• Abstract:

  Papain is a proteolytic enzyme extracted from the latex of green papaya leaves and fruits. It has been widely used as debridant for scars and wound healing agent. However, papain cytotoxicity evaluation is still required once it is widely used. This study intends to show how papain acts in four different cell lines. Human keratynocytes (HK),..
