As aging populations and rising diabetes rates drive an increase in chronic wounds, more patients face the risk of ...

When nutrients run low, hair follicle stem cells can stop making hair and help repair the skin instead. A drop in the amino acid serine triggers this switch, accelerating wound healing.

Despite advancements in treating wounds, the molecular mechanisms behind wound healing is not fully understood. Now, researchers at the University of California, Irvine (UCI), have identified a new ...

Researchers have developed a battery-powered oxygen gel that accelerates the healing of chronic diabetic wounds ...

Chronic wounds often spiral out of control because oxygen can’t reach the deepest layers of injured tissue. A new gel developed at UC Riverside delivers a continuous flow of oxygen right where it’s ...

UCR researchers developed an electrochemical gel that generates oxygen for a month, healing diabetic wounds in mice in 23 days. This "smart" gel could prevent amputations and aid organ engineering.
