Then we stimulated one wound with an electric field.” Using a low electric field, about 200 mV/mm, they found that DC stimulation resulted in faster wound closure in all cases and did not negatively ...

Chronic wounds are a major health problem for diabetic patients and the elderly – in extreme cases they can even lead to amputation. Using electric stimulation, researchers in a project at Chalmers ...

Chronic wounds such as diabetic skin ulcers can be very slow to heal, potentially leading to amputations or sometimes even death. A new bandage could speed their healing by delivering electrical ...

Among the many amazing inventions unveiled to the world in 2023 was a new biochip that held the potential to change how humans recover from injury. Researchers designed and developed a biochip that ...

Electrically stimulating key cells in the immune system could "reprogram" them to reduce inflammation and encourage faster and more effective healing in the body. This is the discovery of scientists ...

Scientists in Melbourne have discovered how tiny electrical pulses can steer stem cells as they grow, opening the door to new ...
