In surgical tissue recovery, focus is on controlling infection, managing inflammation, and ensuring wound closure. Beneath the surface—anatomically and biologically— the extracellular matrix (ECM) is undergoing remodeling ensure long-term tissue integrity. ...
This ability is particularly beneficial in transplant medicine, where Wharton’s jelly cells could help prevent rejection by the recipient’s immune system. Wound Healing: Studies suggest that the application of Wharton’s jelly in chronic wounds can promote healing and tissue regeneration. The growth factors and cytokines present ...
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 ...
Consequently, prolidase deficiency has been linked to various medical conditions, including skin disorders, chronic wounds, and certain genetic disorders. In the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical sectors, Native Porcine Prolidase is used as a dietary supplement to support skin health, wound healing, and collagen synthesis. ...
It can also actively influence the wound healing process through debridement, thereby creating a microenvironment that promotes wound healing. ...
Further animal experiments showed that the natural adhesive d-SMG promoted the healing of acute skin injuries and diabetic chronic wounds, and the effect was better than alginate dressings widely used in clinical practice. Analysis of tissue staining and immunohistochemistry showed that the natural hydrogel significantly accelerated the granulation tissue ...
Healing rate: 25.3 mm2/day. Healing time: 33 days. Wound size: 38 × 22 × 8 mm. Age of wound when treatment started: > 1 year. ...
In this current Covid-19 climate that we are living in, we are all facing challenges that we have never dealt with before. Individuals with chronic wounds (diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, venous ulcers, arterial ulcers, etc.) commonly have other chronic conditions – typically type 2 diabetes, hypertension, venous insufficiency, ...
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). ...
Soft tissue regeneration company Aroa Biosurgery Limited (ASX:ARX, ‘AROA or the ‘Company’) has gained further clinical evidence for the efficacy of Myriad Matrix™ in the surgical reconstruction of complex wounds caused by recurrent and chronic Pilonidal Sinus Disease (PSD). ...
Damage to tissues can result from injuries like burns or wounds, or chronic illnesses like cancer or diabetes. In the body, cells that make up tissues are connected by a matrix, which provides a scaffold support and facilitates cell communication and nutrient exchanges. ...
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 ...
In a recent blog post, BioLargo elaborated on this potential: With the cost of chronic wound care rising, efforts are underway to improve prevention, early detection and treatment, as WSJ reports in today’s special report on innovation in health care. ...
