Wounds and Healing

Scientists have discovered a new material that can be applied to diabetic wounds to heal them faster with just one application. 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 aid healing in hard-to-treat diabetic wounds. The findings have been published in Advanced Materials. Wound healing is a complex biological process that involves various cell types working together, with a cell type called fibroblasts playing a critical role in forming new tissue required for healing. Diabetes can disrupt these processes in cells making wound healing slow an...
