This Scientific Reports Collection welcomes original research on Wound closure and healing. Narrative review articles are also welcomed, to our sister journal Scientific Reviews. For further ...

Although studies have suggested that proper wound irrigation with tap water or normal saline is associated with reduced rates of infection, not much is known about the impact of other factors leading ...

A model of the a-Heal wearable device. As a wound heals, it goes through several stages: clotting to stop bleeding, immune system response, scabbing, and scarring. A wearable device called “a-Heal,” ...

Researchers at the Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation and the University of Arizona College of Medicine have developed a topical gel formulation with 4-aminopyridine (4-AP), to treat burn ...

A new gel-based treatment could change the way diabetic wounds heal. By combining tiny healing messengers called vesicles with a special hydrogel, scientists have created a dressing that restores ...

Researchers in Taiwan have developed a cell-free extracellular matrix material from axolotl skin that helped mouse burn wounds close faster and show signs of reduced fibrotic scarring. The findings ...
