Human umbilical cord cells, particularly those found in Wharton’s jelly, have emerged as a focal point in regenerative medicine and cellular therapy. Wharton’s jelly is a gelatinous substance that surrounds the umbilical cord’s blood vessels, providing structural support and protection. It is rich in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which are known for their unique regenerative ...
What is biofilm? Biofilms are defined as communities of micro-organisms attached to a surface, or one another, and encased within a matrix of extracellular polymeric substance (EPS). The EPS makes up the largest component of the biofilm, and in the biological environment is generally composed of polysaccharides, proteins, glycolipids, blood products, cellular debris, extracellular enzymes, metal ...
Enzymes are the fundamental building blocks of life, playing crucial roles in countless biological processes. One such remarkable enzyme is Native Porcine Prolidase, which has garnered significant attention in the scientific community due to its unique properties and diverse applications. In this article, we will delve into the intricacies of this remarkable enzyme, exploring its structure, ...
Nanotechnology has not only received attention and applications in the field of drug delivery, but also has achieved many successes in the field of tissue engineering. Nano dressings can be defined as dressings in which nanomaterials are the matrix. The birth of nano dressings has brought new treatment methods for wound repair and burn care, such as nanohydrogels, nanofibers, nanomembranes, ...
Hundreds of millions of people suffer skin tissue damage every year, including accidental injury, surgical injury, chronic ulcer, etc., and severe cases may lead to amputation or even life-threatening. Suturing is currently the preferred method for clinically closing wounds. However, wound suturing takes a long time during the operation, and removing the stitches will cause secondary damage to ...
Healing rate: 25.3 mm2/day. Healing time: 33 days. Wound size: 38 × 22 × 8 mm. Age of wound when treatment started: > 1 year. Subject: 52/male. Insulin dependent diabetic, peripheral neuropathy, hypertension, renal failure on hemodialysis; history of chronic foot ...
As we begin this New Year we have an opportunity to begin with a fresh start as we pursue our passion to promote and speed the healing of wounds! Our role as Wound Care Clinicians has risen to a whole new level of essential care for an extremely high risk population. In this current Covid-19 climate that we are living in, we are all facing challenges that we have never dealt with before. ...
SFM has been producing alginate products since the early 1980’s and still to this day alginates are an important product for our business. Alginate dressings are classed as ‘advanced wound care’, a label that up until now I have strongly disagreed with. How can a relatively simple dressing be thought of as ‘advanced’ in the current market? With newer ...
Highlights A retrospective analysis of real-world data published in the ‘International Wound Journal’ compared the wound closure times for diabetic foot ulcers treated with either Endoform™ Natural (1150 wounds) or collagen/ORC (1072 wounds). The data was analyzed to evaluate the median time for wound closure, percentage of wounds healed at 12-,24- and 36- weeks and ...
Highlights • AROA’s Myriad Matrix™ is further validated in a clinical study and peer-reviewed publication in Journal of Wound Care. • Study of six patients shows 100% success rates from use of Myriad Matrix™ as an implant during surgical reconstruction of soft tissues affected by Pilonidal Sinus Disease (PSD). • All patients healed well with no major complications ...
The new line of cellQART cell culture inserts, offered by Sterlitech, have important applications in medical science. Cell culture inserts have been used widely in tissue engineering because they allow access to both sides of the membrane. Each insert is designed to fit inside the well of a culture plate, making it more effective for growing 3D tissue layers than seeding cells directly on the ...
Why do we need new cell contenders in the CAR field? Well, different CAR immune cells have different advantages and sometimes unique challenges or limitations. So, we began our discussion of alternative CAR-cell types with CAR-NK cells due to their current standing as the most popular alternative CAR-based therapy. However, the expansion of CARs to other cell types has already begun and ...
