When the skin is injured, a stem cell’s survival instincts kick in. New research reveals that a simple amino acid, serine, ...

Recently, Gonzales et al. found that the type of wound determines which population of stem cells contributes most robustly to healing. Small, deep wounds were found to repopulate from EpSCs and to ...

However, in burns, the blood vessels are cauterized, preventing blood from entering the wound bed and slowing down the healing process. Severe burn wounds also have large amounts of dead tissue ...

The wound-healing process involves coagulation, hemostasis, inflammation, cell proliferation and migration, and tissue remodeling. Any alteration to these processes can lead to delayed wound ...

A nanocellulose wound dressing that can reveal early signs of infection without interfering with the healing process has been developed by researchers at Linköping University, Sweden.

Brighton researchers are creating an injectable hydrogel to heal deep chronic wounds, as part of the €7.3m EU-funded ...

When injured, the human skin is repaired through a wound-healing process that forms fibrotic scar tissue. Scarring burdens patients at both the functional and esthetic levels, and scars in the ...
