of C24 ceramide by developing ceramide-based lipid nanoparticles (C24-LNP) and evaluate their impact on skin regeneration and wound healing. Methods: C24-LNP was synthesized and characterized for aqueous stability and bioavailability. In vitro experiments were conducted to assess its effects on keratinocyte proliferation and migration. Molecular biological analysis examined key signaling pathways, including AKT and ERK1/2 phosphorylation. Additionally, an in vivo mouse wound model was utilized to evaluate wound healing efficacy, with histo
