A novel protein therapy for efficient skin wound healing
A protein named Agrin has been discovered to promote wound healing and repair, when it is triggered after skin tissue is injured. These findings could pave the way for the development of Agrin protein therapy to accelerate skin tissue healing for chronic wounds from...
Effectiveness of ointment that kills antibiotic-resistant bacteria shown
Research from the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine shows that use of a topical drug, called AB569, a combination of acidified nitrite and EDTA (or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) promotes killing of antibiotic-resistant bacteria while enhancing the...
Researchers explore promising treatment for MRSA ‘superbug’
A new Cornell study has found the antimicrobial properties of certain stem cell proteins could offer a potential treatment to reduce infection in skin wounds. Treating wounds with the secretion of a type of stem cell effectively reduced the viability of...
Research uncovers new mechanism that promotes wound healing in skin
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 reepithelialization," the study...
