"Hydrogel dressings for timely and healthy burn wound healing have been around for years, but they are far from ideal and represent an area of intense investigation by scientists and bioengineers," ...

Biomedical engineer advances sustainable wound care by converting chicken feather waste into biocompatible hydrogel dressings with healing-promoting properties. NEW ...

Chronic wounds are a major medical challenge, burdening health care systems with billions of dollars in costs every year. Pioneer Fellow Börte Emiroglu is developing a new product: a selective, sponge ...

Diabetic wounds often become chronically infected and are notoriously difficult to treat. Two primary reasons for this include the formation of a bacterial biofilm and high levels of oxidative stress.

An effective treatment for chronic wounds that does not involve antibiotics, but an ionized gas to activate a wound dressing, has been developed by a team of international scientists. The treatment ...

The hydrogel dressing killed MRSA through membrane disruption by carbonized polymer dots while MXene nanosheets provided antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. In a diabetic mouse model with ...

Hydrogels are primarily water in an inert matrix (sheet hydrogel) or gel form. Water is bound within a cross-linked, hydrophyllic fiber matrix in the sheet form. The amorphous form is either a ...

Chronic wounds in people with diabetes are the leading cause of nontraumatic lower limb amputation because existing treatments cannot overcome the obstacles to healing, such as chronic inflammation, ...
