A nanocellulose wound dressing that can reveal early signs of infection without interfering with the healing process has been developed. A nanocellulose wound dressing that can reveal early signs of ...

It's ironic that in order to check if a wound is becoming infected, doctors may end up setting back the healing process by removing the dressing. An experimental new dressing is designed to help, as ...

A wound dressing made from a nanocellulose mesh detects early signs of infection in skin wounds by monitoring pH. A nanocellulose-based wound dressing has been developed by researchers at Linköping ...

Scientists have developed a next generation wound dressing that can detect infection and improve healing in burns, skin grafts and chronic wounds. Scientists have developed a next generation wound ...

Researchers found that a common antibiotic-resistant bacterium prevents wounds from healing by chemically paralyzing skin cells rather than attacking them directly. Scientists from an international ...

In a recent Nature Reviews Microbiology study, researchers review how the wound microbiota interferes with skin repair processes and facilitates infection onset by modulating host immune responses.

A global DNA deep dive shows why E. coli infections in diabetic foot wounds can be so stubborn, dangerous, and hard to treat.

For some patients undergoing surgery, the journey is just beginning after they leave the hospital. Surgical site infections are among the most common post-op complications, affecting 2% to 4% of ...

A lack of consensus for the term “immunocompromised” suggests that studies demonstrating the effectiveness of infection prevention in surgical patients at a high risk of wound infection may have ...

Background Complex breast surgery, including immediate breast reconstruction and oncoplastic procedures, is increasingly performed to optimise oncologic and aesthetic outcomes. Postoperative wound ...

A nanocellulose wound dressing that can reveal early signs of infection without interfering with the healing process has been developed by researchers at Linköping University, Sweden. Their study, ...
