Wound healing made faster

Australian scientists say they've found a way to make wounds heal at least twice as fast as they would normally.In preliminary findings, a team at the Australian University of Technology reports they have been able to raise the effect of a number of key hormones involved in the body's own tissue-repair system by assembling them into a wound-healing "complex". The researchers believ...

Treating wounds without stitches

Having a cut stitched is a painful experience - but it's generally been a...
