PAINTing a Wound-Healing Ink Into Cuts With a 3D-Printing Pen

The body is pretty good at healing itself, though more severe wounds can require bandages or stitches. But researchers have now developed a wound-healing ink that can actively encourage the body to heal by exposing the cut to immune-system vesicles. The ink can be spread into a cut of any shape ...

New Type of Drug Candidate Effectively Accelerates Wound Healing in Clinical Study

Complicated, hard-to-heal wounds are a growing medical problem and there are currently only two drugs approved with proven efficacy. In a new study on humans, researchers show that treatment with a specific type of modified lactic acid bacteria ...

Breaking Through Bacterial Barriers in Chronic Treatment-Resistant Wounds

Using a new strategy, researchers were able to reduce the challenging MRSA infection in the wounds of diabetic mice by 94%. They were able to completely sterilize the wounds in several of the mice, and the rest had significantly reduced bacterial ...

Engineers Design Sutures That Can Deliver Drugs or Sense Inflammation

Engineers have designed tissue-derived 'smart' sutures that can not only hold tissue in place, but also detect inflammation and release drugs. The sutures are coated with hydrogels that can be embedded with sensors, drugs, or cells that release therapeutic ...
