A new study revealed that combining a sugar derived from crab and shrimp shells with nanomaterials could enhance bone regeneration and wound healing.
North Carolina State University researchers have genetically engineered maggots to produce and then secrete a human growth factor which is known to help the wound healing process by stimulating cell growth and survival.
Scientists created a polymer sphere that delivers a molecule to bone wounds and the molecule instructs the injury's existing cells to repair itself.
Scientists at James Cook University discovered that cancer-causing parasite may accelerate wound healing in persons with severe diabetes, for instance.
