In vitro wound healing has been established using human skin fibroblast cells. In our previous
In vitro wound healing has been established using human skin fibroblast
study, Centella asiatica contains the active compound asiaticoside, which is an active compound in
cells. In our previous study, Centella asiatica contains the active
wound healing in Human Dermal Fibroblast (HDF) and Human Dermal Keratinocyte (HaCaT) (Aziz

in Human Dermal Fibroblast (HDF) and Human Dermal Keratinocyte
healing by observing cell migration under a microscope (Figure 18) (Azis et al., 2015). A thorough
description of our study on C. asiatica is described in further sections.
