This summer, over 50 researchers in the NSF EMBRIO Institute convened to share their newest findings on cellular signaling and organization that drives wound repair, cellular defense, and organismal ...

A preclinical study in mice and human tissue has uncovered a molecular pathway that may help to explain why wounds inside the mouth can heal quickly and without scars. The researchers, co-led by teams ...

Chronic wounds that refuse to close are one of modern medicine’s most stubborn and expensive problems, leaving patients at risk of infection, amputation, and long hospital stays. Researchers are now ...

This image illustrates the immunomodulation of chronic wounds through various therapeutic approaches aimed at regulating the immune response to promote healing. Chronic wounds exhibit persistent ...

The upregulation of PCSK9 expression in endothelial cells of diabetic patients induces ubiquitination of VEGFR2 and inhibits the VEGFR2/ AKT/eNOS -ERK signaling pathway by promoting the interaction of ...

When the skin is injured, a stem cell’s survival instincts kick in. New research reveals that a simple amino acid, serine, helps push stem cells to abandon hair growth in favor of wound healing, ...

Researchers at the University of Arizona uncovered a previously unknown population of circulating immune cells that play a critical role in fibrosis, the buildup of scar tissue that can lead to organ ...

Tweaking a pattern of wound healing established millions of years ago may enable scar-free injury repair after surgery or trauma, Stanford Medicine researchers have found. If results from their study, ...

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 ...

Injecting regulatory T cells or Tregs, which control the body’s immune responses, directly into damaged bone, muscle and skin significantly boosts healing, according to new research. The door is now ...
