Healing chronic skin wounds can be difficult, particularly when they span large areas, or when healing is complicated by health problems such as a lack of mobility. A team of researchers from the ...

A new antibacterial wound dressing is designed to get around that problem, by using proteins instead of conventional antibiotics. The experimental hydrogel skin patch is being developed at Sweden's ...

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 ...

The ability to modify their physicochemical properties means wound healing can be optimized using bioactive hydrogels, an application that has been further explored in the past decade. This is seen as ...

To create a new wound-care gel, researchers used a common hydrogel, Gel-MA, and created several combinations infused with platelet-rich blood plasma (PRP) and polylysine (PL). To test the gel’s ...

Patients suffering from burn injuries, skin ulcers and bed sores can find relief using unique jelly-like materials — hydrogels — that are playing an increasingly vital role in the healing process of ...

Biomedical engineer advances sustainable wound care by converting chicken feather waste into biocompatible hydrogel ...

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Izun Pharmaceuticals Corporation (“Izun”, “Company”, izunpharma.com), a clinical stage company focused on developing high efficacy products based on pharmaceutical compounds ...

A hydrogel is a polymeric material capable of holding large amounts of water in its 3-D structural network. Because it acts as the gel equivalent of a sponge, hydrogels are ideal for delivering ...

The active adhesive dressing (AAD) contracts when it heats up to body temperature, allowing it to accelerate the healing of open wounds on the skin. Credit: Wyss Institute at Harvard University A new ...
