Instructional PowerPoint presentations for cutaneous wound healing and tissue response to sutures.

13 Sep 2009 Wound healing is an intricate process involving the interaction of cells and molecules, resulting in a complex series of events that change the morphology and characteristics of the wounded area. Interactive animations are useful for illustrating ... Read more...

Development of three-dimensional tissue-engineered models of bacterial infected human skin wounds.

30 Aug 2009 While infected skin wounds are on the increase because of ageing populations, rising incidence of diabetes, and antibiotic resistance, we lack relevant in vivo or in vitro models to study many aspects of bacterial interaction with skin. The aim of ... Read more...

DNA repair and cytokine responses.

30 Jul 2009 As sunscreens do not provide complete protection against solar/UV radiation, alternative protective strategies are necessary to cope with the increasing incidence of skin cancer. These strategies include the reduction of UVR-induced DNA damage by ... Read more...
