"Unveiling the Medical Potential of Shark Skin: A Unique and Sharp Discovery"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Phys.org
Researchers from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have conducted research on shark skin to understand its unique biochemistry and potential biomedical applications. The study found that shark skin has a thin mucus layer that is chemically different from that of other fish species. The mucus is more similar to mammalian mucus, including human mucus, and may have implications for wound care treatments. Further research is being conducted to explore the healing abilities of shark skin and its potential for developing new medical products.
