How stress slows wound healing
Stress can slow the healing of wounds such as cuts and grazes. But how? New evidence suggests an answer: stress lowers the production of some of the chemicals involved in the early stages of wound repair. These findings were reported today, Thursday 13 April, to The British Psychological Society's Annual Conference, held at the Guildhall,... view more... (2000-04-10)
It pays to quit smoking before surgery
People who start nicotine replacement therapy at least four weeks before surgery can halve their risk of poor wound healing. This is what the German Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (IQWiG) concludes in information published on informedhealthonline.org today. view more (2009-09-04)
Wound Healing - Discovery Of A New Therapeutic Strategy Against Hypertrophic Scarring
Wound healing appears generally a banal event, but in a certain proportion of cases it evolves inappropriately in hypertrophic scars resulting in skin and organ deformations. This is due to an excess of wound contraction, a phenomenon that generally helps to close the wound. Hypertrophic scarring is observed frequently in burned patients. For the... view more...

Gel that halves wound healing times wins Medical Futures award
A bio-active gel developed by UCL scientists that is capable of healing wounds in half the time it takes currently, has won the award for the Best Biotechnology Start-Up at the Medical Futures Innovation Awards in London. Nexagon works by speeding up the rate of wound closure and reducing inflammation, and the UCL team believes that the gel has a... view more... (2003-11-03)
Is transforming growth factor-beta involved in intestinal wound healing?
Migration of colonic lamina propria fibroblasts (CLPF) plays an important role during the progression of fibrosis and fistulae in Crohn's disease. Transforming growth factor- beta (TGF- beta) is involved in the regulation of cell migration, cell differentiation, extracellular matrix deposition, and immune responses. view more (2009-03-31)
Oxford Biomedical and Kiadis agree collaborative programme on wound healing
Oxford, United Kingdom and Leiden, The Netherlands. 28 January 2003 - Oxford BioMedica plc ('Oxford BioMedica') and Kiadis BV ('Kiadis') have agreed a joint programme directed, in the first instance, at wound healing. The global market for wound healing is estimated to be in excess of $1 billion. Oxford BioMedica has used its Focused Target... view more... (2003-01-28)
Licking your wounds: Scientists isolate compound in human saliva that speeds wound healing
A report by scientists from The Netherlands published online in The FASEB Journal (http://www.fasebj.org) identifies a compound in human saliva that greatly speeds wound healing. view more (2008-07-24)
Use of increasingly popular treatment for wound healing questioned
The effectiveness and value of an increasingly popular treatment used in the treatment of long term wounds are questioned in this month's Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin (DTB) view more (2007-07-31)
Probiotic Found to Be Effective Treatment for Colitis In Mice
The probiotic, Bacillus polyfermenticus, can help mice recover from colitis, a new study has found. view more (2009-10-26)
Mutation in deafness gene can help heal wounds and prevent infection
A mutation in a gene commonly associated with deafness can play an important part in improving wound healing. view more (2006-05-08)
New Dressing For Wounds Developed At Hebrew University Promises Faster And Improved Healing
A novel wound dressing made of genetically engineered human collagen that will enable faster and improved healing of injuries has been developed by researchers at the Hebrew University Faculty of Dental Medicine. Collagen is the most abundant protein in the animal kingdom, including humans. It is the major constituent of connective tissues -... view more... (2004-01-19)
Skin care: new research into scar-free healing
New research from the University of Bristol shows that by suppressing one of the genes that normally switches on in wound cells, wounds can heal faster and reduce scarring. This has major implications not just for wound victims but also for people who suffer organ tissue damage through illness or abdominal surgery. view more (2008-01-21)
Plastic surgeons warn of malnutrition in body contouring patients
Identifying malnutrition before surgery in massive weight loss patients seeking body contouring will significantly decrease surgical complications, accelerate wound healing, improve scar quality and boost patient energy levels, according to a study in the December issue of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. view more (2008-11-13)
GROWTH FACTOR HEALS WOUNDS
Russian physicians suggested a new way of wound treatment with substances released by the human or animal body itself. There is no way of wound treatment that would satisfy all surgeons. Doctors permanently define more precisely processes occurring in wound so the theory outruns the treatment techniques. Recently scientists have investigate the... view more... (2000-12-01)
Why passive smoking hinders healing
Being exposed to high levels of 'second-hand' smoke can reduce the speed at which wounds heal, leading to a lack of healing or greater levels of scarring. A study published in the journal BMC Cell Biology this week may begin to explain why: when cells are exposed to smoke, their ability to migrate towards the site of damage is compromised. The... view more... (2004-04-01)
Model for new generation of blood vessels challenged
In-growth and new generation of blood vessels, which must take place if a wound is to heal or a tumor is to grow, have been thought to occur through a branching and further growth of a vessel against a chemical gradient of growth factors. view more (2009-06-02)
Enriched environment improves wound healing in rats
Improving the environment in which rats are reared can significantly strengthen the physiological process of wound healing. view more (2009-05-13)
World first research to speed up cure for ear infections
Fast tracking the healing process for common ear infections will be the focus of ground-breaking research by WA's Lions Ear and Hearing Institute (LEHI). view more (2006-04-19)
New approach to wound healing may be easy on skin, but hard on bacteria
In a presentation today (Aug. 19) to the American Chemical Society meeting, Ankit Agarwal, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, described an experimental approach to wound healing that could take advantage of silver's anti-bacterial properties, while sidestepping the damage silver can cause to cells needed for healing. view more (2009-08-19)
Immune cells known as macrophages linked to growth of lymph vessels in eyes, scientists discover
Scientists at Schepens Eye Research Institute have discovered that a particular immune cell contributes to the growth of new lymph vessels, which aid in healing. This cell, known as a macrophage, is called in by the body during the wound healing process. view more (2005-09-02)
