After a spinal cord injury, nearby cells quickly rush to action, forming protective scar tissue around the damaged area to stabilize and protect it. But over time, too much scarring can prevent nerves ...

A team of researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have designed a ground-breaking material that is designed to prevent the buildup of scar tissue around implantable devices. The ...

The scar tissue surrounding pancreatic cancer may offer prognostic insight — and potential new treatment strategies — for patients with pancreatic cancer. The scar tissue that forms around pancreatic ...

Researchers at Rutgers University have discovered that a protein produced by an intestinal nematode parasite, Heligmosomoides polygyrus, can be used to enhance wound healing in mice. The study showed ...

Having cataract surgery these days has been streamlined in comparison to the ordeal it was years ago. Many years ago, cataracts were removed in a hospital setting and the patient during post-op had to ...
