Silk wound dressing helps eliminate scar tissue formation

Researchers from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, China have developed a new type of wound dressing, based on a silk protein sericin hydrogel, that can achieve skin regeneration with little to no scar tissue formation. Testing has shown the hydrogel is able to block bacteria from entering the wound, promoting accelerated healing.

A first of its kind study between RMIT University, the University of Melbourne, and Austin Health, used thermal imaging to predict the size and healing trajectory of recently developed diabetic foot ulcers.

BioLab Sciences, an innovator in regenerative medicine technologies, has announced the patent of MyOwn Skin^TM, a new, non-evasive, regenerative tissue therapy that uses a patient’s own skin to accelerate the healing of chronic wounds, burns, diabetic foot ulcers and other difficult-to-heal wounds.
