Researchers identified Gomisin A, a compound in Schisandra chinensis, as the most promising active ingredient for healing diabetic skin wounds. When given to obese mice with diabetes (either orally or injected topically), Gomisin A improved wound healing—though the abstract cuts off before sharing the specific results.

Scientists used computer modeling to predict which compounds in Schisandra chinensis might help diabetic wounds, then tested the top candidate (Gomisin A) on mice with high-fat diet-induced diabetes to see if it actually worked.
