New 'living bandage' delivers healing proteins directly into wounds
Engineered “living bandages” could offer a new way to treat chronic wounds by delivering healing signals directly where the body needs them most. Researchers at Rice University developed a cytokine factory patch that continuously releases therapeutic proteins inside wounds. Chronic wounds remain difficult to treat because the body often struggles to maintain the immune signals needed for tissue repair. Existing therapies also face limitations be…
Living bandage accelerates healing across multiple wound types
Chronic wounds remain a significant clinical challenge, in part because it is difficult to deliver sustained, localized immune signals that coordinate tissue repair. While cytokines play a central role in regulating inflammation and healing, conventional delivery approaches are often limited by rapid degradation and poor retention at the wound site.
American researchers have created a living bandage whose cells continuously produce substances necessary for wound healing.
Researchers at Rice University have developed an innovative “live bandage” that can significantly speed up the treatment of chronic wounds.
