Discover a groundbreaking treatment for gastrointestinal wounds with a new acid-resistant hydrogel developed by PolyU ...

A defining characteristic of all cells is the plasma membrane, a thin layer of lipids that separates the interior of the cell from the outside environment. The plasma membrane is supported by the ...

Research carried out by the RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences has revealed new information about how blood clots are formed during wound healing. The study “Platelets drive fibronectin ...

Wound repair is an essential component of life. Without it any minor cuts or scrapes could be extremely damaging or even lethal. Paper cuts are bad enough already without having to consider them ...

Wound healing and tumorigenesis are two processes that rely on similar molecular mechanisms. Repair of tissue injury is a self-limiting process; whereas, tumour formation is characterized by the ...

The study is the first to identify a damage response pathway that is distinct from but parallel to the classical pathway triggered by pathogens. It's a dangerous world out there. From bacteria and ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have designed a regenerative medicine therapy to speed up diabetic wound repair. Using tiny fat particles loaded with genetic instructions to ...

An international team led by Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine has discovered novel properties of the protein Gasdermin B that promotes repair of cells lining the gastrointestinal ...

The active adhesive dressing (AAD) contracts when it heats up to body temperature, allowing it to accelerate the healing of open wounds on the skin. Credit: Wyss Institute at Harvard University A new ...

Scientists have found a new way to protect stem cells from harsh inflammation during wound repair. Researchers have discovered that treating mice with a common anti-inflammatory drug called celecoxib ...

Wounds in the mouth heal with lightning speed compared to those in the skin. Now researchers have found that cells in the oral cavity are primed and ready for repair with key molecules set to go at ...
