Popis:	Epidermal growth factor (EGF) is required for various regulations of skin tissue including wound healing; however, it has limited stability due to the physicochemical conditions of the wound milieu. The lack of functional EGF within the wound can cause permanent tissue defects and therefore, current wound patch designs involve EGF-releasing components. Consequently, the focus of such systems is to improve the wound healing mechanism, with minimal attention on melanogenesis of the scar tissue. The present study investigates
