The Effects of Adiantum capillus-veneris on Wound Healing: An Experimental In Vitro Evaluation
Background: A lot of remedies, mostly plant based, were mentioned in the Persian old pharmacopoeias for promoting of burn and wound healing and tissue repairing. The efficacy of most of these old remedies is unexplored till now. Adiantum capillus-veneris from Adiantaceae family is one of them that w...
