Cell migration is a multistep process essential to various physiological functions, including immune cell movement and embryonic development, as well as pathological conditions like tumor metastasis.

Chronic wounds, particularly those in diabetic patients, present major therapeutic challenges due to impaired tissue regeneration and extracellular matrix (ECM) dysregulation. This study explores how ...

Epithelial cells line the body’s surfaces to protect against physical damage, pathogens, and dehydration. These cells play key roles in absorbing nutrients and removing waste products, as well as ...

A new study from Karolinska Institutet maps the cellular and molecular dynamics of human wound healing in exceptional detail. The study was published in Cell Stem Cell. Self-healing of wounds is vital ...

Mechano-Growth Factor (MGF), often referred to as the IGF-1 Ec isoform (or IGF-1 Eb), is a splice variant of the insulin-like ...

Inflammation is the body’s natural response to injury and infections. It promotes healing through immune cell activation to target bacteria and other infections, but also allows for tissue repair.

A model of the a-Heal wearable device. As a wound heals, it goes through several stages: clotting to stop bleeding, immune system response, scabbing, and scarring. A wearable device called “a-Heal,” ...

Chronic wounds, especially those caused by diabetes, are notoriously difficult to heal. These wounds are characterized by prolonged inflammation, impaired collagen production, and poor tissue ...

In a recent Nature Reviews Microbiology study, researchers review how the wound microbiota interferes with skin repair processes and facilitates infection onset by modulating host immune responses.
