A Simple Way to Increase Efficacy in Wound Healing - Communalnews.com
Treatment of acute and chronic wounds is sometimes challenging. Patients with metabolic syndrome, including insulin resistance, obesity or high blood pressure, and malnutrition may find their bodies are unable to adequately heal without additional help. While it may seem counterintuitive, patient who are obese may also be malnourished, as many times they are gaining weight eating processed, junk food filled with empty calories.

Researchers create cellulose membranes to eliminate wound infection - Iwoundnews.com
Researchers claim to have developed cellulose membranes that eliminate wound infections early on, as they look to tackle the issues of increased antibiotic resistance. If germs invade a wound, they can trigger a long-lasting infection that may fail to heal or even spread throughout the body, leading to life-threatening blood poisoning (sepsis). However, the problem of antibiotic resistance is becoming more and more widespread, particularly in complex wounds, as bacteria such as staphylococci have become resistant to this treatment.

MicroRNA-184 negatively regulates corneal epithelial wound healing via targeting CDC25A, CARM1, and LASP1 - Biomedcentral.com
Article by Qiongjie Cao, Weiwei Xu, Weiwei Chen, Dewei Peng, Qi Liu, Jing Dong, Peter S. Reinach and Dongsheng Yan (Zhejiang, China - Eye and Vision).
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play critical roles in corneal development and functional homeostasis. The authors' previous study identified miR-184 as one of the most highly expressed miRNAs in the corneal epithelium. Even though its expression level plummeted dramatically during corneal epithelial wound healing (CEWH), its precise role in mediating corneal epithelial renewal was unresolved.
