Chronic wounds place a heavy burden on health care systems because they require constant monitoring and frequent adjustments in treatment. Clinicians often struggle to detect infection early enough to intervene effectively, and most dressings are limited to either monitoring or […]
Chronic wounds often linger because they receive too little oxygen, heal slowly, and are highly susceptible to bacterial growth. These challenges are especially common in people with diabetes or limited mobility, whose impaired circulation makes even small sores difficult to

Researchers at Linköping University in Sweden have developed a promising new approach to treating severe burns and wounds using a living gel that can be injected or 3D-printed directly into damaged skin. Dubbed “skin in a syringe,” the technology combines
Injection-Ready Gel Offers New Hope for Healing Severe Burns Read More »
Researchers at the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology (SIAT), working with Ruijin Hospital, have developed an advanced wound dressing that could greatly improve healing for burn victims and trauma patients. It’s made from bacterial cellulose, a breathable and skin-friendly material, and enhanced with human-derived
Artificial blood has long been a biomedical moonshot—promising a scalable, donor-free solution to global shortages, but consistently stalling at the cellular level. Now, researchers at the University of Konstanz and Queen Mary University of London have uncovered a key molecular
