Schematic of self-assembled nanomaterials on skin wounds

Self-Assembled Nanomaterials for Chronic Skin Wound Healing

Posted on by skin_challenges
Chronic wounds can be caused by several underlying molecular and cellular pathophysiological mechanisms, including poor vascularization, excessive extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation by proteases, decreased growth factor activity, and bacterial infection. More effective wound therapies need to address one or more of these mechanisms to significantly advance wound care. Self-assembled nanomaterials may provide new therapeutic options…

Defense or repair: How immune cells are controlled during wound healing

Posted on by skin_challenges
A Cologne-based research team has discovered that the metabolism of mitochondria, the energy suppliers of cells, in macrophages coordinate wound healing to a significant degree. Macrophages belong to the white blood cells and are also known as scavenger cells. Professor Dr. Sabine Eming and her collaborators and colleagues at the CECAD Cluster of Excellence for…

Research Uncovers New Mechanism that Promotes Wound Healing in Skin

Posted on by skin_challenges
A University of California, Irvine-led study identifies a new molecular pathway that promotes the healing of wounds in the skin. Titled, “GRHL3 activates FSCN1 to relax cell-cell adhesions between migrating keratinocytes during wound re-epithelialization,” the study was published in JCI Insight. The molecular pathway identified is controlled by an evolutionary conserved gene called a Grainyhead…
