Repairing wounds without leaving any scars is possible by blocking the sugar molecule hyaluronan which causes inflammation, a recent study has revealed.
New Bioactive Peptides can Help Heal Wounds
Scientists have made new bioactive peptides which help wounds to heal by activating the growth of new blood vessels and epithelial tissue.
Scientists have made new bioactive peptides which help wounds to heal by activating the growth of new blood vessels and epithelial tissue.
Hyaluronan levels are extremely high in developing embryos and newborns, which can recover readily from surgery without scarring. But its levels decrease with age.
Hyaluronan fragments engage the receptor for hyaluronan-mediated motility (RHAMM), setting off inflammation that can result in fibrotic scarring and weak granulated tissue.
Study Claims Harder for Wounds to Heal With Stress and Anxiety
A new study reports that with stressed-out and anxious patients it is harder and takes longer for wounds to heal.

One of them, peptide 15-1, showed an affinity for fastening itself to hyaluronan fragments, effectively keeping them from the RHAMM.
Healing of Diabetic Wounds Depends on Level of Depression
Whether diabetic foot wounds heal or worsen depends on first, how patients cope with these ulcers, and second, their levels of depression, claims a University of Nottingham study.
