Scientists at the University of California-Davis say they used a bioengineered scaffold made up of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) combined with timolol, a drug commonly used to treat glaucoma, to ...

The epithelial cancer biomarker SerpinB3 also plays a role in wound healing, and could inspire new therapeutics.

Chronic wounds that refuse to close are one of modern medicine’s most stubborn and expensive problems, leaving patients at risk of infection, amputation, and long hospital stays. Researchers are now ...

About one-fourth of people with diabetes develop painful foot ulcers, which are slow to heal due to low oxygen in the wound from impaired blood vessels and increased inflammation. These wounds can ...

Researchers examined skin regeneration over two years in various body parts of the adult newt, Cynops pyrrhogaster. Their wounds were very quickly healed over several days without prolonged ...

Abstract: Non-healing skin wounds inflict nearly 5 million Americans each year, and translate into multi-billion dollar healthcare costs. Tissue engineering approaches using cell-based dermal, ...

Chronic wounds affect millions of Americans annually. These wounds include painful ulcers on the foot, leg and beyond. People with diabetes, who have enough on their plate, often suffer from these ...

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 ...
