Scabs get a bad reputation because they’re dry, crusty, and inconvenient, but they are one of the body’s most effective ...

The innate immune response is known to impact early stages of wound repair, with the role of some sensory neurons, including nociceptors, established as immunoregulators. However, the extent of the ...

Injecting regulatory T cells or Tregs, which control the body’s immune responses, directly into damaged bone, muscle and skin significantly boosts healing, according to new research. The door is now ...

The skin and muscles frequently encounter injuries; while the skin forms a protective barrier against external insults, muscles can strain on stretching. 1,2 Both tissues possess an elaborate repair ...

New findings in The American Journal of Pathology, published by Elsevier, report that a class of small RNAs (microRNAs), microRNA-29, can restore normal skin structure rather than producing a wound ...

Wound healing is a response to tissue damage that relies on a complex series of signaling events. Cells such as mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), keratinocytes, and fibroblasts orchestrate the molecular ...

Scientists have uncovered a key step in the wound healing process that becomes disabled in diseases like diabetes and aging, contributing to a global healthcare cost of managing poorly healing wounds ...
