Serious burn injuries result in total loss of skin surfaces that can lead to subsequent infections and delayed healing.1 Patients with unexcised full thickness burns have an increased ris...
Introduction: Placental membranes have been successfully used for chronic wound treatment. Placental membrane contains three major, distinct layers: the amniotic membrane (AM), the chorio...
Biofilms form when bacterial cells aggregate with each other and on surfaces and secrete extracellular polymeric substances, encasing the cells in a matrix. Biofilms can form when wounds ...
Abstract Body: Biofilms can form on surfaces, such as medical devices and wounds, leading to infection, inflammation and delayed wound healing. Unlike their planktonic counterparts, biofi...
Abstract Body: Although biofilms can be formed by a single species, they are generally multispecies and can comprise of aerobic bacteria, anaerobic bacteria, fungi and yeasts. Biofilms ar...
Biofilm formation in acute and chronic wounds is associated with delayed wound healing, inflammation, and infection, and therefore pose a large burden on health care. Once formed, biofilm...
Biofilms can form in wounds and on indwelling medical devices, causing complications such as delayed wound healing, inflammation, and infection. Although biofilms can be formed by a singl...
In wounds, biofilms form a diverse mix of cellular aggregates and self-producing extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). The development of EPS is important for biofilm establishment, t...
Cell migration plays a key role in both normal physiological and pathological conditions, including wound healing. The in vitro scratch wound model is a commonly used model to assess cell...
Background: Cell membrane damage is common in skin injury. Cell survival depends on the initiation of a rapid resealing to resume the structural integrity of the cell membrane to mai...
