Such non-healing wounds could cause serious infections...
by Jane Icke, University of Nottingham Credit: University of Nottingham Scientists have discovered a new material that can be applied to diabetic wounds to heal them faster with just one application. Researchers from the University of Nottingham have discovered a new class of polymer that can provide instructions to both immune and non-immune cells to...
by Indiana University School of Medicine Graphical abstract. Credit: Molecular Therapy (2022). DOI: 10.1016/j.ymthe.2022.09.002 Researchers at Indiana University School of Medicine are looking for ways to heal wounds by using a healing protein that is active in fetuses, but largely inactive in adults and absent in diabetic adults. “We already know from previous studies at other institutions...
Researchers at the Lomonosov Moscow State University used a mouse model of a mitochondria-targeted antioxidant to study treatment of diabetic wounds, and are publishing their results in the journal Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity. Wound healing is usually compromised in diabetes mellitus type II. Patients often suffer from skin damage on their feet—so-called diabetic foot ulcers. These wounds are...
