A bacterium found in the wound microbiome can accelerate healing ... a crucial process that occurs in the outer skin layer during the early stages of wound healing. They isolated keratinocytes, cells ...

First wearable device to monitor health by detecting gases emitted from and absorbed through the skin. Researchers at ...

Discover a study with has highlighted the potential of a novel silk elastin-based sponge as an effective wound treatment.

A non-contact wearable device measures the skin’s ‘microclimate’ for continuous, real-time monitoring of wounds and wound healing. Read the paper: A non-contact wearable device for ...

Commensal microbiota colonization of skin wounds shape CXCL10–bacterial DNA ... In some cases, the same microbes that promote healing can trigger disease if they overgrow or invade deeper ...

Not all zombie skin cells are the same. New research reveals three unique subtypes with different roles in aging and disease, ...

Caltech professor of medical engineering Wei Gao and his colleagues are envisioning a smart bandage of the future-a "lab on ...

Treatments that can cause slow wound healing include: Consuming alcohol in high amounts can negatively affect the way the skin repairs itself due to its ability to slow down skin cell production ...

To test this theory, they studied a type of skin cell called fibroblasts. Fibroblasts rush to a fresh wound and jump-start the healing process. In the study, twice as many fibroblasts fled to ...

When they destroyed a subset of these cells in mice, they observed slower post-injury healing in their skin and muscles, whereas wounds of mice with intact sensory neurons healed within an expected ...
