From silver nanofibers to smart, sensory-packed dressings, the next generation of wound-healing technology is blurring the line between biology and engineering. A new review has looked at what’s ...

When the skin is injured, a stem cell’s survival instincts kick in. New research reveals that a simple amino acid, serine, helps push stem cells to abandon hair growth in favor of wound healing, ...

Epithelial cells line the body’s surfaces to protect against physical damage, pathogens, and dehydration. These cells play key roles in absorbing nutrients and removing waste products, as well as ...

Inflammation is the body’s natural response to injury and infections. It promotes healing through immune cell activation to target bacteria and other infections, but also allows for tissue repair.

Wound management faces persistent challenges including bacterial infections, tissue adhesion, and impaired vascularization. Conventional gauzes provide limited protection, while silver-based ...

The cells in our bodies move in groups during biological processes such as wound healing and tissue development - but because of resistance, or viscosity, those cells can't just neatly glide past each ...
