Hydrogels are popular for use in skin ailments and tissue engineering. These polymer-based biocompatible materials are useful ...

which merely provide a protective barrier against the external environment and do not actively promote wound healing. Here, we will describe three recent hydrogel technologies with novel concepts to ...

In an attempt to mitigate these risks, two researchers in Japan have developed a unique form of injectable collagen gel that could be an effective dressing for gastrointestinal wounds 1 ...

Mangaluru: Researchers at NITK, Surathkal, have developed a groundbreaking pH-sensitive hydrogel for treating wounds that take longer to heal.

Dry tissue also tends to necrose and encourage the growth of bacteria. Once the wound is cleansed, a hydrogel or hydrocolloidal wound dressing should be applied over the entire ulcer (Table 1).

A new hydrogel material combines the characteristics of biological tissues with the electronic functionalities of semiconductors ...

Fibroblasts are the most common cell type in connective tissue. They can be compared to 'nature's stitches', holding together ...
