As aging populations and rising diabetes rates drive an increase in chronic wounds, more patients face the risk of ...

A new hydrogel formulation restores blood flow to diabetic wounds and helps them heal. The corresponding study was published in Burns & Trauma and may allow diabetic wounds to heal in days instead of ...

Scar tissue is an effective short-term solution to quickly patch up wounded skin, but it’s not so great long-term. Now, researchers at Duke University and UCLA have created a new hydrogel that can ...

Diabetes is a global epidemic, and its complications—particularly chronic wounds—are both debilitating and costly. A large percentage of diabetic patients suffer from wounds that refuse to heal, often ...

For explosion wounds as well as some incurred in disasters and accidents, severe hemorrhage is a leading cause of death. Hydrogel dressings, which have advanced in recent years, may help; they are ...

A responsive hydrogel delivers RNA therapy to diabetic wounds, reducing tissue breakdown and inflammation by releasing treatment in sync with the wound's chemical signals. (Nanowerk Spotlight) A small ...

Researchers at Duke University and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), have developed a hydrogel-based biomaterial that, when applied to wounds, triggers a regenerative immune response ...

Pairing esmolol hydrochloride topical gel treatment with standard wound care resulted in significantly greater diabetic foot wound closure compared to standard wound care alone, the results of a ...

A novel ε-poly-L-lysine-loaded sodium-alginate/gelatin hydrogel (PSG15) has shown exceptional promise in accelerating the healing of infected wounds. This multifunctional injectable hydrogel delivers ...

In APL Bioengineering, by AIP Publishing, researchers from the Southern University of Science and Technology in China examine the advances in hydrogel dressings in recent years, which are good at ...
