A new molecule could change the way traditional materials work with the body

A self-powered bandage has been developed that generates an electric field over an injury

Wound healing can be complex and challenging, especially when a patient has other health obstacles

Currently, physicians remove burned skin and discard it. They add a collagen dressing to the burned site, and hope the new skin regrows before the patient gets a fatal infection

Biomaterial that solidifies at body temperature integrates into wounds to help cells grow

Formation of new blood vessels, a process also known as angiogenesis, is one of the major clinical challenges in wound healing and tissue implants

Adult stem cell program fades away after gut injury, replaced by fetal growth genes

Biodegradable bandages made from these fibers will accelerate the growth of tissue cells twice as quickly

The use of animal products is a significant clinical challenge due to potential zoonotic infections, which can be spread from animals to humans

A new study shows that a highly elastic and adhesive surgical sealant can effectively seal wounds in shape-shifting tissues without the need for common staples or sutures
