Skin Repair Delivery

Skin Repair Delivery

Cauliflower mushroom (Sparassis crispa) produces nano-sized vesicles (50–200 nm) that carry bioactive compounds directly into cells. These compounds increased collagen gene expression (COL1A1) in a dose-dependent manner and showed binding strength, supporting improved skin repair, collagen production, and more efficient delivery of functional compounds.
