For a person with diabetes, every wound is a potential health concern. Ignoring a cut or not treating it the right way can slow healing, lead to infection and, in the worst cases, result in amputation ...

When a wound on the skin creates a gap, the epithelial cells of the skin, surrounding the wound, move in a concerted fashion to close this gap. The boundaries of these gaps can have different ...

A multi-faceted device for effectively treating deep, non-compressible, and irregularly-shaped wounds has been engineered by the scientists at the Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation (TIBI).

For explosion wounds as well as some incurred in disasters and accidents, severe hemorrhage is a leading cause of death. Hydrogel dressings, which have advanced in recent years, may help; they are ...

Wavy wounds heal faster than straight wounds because shapes influence cell movements, a team of researchers at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) study has found. Using ...

Time-lapse phase-contrast images showing different wound-healing stages of the engineered synthetic wounds with a width of 30 micrometres. Cells around wavy gaps formed bridges (highlighted in bright ...
