CAD model of There Heal wearable device, illustrating the integrated camera for wound monitoring and actuator for drug delivery or stimulation. As a wound heals, it goes through several stages: ...

Researchers have developed a bioactive hydrogel ink containing macrophage-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) that enhances cutaneous wound healing and can be administered in situ using a 3D-printing ...

Chronic wounds are a major health problem for diabetic patients and the elderly -- in extreme cases they can even lead to amputation. Using electric stimulation, researchers have developed a method ...

New research shows that a certain bug, Alcaligenes faecalis (A. faecalis), can facilitate healing of hard-to-treat wounds among people with diabetes. While there are many studies done on potentially ...

A wound dressing made from a nanocellulose mesh detects early signs of infection in skin wounds by monitoring pH. A nanocellulose-based wound dressing has been developed by researchers at Linköping ...

When a simple cut takes weeks to heal or a minor scrape refuses to close properly, hidden factors may be sabotaging the body’s natural recovery process. Understanding these obstacles can mean the ...

A model of the a-Heal wearable device. As a wound heals, it goes through several stages: clotting to stop bleeding, immune system response, scabbing, and scarring. A wearable device called “a-Heal,” ...
