Chronic wounds are a major medical challenge, burdening health care systems with billions of dollars in costs every year.

We have now learned why wounds in our mouth don't scar, which could lead to treatments that prevent such blemishes on the ...

Diffuse photon density wave (DPDW) methodology at Near Infrared frequencies has been used to calculate absorption and scattering from wounds of healthy and diabetic rats. The diffusion equation for ...

Background:In obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), adipose tissue expansion (because of larger adipocytes) results in reduced microvascular density which is thought to lead to adipocyte hypoxia ...

Obesity, defined by a BMI over 30, significantly impacts dermatological health due to excess adipose tissue's endocrine activity, leading to chronic inflammation and impaired immunity. This increases ...

Tissue adhesives or glues are increasingly used in place of stitches (sutures) or staples to close wounds. It has been suggested that tissue adhesives may be quicker and easier to use than sutures for ...

In the lean, healthy state, adipose tissue (AT) has critical roles in maintaining organismal homeostasis. Paramount among the various roles of AT is the regulation of whole body metabolism. While ...

Background Adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs), a type of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), have great potential as therapeutic agents in regenerative medicine. Numerous animal studies have ...

In medically indicated weight loss, attention is typically focused on the associated health benefits. However, recent ...

Growing evidence suggests a critical role for overnutrition in the development of low-grade inflammation. Specifically, chronic inflammation in adipose tissue is considered a crucial risk factor for ...

The market size for tissue engineering for wound care is expected to leap from $6.08 billion in 2024 to $6.99 billion in 2025, marking a compound annual growth rate CAGR of 15.1%.

Dressings loaded with bioactive factors secreted by adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) show potential for diabetic wound healing. However, single functionality and limited integration with wounds ...
