Discover research-backed methods to speed up healing after getting stitches. From optimal nutrition to proper wound care, these techniques minimize scarring.

The normal wound healing process involves a complex series of four overlapping but distinct steps. During the initial steps, platelets from the blood control bleeding by signaling the formation of ...

"Often, people may feel fairly normal by one month, but there is still underlying wound healing happening even if someone feels great. Thus, it is important to take things easy to avoid stressing ...

In a study published in Advanced Materials, a research team developed an innovative bacterial cellulose (BC)-based hemostatic ...

The study, which includes the first resource detailing the role of microRNAs in the wound-repair process, shows that aberrant levels of a trio of microRNAs may impair healing in venous ulcers.

The application of ADSC-Exos represents a promising therapeutic strategy for diabetic wound healing. By enhancing autophagy, ADSC-Exos improve the function of epidermal cells, facilitating rapid ...

A study in rat models of diabetes suggests that spinach extract — both water- and alcohol-based — may help promote wound healing, which occurs very slowly in people with diabetes.

Wound healing is a highly specialized dynamic process for the repair of damaged/injured tissues through an intricate mechanism. Any failure in the normal wound healing process results in abnormal scar ...

Disordered factors, including the over-accumulation of AGEs, ROS, and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), disrupt the normal wound-healing process. The pH of DWs is often alkaline, which promotes ...

A nanocellulose wound dressing that can reveal early signs of infection without interfering with the healing process has been developed by researchers at Linköping University, Sweden. Their study ...
