One of the challenges in treating burn victims is the frequency of dressing changes, which can be extremely painful. To bring relief to this and other problems, University of Waterloo researchers have ...

After an injury has occurred, a complex cascade of biological processes is initiated to support the repair and regeneration of lost or damaged tissue. Some of the different biological molecules ...

New research from Thomas Jefferson University describes a novel way to sample the cells found at wounds—by using discarded wound dressings. This non-invasive approach opens a window into the cellular ...

Chronic wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers can be very difficult to treat, potentially leading to amputations or even death due to associated infections. A new dressing, however, may be able to heal ...

Chronic wounds are a major medical challenge, burdening health care systems with billions of dollars in costs every year. Pioneer Fellow Börte Emiroglu is developing a new product: a selective, sponge ...

Schematic illustration of the various microenvironment-sensitive bioactive dressing strategies developed for DW management, based on their mechanisms of response, can be primarily categorized into ...

Once upon a time, even a simple cut or scrape could be a death sentence. Before germ theory and today’s scientific understanding of medicine, infections ran rampant and took many lives. While we’re ...

In a recent article published in Scientific Reports, researchers presented a composite wound dressing composed of polylactic acid (PLA), curcumin, and carbon nanotubes (CNTs), designed to improve ...
