Chronic wounds are a major health problem for diabetic patients and the elderly -- in extreme cases they can even lead to amputation. Using electric stimulation, researchers have developed a method ...

Researchers create a biomimetic model to study wound healing in burn and laceration wounds. The team designed an in vitro model system made of fibroblasts embedded in a collagen hydrogel. Wounds were ...

Wound healing is a complex process that involves multiple cell types and biological pathways. As it is a time-delayed process, dressing materials can protect the wound from external hazards in the ...

The increasing prevalence of diabetes worldwide has led to a rise in diabetic wounds, such as diabetic foot ulcers, which are challenging to treat and can result in amputation. Traditional treatments ...

When you’ve had a wound that required stitches, the recovery period can feel frustratingly slow. Whether from surgery, an accident, or another injury, properly cared for stitches not only heal faster ...
