Silk Fibroin: Wound Healing from Bench to Bedside
Getting closer to the translation of silk fibroin for wound healing.
Porous silicon nanoparticles improve diabetic wound healing
Researchers from the University of South Australia reveal how they use non-toxic porous silicon nanoparticles (pSi NPs) for the controlled release of FnAb to diabetic wounds.
A Multiplexed Biosensor for Detecting Bacterial Infection in Chronic Wounds
Researchers have developed a biosensor to detect Sortase A (SrtA) in chronic wounds to assist in early diagnosis of infection.
How Polymers Can Heal Wounds
For the first time n-BG particles are used to investigate their haemostatic efficacy in wound healing applications.
Reviewing a Sticky Issue: Tissue Adhesives and Wound Sealants
Reviewing the development of tissue adhesives and sealants and examining the latest advances.
Hemostatic Materials: Anti-hemorrhagic Dressings for Wounds
A hemostatic material for field dressings in emergency wound treatment is made by layer-by-layer deposition of thrombin and tannic acid.
Gold nanoparticles help hydras regrow their heads
Gold nanoparticles and near-infrared light speed up regeneration and reproduction in hydras, providing insights for regenerative medicine.
A simple test detects post-surgery abdominal leaks
Enzymes embedded into a plastic strip enable the rapid, naked eye-detection of incompletely healed tissue following abdominal surgery.
Mushrooms could be the next big thing in energy storage
Scientists are using carbon filaments from mushrooms in supercapacitors, paving the way for a sustainable energy future.
