ELISA evaluation of (a) MMP-2 and (b) TGF-β1 levels in human skin fibroblasts (BJ cell line), epidermal keratinocytes (HEK001 cell line), and macrophages (derived from THP-1 cell line) cultured in the presence of biomaterials (control–cells culture in the inserts without biomaterial); * statistically significant results between indicated groups, p < 0.05, one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s test (Mat1: curdlan/agarose biomaterial, Mat2: curdlan/chitosan biomaterial, C–vitamin C, H–hydrocortisone, C/H–mixture of vitamin C and hydrocortisone, ND–not detected).
