The study showed that the bandage healed diabetic wounds 33 percent faster than one of the most popular bandages currently on the market. "The novelty is that we identified a segment of a protein in skin that is important to wound healing, made ... //www.nitorex.com/news/new-regenerative-bandage-for-faster-diabetic-wound-healing-180181-1.htm //www.nitorex.com/news/enzyme-that-controls-secretion-of-collagen-identified-180136-1.htm bAn enzyme called 'USP8' is the key enzyme involved in the controlling of collagen secretion/b, a research team at the Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) claims. All of our cells make and release proteins. The proteins are packaged as "cargo" in tiny, bubble-like vesicles before being transported outside the cell. This process, known as secretion, is vital to healthy growth and development. Although many studies have shown how these vesicles, called COPII carriers, handle relatively ... //www.nitorex.com/news/enzyme-that-controls-secretion-of-collagen-identified-180136-1.htm //www.nitorex.com/news/nanoparticles-to-detect-serious-wound-scarring-179999-1.htm Using nanoparticles scientists were able to quickly and accurately predict whether a wound is likely to lead to excessive scarring as occurs in keloids and skin contractures. The new method has been developed by scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) and Northwestern University in the United States. Clinicians currently find it difficult to predict how scars will develop following surgery or after a burn wound, without resorting to invasive testing.

Samara Biotech LLC, a Purdue startup, has developed an easy-to-use method to inject oxygen "nanobubbles" intravenously so they can be targeted precisely at wounds or cancerous tumors.

Injection of BTX-A is best known by the brand name Botox is widely used for treatment of facial lines and wrinkles. It is the most common cosmetic procedure in the United States, with about 7 million BTX-A injection procedures performed in 2016, according to ASPS statistics.
