How does the skin respond to damage? Acute skin injury requires a healthy microenvironment for proper healing; however, the presence of reactive oxygen species (ROS) prevents this recovery. Melanin, ...

Millions of people around the world live with wounds that simply won’t heal. These long-lasting wounds, often caused by ...

Chronic wounds (CWs), like diabetic ulcers or pressure sores, are a major health care challenge, especially in the elderly.

Polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) is emerging as a promising bioactive molecule in the fields of wound healing and tissue regeneration. Derived primarily from DNA fragments, PDRN exerts its therapeutic ...

This image illustrates the immunomodulation of chronic wounds through various therapeutic approaches aimed at regulating the immune response to promote healing. Chronic wounds exhibit persistent ...

The phenomenon of regeneration was discovered over 200 years ago in the freshwater polyp Hydra. Until now, however, it was largely unclear how the orderly regeneration of lost tissues or organs is ...

A team of researchers from China has made a significant breakthrough in biomedical engineering by developing a novel adhesive that promises to revolutionize wound management and tissue repair. The ...

MC1R is best known for something quite different from wound healing: the gene is responsible for red hair and very fair skin.

This next story reveals another of the wonders of electric power. A scientist in Wisconsin invented an electrical bandage, which speeds up the time it takes a wound to heal. This same approach, we're ...
